Zones and their function

Before installing and configuring the system you need to know how zones work, because they play an
essential role in the use and operation of the KR-K7 alarm system. You will notice that most settings
use zone information to operate in a specific way by binding one or more zone specific settings to it.
However you should be aware that sensor zones have no relation with remote controls. Zones can
hold one or multiple sensors or remote controls, so you are able to group them if necessary.

4.1 Sensor zones

Zones in the sensors configuration menu can be used to define areas within your protected property
like garage, pantry, attic, kitchen etc., but you can use zones also for other reasons. Zones are
however also of interest if you want to arm/disarm certain protected areas separately because the
host can only arm/disarm 10 zones separately (the first 9 zones and zones 10-99 combined). But if
you want to see alarming information (remotely) for every sensor separately, it is better to put every
sensor in a unique zone, because alarming information is mainly based on zone info. Also if you want
to use for example the 'auto arm/disarm' function, it is good to know that this only functions for zones
1 to 8. So exam all ins and outs first in order to create the ideal configuration for your situation.
Sensor zone attributes
Every zone has one configurable zone attribute which defines the way the sensor(s) in this zone will
operate. When you want to use the Home Arm function, you need the have the sensors programmed
in a zone that has the Home (stay) attribute enabled in order to prevent alarming when being inside
the protected property. Other sensors you may want to give the 'Doorbell' attribute, so they sound an
ding-dong when triggered in Disarmed mode, so you will be notified that someone is entering a room.
See the zone attribute list in section 7.3 for a complete overview.
Sensor zone event codes
Every zone has one configurable zone event code that supplies information on the type or use of the
sensor(s) in it. Especially when using the app and sensors create an alarm they provide only
information about the zone number and the event code. So you probably not only want to know (when
receiving alarm messages or phone calls) which zone is alarming but also the event code. For smoke
detectors you can set a zone that has the 'Fire' event code set, so you are informed that a smoke
detector is alarming.
See the zone event code list in section 7.4 Network event codes
You can create and file your own list of zones in chapter 21.

4.2 Wireless smart socket zones

Zones in the remote control part are used to have the ability to set the sound On or Off. Zones can
hold one or multiple remote controls, so you are able to group them if necessary.
