B.3.5 Cross Zones
Purpose of Cross Zones
Programming the Cross Zone releasing function can set the control panel to activate a releasing
zone and any output mapped to that releasing zone only after a predetermined sequence of events
occurs.
A summary of the types of Cross Zones and the conditions for activating a releasing zone:
How Cross Zones Work
Below is an illustrated example of how Cross Zones work, using five Cross Zone selections (four
detectors and an SLC output module mapped to Releasing Zone ZR01):
Figure B.8 Illustrated Example of Cross Zone Programming
NOTE: The FACP considers only the primary zone (the first zone in a point’s zone map) to
determine whether conditions have been met for Cross Zone type Z.
Type Activates when
No A Cross Zone has not been selected. An alarm from any detector mapped to the releasing zone
activates it.
Yes Two or more initiating devices are in alarm that are mapped to the same releasing zone.
Zone Two or more initiating devices are in alarm that are mapped to two different primary zones and that
are also mapped to the same releasing zone. Note that the FACP considers only primary zones to
determine whether releasing zone activation should occur.
Heat At least one smoke detector mapped to a releasing zone is in alarm and at least one heat detector
mapped to the same releasing zone is in alarm.
