Procedure
To switch a detector zone off, proceed as follows:
1. Enable the operating level 2 (password or key).

The zone is now switched off and you can perform the intended work on the
detector zone without an alarm or fault being remotely transmitted.
3. To switch the zone on again, press the desired detector zone key twice.
The yellow zone LED no longer lights up.
The zone is switched on again.
