13-Timezones
Timezones are used to create timeslots in which certain events can take place.
Timezones are for example used to automatically arm areas, disable users or to
activate outputs to open a door.
Timezones are assigned to alarm groups, door groups, floor groups,
relays/outputs, arm/disarm timers, and Out of Hours Access reporting to
restrict/enable some ATS operations during specific time periods.
There are two main types of timezone. However, both have the same function.
Timezones programmed for specific timeperiods - as detailed in this menu option
(numbers 0 to 24). Also called hard timezones.
Timezones programmed to be valid when a relay is active (numbers 26-41). See
Programming menu option “22-Timezone to follow output” on page 134. Also
called soft timezones.
Note: Timezone 0 (zero) is a 24-hour timezone (always valid) and is not
programmable.
Timezone 25 is a special soft timezone that is valid as long as the "Service Tech"
is enabled, and can be used to control functions required during that period. For
further information see “Service time available” on page 64 in “6-Timers”, and
"Enable/Disable Service Tech" in Advisor Master Manager Manual.
Timezones are numbered 1 to 24.
Each timezone is made up of four sub-timezones, each containing a different
start and end time, the weekdays the sub-timezone is valid on and an option to
make a sub-timezone valid on holidays.
Where the start time for a timezone is on a different day to the end time,
consecutive sub-timezones have to be used.
A time of 24:00 or 00:00 is not recognised as an end time and can therefore be
used to extend a valid period to the next sub-timezone.
The timezone becomes valid beginning at the start time on any day listed in the
same sub-timezone.
The timezone becomes invalid (stops) at the end time on any day listed in the
same sub-timezone.
A timezone is invalid on any holiday that has been declared in the holiday date
file (User menu 21) unless HOL is included as a day in the sub timezone. If HOL
is included, the timezone is valid on any holiday (even if the day of the week that
it falls on is not included in the sub-zone).
