ESIM384 Installation and Configuration Manual v1.1
14. ZonES
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the alarm system’s zone terminals. Once connected, the
associated zone’s parameters must be configured.
eSIM384 comes equipped with 8 on-board zones allowing to connect up to 8 detection devices. For more details regarding zone expansion,
please refer to
14.2. Zone Expansion
.
ESIM384 zones are classified by 5 categories:
Zone category
Description
Max. number of
zones per device
Max. number of
zones in total
On-board zones
Built-in wired zones of eSIM384 alarm system.
8/16*
8/16*
Keypad zones
Hardwired zones of eKB2/eKB3/eKB3W/eWKB4 keypad. 1

ePGM1 zones
Zones of ePGM1 - hardwired zone and PGM output expan-
sion module.

Wireless zones
Non-physical zones automatically created by connected
wireless devices.

64***
Virtual zones
Non-physical zones intended for Panic button feature (alarm
activation upon pressing the button) on eWK1/eWK2 wire-
less keyfob. Virtual zones can be manually created using
EL-
DES Configuration
software.

* - 8-Zone mode is enabled by default. AtZ mode doubles the on-board zone number and increases it to 16 in total.
** - Depends on the paired wireless device.
*** - Available only if no keypad zones, ePGM1 zones and virtual zones are present.
**** - Available only if no keypad zones, ePGM1 zones and wireless zones are present.
14.1. Zone numbering
the zone numbers ranging from Z1 through Z16 are permanently reserved for on-board zones even when AtZ mode is disabled. the
Z17-Z80 zone numbers are automatically assigned in the chronological order to the created virtual zones and the devices connected to the
system: keypads, wireless devices, ePGM1 modules.
14.2. Zone Expansion
For additional detection device connection, the number of zones can be expanded by:
•
enabling the AtZ (Advanced technology zone) mode (see
14.4. atZ (advanced technology Zone) Mode
).
•
connecting ePGM1 hardwired zone and PGM output expansion module.
•
connecting keypads (see
32.1.1. EKB2 – lCD Keypad
,
32.1.2. EKB3 – lED Keypad
and
19.4. EKB3W/EWKB4 – Wireless lED
Keypad
).
•
pairing wireless devices (see
19. WIrElESS DEVICES
).
•
creating virtual zones (see
ELDES Configuration
software’s Help section).
the maximum supported number of zones is 80.
14.3. 8-Zone Mode
By default, eSIM384 alarm system runs in the 8-Zone mode under zone connection type 1 allowing to connect up to 8 detection devices of
NO (normally-open) type to the on-board zone terminals as indicated in the wiring diagram of type 1. Different zone connection types of
8-Zone mode can be individually assigned to each on-board zone.
the ePGM1 module supports “non AtZ” mode only, while the selected zone connection type applies to hardwired zones of ePGM1 module
altogether. By default, ePGM1 module runs under zone connection type 1. However, a mixed combination of type 1 and type 2 zone con-
nection types is supported simultaneously regardless of the type (type 1 or type 2) selected in the system’s configuration. Once type 3 zone
connection type is selected, the detection device wiring on ePGM1 module zones must be done according to the wiring diagram of the
associated type.
the keypads support type 1 and type 2 wiring. A mixed combination of both zone connection types is supported by keypad zones.
Zone connection types featured by 8-Zone mode are following:
•
type 1
– Parallel wiring of NO (normally-open) detection device with 5,6kΩ eOL (end-of-line) resistor.
•
type 2
– Consecutive wiring of NC (normally-closed) detection device with 5,6kΩ eOL resistor.
•
type 3
– Combination of serial and parallel wiring of tamper with 5,6kΩ eOL resistor and NC detection device with 3,3kΩ eOL resistor.
For zone wiring diagrams of the “non AtZ” mode, please refer to
2.3.2. Zone Connection types
