4.4 Isolate menu
The isolate menu groups together all functions relating to isolating devices and zones, and
isolating outputs. Each device can have one of three isolation states:
• De-Isolated
• Isolated
• Isolated by day (only in Day/Night mode)
De-isolated is the normal state for the device in which the panel responds to any events that it
generated. When isolated a device is ignored by the panel. This is useful during maintenance or
repair for narrowing down the possible causes of a fault, or disabling sensitive functions while
testing.
If the panel is in Day/Night mode then devices can be isolated by day. When isolated by day a
device will operate normally during night time panel operation and will be isolated during day
time operation. This allows systems to be isolated during the day when a site is occupied bur
operate when it is empty.
Outputs can only be set to isolated or de-isolated states, not to isolate by day. The isolation
functions available from the isolate menu can be summarised as follows:
