Inhibit Mode
This option is used for temporarily isolating troublesome zones (doors,
windows, movement detectors, etc.) which may be preventing the system
from setting. Zones/doors may be inhibited singly or in blocks.
✍ The problem zone/door will be indicated on the display,
e.g. Zone 3 Tamper, Door 4 Open. Inhibit Mode provides
two identical sub-menus, for zones and doors. Use the
appropriate sub-menu to implement the inhibit.
If zones/doors have been inhibited, on selection of FULL set mode, a
message will indicate how many are inhibited.
Selection of this option is logged by the system and an asterisk appears
beside the log entry to indicate the zone has been inhibited manually
(zone may also be inhibited via literal commands). The identity of the
user to select the option is also logged.
Operation
Having entered the user CODE and then pressed the NO key, the display
will read "INHIBIT FROM 1". Enter the number of the first zone to be
inhibited followed by . The next displayed message is "INHIBIT TO
1".
Enter the number of the last zone in the block to be inhibited. This will be
the same as the first zone if only one zone is required. After the second
parameter has been entered the display will show "n INHIBITS" where n
is the number of zones/doors inhibited) and the buzzer will sound briefly
before returning to UNSET mode displaying the date and time.
The INHIBIT function can be re-entered any number of times to inhibit
more zones/doors, existing inhibited zones/doors will not be affected.
Clear Inhibits
To clear inhibits, re-enter Inhibit Mode using the engineer code followed
by the NO key. The message "CLEAR ALL INHIBITS ?" will appear in the
display. Press YES to clear the inhibited zones. Press NO to inhibit more
zones or to view those zones which are already inhibited.
Unset/Reset
When the system is unset after a full set (i.e. the next day), zone inhibits are automatically removed.
