3.5.3 Configuring Zones Functionality 
The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To 
select an option and change its configuration – refer to section 3.5.1. 
Option  Configuration Instructions 
Here you determine the number of times a zone is allowed to initiate an alarm within a 
single arming/disarming period (including tamper & power failure events of detectors, 
etc.). If the number of alarms from a specific zone exceeds the programmed number, the 
control panel automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren noise and 
nuisance reporting to the Monitoring Station. The zone will be reactivated upon 
disarming, or 48 hours after having been bypassed (if the system remains armed). 
 
Option settings: after 1 alarm (default); after 2 alarms (default in USA); after 3 alarms 
and no stop. 
 
 
 
 
Cross zoning is a method used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will be initiated only 
when two adjacent zones (zone couples) are violated within a 30-second time window.  
This feature is active only when the system is armed AWAY and only with respect to the 
following zone couples: 18+19, 20+21, 22+23, 24+25, 26+27 in PowerMaster-10 system 
/ 40+41, 42+43, 44+45, 46+47, 48+49, 50+51, 52+53, 54+55, 56+57, 58+59, 60+61, 
62+63 in PowerMaster-30 system.  
Here you determine whether cross zoning will be active or inactive. 
 
Option settings: OFF (default) and ON. 
 
Notes: 
 
1. If one of the two crossed zones is bypassed (see Section 3.5.2), the 
remaining zone will function independently. 
2. It is recommended that crossed zones will be only zones used for detection 
of burglary i.e. "Zone Types": Entry/ Exit, Interior, Perimeter and Perimeter 
follower. 
Important! Do not define "cross zoning" to any other zone types such as Fire, 
Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent etc. 
 
 
3.5.4 Configuring Alarms & Troubles  
The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To 
select an option and change its configuration – refer to section 3.5.1. 
Option  Configuration Instructions 
 
Define whether or not the user will be allowed to initiate a Panic Alarm from keypads (by 
simultaneous pressing the two "Panic Buttons") or keyfobs (by simultaneous pressing 
the "Away" + "Home" buttons) and whether the alarm will be "silent" (i.e. only reporting 
of the event) or also audible (i.e. the sirens will also go off).  
 
Option settings: audible (default); silent and disabled. 
 
 
 
 
 
A duress (ambush) alarm message can be sent to the Monitoring Station if the user is 
forced to disarm the system under violence or menace. To initiate a duress message, 
the user must disarm the system using a duress code (2580 by default). Here you can 
change the duress code or enter "0000" to disable the duress feature.
