A 24 hour zone is always active irrespective of the Off,
Away, Night, Day settings. The Instant, Alert, Perimeter and
Inactive settings do not apply if a Zone is defined as
24-hour. 24 hour zones cannot be bypassed. A zone type
can be Instant in all 4 modes, but still have the 24 hour
setting OFF to allow bypassing

The Sensitivity setting determines how long a zone has to
be activated before it is considered a genuine trip. A higher
setting prevents false alarms, while a lower setting allows
for detection of short action sensors like vibration sensors.

Table 8 - Zone Types - Security Mode Assignments
Each Zone Type is defined as Inactive, Alert, Perimeter, or Instant for
each of the Security Modes (Security off, Away, Night, Day). The Zone
Types (Security Mode Settings) table gives the default assignments for
each Security Mode and how to change them using Locations.
Instant/Alert/Perimeter Zoning for False Alarm Filtering
The system has an advanced mechanism to help filter false alarms.
Each Zone Type has one of 4 zone activation modes - Inactive, Instant,
Alert and Perimeter. An Inactive Zone setting does not cause any alarm
when tripped. An Instant Zone activates its assigned Alarm Type when
it is tripped. An Alert Zone causes the system to go into Alert State
when tripped. If another non-Inactive zone is tripped (but not the same
zone) within the next 10 minutes, an Intruder Alarm is activated. A
Perimeter Zone causes the system to also go into Alert State. Tripping
of an Alert or Instant zone, but not another Perimeter zone within the
next 10 minutes will cause an Intruder Alarm to be activated. Each zone
