Burglary Zones
10.1 Description
On XR20/XR40 panels, terminals 12 to 24 are the nine burglary zones. For programming purposes, the zone 
numbers are 1 to 9. The zone conÞ gurations on terminals 12 to 24 are described below. The XRSuper6 
terminals 12 to 18 are the Þ ve burglary zones with terminal 16 providing the ground for zone 5 (terminal 18).
 Terminal  Function  Terminal  Function
  12  Zone 1 voltage sensing  19  Ground for zones 5 & 6 
  13  Ground for zones 1 & 2  20  Zone 6 voltage sensing
  14  Zone 2 voltage sensing  21  Zone 7 voltage sensing
  15  Zone 3 voltage sensing  22  Ground for zones 7, 8, & 9
  16  Ground for zones 3 & 4 (& 5 on XRSuper6)  23  Zone 8 voltage sensing
  17  Zone 4 voltage sensing  24  Zone 9 voltage sensing
  18  Zone 5 voltage sensing
The voltage sensing terminal measures the voltage ß owing through the 1k Ohm End-of-Line resistor to the 
zone’s ground terminal. Dry contact sensing devices can be used in series (normally-closed) or in parallel 
(normally-open) with any of the burglary protection zones.
10.2 Operational Parameters
Each burglary protection zone detects three conditions: open, normal, and short. 
The parameters for each are listed below:
 Condition  Resistance on zone  Voltage on right terminal
    Open  over 1300 ohms  over 2.0 VDC
   Normal  600 to 1300 ohms  1.2 to 2.0 VDC
    Short  under 600 ohms  under 1.2 VDC

10.3  Zone Response Time
A condition must be present on a zone for 500 milliseconds before it is detected by the panel. Ensure 
detection devices used on the protec tion zones are rated for use with this delay.
10.4  Keyswitch Arming Zone
You can use a momentary keyswitch on a zone programmed as an Arming type for use in arming and 
disarming the system without a code.
