Configuring the zones
The MQ03-Alarm supports up to 8 zones. If you need to change the default self-learning behavior,
you can configure the zones from the “RControl Alarm” menu, section “Zones”.
With a double click on the selected zone you can:
Change the name of the zone
– from section “Zone name”
Enable or Disable the zone
– from section “Enabled”
Set the type of the zone
– Instant, Enrty/Exit, Follow, Tamper, Panic, Fire and etc. – from
the menu “Zone type”. Select “Disabled” if the zone will not be used
If you have configured a zone as a “Keyswitch zone”
you can choose if the alarm panel
would be Armed/Disarmed when this zone is activated.
This can be configured from the
menu “Keyswitch action”
Configure zone arming type = “Full arm” and “Stay arm” – from menu “Keyswitch arming”.
Choose if the siren will be activated when the zone is violated – from section “Notification
type”
Can choose if every violation of the zone will be reported during the alarm cycle time. You
can configure this from section
“Report All During Alarm Cycle”.
If this setting is disabled
only the initial violation will be reported and all following activations will not be reported
until the alarm cycle time expires. When the alarm cycle time expires, the zone restore
event will be reported only when the zone is really restored. In addition, even when there
was a restore during the alarm cycle, this restore will not be reported until the expiration of
the alarm cycle time or until the partition is disarmed.
Zone types
Entry/Exit zone
– The Entry/Exit zones can be violated during the entry/exit time delay
without causing an alarm event.
If an Entry/Exit zone is violated while the system is armed, the alarm panel will start
counting the entry time. If the system is not disarmed during the entry time an alarm event
is generated.
NOTE! If the entry/exit time is 0 sec, the Entry/Exit zone works as an Instant zone.
Follow zone -
This zone can be violated during the entry/exit delay time without generating
an alarm event. If the zone is violated while the panel is armed, the panel immediately
generates an alarm event (without counting entry time). It is called “Follow” zone because
it depends on the Entry/Exit zone. If the Follow zone is violated after an Entry/Exit zone has
also been violated then the alarm panel will wait until the entry time passes before
generating an alarm event.
If the Follow zone was violated before any Entry/Exit zone was violated, then an alarm event
will be generated immediately.
NOTE! If the entry/exit time is 0sec, the Follow zone will work as an Instant zone.
