15.2.3 Alarm Zone
An
Alarm Zone (AZ)
is activated by one or several detection zones.
Example:
An alarm from one of the devices in DZ3 will activate sounders in AZ1.
Within the same alarm zone, alarm sounders give the same audible
signal.
Geographically associated alarm zones can be defined as
neighbour
zones, such that these can operate outputs for alarm zones adjacent
to the incident.
15.2.4 Operation Zone
An
Operation Zone (OZ)
defines the scope of an Operator Panel.
The operation zone can cover one floor or one building, and is
designed to restrict the operators’ sphere of influence on the system
as a whole. At least one Fire Alarm Control Panel / Operator Panel
should have the overall control of the system.
Operation zones on higher levels may encompass several other
operation zones.
Input / Output units (for example, Door Control Units, Sprinkler Control
Units etc.) can be controlled from an Operation Zone.
An Operation Zone given these properties and necessary parameter
settings is referred to as a
Control Operation Zone
.
Different day / night operation for different areas (i.e. detection zones)
requires the use of several Operation Zones / sub-operation zones
with different Day / Night Operation. An Operation Zone given these
properties and necessary parameter settings is referred to as a
Day /
Night Operation Zone
.
