Reference
number
Test type name Description
4 Set E/Flag 13
During Disarm
Test:
Program a zone with test type 4 to event flag 13 during the disarm test.
This test type is used for testing devices activated by disarmed alarm
zone types (e.g.: Hold-up buttons). The device must already be
programmed to be activated by disarmed alarm event flag 13.
5 Set Pre-Alarm
During Disarm
Test
Program a zone with test type 5 to activate the pre-alarm event flag
during the disarm test in the area(s) assigned to the zone.
This test type is used to test devices that are activated during the
delayed hold-up time (e.g.: a discreetly placed LED that indicates to the
user that the hold-up button is active).
The pre-alarm event flag number is programmed in the Area database
on page 36.
6 Frequently used
detector
Program a zone with test type 6 during a Remote Diagnostic session to
determine which zone has not been triggered during the last 6 hours
after the last arming.
1.1.15. Zone Event flag
You can program event flags that are
activated by a zone. Up to 15 event flags can be assigned to an individual zone.
An event flag is activated when the zone is in alarm (except for the zone event flag).
The circumstances that cause a zone to generate an alarm depend on the zone type.
The event flags activated by an alarm depend on:
• Which event flags have been assigned to the zone.
• Whether the active time of the event flags corresponds with the alarm time. Event
flags can be active:
- 24 hours
- When disarmed only (when one or more of the areas assigned to the zone is
disarmed)
- When armed only (when all the areas assigned to the zone are armed)
• Whether the option "Make All Events 24 Hour" has been set to YES. If so, the
active period is 24 hours for all event flags.
• Zone types 0, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31, 34, 35, 36, 37,
38, 39, 48, 49, 50, 51,52, 53, 54 and 55 do not activate any of the event flags.
• Zone types 7, 16, 18, 27, 48, 49, 50, 51,52, 53, 54 and 55 only activate the zone
event type.
For further information on event flags, see Event Flags on page 151.
 How to program event flags
The zone event flag is programmed with a value between 17 and 255.
 Event flag numbers 1 – 16 are pre-defined. Do not use these event flags
elsewhere in the system, even if they are not used for zones. See also
Event Flags on page 151.
