ZeroWire Reference Guide 31
Menu 4 - Areas
The ZeroWire can support a total of 8 areas; each area is configured with its
entry and exit times, area options, area timers, area type and reporting
characteristics.
Area Number
The ZeroWire can support a total of 8 areas. Each area is identified by a unique
area number, which cannot be altered, and remains as the key reference for
each area.
Area Name
Each area can be configured with a custom 32 character name. The area name
is displayed wherever an area is referenced on the ZeroWire system.
Area Entry And Exit Times
ZeroWire uses the area entry and exit timers to delay the activation of an alarm
event when entry/exit zone types are activated.
When an area is turned on, it will start an Exit 1 timer. When the Exit 1 timer
expires it will start the Exit 2 timer.
While an Exit 1 timer is running – Entry 1, Entry 2, and Handover zone types will
not create an alarm. While an Exit 1 or Exit 2 timer is running – Entry 2 zones will
not create an alarm.
Once all exit delays are expired, an activation on an Entry 2 zone type will start
an Entry delay with the Entry 2 time and an activation of an Entry 1 zone type will
start an Entry delay with the Entry 1 time.
If an entry delay is running and a zone is activated with an entry time that is less
than the time remaining, the timer will be reduced to the time of that new zone.
Activation of a Handover zone while an entry timer is not running will create an
instant alarm.
If a zone is in more than 1 area, the zone will use the have the longest entry and
exit delay time of the programmed area. If an area greater than 1 has the time
set to 0, that area will use the time programmed in Area 1.
If area settings are set to 0, then the area will automatically inherit Area 1
settings.
Entry Time 1
Entry time 1 is used to time the entry delay when an entry delay is started by an
entry 1 zone type.
