24 Hour Zone Types
24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push
to Set zones should be monitored constantly.
When a zone is omitted the system no longer monitors opening
and closing of that zone. The Full and Part Set Suites (see page
29) provide a method of automatically omitting zones when the
system is set. Once a zone is omitted it will not be re-included until
the system is next set. It is important to ensure that 24 Hour zones
(Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones
are not omitted by any of the Full or Part Set Suites or the Cleaner
Suite.
The system can be programmed to automatically change the Zone
Type of any zone into either Exit/Entry, Inhibited Entry or Guard on
selected part sets (see page 26). The change will persist until the
system is unset. It is important to ensure that 24 Hour zones (Fire,
PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones are not
changed on part set.
If EN 50131-1 Requirements is selected (see page 20) then
omitted zones will be reinstated when the system is next
unset.
When wiring a 24 Hour zone (Fire, PA and Tamper), such as a
panic button, using EOL operation it may be more convenient to fit
the EOL resistor(s) in the panel than in the detector.
Programming the Zone Type
-
Each of the eight Zone Types has an associated Zone Type
number which is used when programming the Zone Type of a
zone:
Zone Type Number Zone Type
1 Push to Set
2 Inhibited Entry
3 Guard
4 Fire
5 Tamper
6 Entry/Exit
7 Personal Attack (Panic)
8 Keyswitch
From the Programming Menu, press
followed by the zone
number. The Zone Type currently selected will indicate i.e. Guard.

A zone is often referred to by its Zone Type, e.g. a zone with
the PA Zone Type would be referred to as a PA zone.
Changing Part Set Zone Types -
The Zone Type of any zone can be made to change when the system
is part set. The Zone Type can be changed into either Entry/Exit,
Inhibited Entry or Guard. It is also possible to program which part
set(s) will cause the Zone Type to change. The change will persist until
the system is next unset.
For example, the tables below show the factory settings:
Zone
Zone Type
Part Setting Changes Zone Type
Into:
Entry/Exit
Inhibited
Entry
Guard
1 Entry/Exit
2 Inhibited Entry
3 Guard
4 Guard
5 Guard
6 Guard
7 Guard
8 Guard
Zone 1 will change (from Entry/Exit) into Guard and Zone 2 will
change (from Inhibited Entry) into Entry/Exit.
Part Set Number
Zone Type Changes For Part Set
Part Set 1
Part Set 2
Part Set 3
Part Set 4
These changes will occur when using Part Sets 1 and 3 but not
when using Part Sets 2 and 4.
24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and
Push to Set zones should be monitored constantly and
should NOT be programmed to change when the system is
part set.
