Use the zones
The zones serve to group the detectors together based on function, for improved use of the
system. During the configuration phase, both the number of zones and their type can be
determined.
10.2.1
Zone types
Zones can be programmed as follows:
-
intrusion alarm: groups together the detectors that signal intrusion attempts and
that must only be enabled when needed, typically when the area to be protected is
unattended;
-
active on a 24h basis: groups together the detectors that must always be on to
provide reports relating to security, e.g. flooding detectors, smoke detectors, gas
detectors and technological detectors in general;
The intrusion alarm zones can be configured in Notifiation mode, Home mode or Away mode.
Notification and Home modes assume that the areas are not fully unattended, and therefore
no signal of any kind is activated (external sirens and telephone messages).
In the event of an alarm in Away mode, on the other hand, all reports provided for by the
system will be activated. All of these actions can be configured.
WARNING!
The technical zone (24h) and Pre-alarm and Internal Alarm modes do not comply
with the EN 50131-1 standard. The functions relating to domestic security, for
example flooding detectors, smoke detectors, gas detectors and technological
detectors in general, and the Home Automation functions, are not covered by EN
50131 1 and EN 50131 3 standards.
10.2.2
Subdivision into zones
Subdivision of the intrusion alarm system into zones allows greater flexibility in terms of
management and meeting user needs.
For example, perimeter detectors (e.g. window and door opening) can be associated with
one zone, and passive infra-red detectors with another. This way, the user can activate just
the first zone at night, for when they are asleep, and both when the leave the house
unattended. This setting signals intrusion attempts while the user sleeps, but allows people
to move freely as required within the house. The option to activate and deactivate various
zones is also very useful if there is a garage, a shop, an office or a laboratory adjacent to the
house. In such cases, the option of associating the various areas with different zones makes
it possible to protect them selectively, via a single system, arming the anti-intrusion function
when nobody is present.
