Signal The signal strength received from the sensor (01=low, 09=high).
Status The physical status of the sensor.
Battery The status of the battery connected to the sensor (OK, Fault).
15.6.4 Zones
For configuration, see Editing a zone on page185.
1. To view all zones, select Status > Inputs > All Zones. To view X-Bus only zones, select the
X-Bus Zones tab or to view wireless zones only, select the Wireless Zones tab.
The following table shows the information that is available.
Zone Text description of the zone (max. 16 characters).
Area Areas to which this zone is assigned.
Zone
Type
The type of zone (Alarm, Entry/Exit, Tech, etc.).
EOL
Quality
Displays the EOL quality for the zone state resistance range. Possible values are:
l
Good — Nominal value +/-25% of the defined range.
l
OK — Nominal value +/- 50% of the defined range.
l
Poor — Nominal value +/- 75% of the defined range.
l
Unsatisfactory — any other value.
l
Noisy — indicates a problem detecting the signal. The cabling may be in close proximity to a
mains cable or other source of interference.
This column is only visible in Engineer mode.
For more information on nominal resistance values and their defined ranges, see Wiring the zone
inputs on page45.
Input The detected input state of that zone (Unknown, Open, Closed, Disconnect, Short, Pulse, Gross,
Masked, Fault, Out of bounds, Unstable, DC Sub, Noisy).
DC Sub is an input tamper alert. DC substitution performs a periodic check to ensure that no
external voltages are being applied to that circuit.
Unstable: An unstable state occurs when the zone input resistance value is not stable over a
defined sampling period.
Noisy: A Noisy state occurs when an external interference is induced onto the input circuit over a
defined sampling period.
Out Of Bounds: An Out of Bounds state will occur when the resistance value on the zone input
does not come within accepted tolerances of the present EOL values.
Status The programmed status of that zone. A status value of Normal means that the zone is
programmed to operate normally. The following is a complete list of possible values:
Isolate, Soak, Inhibit, Tamper, Alarm, Fire Exit, Warning Fault, Holdup Fault, Detector Fault, Line
Fault, Panic, Hold Up, Tech, Medic, Lock, Fire, Trouble, PIR Masked, Normal, Actuated, Tamper,
Post Alarm. A zone is in the post alarm status if an alarm occurred and the confirmed alarm timed
out. This reinstates the zone, however it also flags that an alarm did occur.
