DIGIPLEX CONTROL PANEL 17
5.1 ZONE NUMBERING
SECTIONS [001] TO [048]
The Zone Numbering feature allows you to assign any detection
device in the system to any of the 48 zones. This feature tells the
control panel where the device is connected and which of the 48
zones is assigned to that device (see Figure 5-2: Zone
Numbering).
• To assign a bus detector connected to the bus, program the
detector's serial number into the section corresponding to the
desired zone (i.e. program zone 34 in section [034]).
• To assign a detection device connected to a module or control
panel's hardwired input terminal, program the module's or
control panel's serial number and the input number where the
device is connected into the section corresponding to the
desired zone. Refer to the appropriate module's Installation
Guide for details of its input numbers. Note: an input number is
not required for keypad zones.
If PGM1 is defined as a smoke detector input (see
section 11.3), the control panel will recognize it as
input # 255.

5.2 ZONE DEFINITIONS
Select one of the 15 available zone definitions described below
(also refer to Figure 5-1 on page 16).
5.2.1 Zone Disabled
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 0
Disables the corresponding zone. All zones are disabled by
default.
5.2.2 Entry Delays 1 to 4
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 1 TO 4
When an armed zone defined as an Entry Delay opens, the control
panel will not generate an alarm until the programmed Entry Delay
Timer has elapsed. A zone can be defined with one of four Entry
Delays. Each Entry Delay is associated with an Entry Delay Timer.
To program the Entry Delay Timer, key in the desired 3-digit delay
value (000 to 255 seconds) into the corresponding section:
• Entry Delay 1 Timer: [230]
• Entry Delay 2 Timer: [231]
• Entry Delay 3 Timer: [232]
• Entry Delay 4 Timer: [233]
Please note these are the same timers used for Stay Delay zones
(see section 5.2.9). Entry Delay zones are commonly used at the
entry/exit points of the protected area (i.e. front/back door or
garage). Using different Entry Delays is useful when, for example,
one entry point requires a longer delay than the other entry point or
in a partitioned system where each partition may require a different
Entry Delay.
5.2.3 Follow Zones
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 5
If an armed Follow zone opens, the control panel will immediately
generate an alarm. If an armed Entry Delay zone (see section
5.2.2) opens before the Follow zone, the control panel will wait until
the end of the Entry Delay before generating an alarm. If more than
one Entry Delay zone opens before the Follow zone, the control
panel will wait until the end of the first Entry Delay before
generating an alarm.
5.2.4 Instant Zones
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 6
When an armed Instant zone opens, the control panel immediately
generates an alarm. Instant zones are commonly used for
windows, patio doors, skylights and other perimeter type zones.
5.2.5 24Hr Buzzer Zones
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 7
Whenever a 24Hr Buzzer zone opens, whether the zone is armed
or disarmed, the control panel will activate the keypad buzzer to
indicate that the zone was breached. The control panel will report
the alarm, but will not enable the bell/siren output. Enter any valid
access code on the keypad to stop the buzzer.
The keypads must be assigned to the same partition
as the 24Hr Buzzer zone. Otherwise, the buzzer will
not activate.
.
5.2.6 24Hr Burglary Zones
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 8
Whenever a 24Hr Burglary zone opens, whether the system is
armed or disarmed, the control panel will immediately generate an
alarm.
5.2.7 Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone
SECTIONS [101] TO [148]: FIRST DIGIT = 9
The Delayed 24Hr Fire Zone definition described in Figure 5-3 on
page 18 is commonly used in residential homes where a smoke
detector often generates false alarms (i.e. cigarette smoke, burning
bread, etc.). When a zone is programmed as a Fire zone, the zone
becomes normally open and requires an EOL resistor. The zone
will not function as normally closed.
The keypads must be assigned to the same partition
as the Delayed 24Hr Fire zone for the buzzer to
activate.
