Intercall 600 - Zoning Example 1: Local Zone Displays

Intercall 600/700 Installation & Operation Guide Issue 4.27 Page 65 of 78
Zoning – Example 1.
In the example below, we have 2 zones with 9 call points and 2 display units on each zone. They are to be operated
independently and the LCD Displays are only to show calls local to the zone. The ‘Options’ described below allow for
this to be switched (say for day/night staffing levels) and to allow emergency or ‘attack’ calls to be shown on all zones.
Setting up the Call Points.
• Set up call points on the first zone with consecutive addresses. The zone 1 example above starts at address 1 and
continues to address 9.
• Leaving a gap to allow for future expansion, set up call points on the second zone with consecutive addresses. The
zone 2 example above starts at address 15 and continues to address 23.
• Continue the above procedure on all further zones, leaving gaps for future expansion between all zones. The zone 3
example above starts at address 30 and continues to address 38.
Setting up the LCD Display Units.
• Set up all
displays in zone 1 as follows:
• DISPLAY ADDRESS 00. We wish the displays in both zone 1 and zone 2 to be switched together, so we have
used the same display address on all LCD displays. As we are using display address 0 the address window
settings will need to be set up on all displays.
• ZONE A LOW ADD 1,ZONE A HIGH ADD 9. This address window ‘Zone A’ is set to receive only local calls
from zone 1.
• Set up all
displays in zone 2 as follows:
• DISPLAY ADDRESS 00. We wish the displays in both zone 1 and zone 2 to be switched together, so we have
used the same display address on all LCD displays.
• ZONE A LOW ADD 15,ZONE A HIGH ADD 23. This address window ‘Zone A’ is set to receive only local
calls from zone 1.
Zone Connection.
• Select one LCD Display to be the ‘master’ (It can be any display in any zone and in the example above it is one of
the displays on zone 2) and connect the terminals on the rear of the unit to select address window A. For
information on the connections for the zone switch, please refer to page 35
Options.
• Should you wish to switch the zone (Say in the daytime, you wish to see all calls on all displays and at night time
the calls are only displayed locally) Connect a switch to select either ‘global’ or address Window A
• If you set the all display menus to EMERGENCY CALLS = ALL ZONES, Then ‘Emergency’ or ‘Attack’ calls
from either zone 1 or zone 2 will be shown on all LCD display units.
