Maintained Keyswitch
Arm

A keyswitch module may be connected to the zone programmed as Maintained Keyswitch arm. In the restored state, the
panel is disarmed. Only the violation of this zone type to the alarm state will make the panel arm. Tampers and Faults will
only initiate their respective trouble sequence.

NOTE: The panel arms in Away mode (for SKAFOR Installations only).

Future Use

Interior Delay Zone

The Interior Delay Zone is normally used with motion detectors and has a standard exit delay time. If the panel is armed, and
a Delay zone is violated during the Exit Delay (or the Away function key is used), the Interior Delay Zone will be active at the
end of the Exit Delay. This zone will cause an instant alarm when violated. This zone type will follow the Entry Delay time
provided that a Delay zone is violated first. If the panel is armed, and a Delay zone is NOT violated during the Exit Delay (or
the Stay function key is used, or [*][9] armed), a violation of this zone type will initiate Entry Delay1.

24-hr Non-Alarm

These zones are active at all times but do not cause an alarm, and do not show up in alarm memory. Zone Attributes such as
Zone Bypassing and Door Chime affect the functionality of this zone. A 24 Hour Non-alarm zone may be used for Zone Fol-
lower automation applications.

NOTE: This zone type will be active in Walk Test. Tampers and Faults. Zones programmed as 24 Hour Non-alarm
type will not cause alarms. NOTE: Alarms on this zone will not initiate Downlook.

Future Use

Auto Verified Fire Zone

This zone ensures that an alarm condition persists by resetting a tripped sensor in a fire zone and confirming that the sensor
has remained tripped or is waiting for the sensor to re-trip within a set period of time. (e.g. Cycling power to a smoke detec-
tor to ensure the condition persists when power is restored.) The alarm sequence for the zone is indicated below:
  Step #1                       Duration 20 Seconds                    Sensor Reset
  Step #2                       Duration 10 Seconds                    Settle Time (Power Up)
  Step #3                       Duration 60 Seconds                    Check for Verified Alarm

NOTE: If another fire device detects fire during the Auto Verify or Delay sequence, the sequence is terminated
and alarms are immediately generated for all pending zones. This applies to all other Fire zones on the system
regardless of the partition assignments (i.e. two fire alarms anywhere on the system will cancel all pending fire
delays and create immediate alarms).

Fire Supervisory Zone

When this zone is violated, the system turns on the keypad buzzer, and communicates the supervisory alarm condition to
the monitoring station. The buzzer will not follow the Bell-Time-Out timer. To silence the buzzer, a valid access code must be
entered.

Day Zone

A zone programmed with this type has different characteristics in the armed and disarmed state. In the disarmed state, vio-
lating this zone will sound the keypad buzzer but will not log or report the event. In the armed state, violating this zone will
sound the bell and communicate the event.

Instant, Stay/Away
Zone

The Instant Stay/Away Zone will be bypassed when armed in the Stay Mode, but will act like an Instant Zone when armed in
the Away Mode. This zone type is useful for motion detectors in an installation that must not follow the Entry Delay after a
Delay zone is violated, but must still retain the Stay/Away functionality.

Push to Set Zone

When the panel is armed with this zone type programmed an infinite exit delay will begin (see chart below). To complete the
arming sequence after infinite exit delay has begun, the Push to Set zone must be violated and restored, the system then
counts down a five second exit delay. The infinite exit delay is audible.
All arming methods that start infinite exit delay are audible except and [*][9] arming. This zone definition uses SIA data
code “BA-XX / BH-XX” when violated during walk test, Exit Delay Termination should not be used with this zone type
because it does not go into alarm while armed or disarmed (where XX is the zone that went into alarm). Away arming with
a bypassed Push to Set or Final Door Set zone prevents the panel from arming because the exit delay never terminates.

Final Door Set Zone

If Final Door Set zone type is programmed, infinite exit delay will commence when arming is initiated. To complete the arm-
ing sequence after infinite exit delay has begun, the Final Door Set zone must be violated and then restored. When the sys-
tem is armed, this zone functions identically to a Delay 01 zone, including the entry delay programmed in Section [005].
Away arming with a bypassed Push to Set zone or Final Door Set will prevent the panel from arming because the exit delay
never terminates.

24-hr Bell/Buzzer

Similar to 24 Hour Burglary Zone when armed. Similar to 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer zone when disarmed. When the
panel is armed and this zone is violated, the Bell will sound for the duration of Bell Time Out. When the panel is disarmed
and this zone is violated, the buzzers will sound until a valid access code is entered. The SIA identifier BA-XX/BH-XX will be
sent for this zone type in both states.

24-hr Non-Latching
Tamper Zone

To provide support for tamper protection this new 24-hr Non-Latching Tamper Zone type is implemented. This zone is
always active and will report a tamper condition if the panel is armed or disarmed.

Night Zone

This zone type will only be considered as armed when the panel is armed in one of the following ways:
1 The panel is armed and then a delay zone is activated during an exit delay
2 The panel is armed using the away mode function key on the keypad or wireless key.
If the panel is stay armed and then the interior zones are activated through *1 the night zones will not be armed. Instead
the zone will act like a interior stay away type zone. This will give the user a way of arming an area that will not be used
during the night.

Delayed 24-hr Fire
(Wireless)

Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as that of Zone Type [07].

Standard 24-hr Fire
(Wireless)

Used only with wireless smoke detectors. Functions same as that of Zone Type [08].
