1.1.2. Zone 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.

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 and 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 System options, page 67) 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.

Camera Count Zone types (Types 23-26 and 36-39) must always be connected directly

to the ATS control panel zones and not to DGP zones.
