3. Set the Zone parameters.
This parameter group allows editing the Area Switch input combinations depending on how many Zone Sets are
selected. The number of Area Switches (AS#) equal to the number of unassigned inputs will appear in the graphic.
Manually set the input switch coding by clicking inside the Area Switch boxes for each Zone Set. To be valid, all
Area Switching must differ by two input bit states. It is possible to set the input switch coding with specific function
buttons.
• If the configuration includes only one Zone Set, it is not necessary to insert any parameters.
• If two Zone Sets are selected, at least two pins must be assigned to the Area Switch function.
• If 3 to 6 Zone Sets are selected (in this case no other functions are available), pins 1, 3 and 4 must be assigned
to the Area Switch function.
• If 4 to 6 Zone Sets are selected, the ability to switch between Zone Sets is limited. This limitation is to ensure
that two Area Switch inputs must change to switch between Zone Sets. SX5soft does not obligate changing the
Zone Sets sequentially (i.e. Zone Set 1, 2, 3, 4, etc in order), therefore the user must verify that the selected
passage from one Zone Set to another (in any order) guarantees that at least two Area Switch inputs change
signal levels.

4. Delete, set, or verify the Zone Sets.
• To delete the selected Zone Set, click the X icon.
• To automatically set the Zone Set combinations, click the binary icon.
• To verify the Zone Set combinations, click the checkmark icon.
5. Set the Input Signals (wires).
This parameter group assigns the signals of the input functions to the scanner pins. Each pin is also associated with
color-coded cable wiring, according to safety equipment regulations and standards. Pins already assigned as an
output are grayed out. Pins 1, 3, and 4 can be assigned as Area Switch Inputs (1, 2, or 3 depending on the number
of Zone Sets used).
