LEARN ZONE LOADS
(loads learned)
Use the
buttons to highlight the required zone and
then press the
button to select it.
A menu of parameters is then presented for the selected
zone.
Select the Learn Zone Load option and follow instructions
to maximise zone sensitivity to open-circuit conditions.
Note that the Learn Zone Load process must only be performed when all detection zones are in their normal
operating state. The process should be repeated whenever any changes to the zone configuration are made.
The presence of the “(loads learned)” text indicates that the process has been compled successfully.
The Learn Zone Load process must be completed to ensure that the system complies fully
with the requirements of EN54-13.

I.S. ZONE?
Determines whether the circuit is for use with Intrinsic Safety
Barriers.
NO / YES
NO
SHORT=ALARM?
Determines if a short circuit is to be treated as an alarm
condition. If selected, the short circuit supervision on this circuit
is disabled. Normally, AFD or MCP devices will switch the circuit
into the alarm state via a 270Ω-470Ω resistor / equivalent load.
NO / YES

NO
NON-LATCH?
Determines if the panel should automatically reset from the
alarm condition if the alarm is cleared.
