70  ZeroWire Reference Guide 
Menu 15 - Zone Types 
Zones can be programmed to be one of 32 different zone configurations. Zones 
are fully configurable in the ZeroWire panel. These features are considered 
advanced programming and should only be changed with a thorough 
understanding of the operation of each bit. 
Zone type profiles can also change depending on whether the areas they are in 
are armed or disarmed. This provides the ultimate flexibility in panel 
programming. 
Zone Type Number 
The ZeroWire can support a total of 32 Zone Types. Each Zone Type is identified 
by a unique number, which cannot be altered, and remains as the key reference 
for each Zone Type. 
Zone Type Name 
Each Zone Type can be configured with a custom 32 character name. The name 
is displayed wherever a Zone Type is referenced on the ZeroWire system.
