Zone Attributes
Zone attributes are the settings that control the overall behavior of points within the zone. The zone may be congured as latching
or non-latching, silenceable vs. non-silenceable, among other attributes.
Tips: Double-click in a eld to modify an applicable eld, i.e., zone name or alarm count. Click in elds with a
selection box to select or deselect the option, i.e., silenceable or latching.
All zones default to an “Alarm” style or type when rst created. The gure shown below is an example of the default attributes of
a "Alarm" zone.
