52 - Zones (cont’d)
2 = Descriptor
Each zone can be assigned with an alpha-numeric description of up to 16 characters (see Table 16, Zone
Text Characters). The descriptor is assembled from the character set in this table. On selecting the
Descriptor attribute, the currently assigned descriptor (blank by default) is displayed on the top line. Each of
the keys on the keypad, when pressed, offers a choice of character on the bottom line. Press the key repeat-
edly to choose a character. A two-second delay accepts the character and the flashing cursor moves on. Press
and hold down the * key to delete all the characters to the left or highlight a character and press the # key to
delete a single character.
For a full description of how to use this function, refer to Text Programming.
3 = Soak Test
Soak test. This option allows the zone to be placed in a test mode for the programmed number of days (maxi-
mum 14). If the zone is activated when it would normally have caused an alarm, then a soak event is recorded
in the log and no alarm is generated. The soak test days will be reset to the start. If no activations occur each
day, then the number of days are decreased by one, each day at midnight. If the counter reaches 0 days, then
the zone is reinstated fully into the system and normal alarm operation is resumed.
4 = Omit Enable
If the omit attribute is set to 1 = Enabled, a user with the appropriate authorization can manually omit a zone
from the system. It has no bearing on the force omit for re-arm/re-instatement. Manually omitted zones are
omitted for one set period only.
5 = RF Options
These options allow the zone to be set up with a wireless detector.
There are six options selectable with this attribute:
1. Serial number
This allows the detector’s unique serial number to be entered by typing the number or by using the auto-learn
function. To use the auto-learn, press * and when prompted, activate the detector’s tamper switch. On learn-
ing, the signal strength is displayed.
2. Loop number
On 5800 series detectors, this selects the loop input to be used on this zone.
3. Supervision
This enables or disables supervision of the wireless detector.
4. Auto reset
The Auto reset function can be enabled to force the zone to automatically close after five seconds, if no close
signal is received from the transmitter. This will be useful on certain installations.
5. Last signal
This shows the strength of the last signal received from this detector for V2 peripherals; 5800 series detectors
will not show that signal strength.
6. Lowest signal
Lowest Signal will show the lowest signal strength received from that device since records were reset in menu
61. This is for V2 peripherals only; 5800 series detectors will not show this signal strength.
NOTE: If two receivers are fitted, both signals will be shown. If only one receiver is fitted, the reading for
that receiver only will be shown. The receiver not fitted will show a reading of 0, eg. 9/0.
