The Inhibit option allows a zone to be temporarily removed from the system by the User
should they have need to do so. Typically, they inhibit zones when arming if the zone in
question is OPEN.
The Access option is typically applied to a motion detector on the access route from the
front door to the keypad. This renders the zone inactive during the entry & exit times.
Excl PsA (Exclude from Part-Set A) excludes the zone with this option from the system
when the system is partially armed i.e. when zones assigned to system A are armed. The
zones excluded from system A have thus been automatically inhibited.
Excl PsB (Exclude from Part-Set B) excludes the zone with this option from the system
when the system is partially armed i.e. when zones assigned to system B are armed. The
zones excluded from system B have thus been automatically inhibited.
A zone with the Dbl knock (Double Knock) option needs to be activated twice before the
panel reacts. It is used to reduced false activations. See
The Soak option excludes the zone from the system for an extended period of time. You can
programme that period of time, in days, by going to Soak Period in System Timers. Note
that a log is kept if the zone activates. This option is used for debugging problematic zones.
The Chime option is typically used on the entry/exit doors of corner shops. The buzzer is
briefly activated every time the door is opened and closed. 0#6 followed by the User Code
turns this feature on and off. See page 67 for Latch Chime & Internal Bell Chime options
A zone configured with the 24 Hour option will always activate the sirens irrespective of
whether the system is armed or unset. By default it will only report to your monitoring station
when the system is armed.
Note: To get it to report to your monitoring station when the system is unset, you have to, for
example, change 24 Hour :---- in the Phone Report Menu to 24 Hour :12-- where 1 and 2
are phones 1 and 2 of the monitoring station.
If the system is set, a zone configured with the Perimeter option will activate the sirens &
call the monitoring station if it sees either a high gross attack level or high pulse count.
Note 1: A straight OPEN doesn’t trigger a Perimeter event.
Note 2: Although a straight OPEN does trigger a pre-alarm or alarm event
Note 3: To get it to report to your monitoring station, you have to, for example, change
Perimeter :---- in the Phone Report Menu to Perimeter :12-- where 1 and 2 are phones 1
and 2 of the monitoring station.
A Panic Attack (PA) zone, when activated, will trigger a message to the monitoring station
and activate the system’s sirens. However, applying the Silent PA option will ensure the
sirens are not activated during a PA event whilst still permitting a report to the monitoring
station.
Normally a Key zone arms the system when OPEN and unsets it when CLOSED. However,
with the Key Pulse option the system is armed when the zone momentarily OPEN. Then,
once armed, it can be unset by momentarily opening the input again.
If you have a Fire Exit zone and you have the Fire Exit Delay option you can program that
zone to have a delayed reaction when the system is unset. To do this, go to Fire Exit Dly in
the Misc. Timers menu and set the delay time anywhere up to 99 seconds
Dbl knock timers on page 59.
If this is set to YES, it means that as soon as the entry door shunt lock is unlocked the
system is unset (or disarmed). If it is programmed to be NO then the Shunt Lock zone
automatically becomes an Entry/Exit zone and the system is prohibited from triggering a
verified alarm. By default this is set to NO. See pages 94 & 95 for more details.
Disable BV is shorthand for disable verified alarm. It is an option unique to Entry/Exit zones.
It is typically used in conjunction with BS 8243 installations. When set to YES, an activation
on the Entry/Exit zone in question cannot trigger a verified alarm message. By default this is
set to NO. See pages 94 & 95 for more details.
Allows the system to measure zone loop resistance. Only on Alarm & E/E zones by default.
