Description
HOLD-UP ALARM Hold-up This zone type is active on a 24-hour basis and activated via a button.
When a Hold-up zone is activated it will report a Hold-up event,
independent of panel arming mode. The SILENT attribute is set by
default therefore the alarm will be silent. If unset, it will generate a full
alarm. All activations are logged and reported if log attribute is active.
TAMPER Tamper When open in the Unset mode, a Local Alarm is generated but no
external bell will activate. If the system is Full Set, a Full alarm is
generated. If the Security Grade of the system is set to Grade 3 then
an engineer code is required to restore the alarm.
TECHNICAL Intruder The tech zone controls a dedicated tech zone output. When a tech
zone changes state, the tech zone output will follow. That is:
l
When the tech zone opens, tech zone o/p triggers on
l
When the tech zone closes, tech zone o/p goes off
If more than one tech zone has been assigned, the tech zone output
will remain on until all tech zones are closed.
MEDICAL Hold-up This zone type is used in conjunction with radio or hardwired medical
switches.
Activation in any mode will:
l
Trigger the medical digital communicator output (unless Local
attribute is set)
l
Cause the panel buzzer to sound (unless Silent attribute is set)
l
Display the message Medic Alarm
