Zone Type Descriptions
This section describes applications for the zone types in
programming.
▶
NT (Night Zone) - Controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices such as
PIRs and glassbreak detectors.
▶
DY (Day zone) - Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the zone
name when the zone is faulted. Day zones also will send alarm reports to the receiver during the system’s
armed periods.
▶
EX (Exit zone) - Initiates the entry delay timer when its assigned area is fully armed. Also, can initiate an exit
delay timer to allow a user to exit an area after the arming process has started.
▶
PN (Panic zone) - Used for connecting to mechanical devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm.
Panic zones can provide either a silent or audible alarm with or without reporting to a central station receiver.
▶
EM (Emergency zone) - These are used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the central
station.
▶
SV (Supervisory zone) - Used to provide 24-hour zone supervision. Typical applications are high water, and low
and high temperature gauges.
▶
FI (Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications are for
smoke detectors, sprinkler flow switches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors.
▶
FV (Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual fire
condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Fire Reset. If any Fire zone initiates
an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If an alarm is initiated after 120 seconds, the
cycle is repeated.
▶
A1 and A2 (Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2) - These zones are typically used to protect restricted areas within a
protected premises. Auxiliary 2 zones do not appear in the Status List.
▶
AR (Arming zone) - Allows you to connect a keyswitch to a zone and use it to arm and disarm the system.
▶
CO (Carbon Monoxide) - This output turns on any time a Carbon Monoxide Zone (CO) is placed in alarm. The
output is turned off using Sensor Reset option while no additional CO type zones are in alarm.
▶
IN (Instant) - This provides a zone that does not follow entry ot exit zones. Choose Instant if you need a zone
that will not follow Entry or Exit delay.
▶
DB (Doorbell) - This output is used for zones that are assigned to doorbells. These zones are similar to an
Auxiliary 1 zone type.
