systems. Typical applications are tamper switches on Post Indicator Valves (PIVs), gate valves,
and low and high temperature gauges.
Fire (FI): Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications
are for smoke detectors, sprinkler flowswitches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors.
Retard, cross zoning, and pre-signal options are available for the Fire zone type.
Fire Verify (FV): Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual
fire condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Sensor Reset. If
any Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If
an alarm is initiated after another 120 seconds, the cycle is repeated.
Open / Close (OC): This iCOMsl zone type allows the iCOMsl to send a Closing message to the
central station when the zone shorts. When an Open / Close zone returns to a normal state, the
iCOMsl reports an Opening message to the central station. Open /Close zones do not trigger alarm
outputs, nor do they arm or disarm zones: They simply send an Open / Close message to the
central station receiver.
Enable (EN): Enable zones allow the iCOMsl to activate specified zones as desired. When an
Enable zone is programmed, the Enable zone must be tripped (open or shorted) before zones with
a higher number can transmit a message. Enable zones only activate or deactivate higher zones:
They do not report messages to the central station or trigger alarm output.
Burglary / Fire combination (BF): Burglary / Fire zones allow the iCOMsl to communicate a
message as a burglary or a fire zone. In a Burglary / Fire zone, any steady 12 to 24 VDC input or a
short longer than three seconds is reported as a burglary alarm. If the input voltage oscillates to
create a Fire Pulse input, the iCOMsl reports a fire alarm to the central station. The iCOMsl
reports burglary alarms on zone 6 and fire alarm messages as zone 7.
Note: Burglary / Fire zones must be connected to zone 6 of the iCOMsl. Burglary / Fire zones
must be attached to the bell output of a panel.
Arming Zone (AR): This zone allows you to connect a keyswitch on a zone and use it to arm and
disarm one or more areas within a partition. In the XR200 and XR2400F version 112 and higher, and
the XR200-485 version 206 and higher, when connecting to a light sensor, using Maintain with Retard
Delay will allow arming at dusk and disarming at dawn, ignoring momentary changes in light intensity,
such as shadows or headlights.
AR Style: When programming an Arming zone, some panels allow you to select an Arming Style. This
allows for different actions of the arming zones.
The options in the AR Style menu are:
Toggle: When the zone changes from normal to shorted, the programmed areas toggle between
the armed or disarmed condition. When restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is
opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported. When opened from a shorted
(armed) state, an alarm is reported and the zone is disabled until you disarm the area(s) from
either a keypad or Remote Link computer.
Arm: When the zone is shorted, the programmed areas are armed. When restored to normal, no
action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a trouble is reported.
When opened from a shorted (armed) state, an alarm is reported.
Disarm: When programmed as an Area system, a short will disarm the programmed areas. When
programmed as an All/Perimeter or Home/Away system, a short will disarm all areas. When
restored to normal, no action occurs. When the zone is opened from a normal (disarmed) state, a
trouble is reported.
