Except when in Walk Test mode (User option 1-1-2), all programmed zone types are
active and can be communicated to an ARC, even while an engineer is logged in. If the
system is connected to an ARC and work carried out the system could cause alarms to
trigger, it is recommended that you contact the ARC before work begins to avoid any
unnecessary call-outs.
You must program each zone using Engineer option 1-1 in order for the system to function
correctly. The number of available zones depends on the panel type and expansion devices
you are using (see page 6).
Use the following steps and the flowchart on the previous page to program a zone.
Advanced zone programming options are available in option

Step 1 – Select Zone
The 4-digit number shown in the bottom-left corner of the display indicates the zone to be
programmed.
For all zones except those using iD Plus biscuits (on an M800iD Plus):
The first digit is the network number. This is the network number of the device that the zone
is connected to (0 for zones connected to the control panel PCB). The number of
available networks depends on the type of control unit; see pages 8 to

not defined.
.
The next two digits specify the device address that the zone is connected to (00 for zones
connected to the control panel PCB). For devices such as keypads, the device address is
determined by a link or switch on the device PCB.
The final digit specifies the zone number on the selected device.
Example: 2031 is (reading right to left): zone 1 of device address 03 connected to network 2.
If MIDNodes/IDNodes are used:
For the first MIDNode/IDNode on the network, biscuits 1-8 have device address 01,
biscuits 9-16 have device address 02, biscuits 17-24 have device address 03 and
biscuits 25-30 have device address 04. For the next MIDNode/IDNode on the
network, biscuits 1-8 have address 05, biscuits 9-16 have device address 06, and
so on. Please refer to the MIDNode/IDNode Installation Instructions for further
information.
You can obtain the zone number from the biscuit number by subtracting the
appropriate value shown here:
Biscuit Number Subtract (to obtain Zone Number)
1-8 0
9-16 8
17-24 16
25-30 24
For zones using iD Plus biscuits (on an M800iD Plus):
The first digit is always "2" (represents an imaginary network number of 2).
The next three digits specify the zone number.
