Mapping Terminology
The table below provides mapping terms that may be helpful to you in understanding the mapping concept:
Table 16: Mapping Terminology
Term Denition
Mapping
Creating relationships between points, modules and sensors and dening their behavior.
Zone
A group of points.
 Zones may represent a group of points located in a specic physical area at the site.
Example: Zone 1 comprised of all alarm devices for a sprinkler system [i.e., pull station #1, one (1)
water ow device, and one (1) strobe-NAC].
 Zones may represent a set of points congured for a specic function; their location may be scattered
throughout the site. This group is a “logical” grouping or zone.
Example: Zone 2 comprised of all points in Zone 1 as described above, plus a 2
nd
pull station located
at end of a hallway and two (2) additional smoke detectors.
Notes:
1. If all input / output points are grouped into one (1) zone, when any input is activated, all outputs
activate.
2. A device or point may be mapped into more than one (1) zone.
Point
Any specic initiating device circuit (IDC) or appliance connected to panel.
Latching
Device will not automatically reset; device must be RESET at the keypad to remove condition.
Non-Latching
Device will automatically reset when trouble and supervisory condition is no longer present.
Zone Types / Styles
You may dene or congure each zone to serve a specic purpose or to create specic output results. For procedures on how to
select Zone styles, refer to the “Conguring Zones” section of this manual. The following zone styles are available:
