8.5 OPERATION OF NON-LATCH AS1668 ZONES 
 
Zones programmed as non-latching AS1668 zones must be in continual alarm before 
they operate their associated outputs. When operated, the outputs will track the alarm 
input  and  will  be  de-activated  when  the  monitoring  zone  has  been  in  a  non-alarm 
condition  for  a  period  of  either  30  or  60  seconds.  Refer  to  the  appendix  for  more 
detailed description of AS 1668 zone operation. 
 
 
8.5.1 Displaying the Status of AS1668 Zones 
   
Zones configured with AS1668 delays will not bring-up an alarm condition nor will they 
be entered into the alarm list when they are in alarm. 
To display the status of a AS1668 zone use the following steps: 
 
STEP 1  Press the INPUT(7) key to display the zone input list and use the +/- keys 
to scroll through the list until the zone is displayed.

           Normal  # 1 of 3   11:27:00     
 
If  an  alarm  is  present  on  the  zone  the  displayed  status  will  alternate 
between  ALARM  and  NORMAL  condition,  tracking  the  state  of  the 
detector  zone  as  it  is  continually  being  reset  and  then  checked  for  an 
alarm condition.
