Area Status
System Link also shows the arm/disarm status of all areas assigned to the panel and allows
you to select and arm/disarm each area individually. Whenever you open the Area Status
window, System Link downloads the arm/disarm status of each area from the panel and
displays that information in the Area Status window.
To open the Area Status window, select Panel
> System Status and click on the Areas
button.
In the Area Status window you may also select
the Bypass, Force, or Refuse options for
faulted zones in each area. The Area Status
window shows a list with four columns.
Partition : The partition where the area is
located. This option does not appear on the
XR500 Series or XR100 Series panels.
Area : The number of the area.
Name : The name assigned to the area.
Current Status : The current arm/disarm status
of the area.
Desired Action: Select Arm or Disarm from the drop-down menu to change the status of
the selected area.
How to Arm and Disarm
The Area Status window contains a list of programmed areas and partitions for the panel
and their current arm/disarm status. It also shows the Bypass, Force, and Refuse
options in the Bad Zone Action menu, and the Arm/Disarm and OK buttons.
To arm or disarm an active area, select that area from the Area Status list and click on the
arrow to open the drop-down menu, as shown in the picture above. Select Arm or Disarm
form the drop-down list. Click on the Arm/Disarm button near the bottom of the window
to send that information to the panel.
When you arm or disarm an area, a window appears to notify you of successful arming or
disarming.
