Adding a wireless sensor
If the selected expander is a wireless expander, adding zone results in learning
the wireless sensor by the wireless expander.
Wireless sensor learning is described in “Wireless device programming” on page
92.
If the device is a wireless PIR camera, a corresponding camera will be also
created in the camera database. See “Using cameras” on page 98.
4.1.n Select zone
Select a zone to program.
Note: Particular options in this menu differ for specific sensors. For specific
options, see:
• “Shock sensor options” on page 182

Common options
4.1.n.1 Zone name
Use the Zone name option to set a zone name. The zone name identifies the
zone to the end-user for alarm reporting or for display of status or error message.
Without a proper name, the end-user would not be able to resolve problems that
arise in a particular zone.
When a zone is created, it is given the default name “Zone n”.
Enter this menu to edit the current name.
A zone name can consist of 16 characters.
4.1.n.2 Zone type
Use the Zone type menu to set the zone type for a specific zone. The zone type
determines exactly how the zone functions in given circumstances. Each zone
type behaves differently.
Notes
• Available zone options depend on the zone type.
