Zone Types
The following types are available:
00 Not Used (NU) The system ignores Zones with this type. Key in 00 for
a zone that will not be used.
Note: If a zone is programmed as ‘Not Used’, it is not necessary to link the
circuit or anti-tamper connections.
Option Zone Type
01 Panic Alarm (PA) - Operating a device programmed as ‘Panic Alarm’
will start either a silent alarm transmission to the ARC, or an audible
alarm, depending on how you have programmed PA Response, (see
Command 30). PA alarms operate whether the system is set or unset.
02 Fire (FR) - Smoke or heat detectors connected to FR type zones
cause the speakers to give a distinctive fire signal (internal sounders
pulsing “Dee Dah Dee Dah...”). Fire alarms operate whether the
system is set or unset, and will always trigger communications if fitted.
03 Normal Alarm (NA) - A zone programmed as ‘Normal Alarm’ will start
an alarm when the system is set.
04 24 Hr Zone (24) - This zone causes an internal alarm if violated when
the system is unset, and a full alarm if the system is set. Providing the
Installer programs 24hr zones with ‘Omit Allow’, the user can omit 24
hour zones in Day mode. Note that the control unit re-instates all 24Hr
zones if anyone sets the system.
05 Final Exit (FE) - Zones of this type must be the last detector to be
activated on exit, or the first to be activated on entry. You can use
zones of this type to finally set the system, or to start the entry
procedure. Use Command 39 to set the exit mode type.
