Detectors/Devices Menu
Page 42
If you program a radio zone but the control unit does not have a detector learned for
that zone, the keypad displays
“Zone programmed but not learned” when you leave
the Installer menu.
Name
You can give each zone a 12-character name. The control unit displays this name when,
for example, you select the zone or the zone generates an alarm.
Type
The list below shows the available zone types.
Note:
When configuring zone types, the bottom line of the keypad
display shows a “*” to
the left of the
zone’s current type.
You can select a zone type quickly by entering the two-digit shortcut number shown
in brackets after the type’s name in the list below. For example, enter “05” to select
Final Exit. The number does not appear on the display.
The abbreviation of the type name (e.g. HUA) appears in the top-right corner of the
keypad's display when you select a zone.
When the description specifies
“system”, this means the alarm system itself in a
part-setting system, or those partitions the zone is allocated to in a partitioned
system.
When several zones are activated at the same time, the control unit processes Hold
Up Alarm and Normal Alarm zones first, followed by Fire, and then all other alarm
types. The control unit always processes alarms before alerts.
Not Used - NU (00)
The alarm system will not respond when an event triggers this detector. This is the
default zone type for all zones.
Hold Up Alarm
– HUA (01)
Operating a device programmed as Hold Up Alarm (HUA) will start an alarm whether
the system (or partition) is set or unset.
The alarm response for HUA (audible, silent or displayed) depends on the options
selected by HUA Response (see page 74). (In a part-setting system, look for HUA
Response under
System Options
; in a partitioned system, look in the sub-menu for
each partition.)
If a communications module is fitted, there may also be an alarm transmission to the
ARC, depending on how you have configured the
ARC Reporting
option (see page
Fire Alarm - FA (02)
Smoke or heat detectors connected to Fire Alarm zones cause the internal sounders
to give a pulsing fire signal. Fire alarms operate whether the system is set or unset,
and will always trigger communications, if a communications module is fitted and
enabled.
When the control unit first learns a radio smoke alarm (for example the DET-
RSMOKE),
the zone type defaults to “Fire”.
Note that a tamper from a hardwired smoke alarm on a Fire Alarm zone when the
system is unset will cause an internal alarm (internal sounders and speakers only).
