This is a zone that allows limited-time access to the premises in order to arm or
disarm the system.
This is a zone which, on arming the panel, allows access to the Entry / Exit
zone. However, if the panel is armed and an Access zone is triggered before an
Entry / Exit zone then an alarm will be generated immediately.
This is a zone, which will when activated, create an instant alarm when the
panel is armed.
The medical zone will send an emergency message to the central receiving
station, or emergency services. An alarm will be generated immediately.
The arm zone is used to end the exit time. It is normally connected to a push
button switch mounted external to the premesis.
A zone programmed as an Omitted zone by the Engineer will be ignored by the
panel.
Triggering the fire zone will always cause an alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is armed. A fire alarm is identified by a three note-
ringing sound, which is easily distinguished from all other tones. The external
sounder will operate at 1 second intervals.
Triggering the Personal Attack (P.A) zone will always cause an alarm activation
regardless of whether or not the panel is armed. The P.A. zone may be
programmed as silent. A silent P.A. activation will not cause the bell or strobe to
operate, but the central station will be informed of a P.A. activation.
Triggering a 24H zone will always cause an alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is armed (Fire, Personal Attack and Tamper are all 24
hour zones).
This zone type is for connection to an external box, which when opened will
cause an activation of this zone. Activations of this zone are logged and
reported to the central monitoring station.
This zone type is for connection to an external keypad. During the exit delay an
activation of this zone causes the end of the exit time, a programmable settling
time (Final exit delay) is commenced before the panel fully arms. An activation
of this zone during armed mode causes the entry time to start.
Triggering the Tamper zone will always cause an alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is armed.
It is possible by using this type of zone to arm / disarm the system in any arm
mode by using an external latched switch.
This zone is completely ignored by the system.
It is possible by using this type of zone to arm / disarm the system in any arm
mode by using an external switch.
