Areas
An ‘area’ is a group of one or more zones and would
normally be used to split the premises into different
sections. Each area can be either ‘Full’ armed or ‘Part’
armed.
Example 1: Domestic Premises
The upstairs of a house could be area A, the downstairs
could be area B and the garage could be area C.
Each area can be ‘Full’ armed independently from each
other (all detection devices in the area monitored). For
instance, downstairs and the garage in example 1 (areas B
& C) could be armed at night allowing access to the
upstairs of the house (area A).
!
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 2: Domestic Premises
The entire house could be area A.
Each area can be ‘Part’ armed. For instance, detection
devices upstairs, i.e. PIR’s, could be programmed so that
they will not be monitored during a ‘Part’ arm, allowing
access to the upstairs of the house at night.
!
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 3: Commercial Premises
Office 1 in an office block could be area A, office 2 could
be area B and office 3 could be area C.
Each area can be armed and disarmed independently from
each other. For instance, any of the offices in example 2
above could be armed and disarmed to allow access
without affecting the other offices.
!
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 1: Office Block
The foyer of the office block in example 3 would need to
be armed when the last office is armed and disarmed
when the first office is disarmed.
Because the foyer is a global area (used by everyone) the
zones in that area need to be assigned to areas A, B and
C. This ensures that the zone is only recognised by the
system when ALL areas (A, B & C) are armed, allowing
access to the foyer even if one of the areas is still armed.
Monitoring
This alarm system is capable of reporting Intruder alarms,
Panic alarms, Fire alarms and other types of information
over telephone lines to an Alarm Receiving Centre. If you
accidentally set the alarm off, call the Alarm Receiving
Centre immediately to prevent an unnecessary response.
!
The monitoring function must be enabled before it
will work.
