Windsor 500 User Manual - Issue C
Areas, Circuits and Groups
For protection purposes a premises may be divided into up to seven areas. Individual areas may be
referred to as ’Area 1,2, etc.’, while all areas together are referred to as the ’System’. Alternatively, text
descriptors may be programmed for individual Areas. Each area can operate completely independently if
required since they are provided with separate area logs, and have provision for separate sounders, reset
and test options. Your alarm company engineer will have configured your system for the appropriate
number of areas and to comply with your specific security requirements.
Common Area
Where more than one area is incorporated in the system, one area can be configured by the installation
engineer as a 'Common Area'. A ‘Common Area' will automatically set if all other areas of the system are
set and will automatically unset if any one of the other areas is unset.
Circuits
A maximum of 128 alarm circuits can be monitored by the Windsor 500 System. Each circuit is allocated a
unique circuit number which is used to identify the particular circuit. Your installation engineer will have
programmed each circuit to respond in a certain way when the circuit is activated, when the area is set and
unset. The way in which the circuit is programmed to respond will depend on the type of circuit and its
location and purpose.
Bypass Circuits and Groups
An authorised user can bypass certain circuits or groups of circuits programmed as ‘By-passable’.
User, Area, Group and Circuit Identification
Each user area, bypass group and circuit can be programmed with a text description, which will appear on
the Keypad display, whenever the area or circuit is selected. Text descriptors are also used in log print-outs.
The description of an area or circuit can be changed by an authorised user as necessary.
Authority Levels
Keypad and Keypoint Authority
Individual Keypads or Keypoints will have been programmed by the installation engineer to permit (or
prohibit) setting and unsetting of a particular area or areas (or the complete system). The example below
shows how these can be programmed for different functions.
Keypad 1
System Keypad permitting setting and unsetting of the complete system or individual areas.
Keypad 2
Area 1 Keypad permitting setting and unsetting of Area 1 only.
Keypad 3
Area 2/3 Keypad permitting setting and unsetting of either Area 2 or Area 3
Keypoint 4
Area 4 Keypoint permitting setting and unsetting of area 4 only.
Note: A 'Manager user 'has the facility to disable a selected Keypad(s). If a Keypad is programmed as Off,
any key presses are ignored by the system although the display will operate as normal.
