Area configuration
Select the Area configuration option to configure confirmation areas. An area is a
group of zones where an alarm event can confirm the initial alarm in a zone.
The maximum number of areas available to configure is the same as the number
of zones for the control panel:
• A one-loop control panel has 64 zones and 64 areas
• A two-loop control panel has 128 zones and 128 areas
• A four-loop control panel has 256 zones and 256 areas
To configure an area:
1. Select Field setup from the Main menu, and then select Zone configuration.
2. Select Area configuration.
3. Select the area number to configure.
A list of available zones is displayed.
4. Select zones to be included in the confirmation area and press the jog dial to
confirm each selection.
YES indicates that a zone is included in the confirmation area, NO indicates
that a zone is not included in the confirmation area.
5. Press F1 (Save), F3 (Apply), F4 (Discard), or F2 (Exit).
Remember to apply saved settings from the Main menu.
Note: When configuring a confirmed zone, remember that remote zones with the
same zone number can activate a control panel alarm without confirmation. To
avoid this type of unwanted alarm, configure the remote zones accordingly.
