Alarm Zone; Arm/Disarm - DigiTech DigiGate-700 User Manual

Figure 3-151
This section deals with sites that have individual Door Alarms and/or security beams protecting their property.
Some explanation of terms and concepts is needed here. The following section will describe setting Alarm
Zones (activating and deactivating). It will also describe activating and deactivating alarms for individual
units or groups of units.
An Alarm Zone is similar to a Time Zone or a Keypad Zone, in that it is the defining control for when and
how alarms are generated, what signaling device is used and for how long, and what happens when the alarm
is over. In short, it tells the DigiGate-700 for Windows system what to do when an alarm condition exists,
for how long to do it, and what to do afterwards.
Each individual device, a door alarm, a perimeter beam, etc. must be assigned an Alarm Zone. Before an
individual device can cause an alarm, its Alarm Zone must be activated. Therefore, an individual door or
beam may be activated, but it will not cause an alarm unless its Alarm Zone is activated. Deactivating a
Zone WILL deactivate all individual units or devices assigned to it, but activating a Zone will NOT
necessarily activate all units or devices assigned to it.
