If the zone is still open when the Exit or Entry Delay expires, an alarm will be generated and the bell/siren will
sound. Also, refer to Mode 20 Address [732] Alarm-on-Exit Code for more information on alarms and delay zones.
Note that the abort or delayed transmission feature does not apply for this zone type.
Zone Type 6: Delay/Instant
This zone definition is designed for use with motion detectors in the exit/entry path. If a Delay 1 or Delay 2 zone is
activated and an Exit or Entry Delay is in progress, all Delay/Instant zones will also feature the same delay time.
For example, a door contact on the exit/entry door could be programmed as a Delay 1 or Delay 2 zone, and the
motion detector in a hallway leading to the Keypad could be programmed as a Delay/Instant zone. When the door
is opened, the Entrance Delay begins; when the motion detector is activated, the Entrance Delay is initiated on the
Delay/Instant zone to allow time to reach the Keypad.
If Delay/Instant zone is activated without there being an Exit or Entry Delay in progress, an alarm will be generated
instantly and the bell/siren will sound.
Zone Type 7: Instant
This zone definition is designed for use on door and window contacts. Activating this zone will instantly generate an
alarm whenever the system is armed, even during the Exit/Entry Delay periods. When activated, the bell/siren will
sound.
Zone Type 8: Buzzer Only
This zone type will cause the Keypad sounder to “beep” continuously until the alarm is restored. The bell/siren will
not sound, and the event is not reported to the monitoring station but will be stored in alarm event memory.
Zone Type 9: No Alarm
Use this zone definition for zones which are not used or for zones that are to be permanently bypassed. When an
unused zone is programmed with this definition, note that a resistor need not be connected between the unused
zone terminal and a COM terminal.
Zone Type A: Delay 2
Functions in the same manner as a Delay 1 zone, but may be assigned a different Entry Delay time. The Entry
Delay time for Delay 2 zones is programmed in Mode 22 Address [022].
Zone Type B: Probation
This zone definition is used primarily for system testing; Probation alarms do not sound the bell or siren, and are not
reported to the monitoring station. When activated while the panel is disarmed, an alarm will be indicated on the
Keypad but the event will not be recorded in alarm memory; only when activated while the panel is armed will the
event will be recorded in alarm memory. If a Probation zone is left open while the system is disarmed, the condition
will be indicated on the Keypad.
Zone Type C: 10-Second Buzzer with Report
Like a 24-Hour zone, this type of zone is active whether the panel is armed or disarmed. When tripped, the bell/
siren will not sound but the Keypad sounder will produce a short “beep” every 10 seconds. The alarm will also be
reported to the monitoring station and the event will be recorded in alarm memory.
Zone Type D: 24-Hour Tamper Zone
This zone definition is similar in operation to a 24-Hour Audible zone. 24-Hour Tamper Zones are active whether or
not the panel is armed or disarmed. When tripped, the alarm cannot be reset by the user; the Installer’s Code is
required to reset the alarm. For more information, refer to Mode 25 Test Mode and Tamper Restore.
Zone Type E: Delay/Instant (Home and Away)
This zone type is similar to the Type 6 Delay/Instant zone. If a Delay 1 or Delay 2 Zone is not opened during the
Exit Delay, all Type E zones will be automatically bypassed. This feature is designed to allow the user to
automatically bypass all interior zones when they wish to arm the system and remain on the premises (“home”
status).
If a Delay 1 or Delay 2 zone is opened during the Exit Delay, all Type E zones will function in the same manner as
Type 6 zones (“away” status).
NOTE: Home-Away zones should not be shared between Groups. For example, if Zone 6 is assigned to both
Groups A and B, it should not be defined as a Home-Away zone.
