Description
This is the editable label which identifies the zone. By
default all the zones assume the description of the
peripheral they refer to, followed by the respective
terminal.
Zones, selected zone
Zones, "zone"
Type
Checkbox for the selection of the zone type:
Instant, Delayed, Viewable delayed, Route, 24hour,
Technological, Arm, Disarm, Switch, Follow, Patrol.
Balancing
Checkbox for the selection of the balancing type (the
options vary in accordance with the zone type).
Normally open (NO), Normally closed (NC), Single
balancing, Double balancing, Double zone (without
EOL), Double zone (with EOL).
Detector type
Generic zone, Roller blind, Shock
Alarm cycles
Checkbox for the selection of the number of alarm
cycles (between 1 and 14).
If you select “Unlimited”, the zone will operate as a
“repetitive” zone.
Configuration
scheme
Button for to open a window showing the zone
connection mode.
Contact ID
Checkbox to indicate the Contact-ID code associated
with the zone for the occurrence or restoral of events
such as:
• Zone alarm
•Zone tamper
•Zone bypass
•Zone real-time
Wiring diagram
Button for to open a window showing the zone
connection mode.
Not available
Real-time
Section for the adjustment of zone detection
thresholds. The thresholds can be modified via the
number boxes or by using the bar which indicates the
levels by means of colours:
• yellow - tamper/short
• green - stand-by
• red - alarm
• orange - double zone with one zone in alarm
status and the other in stand-by status
Clocking-on the Real-time button makes a
connection with the zone which feeds back
information regarding the thresholds. The OK button
saves the changes which will be written during the
write phase.
Not available
Multi-pulse time
This parameter applies only when the “Alarm pulse
num.” parameter is more than 1.
This is the window during which a number of alarm
pulses must be detected (each lasting as long as the
programmed “Al.pulse Duration”). The number of
alarm pulses must equal or exceed the value
programmed for “Alarm pulses”, before the system
generates an alarm. This time window can be
expressed in seconds or minutes.
Zones, selected zone,
Device parameters
“generic”
Zones, generic zone
Alarm pulses
This is the number of pulses (each lasting for the
length of the “Al.pulseDuration”) necessary to
generate a zone alarm event. If this value is more
than 1, the “Multi-pulse time” parameter must also be
programmed.
Alarm pulse
duration
This is the length of time (after detection of alarm
conditions) the zone will allow before generating an
alarm. Expressed in multiples of 15 milliseconds or
minutes.
Roller blind time
This parameter applies only when the value of the
“Roller blind pulses” (see below) is more than 1.
This is the time window during which a number of
pulses, equal to the value set for “Rollerblind pulses”,
must be detected before a zone alarm is generated.
This time window can be expressed in seconds or
minutes.
Zones, selected zone,
Device parameters
“roller blind”
Zones, "roller blind
zone"
Roller blind
pulses
This is the number of pulses necessary to generate a
zone-alarm event.
If this value is more than 1, you must also program
the “Roller blind time” parameter.
