2. Introduction to the IDS X-Series
Thank you for purchasing an IDS Alarm Panel.
The IDS X-Series alarm is a versatile, Bylaw 25 compliant, expandable Alarm Panel. It comes in two versions,
X16 and X64. Both have up to 8 partitions and can have 8 keypads. The X16 can be expanded from 8 to16 zone
and the X64 from 8 to 64 zones. Most features are configurable and may be programmed directly through a
keypad or via serial PC connection or telephone system, using the IDSwift Download Software and appropriate
modem (P/N: 860-36-0001).
There are up to 64 programmable burglary zones on the X64, 16 programmable burglary zones on the X16. A
dedicated panic zone, monitored siren output, auxiliary power output, and 5 onboard programmable outputs
expandable to 25 on the X64, which may be programmed to perform various, trigger/switching functions are
available.
For correct operation, the IDS X-series panels must be used in conjunction with the specified transformer /
battery combination (ask your sales representative for a copy of the IDS Power Budget spreadsheet to identify
your needs) and appropriate peripheral sensors and signalling devices.
NOTE:
X-SERIES products are not compatible with any previous IDS products, such as the IDS816 and IDS1632.
Features of the IDS X-Series
Zones and Partitions:
8 onboard zones, expandable to 16 onboard zones with a X-series 8-zone Plug-in Expander

3. Installation and Wiring
Please refer to:
Figure 1: Connection Diagram without Tamper per Zone and familiarise yourself with the following sections.
*The kick start jumper must be in-circuit when using only a battery (i.e. no AC). Simply short the pins out
with a screwdriver, or use a jumper. Remove the short/jumper once the Panel Status LED lights up
(indicating power up), as leaving it on disables the low battery cut-out.*
Figure 1: Connection Diagram without Tamper per Zone

Installation Requirements
A suitable transformer with an output voltage of 16 Vac ±10% with a 32VA minimum rating must be
used. A 48VA transformer is recommended.
A 12V sealed lead acid battery with a minimum capacity of 7AH must be used. The backup period after
mains failure will depend on the number of keypads, sensors, and bus-wired peripheral devices
connected to the system.
Connect a 12V self-driven siren or piezo siren (not a horn speaker) to the siren output.
The panel can supply a total continuous current of 750mA to bus-wired peripheral devices such as
keypads, remotes, receivers, passives etc; from Aux 12V terminals.
End-of-Line Resistors
All zones, including Panic zones, are end-of-line supervised.
All zones, whether they are used or unused, need to be terminated with a 3K3 resistor (resistor colour-
code is orange, orange, red, gold).
For maximum security, the end-of-line resistor must be placed inside or as close to the sensor as
possible.
For tamper by zone, 4K7 and 12K end-of- line resistors must be connected instead of a single 3K3
resistor.
If the panel is unarmed and a tamper condition occurs, the siren will not sound but a tamper condition
will be reported if it is enabled to do so. See Table 40 to enable/disable this option.
If the panel is armed and a tamper condition occurs, an audible alarm will register, and a tamper
condition AND zone violation will be reported.
Box Tamper Input
The box tamper input does not require an end-of-line resistor, but does require a normally closed contact. The
panel is shipped with the box tamper input bypassed with tamper. To use it, remove the jumper and connect a
normally closed contact onto the terminals. Refer to Figure 1: Connection Diagram without Tamper per Zone
for the box tamper position on the Alarm Panel.
Connecting the Telephone Communicator - Advanced
Refer to: Figure 1: Connection Diagram without Tamper per Zone
For optimum lightning protection, connect a low resistance earth to the communicator earth input.
Always connect the telephone communicator in line seizure mode and never in parallel with the
telephone.
Ensure the telephone receiver is connected to the communicator terminals marked “phone” and the
incoming line to the terminals marked “line”.
Programmable Outputs
An IDS Relay Board (P/N: 861-004) must be used when any device requiring a current greater than 50mA is
connected to a programmable output. The programmable output circuitry consists of a 12V source with a 56 Ω
series resistor. Current sink is via a 1, 000 Ωresistor to ground. The maximum output voltage is 13.6Vdc. The
maximum output current is 50mA. Programmable outputs are primarily connected for radio transmitter.
However, they are also used for connecting, LEDs, sirens, bus-wired peripherals, etc.
Key-Switch or Remote Control Unit
A key-switch, (not recommended) or non-IDS remote receiver may be connected to any zone to allow remote
arm/disarm and remote panic capability.
When using a key-switch or remote control unit, a 3K3 resistor must be connected between the zone
input and ground.
Use only a spring-loaded momentary key-switch or non-latching remote control unit.

Installing a Zone Expander Module
When installing a zone expander module refer to the document supplied with the module. Note that up to 6
bus-wired, 8-zone expander modules (P/N: 860-06-X-08S) and 1 plug-in expander (P/N: 860-06-X-08PI) may be
added to the IDS X64 Alarm Panel. Zones 9-16 are reserved for the Plug-in Zone Expander module which may
be used on the X16 as well.
IDS Remote Receiver
Up to 4 IDS Remote Receivers (P/N: 860-07-X02-DI) may be connected to the keypad Bus. Using this facility
allows remote arming and disarming of the panel while providing user identification for a maximum of 128
remotes.
For a full list of features and benefits of the receiver, please see the manual that comes with it.
Radio Transmitter Connection
When connecting a radio transmitter, use the TX terminal provided on the panel to supply power to the
transmitter. This output is protected by a 4 Amp fuse. This will also help protect the battery by cutting power to
it to stop it from being drained
4. Hardware Default Switch
Use the hardware default switch (refer to Figure 1) to return the panel to its factory default settings.
The procedure to default the panel is as follows:
1. Remove the battery and AC power from the panel
2. If you are only using a battery make sure that the kick-start jumper is in circuit
3. Hold down the default switch and reapply power to the panel (battery or AC)
4. Wait for the Panel Status LED to flash
5. Release the default switch
6. Remove the kick-start jumper, if one was used
7. Defaulting is complete once the Panel Status LED starts flashing
The effects of applying the default:
1. Factory default values are restored to all locations
2. All attached keypad IDs are defaulted
3. The event log is not defaulted
4. The “system default” event is logged to the event log
NOTE: The hardware default switch can be disabled in location 35.
See also: Defaulting the Panel or Master User Code –location 0
5. Enrolling Keypads and Other Bus-wired Peripherals
Keypads must be enrolled on the system before they can be used. Keypads are allocated an ID in the order in
which they are enrolled. To enrol a keypad:
1. Wire it to the keypad BUS
2. Power the system up
3. Press the [#] key
Repeat this process with the remaining keypads where more than 1 keypad is used. The first keypad enrolled
will have an ID of 1, the second enrolled will have an ID of 2, the third an ID of 3 etc.
NOTE:
All the zone and LEDs will flash on a keypad that does not have an ID.
The POWER and READY LEDs will be on for a keypad that has an ID and no zone violations.
Only the POWER LED will be on for a keypad that has an ID with a zone violation. The LED for that zone
will also flash.

IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02H Issued July 2013
13
Trouble shooting
If the ID process, for an LED keypad, has failed zones 1-8, and zones 9-16 will flash alternately. At this point
press the [#] key to retry.
If the flashing persists, try the following steps:
1. Check all wiring
2. Check that you have not exceeded 8 keypads on the bus
3. Contact the IDS helpdesk for further support
NOTE: To enrol other devices (IDS Remote Receivers or Zone Expanders); consult the installation manuals for
those devices. The IDS X64 Alarm Panels can accept 6 zone expanders and 4 remote receivers.
Replacing a Damaged Keypad / Bus-wired Peripheral
To replace a damaged device (non-dipswitch –like a keypad):
1. Disconnect only the faulty device.
2. Program a value of [4] into location 0 to free up all redundant IDs (previously unallocated IDs remain
free), wait for approximately 10 seconds then continue to step 3.
3. Connect the replacement device and enrol it –by pressing [#] for keypads –it will now be enrolled in
the first available address.
NOTE:
If other devices are disconnected (or damaged), at the time of performing step 2, their addresses will
also be freed. Any new devices being enrolled will automatically be allocated addresses beginning
from the lowest free address.
When you free up the ID of the damaged unit, the panel settings, relevant to the ID, will be defaulted
too. Therefore, the keypad will need to be re-added to a partition.
If a new keypad was enrolled, go to location 243 to check the keypad’s ID (1-8).
Solution
If there are problems with device IDs on a complex installation, do not assign IDs randomly, rather, at the end
of the installation, default all device IDs and then enroll them in sequence.
To re-enrol a Zone Expander or a Remote Receiver (dipswitch); consult the installation instructions for the
particular device.
Defaulting Keypads
To default the ID of an individual keypad:
1. Remove power to the keypad (or the whole panel if easier).
2. Hold down the [1]and [3]keys simultaneously.
3. Restore the power.
4. Wait for three seconds and then release the keys (there will not be a beep).
5. All the keypad LEDs will flash simultaneously indicating that the keypad has been de-registered
4. Wait for five seconds and ensure that the Panel Status LED on the panel is flashing, if the power from
the panel was removed.
5. Press the [#] key to allocate a new ID to the defaulted keypad. Keypad IDs are allocated incrementally.
6. The ID of any (correctly registered) keypad can be viewed in location 243 from the keypad of interest.
To default the ID of ALL keypads:
1. Enter a value of [3] into location 0.
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [0] [*] [3] [*]
2. On pressing the final [*], wait a few seconds and ALL the keypad LEDs will begin flashing. (Do NOT
press the [#] key at the end of this sequence, unless you wish the keypad you are using to be
registered in the first address).
3. Re-enrol all keypads by pressing the [#] key on each keypad –in the CORRECT sequence to ensure that
keypad zone and partition allocation is as required by the user.

6. Event Log
A comprehensive log of the 1 000 most recent events is retained in the non-volatile EEPROM. The log may be
retrieved using the up/download software, or on the LCD keypad. (See the LCD Keypad Manual or User Manual
to see how to view the event log).
The IDS Download Software is available for Inhep account customers, at no cost, to collect your event logs via
direct serial download, or via a modem.
7. Access Codes
The panel supports up to 128 users. The user codes can have various properties assigned to them. These
properties allow the user codes to have different functions.
Normal User Code
A normal user code is used to arm/disarm the panel, and to access certain user options.
Master User Code
When assigned to a user, this property allows the user to act as a master user. The Master User Code has full
access to programming all the user options. For a full list of user programmable options, refer to the X-Series
User Manual.
Maid’s Code (Arm to Disarm Code)
This property may be used to limit access to the premises. A Maid's Code will only disarm the system if the
same code was used for arming. If armed with a code other than this code, the system will view an attempt to
disarm using a Maid's Code as an invalid entry. Any valid user code will disarm the system if it has been armed
with a Maid’s Code.
Duress Code
This property denotes a user code as a special code to be used in the unique situation where an intruder forces
one to disarm the system "under duress".
When the [DURESS CODE] is entered, the Alarm Panel disarms normally - however a DURESS REPORTING CODE
is transmitted to the monitoring company to inform them that you have been forced to disarm the Alarm Panel
by an intruder.
It is advisable to choose a code that can easily be remembered by all family (or staff) members.
Installer Code
The Installer Code (location 197) is used by the installer to program and configure the Alarm Panel. It has full
access to all installer mode menus as listed in this manual.
Maintenance Code
The Maintenance Code (location 199) acts in a similar way to the Installer Code, but it has limited access to
installer menus. The default Maintenance Code is 8888, or 888888 for a 6-digit code. This code is used to access
the following locations:
Locations 17 - 18
Siren Time & Delay
Locations 20 –22
Keypad Lockout and Sleep
Locations 25 –31
Daylight Savings
Locations 171 –173
No Movement, Auto Arm
Locations 174 –176
No Movement, Medical Alarm
Locations 180 –190
Auto Arm Times
The assignment of this property to a user allows the relevant user to perform certain “maintenance” tasks that
would ordinarily require the use of the installer code.
Download Code
The Download Code, location 198, (in conjunction with the Installer Code) is required for download access via
the IDS Download Software. The default Download Code is 9999 or 999999 for a 6-digit code.
NOTE: It is possible to program location 34 to either allow or disallow defaulting of the Download Code.

8. How to Read Location Values
Values within a data program location will be displayed by the zone LEDs in binary coded decimal format i.e.
zone LEDs 1-4 indicate units (ones) and zone LEDs 5-8 indicate tens (tens), and so on.
To read a binary value on the keypad, add up the values represented by each lit LED as shown in Table 1

EXAMPLE:
Imagine the following zone LEDs are on: Zone 1, Zone 3 and Zone 5.
Units are represented by the sum of Zone 1 and Zone 3 (i.e. 1 + 4).
Tens of units are represented by the value of Zone 5 (i.e. 1 x ten).
Therefore, the displayed value is (1+4) + (10) = 15.
Values within a time program location are displayed in a similar format as per Table 2.

Using an LCD keypad means that data and time information can be read directly without a need to convert.
9. Programming of the Panel
The X-series control panels can be fully programmed using the X-series LED keypad; the system is optimised to
use an LCD keypad. The following section describes how programming data is represented in the X-series
panels and how to program it, specifically with the LED keypad.
For all programming procedures, the [*] key functions as the <ENTER> key and the [#] hash key functions as a
<CLEAR> or an <EXIT> program key.
Invalid data entries are indicated by means of an error beep consisting of 3 short beeps of the keypad buzzer.
There are two location categories:
Standard locations which are single tiered and do not contain any sub-locations.
Extended locations, which are double tiered and have strings or sub-locations depending on the
installers programming preference.
Both standard and extended locations may contain further sub-categories referred to as bitmapped locations.
For both main categories, clear visual keypad prompts are provided, which aid the programming process.

IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02H Issued July 2013

NOTE: When you use the [*] key to scroll through a bitmapped location, it will scroll through the pages.
When using the [*] key to scroll through numbered locations, it will scroll through the bytes.
Alpha-numeric locations (location 51 - telephone number), will show 1 digit per press of the [*] key.
Numeric locations (location 197 –installers code), will show 2 digits per press of the [*] key.
To view how the data is represented, please see Table 1.
Below are various programming symbols you will see throughout the manual:
Indicates programming the standard method
Indicates programming using the string method
Indicates programming a sub-location
Indicates programming a location/sub-location with a bitmap
Where a hexadecimal number must be programmed, use the [MODE] key as per Table 3.

NOTE: The hex values of A-F can be used for account codes. Only B-F can be used for phone numbers. This
means that for locations 50-54, Ais NOT a hex number –but is rather used to CLEAR a telephone number.
Entering Installer or Maintenance Mode
The following steps show how to enter into installer or maintenance mode.
1. Ensure that all partitions are unarmed.
2. Press the [#] key followed by the [INSTALLER CODE] or the [MAINTENANCE CODE].
3. The default installer code is 9999 or alternatively 999999 should a 6-digit default installer code have
been used.
4. Press the [*] key and a long beep will confirm entry into program mode. If a correct code has been
entered, the green READY LED will flash.
NOTE: This will not work if the dialler is active at the time, or if one of the partitions are armed.
Programming Standard Locations
The following steps show how to program standard locations.
1. Ensure the panel is in program mode - the READY LED will be flashing.
2. Enter the [LOCATION NO.] of the program location you wish to view or change.
3. Press the [*] key, until the beep. The READY LED will become solid and the AWAY LED will flash.
4. The zone LEDs will display the data stored in the program location in binary format.
5. Enter the [NEW DATA] followed by the [*] key. A long beep will indicate a valid entry and the AWAY
LED will turn off. The READY LED will flash.
6. If you do not wish to change the data, press the [#] key. The READY LED will continue flashing and the
AWAY LED will turn off.
7. Repeat steps 2 - 5 until all the necessary locations have been programmed.
8. Press the [#]key to exit program mode.
9. The READY LED will stop flashing and the panel will return to the standby mode.
When programming a standard location, any attempt to enter invalid data will result in an error beep (3 short
beeps).
The AWAY LED will remain on after the error beeps. Re-enter the correct data. There is no need to press the [#]
key.

EXAMPLE:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [0] [*] [VALUE] [*]
NOTE:
When you enter a standard location and press the [*] key, you will NOT be entering a sub-location –as there is
no sub-location to enter. What will happen is that you will scroll through the information in that location. If you
enter a digit, you will be changing the information stored in that position of the location, or the location itself.
EXAMPLE:
If you want to scroll through all the entries within a location with a LED keypad, you will input the following
data:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [LOCATION NO.] [*] [*] [*] [*], etc.
Scrolling through with the [*] key will show you all the numbers in a location. At the end of the allowed
locations, there will be a long beep to indicate that you are back at entry one of the location.
If you go to location 61 –Primary Account Codes, and then press the [*] key again followed by a digit, you will
be changing just the digit in that string.
Programming Extended Locations
The following steps show you how to program extended locations. These are locations that have sub-locations.
There are two ways to program extended locations: the string method or by using sub-locations.
Using the String Method
Using the string method is a fast and efficient way to program the X-series family. By filling in the
programming sheets, the installer can first plan the installation, and then very quickly program
multiple locations.
1. Ensure that the panel is in program mode - the READY LED will be flashing.
2. Enter the [LOCATION NO.] of the program location that you wish to view or change.
3. Press the [*] key. The READY LED is on and the ARM and AWAY LEDs will flash.
4. The first sub-location of data on the LED keypad is displayed.
5. Enter the [STRING] for the program locations that you wish to change.
6. Press the [*] key, a long beep indicates a valid data entry.
7. The ARM and AWAY LEDs turn off and the READY LED will flash for the next location.
8. If you do not wish to change the data within this location, press the [#] key. The READY LED will
continue flashing and the ARM and AWAY LEDs will turn off.
9. Repeat steps 2 - 7 until all extended locations have been programmed.
10. Press the [#] key again to exit from program mode.
11. The READY LED will stop flashing and the panel will return to standby mode.
NOTE: To view the rest of the string, use the [*] key to advance one sub-location at a time. At the end of the
allowed locations, there will be a long beep to indicate that you are back at entry one of the location.
The mode automatically reverts to Sub-location Mode - see “Using Sub-locations”.
When programming using the string method, any attempt to enter invalid data will result in an error beep (3
short beeps).
The AWAY and ARM LEDs will remain on after the error beeps. Re-enter the correct data. There is no need to
press the [#] key.
EXAMPLE:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [1] [*] [0102040404040404] [*]

Using Sub-locations
Sub-location programming is the classic IDS programming method. It is a personal choice as to which
method works for the individual installer.
1. Ensure that the panel is in program mode - the READY LED will be flashing.
2. Enter the [LOCATION NO.] of the program location that you wish to view or change.
3. Press the [*] key. The READY LED is on and the ARM and AWAY LEDs will flash.
4. Enter the [SUB-LOCATION NO.] (after you have programmed your location) for the program location
that you wish to view or change.
5. Press the [*] key. The READY LED will remain on. The ARM LED will change from flashing to steady,
with the AWAY LED continuing to flash, indicating sub-location mode.
6. Enter the [NEW DATA] followed by the [*] key. A long beep will indicate a valid entry. The READY LED
is on. The ARM and AWAY LEDs will flash.
7. If you do not wish to change the data within this sub-location, press the [#] key. This takes you back to
the locations programming section. The READY LED is on and the ARM and AWAY LEDs will flash.
8. Repeat steps 5 - 6 until all sub-locations at the current location have been programmed.
9. Press the hash [#] key to exit from the current location, the ARM and AWAY LED will turn off and the
READY LED will continue flashing.
10. Repeat steps 2 to 9 until all extended locations have been programmed.
11. Press the [#] key again to exit from program mode.
12. The READY LED will stop flashing and the panel will return to standby mode.
When programming a sub-location, any attempt to enter invalid data will result in an error beep (3 short
beeps).
The AWAY and ARM LEDs will remain on after the error beeps. Re-enter the correct data. There is no need to
press the [#] key.
EXAMPLE:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [1] [*] [1] [*] [1] [*] [2] [*] [2] [*] [3] [*] [4] [*]
NOTE:
When you enter a location containing sub-locations and press the [*] key, you will initially enter the first sub-
location. Each time you press the [*] key you will jump to the next sub-location. If you enter a digit, you will be
changing the information stored in that sub-location itself. At the end of the allowed sub-locations, there will
be a long beep to indicate that you are back at the first sub-location.
Programming a Location or Sub-location with a Bitmap
A bitmapped location allows the installer to program multiple panel features within a single
location. This is achieved by using the individual zone LEDs to indicate which features are enabled or disabled.
By referring to the appropriate location reference tables, the installer can view the entire selection of features
associated with that location.
1. Ensure that the panel is in program mode - the READY LED will be flashing.
2. Enter the [LOCATION NO.] of the program location that you wish to view or change.
3. Press the [*] key. The READY LED is on. The AWAY LED flashes whilst in bitmap programming mode.
4. Each LED represents a specific state of a feature. A lit zone LED indicates that a feature is enabled. An
unlit LED indicates that a feature is disabled.
5. To toggle a selected feature ON or OFF, press the corresponding LED zone number followed by the [*]
key.
6. Once a complete selection of features has been configured, press the [#] key to exit.
When programming a location/sub-location with a bitmap, any attempt to enter invalid data will result in an
error beep (3 short beeps).
The LED zone number will not change its state.
EXAMPLE:
Location 16 allows the installer to enable up to twelve trouble conditions that may be displayed.

IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02H Issued July 2013
19
Upon entering program mode and viewing the contents of location 16, it will be noted that the enabled trouble
condition LEDs will be on.
To enable the Communications Fail Trouble Display (indicated by zone 2 LED) press the [2] key followed by the
[*]star key. A long beep will indicate a valid entry and the zone 2 LED will turn on indicating that
Communications Fail Trouble Display has been enabled. Continue selection (or de-selection) of the desired
trouble conditions. Once a final selection has been made, press the [#] key to exit the location. The AWAY LED
will turn off and a long beep will indicate the return to location entry mode.
10. Programming Location Summary
A detailed description of each location and its options follow.
LOCATION 0 Defaulting the Panel or Master user Code
This location allows you to default the panel, user codes and their properties, and bus-wired
peripherals. Refer to Table 4 for the values, that can be programmed, and their actions.
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [0] [*] [VALUE] [*]
Table 4: Defaulting Data
Value
Action
0
Will reset all locations to the factory default values.
(Master User Code 1234) and all keypad IDs will be defaulted.
1
Will default the Primary Master User Code back to 1234 - or 123456 if 6 digits are being used.
Master User Code properties will also be defaulted.
2
Defaults ALL user codes and their properties.
3
Defaults ALL keypads.
4
Remove Missing Devices.
Any missing devices (keypads, for example), will have its address freed up, making its address available
for a new device when it is enrolled. This MUST be performed when replacing a faulty device. (You
must wait for 15 seconds from device failure or removal.)
5
Default “Central Monitoring Mode”. Defaults telephone numbers, dialing options, reporting options,
reporting code options and sets some options not to factory settings. (Implemented in vers.2)
6
Default “Private Reporting mode”.( sets some options not to factory settings) (Implemented in vers.2)
7
Defaults all wireless zones and settings
Zones
Location 1 –8 Individual Zone Type Setup
These locations allow you to program the zone types for zones 1-64.The zones are divided into 8 zones per
location. After the zone type is programmed for zones 9 through 64, they will need to be assigned to a partition
before being enabled.
Refer to Partition Options to see how to add zones to partitions and what options are available.
Each location represents a set of 8 zones:
Location 1 zones 1-8 (X8)
Location 2 zones 9-16 (X16)
Location 3 zones 17-24 (X64)
Location 4 zones 25-32 (X64)
Location 5 zones 33-40 (X64)
Location 6 zones 41-48 (X64)
Location 7 zones 49-56 (X64)
Location 8 zones 57-64 (X64)
Refer to Table 5 for available zone types.
NOTE:
If you require a panic zone whose status can be viewed on a keypad, Do NOT use the dedicated panic for
this purpose, as it cannot be viewed on a keypad.
Zones 1-8 are onboard zones.
Zones 9-16 are plug-in expander zones.
Zones 17-64 are expander zones. (supported only by X64)

Table 5: Zone Types
Value
Zone Type
00
DISABLED
A zone violation of a Disabled zone is ignored by the Alarm Panel and will not be indicated on the
keypad.
01
PRIMARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
Violations of an Entry/Exit zone are ignored during the exit delay period of the arming procedure.
Violating an Entry/Exit zone when armed will initiate the entry delay period. If a valid User Code is not
entered before the entry delay period expires, an alarm condition will be registered. Failure to exit
through an Entry/Exit zone after arming will cause the panel to Stay Arm. This zone may also function as
an Entry/Exit zone that is COMMON to two partitions. In such a case, should a user violate this zone and
then disarm this partition, the OTHER partition will re-arm after the entry delay.
02
FOLLOWER ZONE
A Follower zone is not monitored during the Entry/Exit delay period; therefore it will not cause a
violation. This allows the user to enter/exit via the Follower zone. A Follower zone will behave as an
Instant zone while the panel is armed and an Entry/Exit zone is not violated prior to violation of the
Follower zone.
03
PANIC/PRIORITY ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a Priority zone will cause the Alarm
Panel to register a panic condition. This zone type CANNOT be bypassed.
04
INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Instant zone will cause the Alarm Panel to register an alarm condition.
05
ARM/DISARM ZONE
Violation of an Arm/Disarm zone will cause the panel to toggle between (away) armed and disarmed. It
is typical to connect a momentary key-switch, or non-latching remote control unit to this zone. NOTE: A
zone must be added to a partition in order for it to arm.
08
SECONDARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
The Secondary entry delay will be activated if this zone is violated while the panel is armed.
09
Instant Fire Zone (New)
Zone triggers on the first violation and triggers a standard fire alarm signal
10
FIRE ZONE
Violation of a Fire zone will cause the siren to sound regardless of whether the panel is armed or not.
The siren will sound intermittently (one second on, one second off). For correct operation, a
programmable output programmed as a fire detector power output must be used to control power to
the fire detector (refer to Table 36)
11
TAMPER ZONE
Violation of a Tamper zone will be reported to the base station regardless of whether the panel is
armed or disarmed. If the panel is armed, the siren will sound.
12
24 HOUR ALARM ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a 24 Hour Alarm zone will cause the
Alarm Panel to register a panic condition.
13
WARNING ZONE
Violation of a Warning zone will cause the siren to beep. The violation is logged in the event log but it is
not reported to the base station. Warning zones may be included and will be counted when used as
part of the cross-zone.
14
PUSH TO ARM ZONE
Violation of a Push to A rm zone during the exit delay will immediately arm the panel.
15
OUTDOOR INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Outdoor Instant zone will cause the panel to register an alarm condition.
NOTE: This is a reporting code and it functions in the same way as zone type 04.
