ID1000 Series Operating Manual
If the device selected is in a zone which has previously been masked by means of a remote switch,
the system displays a warning message:
ZONE n already masked by remote action:
to continue: Password?
and you will need to enter a passcode to over-ride the remote switch action (if you have already
entered a passcode for some previous operation you are simply asked to confirm your action).
The display then shows:
(device description)
MASK (Y/N)?
if the device is currently not masked, and
(device description)
UNMASK (Y/N)?
if it is masked.
In either case, press YES to invert the current status: i.e. change from MASKED to UNMASKED or
from UNMASKED to MASKED. If the device is an Output attached to a CMX module (logical types
CTRL or BELL - but not CDI), and you intend to MASK it, you will be asked for a passcode (see
Section 3.8) and only when this is correctly entered will the MASKing action be carried. Note that no
passcode is required if you are UNMASKing the module.
If you are MASKing the device, the panel then requests you to choose between temporary and
permanent mode as described in Section 3.14.1. See that section for further details.
3.14.3 Mask and Unmask - Complete Zone via Remote Switch
This function is only available if a remote switch is connected to a loop module which has been
configured as an AUXILIARY type input, and this has been linked to a MASK operation on a particular
zone or zones. See the ID1000 Series Programming Manual for details (997-340-003) on how to
configure this option. It enables the use of a remotely-placed switch to mask and unmask zones
without the need for access to the panel. Only complete zone masking, not individual devices, is
possible by this means.
Operate the switch as indicated so as to mask the zone or zones according to the pre-programmed
set-up. If the switch contains, or is adjacent to, an indicator lamp, this should light up when the mask
operation has been completed. Release the switch so as to restore the zones to normal.
3.14.4 Mask and Unmask - Time-of-Day Control
Using the time-of-day function, input devices can be masked and unmasked as part of the panel
configuration set up. This is done by creating appropriate entries in the Control Matrix - refer to
Section 4.8 of the ID1000 Programming Manual (997-340-003).
