Zone Information 173
Chime Zone
14
A Chime zone is not a burglary zone. It can never sound the sirens or trigger the dialler. Its purpose
is to map it to a programmable output for an indication of sealed or unsealed state. Refer to Output
Event Type - Global Chime on page 208.
Chime zones require EOL resistors and they will register at a remote codepad. These zones do not
effect the operation of forced arming.
Zone Not Used
15
If a zone is not used, program it as a zone type of 15. This zone will never sound the sirens or trigger
the dialler. An EOL resistor is not required if this zone type is used.
Zone Pulse Count
Zone pulse count is the number of times a zone must be triggered before the zone registers as an
alarm. The number of pulses vary between 0 – 15. The zone pulse count value is relative to the time
frame (i.e.. The number of pulses must be present during a particular time frame. Refer to “Table 81:
Zone Pulse Count Times” on page 174 for time frame settings.

Table 80: Number Of Pulses
Zones that have been programmed with pulse count which are continuously unsealed for 10
seconds will activate an alarm condition. 24 Hour Fire zones that have been programmed with
pulse count which are continuously unsealed for 30 seconds will activate an alarm condition.
Zone Pulse Count Handover
Zone pulse count handover will only operate with zone pulse count time options 8 – 15. Refer to
Zone Pulse Count Time on page 174 for more information.
Any zone that registers one trigger pulse will automatically increment any other zone pulse count that
has already registered at least one trigger pulse during its respective time. To enable this option, refer
to Option 4 in “LOCATION 438" on page 229.
24-Hour zones do not receive any handover pulses from other zones. 24-Hour zones may
handover pulses to other zones.
