Arm Zones and DD243
If the option 'Open set zone stops confirmation' is on, this zone can be used to satisfy sections 6.3b
and 6.4.3 of DD243 when connected to a shunt lock. If the option 'Open set zone stops confirmation'
is off, this zone can be used to satisfy section 6.3a of DD243.
Zone Attributes
Each zone can be allocated one of the following attributes. This will determine the zone operation for any of
the system modes of operation.
Chime - During an activation of any zone that has been allocated this attribute, the internal speaker/siren
(Twin Alert) and keypad sounder will emit a chime tone informing the occupant of a presence in that area.
Test - Any zone allocated this attribute will cause a zone activation during armed mode to be stored in the
memory log. However no alarm will be created and no communication report will be sent.
Test activations will be displayed to the user permanently by the word 'TEST' on an LCD RKP and the Alarm
light is illuminated on an LED RKP. This option will be removed from a zone if the zone has not had a valid
activation within 7 days. Each time the zone has a valid activation; the 7-day timer is reset. The 7-day timer
is started on exit from Engineer Mode.
Mask - If this attribute is allocated to a zone the system will not arm until the user walk-tests the zone. E.g.
enter the user code to arm the system, a low tone will be emitted from the keypad sounder (or internal
sounder/siren Twin Alert) and the arming timer countdown will not start until the zone is opened or closed at
least once.
This option can be used for high security installation purposes when particular zones can be exposed to the
public and there is a risk of masking detectors attached to them.
Double Knock - If this attribute is allocated to a zone the system will not acknowledge any activation until the
zone has been triggered twice within 5 minutes or it has been constantly activated for 10 seconds.
Normally Open / Normally Closed - If this attribute is allocated to a zone the system will sense activations
with opposite polarity, this option is useful for set zones where an ordinary bell push may be used.
Customer Map - This option allows you to draw or import up to 8 maps that show the general layout of a
premises. Keypads, proximity readers, detectors and user codes may also be added to the maps to show how
the complete system works as illustrated below:
RINS428-5
It is possible by using this type of zone to arm / disarm the system in any arm mode
by using an external pulsed switch.
