Appendix B Releasing Zones
Introduction
The control panel provides ten Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09). These are special zones that can be
used for up to ten independent releasing operations. This section contains descriptions of each
releasing function option and an example of how Releasing Zone options work.
For instructions on programming Releasing Functions, refer to this panel’s programming manual.
Each Releasing Zone includes the following releasing options:
The Read Status function allows the operator to view the current selections for a Releasing Zone.
Refer to “Releasing Zone” on page 48 for more information.
How Releasing Zones Operate
The figure below contains an illustrated example of how Releasing Zones work, using cross zone
selections with four detectors and an NAC mapped to Releasing Zone 1 (listed as ZR01 in the zone
map). Appendix Table B-2 lists the cross zone selections and the conditions that activate the
Releasing Zone:
Option Description
Cross Zone Cross Zones let you program the control panel to activate a Releasing Zone when
two or more detectors are alarmed. Cross Zone selections are:
Yes
Zone
Heat
None
Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to one of the ten
Releasing Zones (ZR00-ZR09).
Two or more detectors are alarmed that are mapped to two different
Software Zones and mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones (R0-R9).
At least one smoke detector mapped to one of the ten Releasing Zones
(ZR00-ZR09) is alarmed and at least one heat detector mapped to the
same Releasing Zone as the smoke detector is alarmed.
Cross Zones are not used.
Delay Timer A 0–60 second programmable delay before activating a zone.
Abort Switch An Abort Switch Type Code used to abort activation of a zone.
Manual Release Allows immediate zone activation by overriding the abort function, cross-zone
function, and delay timer.
Soak Timer Automatically shuts off the releasing device after a preprogrammed period of
time. Select 0001-9999 seconds for Soak Time or 0000 seconds for no Soak
Time.
