Technical Alarm –TA (07).
Use this zone type when you want to monitor equipment, for example a
freezer, without raising a full alarm. If a technical alarm zone is activated
then the control unit logs the event and (if the control unit is correctly
programmed, see page 97) starts communication.
If the technical alarm occurs while the system is set, then system makes
no audible alarm. When a user unsets the system the keypad shows an
alert.
If a technical alarm zone is activated while the system is unset then the
system starts an alert immediately and gives a brief tone from the keypad
every few seconds. When a user enters a valid access code the keypad
stops the tone and displays the zone causing the alarm.
When the user acknowledges the alert by pressing

the control unit
resets the technical alarm ready for the next event.
Key Switch Momentary – KSM (08) 30 40 50 160.
Use this zone type to connect a momentary keyswitch to a single zone.
In a Part Setting system the keyswitch can Full Set or unset.
In a Partitioned system you can allocate the keyswitch to one or more
partitions.
Each time a user operates the keyswitch the control unit changes the
current set state.
Key Switch Latched – KSL (09) 30 40 50 160.
Use this zone type to connect a fixed position keyswitch to a single zone.
In a Part Setting system the keyswitch can Full Set or unset. As with
Momentary keyswitches, you can allocate the zone to one or more
Partitions (see above).
When the user closes the keyswitch contacts then the control unit sets the
allocated Partition. When the user opens the contacts then the control unit
unsets the allocated Partition.
Notes:
1. The keyswitch zone types are intended for use on zones that connect
to an access control keypad, electronic key or other type of hardwired
device used to set or unset the system.
2. When the user operates the keyswitch while the system is unset then
the control unit starts the programmed exit mode.
3. When the user operates the keyswitch while the system is set then the
control unit unsets the system immediately.
4. The user cannot reset the system from a Keyswitch zone.
5. Do not assign more than one Latched Key Switch zone to a partition.
Tamper – T (10)
Use this zone type to monitor the tamper status of external equipment.
The control unit monitors a Tamper zone at all times. When triggered in
the unset condition, only internal sounders operate. When triggered in the
set condition, the alarm response determines whether external sounders,
strobe and communications also respond to the alarm.
