IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02H Issued July 2013
Table 5: Zone Types
DISABLED
A zone violation of a Disabled zone is ignored by the Alarm Panel and will not be indicated on the
keypad.
PRIMARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
Violations of an Entry/Exit zone are ignored during the exit delay period of the arming procedure.
Violating an Entry/Exit zone when armed will initiate the entry delay period. If a valid User Code is not
entered before the entry delay period expires, an alarm condition will be registered. Failure to exit
through an Entry/Exit zone after arming will cause the panel to Stay Arm. This zone may also function as
an Entry/Exit zone that is COMMON to two partitions. In such a case, should a user violate this zone and
then disarm this partition, the OTHER partition will re-arm after the entry delay.
FOLLOWER ZONE
A Follower zone is not monitored during the Entry/Exit delay period; therefore it will not cause a
violation. This allows the user to enter/exit via the Follower zone. A Follower zone will behave as an
Instant zone while the panel is armed and an Entry/Exit zone is not violated prior to violation of the
Follower zone.
PANIC/PRIORITY ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a Priority zone will cause the Alarm
Panel to register a panic condition. This zone type CANNOT be bypassed.
INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Instant zone will cause the Alarm Panel to register an alarm condition.
ARM/DISARM ZONE
Violation of an Arm/Disarm zone will cause the panel to toggle between (away) armed and disarmed. It
is typical to connect a momentary key-switch, or non-latching remote control unit to this zone. NOTE: A
zone must be added to a partition in order for it to arm.
SECONDARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
The Secondary entry delay will be activated if this zone is violated while the panel is armed.
Instant Fire Zone (New)
Zone triggers on the first violation and triggers a standard fire alarm signal
FIRE ZONE
Violation of a Fire zone will cause the siren to sound regardless of whether the panel is armed or not.
The siren will sound intermittently (one second on, one second off). For correct operation, a
programmable output programmed as a fire detector power output must be used to control power to
the fire detector (refer to Table 36)
TAMPER ZONE
Violation of a Tamper zone will be reported to the base station regardless of whether the panel is
armed or disarmed. If the panel is armed, the siren will sound.
24 HOUR ALARM ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a 24 Hour Alarm zone will cause the
Alarm Panel to register a panic condition.
WARNING ZONE
Violation of a Warning zone will cause the siren to beep. The violation is logged in the event log but it is
not reported to the base station. Warning zones may be included and will be counted when used as
part of the cross-zone.
PUSH TO ARM ZONE
Violation
of
a
Push
to
A
rm
zone
during
the
exit
delay
will immediately
arm
the
panel.
OUTDOOR INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Outdoor Instant zone will cause the panel to register an alarm condition.
NOTE: This is a reporting code and it functions in the same way as zone type 04.
