2. ZONE LIST (ZL) is a group of zones to which the “EVENT”
applies in order to activate a particular relay. Note that there
are a total of 3 zone lists that can be programmed in field
81 mode; when the selected EVENT (Alarm, Fault or
Trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected “Start” ZONE
LIST (1, 2, or 3), activation of the selected relay will START.
B) 1. ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). If a System
Operation, such as “DISARMING” or “ANY FIRE ALARM,” is
to activate the relay, the appropriate choice would also be
entered under the “ZONE TYPE” option. “ZONE TYPE” is
used independently of the “EVENT/ZONE LIST”
combination.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that re-
sponse type going into alarm, trouble, or fault will cause the
relay to activate as selected in "ACTION.” If the same “ZONE
TYPE” is also chosen for the STOP programming, any zone
of that type that
restores
will de-activate the relay.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen (e.g., End of Exit
Time), that operation will cause the relay to activate as
selected in "ACTION.” The different choices for "ZONE
TYPE" and "SYSTEM OPERATION" are listed in
“Programming Output Relays” later in this section, and in the
Programming Form in the separate Programming Guide.
STOP (STP):
The "STOP" programming determines when and under what
conditions the relay will be de-activated. The following options
are available:
A) 1. RESTORE ZONE LIST (ZL). If a "ZONE LIST" is used as
the “Stop” event, the relay will de-activate when all the
zones in that list restore from a previous fault, trouble, or
alarm condition. This will occur regardless of what is
programmed to "START" the relay; therefore, a "RESTORE
ZONE LIST" would normally only be used when a "ZONE
LIST" is used to start the relay.
B) 1. ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION (ZT). Instead of using
a "RESTORE ZONE LIST", a specific zone (response) type
or system operation action can be selected to de-activate
the relay.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that
response type that restores from a previous alarm, trouble,
or fault condition will cause the relay to de-activate.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will
cause the relay to de-activate.
If relay outputs are used, two keypad entries available to the
user are included among the “System Operation” choices
that may be programmed (34 and 35). They can manually
activate or de-activate the relay(s) for starting or stopping
some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc.
These entries are: Security Code + [#] + [7]
and Security Code + [#] + [8]
Note:
Whichever entry is used to start/stop the action
cannot also be used to stop/start it. The opposite action must
either be performed by the other keypad entry or by some
other event or operation offered in the programming section.
If a relay is energized before a 4-wire smoke detector is
reset, the relay will be stopped by the interruption of Aux.
Power that resets the smoke detector. If this is not desired,
the power to the relay unit should be supplied from another
12V power source (e.g., the same source that is powering ex-
ternal equipment through the relay contacts).
