Only valid zone numbers are displayed as you scroll. For example, if you are programming an
M1000 panel, the next number displayed after 0008 (panel zone 8) is 1011 (network 1, device
01, zone 1).
For network devices, the network, device and zone numbers are repeated in the top-left
corner of the display. The format is similar, except that the zone number is a letter rather than a
digit.
Step 2 – Select Zone Type
The zone type defines how the panel will respond when the zone is triggered. The following
zone types are available:
By default, a zone is "triggered" by opening the zone contacts. If the zone's Inverted
attribute is set to
YES
(page 32), the zone triggers when the zone contacts close.
Copying zone details
: Pressing B at step 2 copies all properties of the previously
programmed zone.
0 – Not Used
This zone never generates any alarm. It can, however, be used to operate an output
programmed to mimic the zone status; see page 55.
1 – Normal Alm
The Normal Alm zone generates an alarm (see below) when the system is set. By default,
a full alarm is generated, unless overridden by option 1-8-4 (page 72).
2 – 24 Hour
This zone is monitored at all times. When triggered in the unset condition, an internal
alarm is generated. When triggered in the set condition, a full alarm is generated, unless
overridden by option 1-8-4 (page 72).
Full, Local and Internal Alarms
A full alarm causes keypad sounders, the extension loudspeaker,
external sounders, strobe and communications to operate.
A local alarm causes keypad sounders, the extension loudspeaker,
external sounders and strobe to operate.
An
internal alarm
causes only keypad sounders and the extension
loudspeaker to operate.
Note:
Only keypads and extension loudspeakers assigned to the
ward that is in alarm will sound. The extension loudspeaker is
assigned to wards using the Panel Speaker attribute (page 37).
Keypads are assigned to wards using option 1-3-1 (page 35).
The external sounder and strobe can be disabled using the Bell &
Strobe ward attribute (page 38).
The alarm response can be overridden when a ward group is set by
using option 1-8-4 (page 72).
