Disabling and enabling zone groups

Disabling a zone group prevents the VM-1 control panel from processing status
change signals from every device in the zone group until the zone group is
enabled. For example, the VM-1 control panel does not generate an alarm active
event when you activate a detector in a disabled zone group, but will do so after
the zone group is enabled.
The VM-1 control panel keeps track of how many times you disable and enable a
zone group. You must enable a zone group the same number of times you
disable it in order to return the zone group to its initial condition.
Notes
• The control panel tracks events from a disabled zone group but does not
process them until the zone group is enabled.
• If you disabled the zone group by disabling all of the devices in the zone
group, enabling the zone group enables all of the devices in the zone group.
To disable a zone group:
1. From the Main Menu, choose Disable.
2. Choose Group, and then choose Zone Group.
3. Scroll through the list and choose the desired zone group.
4. Enter the access level password.
