Zone delay
Use this menu to configure zone delays (on or off), for each zone in your fire
alarm and evacuation system. If the zone delay is ON, for alarms reported from
this zone, any output activation (fire routing and expansion board outputs) will
consider delay before activation. The default setting for all zones is ON.
For a stand-alone control panel, you specify the zone using the zone number.
When the control panel is in a fire network, unique zone numbers are created by
defining a unique starting number for the first zone in each panel. For example, if
the first zone is numbered 101, then zone 04 will have the number 104.
In a fire network, if the control panel is configured to activate with remote zones,
you can enter “others” to select the delay for remote zones.
See the topic “Fire network and repeaters configuration” on page 56 for further
details.

1. Set the display as shown below, and then press Enter.
2. Select the zone (for example, zone 1), and then press Enter.
