Appendix E: Zone Types
24Hr-X
The 24Hr‐X zone is a future option that is not available in the current firmware.
Gas
Gas zones are always active. In the event of a gas leak, these zones generate a Gas alarm. Gas zones
are typically used with methane/propane/butane or carbon monoxide gas detectors. Gas alarms
sound a distinctive siren pattern to easily distinguish them from other alarms. A gas alarm causes
the siren to sound until the alarm is restored; the siren cut‐off does not apply to gas alarms.
Flood
Flood zones are always active. When triggered, Flood zones generate a Water alarm. These zones
are designed for use with EL‐2661 flood detectors.
Environmental
Environmental zones are always active. When triggered, these zones generate an Environmental
alarm. These zones are designed for applications that monitor environmental conditions such as
temperature or humidity. If the Bell option is enabled for Environmental zones, the system sounds
trouble tones from the keypad. These tones are sounded until the user presses on their keypad.
Environmental alarms are not affected by the expiry of the siren cut‐off.
No Motion
No Motion zones are used to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly people. When the system is
disarmed, and the detector has not been triggered within a pre‐defined period of time (00:00 to
72:00 hours), a No Motion event message is sent to the central station. When the system is armed,
this zone behaves as Normal.
Not Used
This zone type disables the detector output. All alarm transmissions from the detector are ignored.
