Area:
18. AREAS ASSIGNED TO VAULTS
Vault areas are areas that will automatically arm other areas after a preset time once they
are armed. A user that has the vault areas in his alarm group arms the vault areas. The
time starts only if all vault areas are armed. The user does not need to have alarm control
over the areas that are automatically armed.
By using a special programming procedure, an
alarm group restriction timer starts when all
the vault areas are armed. When the timer
expires, a non-vault area linked to the vault
areas will automatically arm.
For example: A building has three office areas (areas 3, 4 and 5), a common foyer (area
1) and a common canteen (area 2). Assigning the office areas as vaults allows the foyer
and the canteen to be armed at a set time after the last office is armed.
Other programming to be done:
• Areas (3, 4 and 5) must be assigned to vaults on this option.
• Set Disable auto insert of alarm group restriction to NO in System Options (page 67).
• The areas to be timed on (1 and 2) must be linked to the areas designated as vaults
in Area linking (page 109) (areas 1 and 2 linked to areas 3, 4 and 5).
• The linked areas not assigned as vaults (area 1 & 2) must be included in a alarm
group restriction to Timed disarm areas in Alarm group restrictions (page 100).
• The delay time required for the areas to on arms is programmed in Timers (page 61)
as alarm group restriction disarmed time. Use the same alarm group restriction as
above.
• The alarm group restriction is then inserted into the necessary alarm groups
(Assigned to users/RAS’s) to enable the function to be used. The alarm group must
include the area(s) assigned to the alarm group restriction if the restrictions are to
operate.
