Set And Unset - Interlogix ATSx500A Series Installation And Programming Manual

Set and unset

Each area can have one of the following statuses:
• Set (armed): The condition of an area where a change in the status of any
zone (from normal to active) causes an alarm. An area or premise is only set
when it is unoccupied. Some zones (like vaults) can remain armed
continually.
• Unset (disarmed): The condition of an area when it is occupied and normal
activity does not set off an alarm.
• Part set: The condition of part of an area where a change in the status of
certain zones (from normal to active) causes an alarm. An area or premise is
part set when it is partially unoccupied like the outside of a home is part set
but the inside is still unset.
See also "Areas" on page 50.
Areas can be set or unset in one of the following ways:
• By users via a keypad or a reader. See "Users" on page 60 and "Bus devices"
on page 58. The available key sequences are listed in "Keys" on page 54.
• By users via SMS command. See Advisor Advanced SMS Control Reference
Manual for details.
• By operators remotely via management software. See Chapter 6 "Software"
on page 287.
• Automatically via the autoset functionality. See "Autoset" on page 91 for
details.
How to use part set
When users performs a part set, the system sets all requested areas with all full
set (perimeter) zones supervised but all part set (interior) zones ignored. As this
setting mode is for personal safety, reporting to the central station depends on
option "8.4.3.1 Report BA" (see page 244). Further, any alarms that occur while
part set is applied, are treated as local alarms that activate sirens, keypad
buzzers (if enabled), and keypad indicators.
If a zone is assigned multiple areas it is not set until all assigned areas are set. If
there is a mixture of part set and full set areas assigned to the zone, the zone
obeys the part set condition.
