Vibration-Sensitivity If the Pulses-Number is 0 or 1,
the zone alarm is triggered with a single pulse with a du
-
ration equal to that of the Vibration-Sensitivity: from 1,
very sensitive, to 20, insensitive.
If the Pulses-Number exceeds 1, the zone alarm is
triggered ALSO when the Pulses-Number set is
counted: the pulses must be at least 250 ms long.
E.g. a zone with the Vibration-Sensitivity of 10 and
Pulses-Number of 5 will generate an alarm when:
Ø
it detects a single pulse that exceeds the Vibra
-
tion-Sensitivity of 10 (the zone will be open for at
least 50 ms);
Ø
it detects 5 pulses at least 250 ms long.
Cycles This option determines the number of times the
Zone will be able to trigger the Zone Alarm event.
Valid entries: 0 through 255:
Ø
If 0 is set up, the Zone will be unable to trigger Zone
Alarm events;
Ø
if any number other than 0 is set up, the Zone will be
able to trigger the corresponding number of Alarm
events;
Ø
if 255 is set up, the Zone will be able to trigger an un
-
limited number of Zone Alarm events.
The Zone Alarm Cycle counter will reset when:
Ø
one of the Partitions of the Zone changes status;
Ø
one of the Partitions of the Zone Resets;
Ø one of the Partitions of the Zone exits Block Alarm
status;
Ø the programming session ends (i.e. when you exit the
Installer Menu or complete downloading via the PC);
Ø the Zone is Unbypassed.
+
A Zone that signals a persistent Alarm condition (e.g.
due to Trouble conditions) will generate one Alarm
cycle ONLY. It will be unable to generate further cy-
cles until the Alarm counter has been cleared.

In order to comply with the EN50131-1 and
EN50131-3 standards, the Hold-up Zone’s Cycles
must be 255.
Pulses-Number Set the number of pulses required
(the number of times the zone is violated) before the
zone generate an alarm. Depending on the zone type it
has different meanings and value ranges.
Ø
For zone with Roller Blind option Enabled it deter
-
mines the number of fast pulses (greater than 600
ms) the zone will allow before signalling the alarm (1
through 7).
Ø
For zone with Vibration option Enabled it deter
-
mines whether the zone alarm is triggered by a pulse
with a length equal to the Vibration-Sensitivity set
(0 or 1) or ALSO when the Pulses-Number set is
counted.
Ø
For all other type of zone it determines the number of
pulses required (pulses greater than 300 ms) before
the zone trigger an alarm (value range 1 through 3).
Pulses-Window Set the time to count the Pulses-Num
-
ber programmed.
Valid values: Disabled, and from 4 to 64 s in steps of 4 s.
Default: 4 seconds.
Alarm if single pulse longer than time window If
this option is disabled (default), the zone goes into
alarm when it counts the programmed Pulses before
the programmed Window expires.
If this option is enabled, the zone goes into alarm even
when it detect a single pulse longer than the pro
-
grammed Window.
Attributes-Bypassable Zones with this attribute can
be Bypassed.
A
In compliance with the EN50131-1 and EN50131-3
standards, a bypassed zone is defined Isolated
Zone, when it is manually bypassed by the user;
Inhibited Zone, when it is automatically bypassed
by the panel (see “Autobypassable” and
“Autobypass with Reset Unbypass”).
Attributes-Chime Violation of a Zone with this attrib
-
ute — during Disarmed status of its Partition — will gen
-
erate the Chime on partition no. event, and an audible
signal (beep) on the assigned Keypads and PROXI
readers. Violation of a Chime Zone — during Armed
status of its Partition — will trigger the Actions pro-
grammed for the Type parameter.
+
The Chime Attribute is ineffective on 24h and Fire
Zones.
Attributes-Test Violation of a Zone with this attribute
WILL NOT generate the Alarm on zone event. However,
the “Alarm - Zone under test” message will be recorded in
the Control Panel log. The Test phase will allow you to
check the functionality of the Zones without triggering
Alarm signals. At default, the Control Panel will record
ONLY the Events that occur during Armed status.
A
In order to comply with the EN50131-1 and
EN50131-3 standards, the tamper continues to work
properly, during the test: information on the keypads,
event logger, outputs and telephone actions.
Attributes-Internal Zones with this attribute will be by
-
passed when their Partitions Arm in Stay mode or Stay
with Zero Delay mode.
Attributes-OR Violation of a Zone with this attribute
can generate the Events according to the assigned
Type, even when only ONE of its Partitions is Armed.
Attributes-Autobypassable The zones with this at
-
tribute will be bypassed automatically if they are violated
during arming of the partition to which they belong. They
will be unbypassed when their Partitions are Disarmed.
+
The Autobypassable attribute is ineffective on
Exit Delay Zones.
