OPERATING SEQUENCE - ZONE SEARCHES (CONTINUED)
When an option has been selected, the FIP searches for a zone from ACZ 0 up to the
programmed maximum LCD zone that meets the specified criteria.
If there are no local zones that meet the criteria, the F4000 then polls the other FIPs on the
network to determine whether they have any zones that meet the criteria.
Once a zone is found that meets the criteria specified, the LCD display reverts to a zone
status display for that zone. When the NEXT or PREV key is pressed, the search continues
for the next or previous zone, respectively, that meets the original search criteria. While the
F4000 is determining the next or previous zone that meets the criteria the LCD display
"Searching".
If no zones matching the criteria are found, the LCD briefly displays a message, and reverts
to the base display.
Note that due to network delays and delays due to processing at a number of remote FIPs, a
zone search command may take some time to complete, especially for larger systems with
no zones that match the search status.
