Section 4: Programming Options
4.7 Available Zone Types
Delay 1
Commonly assigned to primary points of entry. Follows entry delay 1 and exit delay timers. Arming the alarm system starts the exit delay timer.
After the exit delay has expired, opening the door starts the entry delay timer. During entry delay, the keypad buzzer prompts the user to disarm the
system.
Delay 2
Commonly assigned to secondary points of entry (further from the keypad). Follows entry delay 2 timer.
Instant
Commonly used for perimeter doors and windows, this zone type follows the exit delay. The alarm is triggered instantly if the zone is tripped after the
exit delay expires.
Interior
Commonly assigned to interior motion sensors near a point of entry, such as a foyer or hallway, that must be accessed to reach the keypad. The
alarm is activated if the system is armed and a delay type zone (e.g., front door) is not tripped first, or if the entry/exit timer expires before the alarm is
disarmed. Otherwise, the zone is instant if tripped.
Interior
Stay/Away
Similar to Interior zone type except that the system bypasses the zone when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used to activate perimeter zones
while permitting free movement throughout the interior.
Delay
Stay/Away
Similar to delay 1 except that the zone is bypassed when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used with motion detectors that cover an entry point.
Day Zone
Commonly used in areas where immediate notification of entry is desired. When disarmed, tripping this zone activates the keypad buzzer but does
not log or report the event. When armed, tripping this zone activates the siren then logs and reports the event.
Note:
An alarm during exit delay causes the siren to activate and remain on when exit delay expires.
Standard 24-
Hour Fire
This zone is used with smoke detectors. The siren sounds instantly when the smoke detector is activated. If enabled, the communicator imme-
diately transmits the alarm to the monitoring station. A tamper or fault of this zone type causes a fire trouble to log and transmit.
Auto Verify
Fire
This 24 hour zone type validates an alarm condition by looking for a second alarm transmission or the absence of an alarm restoral condition on wire-
less smoke detectors. When the zone is activated, a 40-second delay begins. If the zone is still faulted after 40 seconds, the system goes into full
alarm. The bell sounds and the event is logged and communicated. If another fire zone is activated during the auto verify sequence, alarms are imme-
diately generated for all pending zones. This applies to all other fire zone types and to [F] key alarms.
If the zone is no longer in alarm at the end of the 40 second delay, an 80-second verification timer begins.If another fire zone is activated during the
auto verify sequence, both zones go into alarm immediately.
Note:
Wireless smoke detectors used with this zone type must have a built in siren to act as a pre-alert to the system alarm.
24-Hour CO
This zone type is used with CO detectors. In the event of an alarm, a distinctive siren cadence is sounded. This is followed by a 5-second pause and
then repeated. After 4 minutes, the 5-second pause is extended to 60 seconds; however, BTO must be programmed with a value of 5 minutes or
higher. The siren is silenced when an access code is entered or the siren times out.
24-Hour Burg-
lary
This zone type is active at all times. It reports an alarm if the alarm system is armed or disarmed. This zone type sounds the siren for the length of Bell
time-out if the audible attribute is enabled.
24-Hour Hol-
dup
Instant alarm when activated, silent alarm at default.
Note:
Not for use in UL listed installations.
24-Hour
Panic
Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default.
24-Hour Med-
ical
Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default.
24-Hour
Supervisory
This zone is active and reports alarms at all times when tripped. The siren and keypad buzzer do not activate.
24-Hour
Temperature
This zone type is used with temperature sensors and is activated when the temperature rises above a programmed threshold. Instant alarm when
activated, audible alarm at default. This zone type generates an alarm when the system is armed or disarmed.
Note:
The temperature threshold includes a 3 °C (5-6 °F) difference between a given state and its restored condition. For
example, an alarm at 6 °C is restored at 3°C (High temperature) or 9°C (Low temperature), depending upon the zone type selec-
ted.
24-Hour
Flood
Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default.
24-Hour Non-
Alarm
This zone is active at all times but does not cause an alarm. Zone attributes such as Zone Bypassing and Door Chime affect the functionality of this
zone. This zone type can also be assigned to a temperature sensor if indoor/outdoor temperature display is required without temperature warnings or
alarm conditions.
