Program Descriptions - DSC Power832 Installation Manual

The following section explains all the programmable features including how the feature operates, options that pertain
to the feature and a summary of program locations that require programming.
5.1 Zone Definitions
These sections will allow you to select how each of the 32 zones will operate. Each zone requires a 2
digit entry.
In addition to selecting how each zone will operate, attributes may be programmed by zone
(See Section 5.2 "Zone
[00] Null Zone
The zone will not operate in any way. Zones that are not used should be programmed as Null zones.
[01] Delay 1 Zone
If this zone is violated when the panel is armed it will provide entry delay. The keypad buzzer will sound to
warn the user that the system must be disarmed. If the panel is not disarmed before the entry delay
expires an alarm will be generated. Typically this type of zone will be used for the front door, back door or
any other entry/exit point. Refer to Section [005], "System Times", to program the Delay 1 zone entry delay
time.
[02] Delay 2 Zone
This zone type operates the same as the Delay 1 zone option but can provide a different entry delay.
Typically this zone will be used for a garage door. Refer to Section [005], "System Times", to program the
Delay 2 zone entry delay.
[03] Instant Zone
If this zone type is violated when the panel is armed it will cause an instant alarm. Typically this zone is
used for windows, patio doors or other perimeter type zones.
[04] Interior Zone
If this type of zone is violated when the panel is armed it will provide entry if a delay type zone was
violated first. Otherwise it will cause an instant alarm. Typically this zone is used for interior protection
devices, such as motion detectors.
[05] Interior Stay / Away Zone
This zone type works the same as the Interior zone type with one exception. The zone will be automatically
bypassed under the following conditions:
• the panel is armed in the Stay Mode (See
• the panel is armed without entry delay (See
• the panel is armed and during the exit delay a Delay type zone is NOT tripped
The automatic bypass avoids having the user manually bypass interior type zones when arming at home.
If automatically bypassed, the user can reactivate the zones by entering the [ ][1] command (See
3.4 "[ ] Commands, [ ][1] Zone
as motion detectors. Stay/Away zones should not be programmed as global zones.
[06] Delay Stay / Away Zone
This zone type will operate the same as the Interior Stay / Away zone type except that it will always provide
entry delay. Typically this zone is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors and will
help prevent false alarms since it will always provide the user the entry delay time to turn off the panel.
Stay/Away zones should not be programmed as global zones.
[07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire Zone
If this zone is violated the alarm output will immediately activate but the communicator will be delayed for
30 seconds. If during the 30 second delay the user presses any key on any keypad the alarm output and
communicator will be delayed an additional 90 seconds, providing the user time to correct the problem. If
after the 90 second delay the zone is still violated the process will begin again; the alarm output will be
activated but the communication will be delayed 30 seconds...
If the user does not press a key, after 30 seconds the alarm output will latch and the panel will
communicate. The alarm will sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [005], "System Times"
or can be programmed to sound until a valid code is entered, Section [014], "Second System Option
Code, option [8]" .
If a second Fire type zone is violated or the Fire keys are pressed during the delay time the
panel will latch the alarm output and communicate immediately.
If a delayed Fire zone is violated it will be displayed on all keypads and can be delayed at any keypad.
Typically this zone is used for latching smoke detectors.
