SYSTEM SENSOR TYPES (ZONES)
Each sensor (wireless or wired) installed in the system is
programmed to a specific sensor number and sensor type
(zone).
The sensor number identifies the specific sensor when it
is displayed on the Control Panel, recorded in the event
log, or reported to the Central Station. This allows pin‐
point information about any sensor in the system.
The sensor type determines how and when the Control
Panel responds to signals from the sensor. Some sensors
are armed all the time, others are armed only in certain
arming levels, some cause Central Station Reports
anytime they are activated. The sensor's type, along with
other programming options, determine this.
Sensor Types (Zones)
(00) Unused
This is the setting for unused sensor numbers that do not
have a sensor programmed into them. No system action
occurs at any time from this sensor type.
(01) Exit/Entry 1
This sensor type is reserved for doors that are used for
exit and entry of the protected premises. When the
system is armed in the Away Mode or Stay Mode, the Exit
Delay timer starts. There is an Exit Delay regardless of
whether the system is armed in Stay Mode or Away
Mode. When the Exit Delay timer expires, the system is
fully armed.
With the system fully armed, when this type of sensor is
triggered, the Entry Delay #1 timer starts. The system
must be disarmed before the Entry Delay #1 time expires,
or an alarm will occur.
If the Entry Delay is turned off during arming, the exit/
entry delay sensors will act as non‐delayed instant
sensors at the end of Exit Delay.
(02) Exit/Entry 2
This sensor type operates the same as the Exit/Entry 1
sensor type except it will start the Entry Delay #2 timer.
This provides a method of having a longer Entry Delay on
certain openings, such as a garage door, to provide the
user more time to disarm the system.
(03) Perimeter
This sensor type is for perimeter doors and windows that
will not be used to enter or exit the protected premises
while the system is armed. An instant alarm will occur
when this type of sensor is triggered with the system
armed in either the Stay Mode or Away Mode.
(04) Interior Follower
This sensor type is for interior sensors such as motion
detector, interior doors, and other sensors that detect
human presence inside the protected premises. This type
of sensor is called a "follower" due to its action when the
system is armed in the Away Mode. After the Exit Delay
expires and the system is armed, if an interior follower
sensor is triggered, an instant alarm will occur. If an exit/
entry delay sensor is triggered first, the interior follower
sensor will also be delayed.
Interior follower sensors are always bypassed and not
active when the system is armed in Stay Mode. This
allows the premises to be occupied while still protecting
the perimeter.
(05) Day Zone
This sensor type is the same as a perimeter zone, except
when the system is disarmed, a violation displays a
trouble alert on the Console's display. Common uses for
this sensor type are protection of sensitive areas that
require notification and possibly a Central Station trouble
report, but not an alarm when the system is disarmed.
(06) 24-hour Silent Alarm
This sensor type is active independent of the system
arming status. The code for silent panic is sent to the
Central Station, but for safety, there are no visual or
audible indications locally that this sensor type has been
triggered.
(07) 24-hour Audible Alarm
This sensor type is continuously armed 24‐hours a day. A
sensor programmed to this type will trigger a local alarm
and the bell output regardless of the mode the system is
in. Typical use would be an audible panic alarm.
(08) 24-hour Auxiliary Alarm
This sensor type is continuously armed 24‐hours a day. A
sensor programmed to this type will trigger an alarm
regardless of the mode the system is in. The bell output
will not activate, but the local sounder will continue until
it's acknowledged at the Control Panel. Typical use would
be for a monitoring device such as a flood or temperature
sensor. There is no time out for the internal sounder, it
will continue until a User Code is entered.
(09) 24-hour Fire †
This sensor type is continuously armed 24‐hours a day. A
sensor programmed to this type will trigger the local
alarm fire sounder and the bell output regardless of the
mode the system is in.Typical use would be for wireless
smoke detectors. This sensor type is always active and
cannot be bypassed.
(10) Interior with Delay
This sensor type operates as a delayed sensor when the
system is armed in the Away Mode, and when triggered,
will start the Entry Delay #1 timer. If the system is armed
in Away Mode with no Entry Delay (armed instant), this
sensor type will trigger an instant alarm.
If the system is armed in Stay Mode (or Stay Mode with
no Entry Delay), this sensor type will be bypassed.
(14) 24-hour Carbon Monoxide †
This sensor type is continuously armed 24‐hours a day. A
sensor programmed to this type will trigger the local
alarm pulse sounder and the bell output regardless of the
