8 XR500 User’s Guide Introduction
If the alarm is from a 24-hour zone or a system monitor, it remains
in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed burglary
zones trip at the same time, the last one to trip remains in the
Status List. This is to ensure that if a burglary has occurred the last
zone tripped remains displayed even if it has been restored.
View Zone Status
To view disarmed zones that are in fault, press any Select key when
the status list displays.
Zone
A zone refers to one or more protected openings (doors or windows)
or pro tection devices (motion or glassbreak detectors) grouped
together under the same zone name and number.
Often, similar devices in the same general area share the same
zone. For example, the windows on the east side of the premises
can all be grouped together in a zone named E. WINDOWS.
Instant Zone
Interior protection devices and perimeter devices, such as exterior
windows, passive infrared detectors (PIR), and non entry doors,
are typically not programmed with delay times. If these zones are
tripped while the system is armed, an alarm instantly occurs.
24-hour Zone
A 24-hour zone is not turned on or off by arming or disarm ing your
system. Some examples of 24-hour zones are Þ re zones, panic
zones, and temperature control zones.
Entry or Exit zone
Almost all systems have one or more doors through which you can
access the premises. These doors are programmed with a delay
time to allow you to enter or exit without setting off the alarm.
When you arm the system, activity on this zone is ignored until the
exit delay time expires. Once that time has expired and the system
is fully armed, opening the door causes the panel to start the entry
delay time. During the entry delay time, you must enter a valid
user code to disarm the system or an alarm will occur.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the armed or
dis armed status of your system on the Security Command keypads.
Alarm or trouble con ditions on a zone or a system monitor such
as AC or battery trouble can also display. There are two types of
status information available: Armed Status and Status List.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed
condition of areas within your security system. Refer to Checking
Armed Areas for information about checking the armed areas.
Keypads that include an Armed LED, have the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
a zone, and any trouble condition on an internal system monitor.
The system monitors include the AC power, battery power, panel
box tamper, printer, and phone lines. If more than one alarm or
trouble condition occurs at the same time, the keypad sequences
this information on its display.
