Zone Types and Their Values
The value indicated in the left column of the table, is the information that must be entered. Each zone must
have a type associated to it, for the alarm to react accordingly when violated. Think of a sports team each
player is given a function, defender, attacker, etc. This allows them to function within the game which is the
same with each zone; their function is what causes them to work correctly for the security that is needed.
Exercise:
PRIMARY ENTRY
/ EXIT ZONE
An Entry/Exit zone is used to determine if the occupants have left the building once
the arming procedure is initiated. Violating an Entry/Exit zone when armed will initiate
the entry delay. 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 his partition, the
OTHER partition will re-arm after the entry delay.
A violation of a Follower zone is ignored during the Entry/Exit delay period (this allows
the user to enter/exit via the Follower zone). A Follower zone will behave as an Instant
zone if the panel is armed and an Entry/Exit zone is not violated prior to violation of the
Follower zone.
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a Priority zone will
cause the control panel to register a panic condition. This zone type CANNOT be
bypassed.
When the panel is armed the violation of an Instant zone will cause the control panel to
register an alarm condition.
The 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.
SECONDARY
ENTRY / EXIT
ZONE
The Secondary Entry delay will be activated if this zone is violated when the panel is
armed.
The zone will trigger on the first violation of the smoke detector
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.
Violation of this 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 be activated.
This works the same as a Panic zone – with the exception that it is able to be
bypassed.
When the panel is armed, 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
When the panel is armed the violation of an Outdoor Instant zone will cause the panel
to register an alarm condition the only difference compared to instant zone is the
contact ID code sent to the control room.
