Programming Zone Types
The Zone Type of a zone determines how the system will behave
when the zone is opened.
Description of Zone Types
The Control Panel supports eight different Zone Types. Each zone
may be programmed with one of these Zone Types which are
described as follows:
Push To Set
Push to Set is intended to reduce false alarms due to user error
when full setting the system. The user starts full set in the usual way
and leaves the premises. However the system will ONLY set when
an external push button is pressed. The Zone Type of the zone to
which the external push button is connected must be programmed
as Push to Set.
The Push to Set option must also be selected (see page
21).
If a normally open (N/O) push button is used then the zone
should be inverted (see page 31) so that it chimes when the
button is pressed rather than when it is released.
If the zone is set to chime (see User Guide) then the push
button can double up as a doorbell.
The external push button should be waterproof unless it is
located in an enclosed porch.
Push to Set does not operate in part set.
Push to Set satisfies the requirements of NACP 14, Issue 1,
Section 2.1.2.
Inhibited Entry
Inhibited Entry is sometimes referred to as 'Intermediate Entry' or
'Walk Through'. Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the panel
is set will cause an alarm. During entry mode, activations of a zone
with this Zone Type are disregarded. This Zone Type would typically
be used for a hall PIR when there is a magnetic contact on the front
door.
Guard
Guard zones are sometimes referred to as 'Intruder' zones. Opening
a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will cause an
alarm. When the control panel is unset, Guard zones are ignored. In
a typical system most zones would have this Zone Type.
Fire
This Zone Type is designed specifically for smoke detectors.
Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when
the panel is unset. If activated they will cause a unique alarm with
a distinctive 'Fire' tone on the internal speaker. In addition, the
external sounder will be pulsed rather than sounding continuously
in contrast to a normal alarm.
INS045-14
Tamper
-
Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when
the panel is unset. If activated they will cause an immediate alarm.
The Global System Tamper zone is factory-set to this Zone Type.
Entry/Exit
Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will
cause the control panel to start entry mode. This Zone Type would
typically be used for a front door magnetic contact or, if one is not
fitted, a hall PIR.
Personal Attack
This Zone Type is designed specifically for panic buttons. Zones
with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when the panel
is unset. If activated, they will cause an immediate alarm, sounding
both the internal and external sounders.
Keyswitch
This Zone Type is designed specifically for key switches. Zones
with this Zone Type are monitored constantly. The key switch can
be used to full set, unset, silence an alarm and reset the system.
Programming the Control Panel
Programming options allow the Tamper alarm response to
be limited to the internal sounder if the system is unset or
part set (see page 20).
The Final Door Set option (see page 20) will cause the exit
time to be reduced to 3 seconds when an Entry/Exit zone is
closed during exit mode. This option would typically be
used only when there is a magnetic contact on the front
door.
The Silent PA option (see page 34) will modify this Zone
Type to have a silent response (just activation of the PA
channel on the communicator interface with no local
audible or visible alarm response at all).
Ensure that there are no 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and
Tamper) in fault when using a key switch to reset the
system.
A Keyswitch zone can be programmed to operate in one of
two ways (see page 22).
Changing the state of the zone i.e. closed to open or open
to closed will cause the system to set and changing the
state of the zone again i.e. closed to open or open to closed
will cause the system to unset.
Activating the zone i.e. closed to open will cause the system
to set and clearing the zone again i.e. open to closed will
cause the system to unset.
PA codes, Duress codes and Keypad PA are entered from a
keypad and therefore cannot be reset by a key switch but
only by entry of a valid User code.
