Expander Areas
Expanders can be assigned to any number of areas, assigning an
expander to an area determines:
•
Which areas the speaker output on the expander will generate
tones for i.e. if the expander is assigned to areas A and C, the
speaker will only operate when areas A or C are in alarm, entry,
exit etc.
•
Which areas will cause a Tamper alarm when the expander
cover is removed
