1.2: Zones
The Penta XL series of control panels includes security zones plus one tamper zone which
can be defined for use with an ON/OFF keyswitch. The security zones are fully pro-
grammable and supervised by end of line resistors. The Penta XL series offers a number of
zone response types, including a dedicated fire zone, to suit a wide range of installations.
You can program each burglary zone to activate the siren/bell when tripped or to generate
a silent alarm in which only a message is sent to the central station. The following is a
summary of the functional characteristics of each zone response type:
Perimeter Zone
Perimeter zones instantly generate an alarm when opened.
Suggested Use:
Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors and windows which
are never used to enter the premises.
Perimeter Zone With Delay
This zone type starts the entry delay when opened, allowing the user time to disarm the
system.
Suggested Use:
Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors commonly used to
enter or leave the premises.
