BRINKS BHS 2000A - System Configuration; Zoning and Alert Zones; Panel Options Overview

The ACP contains 8 different independently programmable zones of protection (detection loops). All
zones are supervised with EOL resistors. If the Non-EOL resistor mode is enabled, no EOL resistors are
required for burglary type zones of protection but only NC contacts can be used. Fire type zones of
protection still require EOL resistors. Fire type zones cannot be programmed on Zone Expander (ZIB-8)
zones 9-16. The status of these zones, including alarm memory, etc., are displayed on static LCD screen.
Each of these 8(16) zones can be programmed into the EEPROM at installation to function as any one of
the following 14 different types of detection circuits.
ZONING
As described in the Users Manual, the BHS-2000A protection zones can be easily zoned in and out of the
security system to provide for maximum versatility and convenience. Any or all of the Zones 1 through 8
can be programmed as Standard Bypass (Motion off) Zones in the EEPROM. These can be zoned in or out
as group (only while the ACP is disarmed) by entering the correct key sequence on the SCS keypad. When
these zones are bypassed, the SCS will indicate "Motion off’. The user can allow bypass 24 hour loops if
they are included in this group; therefor care must be taken to ensure that only the desired zones are
included. The Standard Bypass is typically used for shunting interior protection for at home arming.
The zones programmed as bypass enabled zones can individually be a zone in or out (sometimes referred
to as shunted or bypassed) of the system while the ACP is disarmed. Reference Users manual.
ALERT ZONES
Any of zones 1-8(16) can be programmed as Alert Zones. The Alert Mode can be enabled and disabled
from the SCS. This mode (sometimes referred to as Chime Mode) allows the user to audibly monitor the
status of the zones without Arming the system and thus causing an alarm. During initial installation and
programming, ensure that the loops most applicable to this feature are assigned as alert (chimes) zones.
Chime Zones are most typically used for doors and can be thought of as a Daytime Announcing System.
ALARM PANEL OPTIONS
The Three to four Digit Master Code, The E/E times and Fire/Police Alarm duration’s may all be
programmed into the EEPROM at installation, and may only be changed via installer reprogramming of the
EEPROM. Factory preprogrammed values are provided for all programmable parameters to minimize
installation programming.
Using the Master Code, the user may then program or reprogram up to 6 Secondary Arm/Disarm Codes.
Several additional options including Power up arm, Quick arm, and Silent Burglary are programmable at
installation.
AC power is checked continually and DC power is checked every 15 seconds by the microprocessor
disabling the AC power momentarily.
