10. Inhibit zone
Use this function to inhibit zones and exclude them from the security system. A zone is inhibited when it is
faulty or broken (that is, it is active). By inhibiting it, you prevent it causing an alarm until it is fixed. You can
also inhibit normal zones if you know their zone number.
An inhibited zone is by default inhibited only until the next disarm of the area to which it belongs.
To inhibit a zone
1. Access menu option 10.
What happens next depends on whether or not there are active zones.

Active zones are listed either one at a time, or as a list of
numbers:

1. If the active zones are shown as a list of numbers, it is not possible to display the name of the zone.
2. If an attempt is made to inhibit a zone that is already inhibited, the request appears as if it is processed but it is not
logged in the history and the zone remains inhibited.
3. As soon as a zone that is in alarm is inhibited, the alarm is reset.
