exit timer controls this delay. In Part set A mode, this zone type is
inactive.
This zone type is used in conjunction with a push button on an exit route
and acts as an exit terminator – that is, it provides an infinite exit delay
period and will not allow the system to set until the button is pressed.
Fire zones are 24-hour zones for fire monitoring and their response is
independent of panel operating mode. When any fire zone opens, a full
alarm is generated and the FIRE output type is activated. If the 'Report
only' attribute is set then activation will only be reported to the central
station and a Full Alarm will not be generated.
This is a special type of 24-hour zone for use with fire exit doors that
should never be opened. In Unset mode, an activation of this zone will
trip the Fire-X output, causing alert messages.
Telemetry line monitoring input. This is usually used in conjunction with a
telephone line health output from an external digital dialer or direct line
communication system. When activated, it produces a local alarm in
Unset mode and a full alarm in all other modes.
This zone type is active on a 24-hour basis and activated via a panic
button. When a Panic zone is activated it will report a Panic event,
independent of panel arming mode. All activation's are logged and
reported if log attribute is active. If the SILENT attribute is set then the
alarm will be silent (Activation is reported to ARC), otherwise it will
generate a Full alarm.
This zone type is active on a 24-hour basis and activated via a button.
When a Hold-up zone is activated it will report a Hold-up event,
independent of panel arming mode. The SILENT attribute is set by
default therefore the alarm will be silent. If unset, it will generate a full
alarm. All activations are logged and reported if log attribute is active.
When open in the Unset mode, a Local Alarm is generated but no
external bell will activate. If the system is Full Set, a Full alarm is
generated. If the Security Grade of the system is set to Grade 3 then an
engineer code is required to restore the alarm.
The tech zone controls a dedicated tech zone output. When a tech zone
changes state, the tech zone output will follow. That is:
When the tech zone opens, tech zone o/p triggers on

When the tech zone closes, tech zone o/p goes off

If more than one tech zone has been assigned, the tech zone output will
remain on until all tech zones are closed.
This zone type is used in conjunction with radio or hardwired medical
switches.
Activation in any mode will:
Trigger the medical digital communicator output (unless Local

attribute is set)
Cause the panel buzzer to sound (unless Silent attribute is set)

Display the message Medic Alarm

This zone type is normally used in conjunction with a key lock
mechanism. A Keyarm zone will SET the System / Area / Common
Areas when it is OPENED and will UNSET the System/Area/Common
Areas when it is CLOSED.
If the zone with the keyarm zone type is assigned in an non area

system then the keyarm operation will SET/UNSET the system.
If the zone with the keyarm zone type is assigned to an area then

the keyarm operation will SET/UNSET the area.
If the zone with the keyarm zone type is assigned to a common area

then the keyarm operation will SET/UNSET all the areas in the
common area.
If the 'Open only' attribute is set then the armed status of the System

/ Area / Common Areas will toggle on each opening of the key lock. (
