Shunt Groups
Use this menu to allow users to shunt groups of zones.
First, make sure that all the zones you wish users to be able to shunt have the Shuntable
zone attribute (see page 34).
Select the shunt group to edit, and then specify the zones you want to include in that shunt
group. Note that it does not matter which partition the zone belongs to: the user with the
necessary Shunt Code (see below) will be able to shunt that zone as part of the shunt
group.
There are two ways of controlling shunt groups:
Using a Shunt Code
– Create a new user of type Shunt Code (see
the
Administrator's Guide) and assign the shunt group you have created to that user.
When a user enters the shunt code, the control unit shunts all zones in shunt
group(s) allocated to that code. When a user enters the code again, the control unit
restores the zones in the shunt group(s) linked to that shunt code.
By a Master User or Admin User using the
Shunt Groups
option in the User menu
(see
the Administrator's Guide).
The control unit logs the event each time a user shunts or restores a shunt group.
When the control unit activates any shunt group, it also activates any output of type Zones
Shunted (see page 46).
If a shuntable zone is controlled by both a shunt key and a shunt group, the state of the
zone may be unclear to the user. A shunt group cannot be deactivated if any of the group’s
zones are either open or shunted by a shunt key. In general, it is recommended that you
ensure that each shuntable zone is controlled by either a shunt key or a shunt group, but
not both together.
For other ways of shunting zones see Shunt Key Latched on page 29.
Restore Defaults
Staged Defaults
This menu option allows you to default parts of
the control unit’s configuration without
affecting the whole system. You can choose to default the following:
User
Defaults all user access codes, their HUAs, proximity reader tags, and remote
controls. User 001 access code changes to 1234 or 123456, as applicable.
This option also allows you to change between 4-digit and 6-digit codes. If you
change to 6-digit codes, two additional zeros are added to the end of the existing
installer code. If you change to 4-digit codes, the final two digits are removed from
the end of the existing installer code.
Note:
If you wish to make the i-rk01 use four-digit or six-digit access codes, please
refer to the i-rk01 installation instructions.
Zones
Defaults all information relating to zones: types, attributes and partitions. For radio
zones, the control unit retains the IDs of any detectors that the control unit has
already learned.
