9. Explanation of terms

Before starting to program the alarm centre, you should become familiar with the terms used.
The following is an explanation of the possible zone types and their allocated attributes:
ZONE
A zone is a detector that has been trained for the wireless alarm centre.
Zones can have very different attributes. The detector does not know if the wireless
alarm centre is active or not. A detector therefore always sends an alarm to the
centre if a change is registered. The wireless alarm centre then evaluates whether
this message triggers an alarm response or not.
NOT USED
Zones where no wireless detector has been trained or where no detector has been
wired to the input (not used) should be programmed as a "Not Used" zone type. The
alarm system does not react when an event triggers this detector.
NORMAL ALARM
If the alarm centre is active, this zone immediately triggers an alarm if a wireless
detector sends a change to the wireless alarm centre or if the state of the alarm zone
changes (e.g. opening the alarm contact).
ENTRY ROUTE
This zone does not trigger an alarm if an entry/exit zone has previously activated the
entry delay time. An immediate alarm is triggered if no entry delay was previously
activated. This zone type can be used for a motion sensor in the entrance hall
pointing to the entry door (fitted with an opening detector). This detector can be used
as an entry/exit detector for internal activation. This zone can be opened when you
exit the programming menu.
FINAL EXIT
If the burglar alarm centre is active, this zone triggers an alarm following a specified
delay time (entry delay). This zone type can be used for an opening detector on the
entrance. When you leave the premises, closing this zone can also be used for
ending the exit delay. This detector can be used as a NORMAL ALARM detector for
internal activation.
24 HOUR
This zone always triggers an immediate alarm. If the wireless alarm centre is
deactivated, the alarm is first heard via the integrated buzzer in the alarm centre.
When activated, the siren output is also activated. If a 24-hour zone is locked, this
applies to the deactivated state only.
FIRE
This zone always triggers an alarm, irrespective of whether the burglar alarm centre
is activated or deactivated. The alarm is made over the signaller in the wireless alarm
centre and the external siren as a pulsed fire alarm tone. Only train fire alarms for
this zone.
PANIC
This zone always triggers an alarm, irrespective of whether the burglar alarm centre
is activated or deactivated. A panic alarm can also be transmitted silently (e.g. via an
optional dialler). The programming menu can only be exited when this zone is
closed.
TECHNICAL
When deactivated, a technical zone triggers an alarm via the control panel and
optional dialler. When activated, no alarm is triggered. If an alarm occurs in this zone
when activated, then this is displayed when the alarm centre is deactivated. This
zone type can be used for water detectors.
KEY SW MOMENT
Train a key switch (pulse) to the wireless alarm centre. Any change to this zone
changes the state of the alarm centre from active to inactive or vice versa (following
the delay time).
KEY SW LATCHED
A key switch (permanent) can be connected to the burglar alarm centre. Any change
to this zone changes the state of the alarm centre from active to inactive or vice
versa (following the delay time). Please note that you can only operate the alarm
centre via the key switch. If the status is unclear (e.g. key switch closed and
deactivated on the control panel), then the alarm centre may return to active state.
