Zone Information

Zone Number

Enter the zone number.

Refer to the Zone Numbers Table for available zone numbers.

Zone Name

Enter a zone name up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The zone name can display on keypads during arming and disarming, so users do not need to memorize zone numbers.

For a zone that is not part of the system, clear the zone name to mark it as *UNUSED*. Press any select key or area to clear the existing name, then press CMD. The name is automatically changed to *UNUSED*.

If Zone Information was cleared in Initialization, the zone is automatically marked as *UNUSED*.

Zone Location

If needed, enter a zone location name up to 32 characters that is separate from the zone name.

Enter a description location for the zone, such as 2nd Floor East Wing. The zone location is only sent to the monitoring center to help dispatchers identify where an alarm is triggered and does not display at the keypad.

Zone Type

The panel has 13 default zone types for configuring common zone applications. All zone types except Arming can be customized.

The zone type determines the panel response (Alarm Action) when a zone is opened or shorted. Depending on the zone type and its restrictions, up to 13 Alarm Action responses are available.

See Zone Type Descriptions.

When you assign a zone type to a zone, automatic alarm actions are made. Select one of the following zone types:

• NT (Night)

• DY (Day)

• EX (Exit)

• FI (Fire)

• PN (Panic)

• EM (Emergency)

• SV (Supervisory)

• A1 (Auxiliary 1)

• A2 (Auxiliary 2)

• AR (Arming)

• IN (Instant)

• DB (Doorbell)

• HU (Holdup)

If you select Blank, Night, Day, Exit, Auxiliary 1, Auxiliary 2, or Arming as the zone type, assign the zone to an active area. If you select Fire, Panic, Holdup, Emergency, Supervisory as the zone type, it is a 24-hour zone that is always armed and no area assignment is needed.

Arm/Disarm Areas

📍 Displays if Zone Type is Arming

Enter the areas that the zone controls. When the zone changes from normal to shorted, the programmed areas toggle between the armed or disarmed condition using the Style programming.

When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until you disarm the area(s) from a keypad, Virtual Keypad, or Remote Link computer.

Area Number Assignment

📍 Displays if Zone Type is Arming

Enter the area number where the Night, Day, Exit, Auxiliary 1, Auxiliary 2, or Instant zone is assigned. Area numbers 1 to 32 can be assigned.

Style

This option allows you to choose the style for the arming/disarming operation.

Select one of the following styles:

• TGL (default) — When the zone changes from normal to short, the programmed areas toggle between the armed or disarmed condition. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone opens from a disarmed state, a trouble is reported. When opened from an armed state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until the areas are disarmed.

• ARM — When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a disarmed state, a trouble is reported. When opened from an armed state, an alarm is reported.

• DIS — A short disarms the programmed areas. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported.

• STEP — The Arming type areas arm and the keypads beep once. A normal condition causes no action. An open condition disarms the programmed areas and the keypads beep for one second

• MNT — When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored to normal, the programmed areas are disarmed and any alarm bells are silenced. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. If opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until you disarm the areas.

Expander Serial Number

If you are using a zone expansion module, enter the 10-character serial number found on the module.

To transmit the serial number to the panel automatically, select LRN. When TRANSMIT NOW appears on the keypad, tamper the transmitter that is being paired. Once the panel has received the tamper signal, the serial number displays on the keypad.

Alarm Action

This option allows you to change any Zone Type standard definitions. When the Zone Type is specified, the Alarm Action for that zone is stored in memory.

This feature allows you to configure the action taken by the panel when the zone is opened while the area is disarmed. There are three actions to define:

• Report to transmit

• Relay Output to activate

• Relay Output action

Make these selections for the Disarmed Short, Armed Open, and Armed Short zone conditions.

Report to Transmit

Select one of the alarm report options:

• A (Alarm) — Send an alarm report to the receiver and activate the bell output according to zone type. The zone name appears in the panel alarmed zones and status lists.

• T (Trouble) — Send a trouble report to the receiver. The zone name appears in the panel alarmed zones and status lists.

• L (Local) — Do not send alarm reports to the receiver. The bell output activates and the zone name appears in the panel alarmed zones and status lists.

• - (Dash) — Do not send reports to the receiver. The bell output does not activate, and there is no display in the panel alarmed zones or status list. Only the relay output selected in the next section operates

• D (Door Propped) — Allow Entry Delay 4 in System Options to begin counting without displaying on keypad. If the time expires and the zone has not returned to normal, the keypad trouble buzzer starts and Close the Door appears on the keypads programmed in Prewarn Address. If the time expires a second time, and the zone has not returned to normal, the output (if programmed) triggers, and a fault report is sent to the receiver and an Open message displays on the keypads until a code is entered.

• S (Sensor Reset) — When the zone state changes, the bell is silenced, a Sensor Reset is performed, and an Alarm Bell Silenced (S34) is sent.

• C (Cancel Ambush) — Cancel the Early Morning Ambush timer and stop an Ambush message from being sent to the receiver. Faulting the zone takes the place of a second user code being entered at the keypad and is only available for non-fire type zones. Area assignment for the zone does not affect this option. See Early Morning Ambush in Area Information.

Output Number

Enter any Relay Output number to be activated by a zone condition. The default is 0.

The output can be activated regardless of the Report to Transmit and if the zone is programmed as local. An output activated by an armed zone is turned off when the zone area is disarmed by a user.

Output Action

Select one of the following output actions to assign to the relay:

• STD (Steady) — The output turns on and remains on until the area is disarmed, an output cutoff time expires, or the output is reset from the keypad menu.

• PLS (Pulse) — The output alternates one second on and one second off.

• MOM (Momentary) — The output turns on once for one second.

• FOLW (Follow) — The output turns on and remains on while the zone is in an off normal or bad condition. When the zone restores, the output turns off. For Day zone types, when an output turns on, a user code with silence authority can turn the output off.

Swinger Bypass

📍 Displays for any Zone Type except Blank and Arming

NO — Disable this option.

YES — Allow the zone to be swinger bypassed by the panel according to the specifications programmed in Swinger Bypass Trips and Reset Swinger Bypass. The Bypass condition displays in the keypad Status List.

• The area zone is assigned in is disarmed.

• The zone is manually reset through Bypass Zones? in the User Menu.

• The zone remains normal for one hour and Reset Swinger Bypass is set to Yes.

If the zone trips fewer than the specified times within one hour, the bypass trip counter returns to 0 and the process should be repeated. A report of the swinger bypass is sent to the receiver if Bypass Reports is set to Yes.

Zone Retard Delay

📍 Displays if Zone Type is Panic, Supervisory, Auxiliary 1, and Auxiliary 2

NO — Disable this option.
