D4. Flood Zone
A flood zone is permanently active (a flood alarm is
triggered regardless of whether the system is armed or
disarmed). Upon detection of flood leak, the event is
reported via the telephone line.
D5. Gas Zone
A gas zone is permanently active (a gas alarm is triggered
regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed).
Upon detection of gas leak, the event is reported via the
telephone line.
D6. Interior Zone
Interior zone is a zone inside the protected site. When an
intruder enters to such a zone an immediate alarm is
initiated.
D7. Interior Follower Zones
A non-entry/exit zone, typically an interior zone located on
an entry/exit path that is treated as an entry/exit zone
during an entry/exit time.
D8. Non-Alarm Zones
A non-alarm zone does not directly participate in the alarm
system. Its main use is to perform auxiliary remote control
tasks such as opening/closing a gate,
activating/deactivating courtesy light and similar
applications. No alarm, silent or otherwise, is associated
with a non-alarm zone.
For remote control of electrical devices, you can define the
desired number of non-alarm zones and enroll a portable
transmitter or a wireless device (detector) to this type of
zone. Then, you must ensure that these zones are
permitted to control the PGM output, or the X-10 units or
both (see par. 4.7). Next, you can select the zones (3 at
most) that will control each output. The outputs, in turn, will
control the external electrical devices.
Note: A device control can also be carried out by holders
of all keyfob transmitters, by pressing the AUX [ϕ] button.
This method will work provided that you programmed the
[ϕ] button for PGM/X-10 control (see Para. 4.4.17), and
that you programmed the PGM output and the X-10 units
to be controlled by keyfob transmitters (see par. 4.7).
D9. Perimeter Zones
Perimeter zones rely on detectors designed to protect
doors, windows and walls. An immediate alarm is initiated
when such a zone is violated by opening the door/window
or by trying to break the wall.
D10. Perimeter Follower Zones
A non-entry/exit zone, typically a perimeter zone located on
an entry/exit path, that is treated as an entry/exit zone
during an entry/exit time.
D11. 24-Hour Zones
24 hour zones are mainly used for PANIC buttons,
perimeter detectors and anti-tamper protection. They
therefore trigger an alarm in both armed and disarmed
states.
• 24 Hour Zone - Silent. - Upon detection, this zone
initiates a silent alarm, meaning that the sirens do not
function. Instead the Abbra dials telephone numbers and
reports the event to central stations and/or to private
telephones, as programmed.
• 24 Hour Zone - Audible. - Upon detection, this zone
initiates a siren alarm. The Abbra also dials telephone
numbers and reports the event to central stations and/or
to private telephones, as programmed.
APPENDIX E. Abbra Compatible Devices
E1. Abbra Compatible Detectors
Each detector compatible with the Abbra system is packed
with its own installation instructions. Read them carefully
and install as indicated.
A. PIR Motion Detectors
The wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors used
in the system are of the PowerCode type. The Abbra is
capable of “learning” each detector’s identification code
and linking it to a specific zone (see par. 4.3 in this Guide).
Some units are shown below:

MCPIR-3000 is not UL-listed!
Note: K-940 MCW, Discovery K9-80/MCW and <Next>
®
K9-85 MCW are pet immune units.
In addition to its unique 24-bit identification code, each
detector transmits a message, containing status
information:
• The detector is in alarm (or not).
• The detector is being tampered with (or not).
• The battery voltage is low (or normal).
• “This is a supervisory message”.
If any of these detectors detects motion, it sends out a
message to the alarm control panel. If the system is in the
armed state, an alarm will be triggered.
B. Magnetic Contact Transmitter
MCT-302 is a PowerCode magnetic-
contact transmitter used to detect the
opening of a door or a window. The alarm
contacts are closed as long as the door or
window remains closed.
MCT-302
The unit has an extra alarm input that acts as if it were a
separate wireless transmitter. It sends (or does not send) a
“restored to normal“ message to the alarm system,
depending on the setting of an on-board “DIP” switch. The
“restore” message informs you, through the control panel’s
display, whether the door or window is open or closed.
C. MCT-100 Wireless Adapter for Wired
Detectors
(not UL-Listed) MCT-100 is a PowerCode
device used mainly as a wireless adapter
for 2 regular magnetic switches installed on
2 windows in the same room. It has two
inputs, behaving as separate wireless
transmitters with different PowerCode IDs.
Each input sends (or does not send) a
“restored“ message to the alarm system,
