[14] Zone Definitions for Zones 1 to 8

As in section [5], once this section number is entered, 8 two
digit numbers are required. Each 2 digit number entered
describes how a zone will operate. The 8 two digit numbers
entered correspond to zone definitions for zones 1 to 8.
1st Digit
0 = Slow, audible
1 = Slow, silent
2 = Fast, audible
3 = Fast, silent
The 1st Digit determines whether the zone will cause a
silent alarm or an audible alarm and whether the zone
response will be fast or slow. Slow zone response time can
be programmed in section [20] and can be set from 10 to
990 ms. The factory default zone response time is 500 ms. If
set at fast, the zone response time is 20 ms and, if set at
slow, the zone response time is 500 ms or whatever time is
set in section [20].
The 2nd Digit determines the zone type, [0] through [8] as
described below.
[0] = Standard Delay Zone has an entry and exit delay and
is normally used for entry/exit doors. The exit delay starts as
soon as the panel is armed. The zone may be opened and
closed during the delay time without causing an alarm. After
the exit delay time has expired, opening the zone will start
the entry delay timer. During the entry delay time, the
keypad buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the
2nd Digit
0 =Standard delay
1 =Instant
2 =Interior
3 =Home-Away
4 =24 Hour..bell
5 =24 Hour..bell/buzzer
6 =24 Hour buzzer
7 =Auxiliary delay
8 =Day
system should be disarmed. If the panel is disarmed before
the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
The default times for this type of zone are a 30 second entry
delay and a 120 second exit delay. The entry and exit
delays may be independently programmed in section [20]
for periods from 1 to 255 seconds. All zones programmed
as type [0] will have the entry and exit delays as
programmed in section [20] or the default times if section
[20] is not programmed.
[1] = Instant Zone is normally used for door and window
contacts and has the standard exit delay but is instant when
opened after the exit delay expires. The exit delay will be the
default time of 120 seconds or the time as established in
programming section [20].
[2] = Interior Zone is normally used with interior motion
detectors and has the standard exit delay time. The zone
also has the standard entry delay time provided that a delay
zone has been tripped first. If the premises are entered
without coming through a "delay" entrance, and a type [2]
zone is tripped, an immediate alarm will be generated.
[3] = Home-Away Zone operates the same as the type [2]
zone with the following exception. If the system is armed
and the delay zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay
time, the type [3] zone will be bypassed. Instead of the
interior portion of an interior Home-Away zone, a Home-
Away zone can have a delay equal to the standard entry
delay when section [17], light 5 is on. This will affect all
Home-Away zones when they are not bypassed by [ ][1],
[ ][9] arming, or by arming and not leaving the premises. If
Home-Away zones are automatically bypassed or [ ][9]
arming bypassed and the user then goes [ ][1], the Home-
Aways will then have a delay if the feature is enabled and
will be a type [2] zone if not.
[4] = 24 Hour Bell Zone is active at all times and will create
an alarm if the panel is armed or disarmed. This zone will
always activate the bell/siren output.
[5] = 24 Hour Bell/Buzzer operates as the type [4] except
the bell/siren output is activated only when the panel is
armed and only the keypad buzzer is activated while the
panel is disarmed.
[6] = 24 Hour Buzzer operates as the type [4] except only
the buzzer will be activated in the armed or disarmed mode.
[7] = Auxiliary Delay Zone operates the same as the type
[0] zone except the entry/exit times can be independently
set in section [21]. This zone type is useful when a zone with
an entry and/or exit time is required that is different from the
standard times as established for type [0] zones in section
[20]. If section [17], light 6 is on it will enable the system to
be armed even if the aux delay zone is open ("Ready" light
ON). Also, the system can be armed with the aux delay zone
closed and then it can be opened before the aux exit delay
has expired. In both cases the aux delay zone will not
become active until both the aux exit delay has expired and
the zone is closed. If force arming of type [7] zones is used,
quick exit must not be used.
