5. ALARM ZONES.
5.1 Linking Zones
It is not essential to link an Alarm Zone to a reader,
although not doing so will obviously mean that readers
will continue to behave as though no alarm system is in
operation. When a reader is linked, the act of arming its
associated Alarm Zone will cause the reader to reject all
access attempts, except those of a supervisor.

To link/unlink a Zone to a reader, simply access the
reader’s window by going to Parameter, Controller, t
clicking on the Readers tab. Select the relevant reade
and expand it using the ellipse (three dots) button.

.2 Multiple Zones
he creation of any Alarm Zone is done first by defining which inputs are to be part of that zone. In the
t of selected
ontrol of multiple zones can be achieved from a single Alarm Keypad panel, where multiple alarms and/or

box marked Transaction code F2. In the example on the
right, reader 1 is linked to Alarm Zone 1.
Note that whilst an Alarm Zone can have m
readers linked to it, a reader can only ever be part o
Alarm Zone. To unlink a reader, simply use the value 0
in the Transaction code F2 box.

T
simple example from section 3.4, we established an Alarm Zone with only one input, Input 1.
Multiple zones are set up in exactly the same way as a single Zone, with each being built up ou
inputs. Note that the same input can also be used in more than one Zone (see section 5.3).
C
controllers are wired to the same bus; or several Alarm Keypad panels, where multiple buses are used, with
each bus requiring its own panel. An example of this architecture can be seen below:
