Table 10 - Zone Types - Miscellaneous Settings
An Entry door zone type starts an entry delay if the door is open when
the system is armed. In the Final Door arming method, it also
terminates the exit time when it is closed during arming to Away mode.
Each Zone Type can be defined as Normally open or closed. Most
security sensors are Normally closed. Normally Open and Closed
contacts cannot share the same zone.
The sensitivity of the zone (i.e. the minimum time which the sensor
needs to be tripped before considering it a valid activation) is defined
by the Zone Type. The sensitivity setting is coded from 1 to 7 as in
Table 11.
(( For UL installations, zone sensitivity should be set at 500 ms.
