LATCHING ZONE TYPES
When any device (other than FIRE or GAS) is connected to SWITCH 12V or a Switched Power Output, the zone must
be configured as one of the LATCHING ZONE TYPES (latching perimeter, latching night interior, latching away
interior, and latching tamper). LATCHING ZONE TYPES ignore the status of that zone during power cycles.
Used primarily when the FIRE ALARM VERIFICATION feature is being used. This type will ignore the status of
LATCHING ZONES (i.e. Glassbreak Detectors) when the power is switched to reset devices.
DESCRIPTION OF ZONE TYPES
ENTRY/EXIT
ENTRY/EXIT ZONE types are intended for doors. ENTRY/EXIT ZONES are armed in security modes DAY, NIGHT,
AWAY, and VACATION. In DAY and AWAY modes, there is an entry delay (defined by ENTRY DELAY) on
ENTRY/EXIT ZONES to allow you to get into the house and turn off the alarm before it sounds. In NIGHT & DAY
INSTANT mode, there is no entry delay, so that the alarm sounds immediately if someone opens a door.
There are two special types of ENTRY/EXIT ZONES for use with garage doors, or doors that are far away from the
control console. They are called DOUBLE ENTRY DELAY and QUADRUPLE ENTRY DELAY zones. These zones
have double or quadruple the ENTRY DELAY to give you additional time to reach the console to disarm the system
upon returning. Only the ENTRY DELAY is extended on these zone types. The EXIT DELAY is not extended.
If an ENTRY/EXIT ZONE is tripped first, all other zones will are delayed.
PERIMETER and LATCHING PERIMETER
PERIMETER ZONE types are intended for windows and exterior doors not requiring an entry delay. All PERIMETER
ZONES are armed in security modes DAY, NIGHT, AWAY, and VACATION. There is not an entry delay on a
perimeter zones. If a PERIMETER zone is opened while the security system is in DAY, NIGHT, AWAY or VACATION
mode, the alarm will sound immediately. LATCHING PERIMETER ZONES are ignored during power cycles.
NIGHT INTERIOR and LATCHING NIGHT INTERIOR
NIGHT INTERIOR ZONES are intended for motion detectors in areas where no one should be while you are sleeping
in your home. For example, if you have a two-story home and sleep upstairs, your downstairs motion detector(s)
should be on a NIGHT INTERIOR ZONE.
NIGHT INTERIOR ZONES are armed in security modes NIGHT, VACATION, and AWAY only. There is no delay on a
NIGHT INTERIOR ZONE. Night interior zones are NOT armed in DAY or DAY INSTANT mode, so that you may
move about freely in your home when the security system is in DAY or DAY INSTANT mode, while still having the
windows and doors protected. LATCHING NIGHT INTERIOR ZONES are ignored during power cycles.
AWAY INTERIOR and LATCHING AWAY INTERIOR
AWAY INTERIOR ZONES are for areas of your home where no one should be while you are away. In the previous
example, your upstairs motion detector(s) should be on an AWAY INTERIOR ZONE. AWAY INTERIOR ZONES are
armed only when the security mode is AWAY. LATCHING AWAY INTERIOR ZONES are ignored during power
cycles.
PANIC, TAMPER, and LATCHING TAMPER
PANIC and TAMPER ZONES are for emergency pushbuttons and tamper switches. PANIC and TAMPER ZONES
are always armed, even if the security mode is OFF. There are no delays on PANIC and TAMPER ZONES. An
emergency dial out is activated after the DIAL OUT DELAY.
TAMPER ZONES should be used for items such as gun cabinets and liquor closets.
LATCHING TAMPER ZONES ignore the status of that zone during power cycles.
