Areas
An 'area' is a group of one or more zones and would normally be used to split the
premises into different sections. Each area can be either 'Full' armed or 'Part' armed.
Example 1: Domestic Premises
The entire house could be area A.
Each area can be 'Part' armed. For instance, detection devices upstairs, i.e. PIR's, could
be programmed so that they will not be monitored during a 'Part' arm, allowing access to
the upstairs of the house at night.
!"
Area A forms the entire alarm system.
Example 2: Domestic Premises
The upstairs of a house could be area A, the downstairs could be area B and the garage
could be area C.
Each area can be 'Full' armed independently from each other (all detection devices in
the area monitored). For instance, downstairs and the garage in example 1 (areas B & C)
could be armed at night allowing access to the upstairs of the house (area A).
!"
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 3: Commercial Premises
Office 1 in an office block could be area A, office 2 could be area B and office 3 could be
area C.
Each area can be armed and disarmed independently from each other. For instance, any
of the offices in example 2 above could be armed and disarmed to allow access without
affecting the other offices.
!"
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 4: Office Block
The foyer of the office block in example 4 would need to be armed when the last office is
armed and disarmed when the first office is disarmed.
Because the foyer is a global area (used by everyone) the zones in that area need to be
assigned to areas A, B and C. This ensures that the zone is only recognised by the
system when ALL areas (A, B & C) are armed, allowing access to the foyer even if one of
the areas is still armed.
Monitoring
This alarm system is capable of reporting Intruder alarms, Panic alarms, Fire alarms and
other types of information over telephone lines to an Alarm Receiving Centre. If you
accidentally set the alarm off, call the Alarm Receiving Centre immediately to prevent an
unnecessary response.
!"
The monitoring function must be enabled before it will work.
