AREA INFORMATION
Area Information
This section allows you to assign functions to individual areas for XTL/XTLC panels.
All non-24-hour zones must be assigned to an active area. See the section on Zone
Information.
Activate an area by assigning it a name. A name is given to each active area to assist
the user during arming and disarming.
12.2 Area Number
Enter the number of the area to program. In an area system, select from areas 1
to 6. In an All/Perimeter system, select INTerior or PERIMeter. In a Home/Away
system, select INTerior, BDRM, or PERIMeter.
12.3 Area Name
In an area system, enter up to 16 characters for the area name. Only those areas
given names can have zones assigned to them. All others are marked *UNUSED*.
Refer to the Entering Alpha Characters section.
To add an area name to the system, press any Select key and then enter up to 16
characters for the new name. Press COMMAND to continue.
To mark an active area as unused, delete the old name by pressing any Select key
then press the COMMAND key. The panel automatically sets the name as *UNUSED*.
If you have already Initialized the panel, all areas will be marked as *UNUSED*. See

AUTO ARM NO YES
Automatic Arming
Select YES to allow this area to arm automatically according to the opening and
closing schedule.
If Closing Check is selected as YES, the automatic arming does not take place until
the expiration of a 10-minute Closing Check delay. If the area has been disarmed
outside a schedule, the Closing Check delay occurs one hour after the area is
disarmed.
At arming, faulted zones are handled according to the option selected in Bad
Zones. If a Closing report is sent, the user number is indicated as SCH on the SCS-1R
Receiver. Select NO to disable automatic arming for this area. Default is NO.
Note: For ANSI/SIA CP-01 installations, Automatic Arming cannot be used for
arming.

Bad Zones
At the time of automatic arming, some zones in the area may not be in a normal
condition. This option allows you to program the panel’s response to these bad
zones. This option is not displayed if AUTO ARM is NO.
BYP - All bad zones are bypassed. A report of the bypass is sent to the receiver if
Bypass Reports has been selected as YES. See the Bypass Reports section. The report
indicates SCH as the user number.
FORC - All bad zones are force armed. Zones force armed in a bad condition are
capable of restoring into the system and reporting alarms if tripped. A report of
the force arm is sent if Bypass Reports is YES. See the Bypass Reports section. The
report indicates the user number as SCH.
REF - The automatic arming is refused and no arming takes place. A No Closing
report is sent to the receiver regardless of the Closing Check selection. See the
XTL/XTLC Programming Sheets.
Note: For listed installations, set Bad Zones to REF.
