Section Five: Operating the AIM-200

5.1 Zone Display

For each of the eight zone displays, a red LED, yellow LED and a switch are provided. The

198-point capacity of the AIM-200 is assigned to these zones using a “mapping” technique.

Each of the 198 devices may be mapped to one or more zones. If an initiating device

mapped to more than one zone is alarmed, all mapped zones will be placed into alarm. This

type of zoning could be used to provide a matrix, where one zone indicates the area and

another the type of device. For example, four zones could be used to indicate floor of alarm,

and three zones could be used to indicate smoke alarm, manual station, and waterflow

alarm. The eighth zone could be used for supervisory devices (the supervisory devices

would not be mapped into a floor zone).

CMX-2 Control Modules are activated by the AIM-200 when the zone that they are mapped

to enters an alarm condition. If a CMX-2 is mapped to more than one zone, it will be acti-

vated when any of the zones are in alarm.

The zone LEDs and switches emulate the functions of an IZM-8 module except when in

Program/Display mode. Pressing the switch in Program/Display mode displays all output

circuits in the system that are mapped to that zone.

The AIM-200 zone assumes the status of any device mapped to that zone that enters an

alarm or trouble condition. If any of the initiating devices are in alarm, the zone is reported

in alarm. If one or more devices (including CMX-2 modules) are in trouble, and no alarms

exist, trouble is reported for the zone.

One trouble condition, called “Maintenance Alert,” will be reported for analog detectors that

give readings in the 0-19% or 80-99% range. This trouble condition will result only if the

detector remains at this value continuously for 24 hours (smoldering fires could linger here

before passing 100%). After the detector remains at this level for about 24 hours, trouble is

reported for that detector.
