System Programming
System programming involves dening the function of points and their relationships to each other, referred to as "mapping". You
can dene behavior characteristics of individual or groups of points, map points into zones, and further customize your system
using the panel conguration software from a computer.
The panel conguration software features include:
y Easy to use Windows-based editing techniques, including drag and drop between windows.
y Flexibility in conguring points into multiple zones promoting sophisticated mapping relationships.
y Simple sorting and grouping by select elds enhances viewing and analysis of data.
y Options to view points by type, address and function or description.
Mapping Zones Overview
Mapping is creating relationships between points, modules and sensors and their behavior between each other. Whereas, the
“zone” is the framework in which you group the points. These terms and other related mapping concepts are provided in this
section.
Single Zones
The LEARN feature creates or maps a basic, one-to-one relationship where all points are automatically grouped into one
zone. When all points are in the same zone, and an input device is activated, all output points will activate. Please refer to the
illustration below for an example of a one-to-one device relationship:
Figure 52. Mapping all Points to One Zone
Multiple Zones
The panel conguration software allows you to customize the operational mode behavior of points by grouping them into a
maximum of 30 different zones. All input points, including the one (1) on-board NAC circuit (NAC 1), may be congured to
behave in a specic manner. This exibility enables you to congure system points to maximize protection throughout your site.
By organizing points into different zones, you can create unique relationships between points for specic outputs or events.
The panel conguration software allows you to efciently group points to follow a sequence of events producing the same
combination of outputs into different zones. This section addresses how to accomplish these tasks.
