Cross Zoning
Caution must be taken when cross zoning devices to ensure that the Cross Zone Time is long enough to allow an
intruder to trip both devices before it expires. A Cross Zone Time that is too short may allow an intruder to trip the
devices and allow only a zone fault report be sent to the central station.
When a Cross Zoned zone trips, a FAULT report is sent to the SCS-1R Receiver. When two Cross Zoned zones trip
within the Cross Zone Time, both zones send ALARM signals to the receiver. For example, if zones 1 and 2 are Cross
Zoned zones, and only zone 1 trips, a FAULT report is sent to the receiver for zone 1. If zone 1 trips and zone 2 trips
within the Cross Zone Time, an ALARM report is sent to the receiver for zone 1 and zone 2.
To operate correctly, all cross-zone zones need to be programmed as the same zone type.
Zone Type Descriptions
This section describes applications for the default zone types in Zone Information programming.
NT
(Night Zone) - Controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices such as PIRs.
DY
(Day zone) - Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the zone name when
the zone is faulted. Day zones also will send alarm reports to the receiver during the system’s armed periods.
EX
(Exit zone) - Initiates the entry delay timer when its assigned area is fully armed. Also, can initiate an exit delay
timer to allow a user to exit an area after the arming process has started.
PN
(Panic zone) - Used for connecting to mechanical devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm. Panic
zones can provide either a silent or audible alarm with or without reporting to a central
station receiver.
EM
(Emergency zone) - These are used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the
central station.
SV
(Supervisory zone) - Used to provide 24-hour zone supervision. Typical applications are high water, and low and
high temperature gauges.
FI
(Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications are for smoke
detectors, sprinkler flow switches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors.
FV
(Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual fire condition.
When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Fire Reset. If any Fire zone initiates an alarm within
120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If an alarm is initiated after 120 seconds, the cycle is repeated.
A1
and
A2
(Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2) - These zones are similar to a Night zone and are typically used to protect
restricted areas within a protected premises. Auxiliary 2 zones do not appear in the Status List.
AR
(Arming zone) - Allows you to connect a keyswitch to a zone and use it to arm and disarm the system.
CO
(Carbon Monoxide) - This output turns on any time a Carbon Monoxide Zone (CO) is placed in alarm. The output is
turned off using Sensor Reset option while no additional CO type zones are in alarm.
IN
(Instant) - This provides a zone that does not follow entry ot exit zones. Choose Instant if you need a zone that will
not follow Entry or Exit delay.
DB (Doorbell)
- This output is used for zones that are assigned to doorbells.These zones are similar to an Auxiliary 1
zone type.
Zone Type Defaults
The XTLplusINT panel contains 13 default zone types that provide the most commonly selected functions for their
applications. All zone types can be customized by changing the variable options listed below.
Key Fob
- Indicates if a DMP key fob is programmed.
Type
- These are the abbreviations displayed on the keypad for the zone types.
Area
- For a ALL/PERIM or HOME/SLEEP/AWAY system, this is either Interior, Bedroom, or Perimeter. For an AREA
system use 1 to 6.
