Zones
The
Zones
Option Groups will allow you to set up the
Zone options, as described below: the first column
shows the (Software) Zones supported by the selected
Control Panel.
Label
This 16 character option will allow you to assign
and/or edit the Zone label. The label will identify the
Zone in all parts of the Application.
Position
Associate the physical zones (terminals of the
control panel and of the input expanders, and wireless
detectors) to the logical zones of the control panel (zone
mapping), as described below.
1.
Select a free logical zone in the
Position
column, by
clicking on a cell with the value
Disabled
: the con-
sole displays a menu with the value
Main board
, the
labels of the input expanders in configuration (see
Configuration
>
Expander In
), and
Wireless
, if there
are enrolled wireless detectors (see
Wireless Mod-
ule
>
Wireless Detectors
).
2.
Select
Main board
to map the control panel termi-
nals, or select an input expander to map the termi-
nals of that expander: the console displays a menu
with the terminals available.
3.
Select the terminal you want to associate with the
logic zone.
4.
Select
Wireless
to map the wireless detectors: the
console displays a menu with the labels of the en-
rolled wireless detectors (see
Wireless Module
>
Wireless Detectors
).
5.
Select the wireless detector you want to associate
with the logical zone: if the wireless detector has
multiple inputs, the console displays a menu with
the inputs enabled (see
Inputs
in the
Wireless Mod-
ule
>
Wireless Detectors
option group).
6.
Select the input you want to associate with the logi-
cal zone.
+
Assigning wired zones to logical zones is done au-
tomatically every time you run the wizard setup
(see “Wired zone automapping” on page 121).
+
You can’t set
Wireless Zone
for command zones.
Balance
The Balance Type determines the electrical
state (on the Zone input terminal) that will trigger Alarms.
3
In order to comply with EN50131 Grade 3 stan-
dards, Command Zone
Balance
must be
Triple
End of Line
.
e
In order to comply with the EN50131-1 and
EN50131-3 standards, the Command Zones’s
Bal-
ance
must be
Double End Of Line
: the
Single
End Of Line Balance
is not protected against cut-
ting when the panel is disarmed.
e
In order to comply with the EN50131-1 and
EN50131-3 standards, Zone Alarm’s
Balance
CAN’T be
Normally Closed
and
Normally Open
,
because the line is not protected against short cir-
cuit and cutting.
+
The following electrical states must be present on
the Zone Input terminals for at least 0.3 seconds.
r
Normally Open
— The zone is in Standby status
when the zone terminal is open. The zone is in Alarm
status when the zone terminal is connected to nega-
tive. (e.g. Fire detectors).
r
Normally Closed
— The zone is in Standby status
when the zone terminal is connected to negative. The
zone is in Alarm status when the zone terminal is open.
r
Single End Of Line
— The Zone is in Standby status
when
a
10
Kohms
resistor
(brown-black-or-
ange-gold) is connected between the zone terminal
and negative. If the terminal zone shorts to negative,
the Control Panel will detect Tamper conditions and
generate the following events:
Ø
Tamper on zone
(relative to the zone concerned);
Ø
Tamper alarm on partition
relevant to the Partition
the Zone is assigned to.
In all other cases (Unbalancing, Open, etc.) the zone
is in Alarm status.
r
Double End Of Line
— The Zone in standby status
when two 10 Kohms resistors (brown-black-or-
ange-gold) are connected in parallel between the
zone terminal and negative.
If one of the resistors disconnects, the Control Panel
will generate the events associated with the Zone Type
(refer to “Type”). In all other cases (Zone Open, Con-
nected to Negative, etc.), the Control Panel will detect
Tamper conditions and generate the following events:
Ø
Tamper on zone
(relative to the zone concerned);
Ø
Tamper alarm on partition
relevant to the Partition
the Zone is assigned to.
This Balance Type (using 2 wires) will allow the sys-
tem to detect open
Alarm
and
Tamper
contacts (re-
fer to “Connecting to a Double Balance zone”).
r
Triple End of Line
— In addition to detecting and
signalling the alarm and tamper as in the
Double
End of Line Balance
this type of balance allows you
to detect and signal Grade 3 sensor faults:
Ø
a Grade 3 sensor fault is reported by the event
Sys-
tem > Zone Fault/Masking
.
+
This event does NOT discriminate the fault zone;
this information can be viewed on the keypads
(Viewing Signals and Event Log).
If you select this
Balance
, the detector must be con-
nected as described in par. “INSTALLING > Connection
of Grade 3 detectors”.
