Zones

Zone is an electrical signal from a security device or a group of devices (PIR
detector, door contact) to the Advisor Advanced system. Each device can be
identified by a zone number or a name. For example, zone 14, Fire Exit Door.
Zone connection is described in Chapter 2 "Installation" > "Zone connection" on
page 23.
For zone configuration, see "Zone configuration" on page 30.
Zone addressing is described in "Zone, output, and door addressing" on page 31.
Zone programming is done via "4.1 Zone menu" on page 171 (in Chapter 5
"Menu reference").

Zone types

The following zone types are available.
1. Alarm
Generates no alarm when the area is unset.
Generates an alarm when the area is set.
Example: Internal door, PIR (motion detector).
2. Entry/Exit 1
Generates no alarm when the area is unset.
When the area is set, the exit timer starts and activating the zone generates no
alarm. If the zone is activated when the exit time has expired, the entry timer
starts. Only when the entry time has expired, an alarm is generated.
Example: Front door.
You need to program the entry/exit time. See "4.2 Areas" on page 185 for more
information.
3. Access
Generates no alarm when the area is unset.
Generates an alarm when the area is set, and the no exit timer or entry timer is
not running.
Example: PIR at entrance with a door contact on the entry door.
You need to program the entry/exit time. See "4.2 Areas" on page 185 for more
information.
