Zone Response Type Definitions
General Information
During programming, you must assign a zone type to each zone, which defines the way in which the system
responds to faults in that zone. Zone types are defined below.
Type Function Characteristics
Not Used Used to program a zone that is not used. •None
Entry/Exit 1
(Burglary)
Usually assigned to sensors or contacts on
primary entry and exit doors.
•Entry delay #1 is programmable.
•Exit delay is independently programmable.
•Exit and entry delays when armed in AWAY or STAY mode.
•No entry delay when armed in STAY INSTANT or AWAY
INSTANT mode.
•Exit delay regardless of the arming mode selected.
Entry/Exit 2
(Burglary)
Usually assigned to sensors or contacts on
secondary entry and exit doors that might be
further from the keypad (typically used for a
garage, loading dock, or basement door).
•Entry delay #2 is programmable.
•Exit delay is independently programmable.
•Secondary entry delay, if armed in the AWAY or STAY mode.
•No entry delay when armed in the STAY INSTANT or AWAY
INSTANT mode.
•Exit delay begins regardless of the arming mode selected.
Perimeter
(Burglary) Usually assigned to all sensors or contacts on
exterior doors and windows
•Instant alarm, when armed in AWAY, STAY, STAY NO DELAY,
or AWAY INSTANT mode.
Interior, Follower
Usually assigned to a zone covering an entry
area (i.e.: foyer, lobby, or hallway) that one
must pass upon entry (after faulting the
entry/exit zone) to reach the keypad. It provides
an instant alarm if the entry/exit zone is not
violated first, and protects an area in the event
an intruder has hidden on the premises before
the system is armed, or gains access to the
premises through an unprotected area.
•Delayed alarm (using the programmed entry/exit time) if
entry/exit (types 01 or 02) or interior-with-delay (type 10) zone is
faulted first.
•Instant alarm in all other situations.
•Active when armed in AWAY or AWAY INSTANT mode.
•Bypassed automatically when armed in STAY or STAY
INSTANT mode.
Trouble by Day/
Alarm by Night
Usually assigned to a zone that covers a
sensitive area (i.e.: stock room, drug supply
room, etc.) It can also be used on a sensor or
contact in an area where immediate notification
of an entry is desired.
•Instant alarm, when armed in AWAY, STAY, STAY INSTANT, or
AWAY INSTANT (night) mode.
•Provides a latched trouble sounding from the keypad and, if
desired, a central station report when disarmed (day).
24-hour Silent
Alarm Usually assigned to a zone containing an
Emergency button (silent emergency).
•Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad
display or sounding.
•In disarmed state sends a report to the central station displays
"Not Ready to Arm" on the keypad and “AWAY”, “STAY” and
“TOOLS” buttons are disabled.
24-hour Audible
Alarm Usually assigned to a zone containing an
Emergency button (audible emergency).
•Follows sounder timeout
•Sends a report to the central station, and provides alarm sounds
at the keypad.
24-hour
Auxiliary Alarm
Usually assigned to a zone containing a
button for use in personal emergencies or to
a zone containing monitoring devices (i.e.:
water or temperature sensors, etc.).
•Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm
sound at the keypad. (There is no keypad timeout.)
Fire No
Verification
Can be assigned to any wireless zone used as
a fire zone. This zone type is always active and
cannot be bypassed.
•Alarm sound will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.
Interior with Delay
Bypassed when the panel is armed in the STAY
or STAY INSTANT mode.
•Entry delay #1 (with programmed entry time) when armed in the
AWAY mode.
•Entry delay begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated,
regardless of whether an entry/exit delay zone was tripped first.
•No entry delay when armed in the AWAY INSTANT mode.
•Exit delay regardless of the arming mode selected.
Monitor Can be assigned to any wireless zone used for
asset protection. Works as a dynamic monitor
of a zone fault/trouble (not alarm).
•No reports to the central station.
•Fault/restore events are logged by the system.
•Activity Zone No. and Zone Descriptor displayed on LCD.
•Restore will be stored in event log.
•No keypad sounding or chime
•System can still be armed
24-hour Carbon
Monoxide Monitor Can be assigned to any wireless zone with a
carbon monoxide detector. This zone type is
always active and cannot be bypassed.
•Local keypad and detector will sound when this zone type is
alarmed. (Pulse Temporal 4)
