CREATING A 4-ZONE INSTALLATION
Using two DRUID LCD 2x energizers, a four zone installation can be created. Implementing
four zones, a property owner can identify the location of an attempted intrusion to a
greater degree of accuracy. For example, the front, back, left or right side of the property
can each be a unique zone.
To create a four zone system, two DRUID LCD 2x energizers need to be linked via the
keypad bus. Three wires in total need to be wired correctly between the two energizers.
The system ground (KEYPAD-) wire, the data wire (DATA), and the synchronization wire
(SYNC).
One energizer must be configured as a master, and the other energizer configured as a
slave. An energizer is configured by means of a Master/Slave jumper on the energizer main
PCB, just below the LCD display. A master energizer will have the jumper absent, and a
slave energizer must have the jumper inserted.
Master will show as zones 1 & 2 on the keypad.
Slave will show as zones 3 & 4 on the keypad.
Lastly, the master needs to be informed whether a slave energizer is connected creating a
four zone system or if it is a master only two zone system. This is so that a communication
failure (service alarm) can be generated should the slave energizer not respond to the
master’s request for information, and so that the keypad can be dealt with correctly as
either a two or four zone installation.
The
SLAVE ENERGIZER PRESENT
setting is set by first entering installer mode, and
then entering installer code
5001*#
. Further details of this code can be found in this
manual under the
PROGRAMMABLE OPTIONS
section.
Note: Please read the section,
KEYPAD ZONE FOCUS
, in the Druid LCD User Manual Rev1.2 or
later. This section explains how to direct keypad input to a specific zone, or to all zones
simultaneously. Installer
PROGRAMABLE OPTIONS
which are zone focus specific will have the
following text appear bellow the programmable option later in this manual.
*Can be directed to a specific zone, using
