4.8 Available Zone Types

Delay 1

Commonly assigned to primary points of entry. Follows entry delay 1 and exit delay timers. Arming the alarm system starts the exit delay timer.

After the exit delay has expired, opening the door starts the entry delay timer. During entry delay, the keypad buzzer prompts the user to disarm the

system.

Delay 2

Commonly assigned to secondary points of entry (further from the keypad). Follows entry delay 2 timer.

Instant

Commonly used for perimeter doors and windows, this zone type follows the exit delay. The alarm is triggered instantly if the zone is tripped after the

exit delay expires.

Interior

Commonly assigned to interior motion sensors near a point of entry, such as a foyer or hallway, that must be accessed to reach the keypad. The

alarm is activated if the system is armed and a delay type zone (e.g., front door) is not tripped first, or if the entry/exit timer expires before the alarm is

disarmed. Otherwise, the zone is instant if tripped.

Interior

Similar to Interior zone type except that the system bypasses the zone when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used to activate perimeter zones

Stay/Away

while permitting free movement throughout the interior.

Delay

Similar to delay 1 except that the zone is bypassed when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used with motion detectors that cover an entry point.

Stay/Away

Day Zone

Commonly used in areas where immediate notification of entry is desired. When disarmed, tripping this zone activates the keypad buzzer but does

not log or report the event. When armed, tripping this zone activates the siren then logs and reports the event.

Note: An alarm during exit delay causes the siren to activate and remain on when exit delay expires.

Standard 24-

This zone is used with smoke detectors. The siren sounds instantly when the smoke detector is activated. If enabled, the communicator imme-

diately transmits the alarm to the monitoring station. A tamper or fault of this zone type causes a fire trouble to log and transmit.

Auto Verify

This 24 hour zone type validates an alarm condition by looking for a second alarm transmission or the absence of an alarm restoral condition on wire-

Fire

less smoke detectors. When the zone is activated, a 40-second delay begins. If the zone is still faulted after 40 seconds, the system goes into full

alarm. The bell sounds and the event is logged and communicated. If another fire zone is activated during the auto verify sequence, alarms are imme-

diately generated for all pending zones. This applies to all other fire zone types and to [F] key alarms.

If the zone is no longer in alarm at the end of the 40 second delay, an 80-second verification timer begins.If another fire zone is activated during the

auto verify sequence, both zones go into alarm immediately.

Note: Wireless smoke detectors used with this zone type must have a built in siren to act as a pre-alert to the system alarm.

24-Hour CO

This zone type is used with CO detectors. In the event of an alarm, a distinctive siren cadence is sounded. This is followed by a 5-second pause and

then repeated. After 4 minutes, the 5-second pause is extended to 60 seconds; however, BTO must be programmed with a value of 5 minutes or

higher. The siren is silenced when an access code is entered or the siren times out.

24-Hour Burg-

This zone type is active at all times. It reports an alarm if the alarm system is armed or disarmed. This zone type sounds the siren for the length of Bell
