2.10 Advanced Technology Zone (ATZ) Connections
This feature is not available on the 748 EXPRESS control panel.
Enabling the ATZ feature (see section 7.2) allows you install two detection devices per input
terminal, therefore, doubling zone capacity of the control panel. Advanced Technology Zoning is a
software-oriented feature, there is no need for extra modules, simply install the devices as shown
in figures 17 to 19. The control panel will recognize the installed devices as shown in figure 16. The
extra zones function exactly like any other zone displaying zone status on the keypad and sending
separate alarm codes for each zone. For more information on programming the options mentioned
in the following sections refer to
ZONE DEFINITIONS in section 7.
When ATZ is enabled, keypad zones are recognized as zones 13 and 14. This means that the
control panel will not be able to distinguish between zone 13 and keypad zone 1 and
between zone 14 and keypad zone 2.
2.10.1 N.C. Contacts, Without EOL Resistor
If your security installation does not require
tamper or wire fault recognition but you are
using the ATZ feature, connect the detection
devices and program the control panel as
shown in figure 17. Do not use devices with
normally open contacts, as this will cause the
system to remain in alarm. This setup will
communicate the status of each device to the
control panel (see figure 16), displaying open
zones on the keypad.
