  • Page 8: Document Conventions

    Document Conventions Document Conventions Circuits and Zones The term circuits refers to an actual electrical interface, initiating (detection), indicating (signal), or relay. The term zone is a logical concept for a fire alarm protected area, and will consist of at least one circuit. Often the terms zone and circuit are used interchangeably, but in this manual the term circuit is used.
