4 Area Wide Parameters
4.1 Area / Bell Parameters, Open / Close Options
An area is defined as a geographically grouped set of points.
Configurations
Area programming offers a wide selection of different system configurations. The control
panel assigns an account number to each area to define annunciation, control, and reporting
functions. Make area arming conditional on other areas (master or associate), if desired. You
can configure any area for perimeter and interior arming, not requiring a separate area for this
function. Link multiple areas to a shared area which is automatically controlled (hallway or
lobby).
For systems with more than one area, all areas must be under the responsibility of one
ownership and management. This may be a group of buildings attached or unattached and
may even have different addresses but are under the responsibility of someone having mutual
interest (other than the alarm installing company). This does not apply to strip mall
applications where each independent business must have their own separate alarm system.
An example for a commercial system would be a business that has an OFFICE area and a
WAREHOUSE area in a building where each area can be armed or disarmed independently.
As a residential example a system could be configured with the garage and house as separate
areas.
In each of the examples above all of the areas are under the sole responsibility of a single
owner.
In multi-area systems the bell (or siren) and control panel must be in one of the protected
areas.
The bell or siren must be located where it can be heard by users who turn areas on and off
(arm and disarm).
The B9512G supports up to 32 areas. The B8512G supports up to 8 areas.
