Sensor Types (Zones)
Eachsensor(wirelessorwired)installedinthesystemisprogrammedtoaspecificsensornumberandsensortype(zone).
ThesensornumberidentifiesthespecificsensorwhenitisdisplayedontheControlPanel,recordedintheeventlog,or
reportedtotheCentralStation.Thisallowspin‐pointinformationaboutanysensorinthesystem.
ThesensortypedetermineshowandwhentheControlPanelrespondstosignalsfromthesensor.Somesensorsarearmed
allthetime,othersarearmedonlyincertainarminglevels,somecauseCentralStationReportsanytimetheyareactivate d.
Thesensor’stype,alongwith
otherprogrammingoptions,determinethis.
SensorType(Zone) Description
(00)Unused Thisisthesettingforunusedsensornumbersthatdonothaveasensorprogrammedintothem.Nosystem
actionoccursatanytimefromthissensortype.
(01)Exit/Entry1Thissensortypeisreservedfordoorsthatareusedforexitandentryoftheprotectedpremises.Whenthe
system
isarmedintheStayorAwaymode,theexitdelaytimerstarts.Thereisanexitdelayregardlessof
whetherthesystemisarmedinStayorAwaymode.Whentheexitdelaytimerexpires,thesystemisfully
armed.
Withthesystemfullyarmed,whenthistypeofsensor
istriggered,theEntryDelay1timerstarts.The
systemmustbedisarmedbeforetheEntryDelay1timerexpires,oranalarmwilloccur.
IftheentrydelaytimeristurnedOFFduringarming,theexit/entrydelaysensorswillactasnon‐delayed
instantsensorsattheendofexit
delay.
(02)Exit/Entry2 ThissensortypeoperatesthesameastheExit/Entry1sensortypeexceptitstartstheEntryDelay2timer.
Thisprovidesamethodofhavingalongerentrydelayoncertainopenings,suchasagaragedoor,to
providetheendusermoretimetodisarmthesystem.
(03)Perimeter This
sensortypeisforperimeterdoorsandwindowsthatwillnotbeusedtoenterorexittheprotected
premiseswhilethesystemisarmed.Aninstantalarmwilloccurwhenthistypeofsensoristriggeredwith
thesystemarmedineithertheStayorAwaymode.
(04)InteriorFollower Thissensortypeisforinteriorsensorssuchasmotiondetector,interiordoors,andothersensorsthat
detecthumanpresenceinsidetheprotectedpremises.Thistypeofsensoriscalleda“follower”duetoits
actionwhenthesystemisarmedintheAwaymode.Aftertheexitdelayexpiresand
thesystemisarmed,
ifaninteriorfollowersensoristriggered,aninstantalarmwilloccur.Ifanexit/entrydelaysensoris
triggeredfirst,theinteriorfollowersensorwillalsobedelayed.
InteriorfollowersensorsarealwaysbypassedandnotactivewhenthesystemisarmedinStaymode.This
allows
thepremisestobeoccupiedwhilestillprotectingtheperimeter.
(05)DayZone Thissensortypeisthesameasaperimeterzone,exceptwhenthesystemisdisarmed,aviolationdisplays
atroublealertontheConsole’sdisplay.Commonusesforthissensortypeareprotectionofsensitiveareas
thatrequire
notificationandpossiblyaCentralStationtroublereport,butnotanalarmwhenthesystemis
disarmed.
(06)24‐HourSilentAlarm Thissensortypeisactiveindependentofthesystemarmingstatus.Thecodeforsilentpanicissenttothe
CentralStation,butforsafety,therearenovisualoraudibleindicationslocallythatthissensortypehas
beentriggered.
(07)24‐HourAudibleAlarm Thissensortypeiscontinuouslyarmed24‐
hoursaday.Asensorprogrammedtothistypewilltriggera
localalarmandthebelloutputregardlessofthemodethesystemisin.Typicalusewouldbeanaudi ble
panicalarm.
(08)24‐HourAuxiliaryAlarm Thissensortypeiscontinuouslyarmed24‐hoursaday.Asensorprogrammedtothistypewilltriggeran
alarmregardlessofthemodethesystemisin.Thebelloutputwillnotactivate,butthelocalsounderwill
continueuntilit’sacknowledgedattheControlPanel.Typicalusewouldbe
foramonitoringdevicesuchas
afloodortemperaturesensor.Thereisnotimeoutfortheinternalsounder,itwillcontinueuntilauser
codeisentered.
(09)24‐HourFire†Thissensortypeiscontinuouslyarmed24‐hoursaday.A sensorprogrammedtothistypewilltrigger
the
localalarmfiresounderandthebelloutputregardlessofthemodethesystemisin.Typicalusewouldbe
forwirelesssmokedetectors.Thissensortypeisalwaysactiveandcannotbebypassed.
(10)InteriorwithDelay ThissensortypeoperatesasadelayedsensorwhenthesystemisarmedintheAwaymode,andwhen
triggered,willstarttheEntryDelay1timer.IfthesystemisarmedinAwaymodewithnoEntryDelay
(armedinstant),thissensortypewilltriggeraninstantalarm.
Ifthe
systemisarmedinStaymode(orStaymodewithnoEntryDelay),thissensortypewillbebypassed.
(14)24‐HourCarbonMonoxide
†
Thissensortypeiscontinuouslyarmed24‐hoursaday.Asensorprogrammedtothistypewilltriggerthe
localalarmpulsesounderandthebell
outputregardlessofthemodethesystemisin.Typicalusewouldbe
forwirelesscarbonmonoxidedetectors.Thissensortypeisalwaysactiveandcannotbebypassed.
(16)24‐HourFirewith
Verificaon†
Thissensortypeiscontinuouslyarmed24‐hoursaday.Asensorprogrammedtothistypecantriggerthe
localalarmfiresounderandthebelloutputregardlessofthemodethesystemisin.Typicalusewouldbe
forwirelesssmokedetectors.Thissensortypeisalwaysactiveandcannot
bebypassed.
Forverification,thissensortypemustbeviolatedtwiceintwo(2)minutes,orremainviolatedfor30
seconds.Ifanyotherfiresensor(verifiedsensortypeornot)violateswithintwominutes,bothsensorswill
causeafirealarm.
(23)NoResponseType Thissensortypeisaspecial
zonethatcanbemonitoredforactivityorinactivitybytheCentralStation.It
doesnotaffectsecuritysystemstatus.
(24)SilentBurglary Thissensortypeisforsilenttriggeringtheburglaryalarmwithperimeterdoorsandwindowsthatwillnot
beusedtoenterorexittheprotectedpremiseswhilethesystemisarmed.TheControlPanel’ ssounder
andthebelloutputwillnotactivate.
Aninstantsilentalarmwilloccurwhenthis
typeofsensoristriggeredwiththesystemarmedineitherthe
StayorAwaymode.
