1.2: Zones
The Penta control panel includes four security zones plus one tamper zone which can be
defined for use with an ON/OFF keyswitch. The four security zones are fully pro-
grammable and supervised by end of line resistors. The Penta offers five zone response
types for customized programming to suit a wide range of installations. Each zone can be
programmed to activate a siren/bell when tripped or to generate a silent alarm where only
a message is sent to the central station. The following is a summary of the operational
characteristics for each zone response type:
Perimeter Zone
Perimeter zones instantly generate an alarm when opened.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors and windows which
are never used to enter the premises.
Perimeter Zone With Delay
This zone type starts the entry delay when opened, allowing the user time to disarm the
system.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors commonly used to
enter or leave the premises.
Conditional Zone
If a perimeter zone with delay is opened first, conditional zones do not generate an alarm
when opened during the entry delay. If a conditional zone is opened first, an alarm is
generated instantly.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the area in which a keypad has been installed or the
area crossed in order to reach the keypad.
