User guide

• Keyswitch Toggle: Each time this zone is closed, it will toggle the armed state of the panel. It has a 300 ms response time. No alarms

or trouble conditions are generated by a zone of this type. Optionally, to support this feature, the panel will generate a single siren beep

for arm actions and a double beep for disarm actions. Note: If “Auto Bypass” is enabled (Address 10), Keyswitch Toggle will force arm a

“Not Ready” zone.

• Keyswitch On/Off: When this zone is closed, it will arm the panel. When it is shunted by an EOL (supervised), the panel will be disarmed.

No alarms or trouble conditions will be generated by a zone of this type. Opening the zone will not affect the arming state of the control.

When this option is selected, keypads can not be used to arm or disarm the system unless the keyswitch zone is manually bypassed, prior

to arming the system, from the keypad. If the keyswitch zone is bypassed, any keypad can perform all arming and disarming functions.

Note: If “Auto Bypass” is enabled (Address 10), Keyswitch On/Off will force arm a “Not Ready” zone.

• 24-Hour Fire with Verification: If a fire zone alarms and it is programmed for verification, the control will interrupt the programmable

output(s) set as a switched power return for 10 seconds. During the 10 second power interruption, and for 15 seconds after power restoral,

it will ignore all zone status on all fire zones (to ignore inrush currents). After fifteen seconds, it will monitor all fire zones for two minutes.

If any fire zone returns to alarm within the two minute window it will create a fire alarm condition. If a fire zone does not go into alarm within

the two minute window it will disregard the initial trip. If another alarm occurs on a fire zone with verification after the two minutes, it will

start the process over. After any fire zone is in alarm, all subsequent fire zones are treated as instant (no verification) until the next fire

reset. This same procedure will be performed when a [SYSTEM RESET] is entered, except that the two minute instant alarm monitoring

period is not observed.

Since alarm and trouble reporting to the central station for fire zones is the same as for burg zones (i.e. it is based on the state of the zone)

it is possible for Fire, and Fire Trouble restoral signals to be transmitted even though the panel may still be displaying these zone condi-

tions. This is because the displays are latched until cleared by an operator action.

NOTE: The use of the controls fire alarm verification feature may not be permitted in some areas. Check your local fire/building codes.

• Fire: This zone is active and will alarm all 24 hours of the day regardless of the arming state of the control. An alarm on a fire zone will

be silenced by entering a disarm code whether the control is armed or not. If the fire zone restores and alarms again the alarm will sound

again. An open during the armed or disarmed period will send a trouble report and not an alarm. Fire zones are never silent, invisible, or

swinger shunted. All fire zones that have alarmed will continue to show on all keypads until a fire reset is performed, even if they have

physically restored. Fire zones may not be bypassed using the BYPASS command.

NOTE: If force arming is enabled (see programming address 10), force arming is possible when the fire zone is violated (shorted).

7.2 Address 02 - Zone Bypass

This determines whether the user can bypass the zone. Zones programmed for bypassing can be bypassed even when in alarm. Fire zones

will not be bypassable, even if programmed as bypass allowed.

7.3 Address 03 - Zone Action

NOTE: Fire zones should always be programmed as alarm on short, trouble on open (selection 1).
