MC16 Operating Manual 09.01.2020
Parameter Keypad Shortcut – enables to select key which will correspond to the zone when interactive
options are applied.
Text box Description – enables to enter custom description for the zone.
Parameter Parent – enables to select Alarm Zone which will be used in hierarchy as superordinate zone.
Parameter Auto-arming Schedule – enables assignment of schedule to specify when Alarm Zone is
automatically armed. It requires earlier defining of General Purpose Momentary type Schedule.
Parameter Quick Disarming – enables automatic disarming when access is granted.
Option Disable physical access when zone armed – when the option is enabled then Access Points of
armed Alarm Zone deny access till zone disarming.
Area Auto-arming Options
Parameter Incoming Auto-arming Signalling Time [min] – specifies how many minutes before planned
arming the warning is generated on Arming Points by means of LED STATUS (orange) indicators and by
means of input function [87] or [100].
Parameter Auto-arming delay when zone not ready for arming [min] – specifies how much the auto-
arming is delayed when input function [105] is triggered in the moment of planned arming.
Parameter Auto-arming delay on manual request [min] – specifies how much the auto-arming is delayed
when during auto-arming warning the input function [106] is used.
Option Postpone auto-arming after physical access is granted – when the option is enabled then auto-
arming can be delayed not only by function [106] but also by access granting at Arming Point.
Area Alarm Functions
Parameters in this area are mainly dedicated to intruder alarm functionality in RACS 5 system with MC16-
IAC controller(s).
Parameter Alarm Time [s] – specifies alarm signalling time triggered by input function [220] or [221].
Parameter Time Between Alarms [min] – specifies minimal time between successive intruder alarms.
Parameter Entry Delay [s] – specifies delay in detection of alarm from input lines with functions [221].
Parameter Alarm Limit – specifies maximal number of alarms for intruder detection.
Parameter Intruder Detection Limit – specifies maximal number of activations of input lines with functions
[220] and [221].
