[18] Zone Definitions
Note that all zones will be bypassed while the Installer’s Programming Mode is active. To re-activate the zones,
enter an Access Code.
Enter eight 2-digit numbers to determine how each zone will operate:
First Digit Second Digit
0 = Audible 0 = Standard Delay 4 = 24-hour Bell
1 = Silent 1 = Instant 5 = 24-hour Bell/Buzzer
2 = Chime Audible 2 = Interior 6 = 24-hour Buzzer
3 = Chime Silent 3 = Home Away 7 = Auxiliary Delay
8 = Interior Delay
The First Digit determines whether the zone will cause a silent alarm or an audible alarm. Note that Tamper Alarms are
always audible. Any zone can be assigned the Door Chime feature by programming the first digit as [2] or [3]. For the
Door Chime to be active, the Door Chime feature must be enabled using the [Q][6][Master Code][6] command.
Zone response time is programmed in Section [19] and can be set from 400ms to 2.55s; the default time is 500ms.
The Second Digit determines the zone type, [0] through [8], as described below.
NOTE: To define Zone 7 as a Fire Zone, turn ON Zone Light 1 in Section [26]. When Section [26] Zone Light 1
is ON, the zone definition programmed in Section [18] for Zone 7 will be ignored.
[0] Standard Delay Zone has an entry and exit delay and is normally used for entry/exit doors. The exit delay starts
as soon as the panel is armed. The zone may be opened and closed during the delay time without causing an alarm.
After the exit delay time has expired, opening the zone will start the entry delay timer. During the entry delay time,
the keypad buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed. If the panel is
disarmed before the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
The default times for this type of zone are a 30 second entry delay and a 45 second exit delay. The entry and exit
delays may be independently programmed in Section [19] for periods from 1 to 255 seconds. All zones
programmed as type [0] will have the entry and exit delays as programmed in Section [19] or the default times if
Section [19] is not programmed.
[1] Instant Zone is normally used for door and window contacts and has the standard exit delay but is instant when
opened after the exit delay expires. The exit delay will be the default time of 45 seconds or the time as established
in Programming Section [19].
[2] Interior Zone is normally used with interior motion detectors and has the standard exit delay time. The zone also
has the standard entry delay time provided that a Delay Zone has been activated first. If the premises are entered
without coming through a Delay Zone and an Interior Zone is activated, an immediate alarm will be generated.
[3] Home Away Zone operates the same as the type [2] zone with the following exception. If the system is armed and
a Delay Zone is NOT activated during the Exit Delay, the type [3] zones will be automatically bypassed.
When Section [24] Zone Light 5 is ON, Home Away zones can be assigned both the standard Entry and Exit Delays.
The Entry Delay will be assigned to all Home Away zones when the system is armed and the Home Away zones
are not manually or automatically bypassed. When the Home Away zones are automatically bypassed (for
example, by arming and not leaving the premises or by arming with the [Q][9] command), enter [Q][1] to apply the
Exit Delay to all Home Away Zones before activating.
[4] 24-hour Bell Zone
is active at all times and will create an alarm with the system armed or disarmed. This zone will
always activate the bell/siren output.
[5] 24-hour Bell/Buzzer operates as the type [4] except the bell/siren output is activated only when the panel is armed
and only the keypad buzzer is activated while the panel is disarmed.
[6] 24-hour Buzzer
operates as the type [4] except only the buzzer will be activated in the armed or disarmed mode.
[7] Auxiliary Delay Zone operates the same as the type [0] zone except the entry/exit times can be independently
set in Section [19]. This zone type is useful when a zone with an entry and/or exit time is required that is different
from the standard times as established for type [0] zones in Section [19]. If Section [24] Light 4 is ON, it will allow
the system to be armed even if the auxiliary delay zone is open. Also, the system can be armed with the aux delay
zone closed and then it can be opened before the aux exit delay has expired. In both cases the aux delay zone
will not become active until both the aux exit delay has expired and the zone is closed.
[8] Interior Delay Zone
Interior Delay Zones feature a standard exit delay. If the system is armed and the premises
are vacated, the zone will behave as an Interior Zone. If the system is armed with the [Q][9] command or if the
system is armed and the premises are not vacated, the Interior Delay Zone will be assigned the standard entry
delay.
