1-Zone database
Zone Database
Zone:
In this programming section all parameters are programmed regarding the zones.
Each zone is a physical input on the control panel, a DGP or a plug-in expander.
Zone number
Select the appropriate zone number to program. Every zone has a number
between 1 and 256, depending on the location in the system.
Note: A list of zone numbers can be found with the Advisor Master Installation
Guide.
Zone settings
Zone type
1: Type 3; Entry Exit Alarm
Type
The zone type determines exactly how the zone will function in given
circumstances. Each zone type will behave differently. Most zone types require
an area, but zone types that affect the status of areas (zone types 6, 31, 34, 35)
need alarm groups.
Caution: The zone type is important and influences much of the remaining
programming and functions of the system. Consequently, you must take
considerable care when programming zone types.
Armed or disarmed
Armed or disarmed apply to the status of an area. If an area is armed, certain
zone types will go into alarm when the zone is activated. Other zone types only
go into alarm when the area is disarmed.
Tamper alarms
When the dual zone option (see “7-System options”, page 70) is set to Yes, a
short or open circuit on most zone types will generate a tamper alarm. If set to
No, an open or short circuit is the same as an activated zone.
Zone types that are not used to generate alarms do not generate tamper alarms,
e.g. technical or camera zone types.
Entry/exit times
Where entry/exit times are referred to, the time used is the longest entry/exit time
programmed for any of the areas assigned to the zone.
