on
the

Keypads
and
PROXI/PROXI2 readers. Violation of a
Chime
Zone —
during Armed status of its Partition — will trigger the Ac-
tions programmed for the
Type
parameter.

The
Chime
Attribute is ineffective on
24h
and
Fire
Zones.
Attributes-Test
Violation of a Zone with this attribute
WILL NOT generate the
Alarm on zone
event. However,
the
“Alarm - Zone under test”
message will be recorded in
the Control Panel log. The
Test
phase will allow you to
check the functionality of the Zones without triggering
Alarm signals. At default, the Control Panel will record
ONLY the Events that occur during Armed status.

In order to comply with the EN50131-1 and
EN50131-3 standards, the tamper continues to work
properly, during the test: information on the keypads,
event logger, outputs and telephone actions.
Attributes-Internal
Zones with this attribute will be by-
passed when their Partitions Arm in Stay mode or Stay
with Zero Delay mode.
Attributes-OR
Violation of a Zone with this attribute
can generate the Events according to the assigned
Type, even when only ONE of its Partitions is Armed.
Attributes-Autobypassable
The zones with this at-
tribute will be bypassed automatically if they are violated
during arming of the partition to which they belong. They
will be unbypassed when their Partitions are Disarmed.
+
The
Autobypassable
attribute is ineffective on
Exit Delay
Zones.
Attributes-Autobypass with Reset
Zones with this
attribute will be bypassed automatically, if violation oc-
curs during Arming procedure of their Partitions. They
will be unbypassed when standby is restored.
Behaviour-Mode
The Zones can be used for system
monitoring (Alarm Zones), or management (Command
Zones).
+
The Wireless Zones CANNOT be Command
Zones.
r
Alarm Event
— If Alarm conditions are detected, the
Alarm Zones will generate the respective event (refer
to “Type”). The
Events-Action
page will allow you to
associate each event with one or more actions (acti-
vation of Outputs, Digital Communicator, Dialler,
etc.). The system cannot generate an Alarm event until
the Partitions the Zone is assigned to Arm (refer to
“Partitions”).
+
This does not apply to
24h
and
Fire
Zone events,
as these events do not depend on Partition status.
If the zone is NOT an
Exit Delay
or
Last Exit
Zone (re-
fer to “Type”) the Control Panel will start monitoring as
soon as the Partitions the Zone is assigned to Arm, oth-
erwise, it will start monitoring when the longest
Exit De-
lay
of the Armed Partitions the Zone is assigned to ends
(refer to “Partitions”).
Each Alarm Zone can generate the Zone Alarm event for
the programmed number of times (refer to “Cycles”).
r
Command
— Each Command Zone can be pro-
grammed to activate one of the following actions:
Ø
Arm Only
Ø
Disarming
Ø
Arm/Disarm
Ø
Arm Swtich
Ø
Clear Call Queue
Ø
Alarm Reset
The Command Zones will activate when they are unbal-
anced (refer to “Balance”) for the programmed number
of times or length of time (refer to “Sensitivity”).

In order to comply with EN50131 Grade 3 stan-
dards, Command Zone
Balance
must be
Triple
End of Line
and Control Devices must be Grade 3.
Behaviour-Command Type
If a
Command
Zone trig-
gers an Alarm (see “Balance" and “Sensitivity”), the
system will generate the programmed Actions. In all
other cases (Tamper and Short Circuit) it will operate as
an Alarm Zone.
Command
Zones will be active at all times, regardless
of the status of their Partitions (Armed/Disarmed).
r
Arm Only
— If this command is selected, all the Par-
titions the Zone is as signed to will Arm when the
Zone triggers an Alarm.
r
Disarming
— If this command is selected, all the
Partitions the Zone is as signed to will Disarm when
the Zone triggers an Alarm.
r
Arm Disarm
— If this command is selected, all the
Partitions the Zone is assigned to will Arm — when
the Zone triggers an Alarm, and Disarm — when it
restores to standby.
r
Arm Switch
— When the zone is activated its Parti-
tions change status: the armed Partitions are dis-
armed; the disarmed Partitions are armed.
+
Partitions — Armed by an
Arm Disarm
Command
Zone — cannot be Disarmed until all the Zones of
that type are in standby status (and CANNOT be
Disarmed via Keypad, Reader, Telephone or PC).
r
Behaviour-Clear Call Queue
— If this option is en-
abled, the Call Queue will be cleared when the Zone
triggers an Alarm for all the event associated to the
partition assigned to the zone. If the zone is Enabled
over all area, when the zone is violated, also the sys-
tem call(s) will be cleared.
r
Behaviour-Alarm Reset
— If this option is enabled,
all the Partitions the Zone is assigned to will Reset
when the Zone triggers an Alarm.
Options-In And Group
If this option is enabled, the
