Zone Type Definitions
Type 00
Zone Not Used
Use this zone type if the zone is not used.
Type 01
Entry/Exit Burglary #1
Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit.
Provides entry delay if the control is armed in the Away or Stay modes.
No entry delay is provided when the panel is armed in the Instant mode.
Entry delay #1 is programmable from 0 to 99 seconds for each partition.
Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and is
independently programmable from 0 to 99 seconds (field
34).
Type 02
Entry/Exit Burglary #2
Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary entry/exit point.
Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1.
Entry delay #2 is programmable from 0 to 99 seconds for each partition.
Exit delay is same as described for Type 01.
Type 03
Perimeter Burglary
Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.
Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay, or Instant
modes.
Type 04
Interior Follower
Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass upon
entry (to and from the keypad).
Provides a delayed alarm (using the programmed entry/exit time) if the entry/exit zone is faulted first.
Otherwise this zone type gives an instant alarm.
Active when the panel is armed in the Away mode.
Bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes.
Type 05
Trouble by Day/
Alarm by Night
Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone covering
a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc.
Can also be used on a sensor or contact in an area where immediate notification of an entry is desired.
Provides an instant alarm if faulted when armed in the Away, Stay, or Instant (night) modes.
During the disarmed state (day), the system will provide a latched trouble sounding from the keypad (and a
central station report, if desired).
Type 06
24-hour Silent Alarm
Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.
Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.
Type 07
24-hour Audible Alarm
Assign to a zone that has an emergency button.
Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an audible external
alarm.
Type 08
24-hour
Auxiliary Alarm
Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices such as
water or temperature sensors.
Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad.
(No bell output is
provided.)
Type 09
Fire
Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm produces a
pulsing bell output.
This zone type is always active and cannot be bypassed.
Note:
Hardwired zone 1 should be used with 2-wire smoke detectors; zones 2-8 can be used with 4-wire
smoke detectors; any wireless zone can be used as a fire zone.
Type 10
Interior w/Delay
Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in the Away
mode.
Entry Delay begins whenever sensors in this zone are violated, regardless of whether or not an entry/exit
delay zone was tripped first.
Bypassed when the panel is armed in the Stay or Instant modes.
Type 12
Monitor Zone
Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble. In the case of a short/open, the message, "
ALARM-
24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX
" (where XXX is the zone number) will be sent to the Central Station. The
system keypad will display a “check” message indicating the appropriate zone. Upon restoral of the zone,
the message, "
RESTORE-24 Hr. Non-Burg. -#XXX
" will be sent to the Central Station.
The “check” message will automatically disappear from the keypad. The zone restores dynamically;
therefore a user code + off sequence is not needed to reset the zone.
Faults of this zone type are independent of the system, and can exist at the time of arming without
interference.
Since this is a “trouble” zone type, do not use this zone type with relays set to activate upon “alarm.”
Type 14
Carbon Monoxide
Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector.
The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.
Always active and cannot be bypassed.
Type 16
Fire w/Verification
Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified.
System verifies alarm by resetting zones for 12 seconds after short is detected. A subsequent short circuit
within 90 seconds triggers fire alarm.
Provides a trouble response when zone is open.
UL: may not be used on zone 1.
Type 20
Arm-Stay
Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated.
Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.
User code for button must be assigned.
