Visonic PowerMaster-10 Installer's Manual page 25

Zone types are fully explained below:
Arming Key:
An Arming key is a zone that can be used for arming and disarming the system by a wired PowerG detector or by a
magnetic contact PowerG device that is enrolled to a zone. In addition, the alarm system may be armed /
disarmed by a keyswitch when connected to wired zones
Delay Zones:
A delay zone has exit and entry delays set by you in the course of programming the system. Warning beeps will
sound throughout these delays, unless you choose to mute them.
• Exit Delay - The exit delay begins once the user arms the system. It allows him to leave via interior zones and a
doorway before arming actually takes effect. When the exit delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly and maintains a
slow beeping rate until the last 10 seconds, during which it beeps rapidly. The PowerMaster-10 has two types of
delay zones, for which different delay times may be set.
• Entry Delay - The entry delay begins once the user enters the protected area via a specific doorway (his
entry is sensed by a delay zone detector). To avoid an alarm, he must reach the keypad via interior zones
(which become "follower zones" during the entry delay) and disarm the system before the delay expires.
When the entry delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly until the last 10 seconds, during which it beeps rapidly.
Remember!
A delay zone is also a perimeter zone by definition.
Emergency Zones:
You can provide incapacitated, sick or elderly people with a miniature single-button transmitter to be carried on
the neck like a pendant or to be worn on the wrist like a watch. In distress situations, they can press the button
on their transmitter, causing the PowerMaster-10 to send an emergency call to the Monitoring Station or to
private telephones designated by the installer.
To make this possible, define the required number of zones as emergency zones and enroll a portable
transmitter to each one of these zones. When completed, ask the master user to distribute these transmitters to
their potential users.
Interior Zone:
Interior zones are zones within the protected premises that have nothing to do with perimeter protection. Their
most important feature is that they allow free movement within the protected area without initiating an alarm,
provided that the system is armed in the "HOME" mode. People can therefore stay at home and move about
freely, as long as they do not disturb a PERIMETER zone.
Once the system is armed in the AWAY mode (all zones are protected), interior zones will initiate an alarm if violated.
Interior Follower Zones:
"Interior Follower" zone is a zone that is located between entry/exit zone and the alarm system control panel.
This zone is temporarily ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit delay periods, to enable you to walk
(without causing an alarm) in front of a motion detector that is associated with the Interior Follower zone, after
you enter through an entry zone on the way to the control panel, or when leaving the protected premises after
system arming.
Home/Delay Zones:
A zone type which functions as a delay zone when the system is armed HOME and as a perimeter-follower zone
when the system is armed AWAY.
Non-Alarm Zones:
A non-alarm zone does not directly participate in the alarm system. It can be used for chime or for optional KEY
ON-OFF feature (when enabled).
You can define the desired number of non-alarm zones and enroll a portable transmitter or a wireless device
(detector) to this type of zone.
Perimeter Zones:
Perimeter zones rely on detectors designed to protect doors, windows and walls. An immediate alarm is initiated
when such a zone is violated by opening the door/window or by trying to break the wall.
Perimeter Follower Zones:
A non-entry/exit zone, typically a perimeter zone located on an entry/exit path, that is treated as an entry/exit
zone during an entry/exit time.
24-Hour Zones:
24 hour zones are mainly used for PANIC buttons, perimeter detectors and anti-tamper protection. They therefore
trigger an alarm in both armed and disarmed states.
