Section 2. ZONE TYPES
Zone Types & Applicable
Sensors
The VISTA-40 supports up to 64 zones of hard-wire, polling loop and/or wireless
protection, distributed among up to 2 partitions. The following table lists the zone
numbers and the types of sensors that can be used with each in this system:
Zone Sensors
1 2-wire smoke detectors (if used)
7 keyswitch (if used)
8 latching type glass break detectors (if used)
1Ð9 traditional hard-wired zones
1Ð63 5700 series wireless devices
1Ð63 5800 series wireless devices
10Ð64 polling loop devices
95 * & 1 panic, or A key
96 # & 3 panic, or C key
99 * & # panic, or B key
Each zone must be assigned to a zone type, which defines the way in which the
system responds to faults in that zone. In addition, there are three keypad
activated zones (PANIC keys, see note at the end of the definitions) for each
partition, a polling loop supervision zone, and four RF supervisory zones, two for
each RF Receiver installed. Zone types are defined below.
Type 00
Zone Not Used
Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used.
Type 01
Entry/Exit #1 Burglary.
This zone type provides entry delay whenever the zone is faulted if the control is
armed in the Away or Stay modes. When the panel is armed in the Instant or
Maximum modes, no entry delay is provided. Exit delay begins whenever the
control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected. These delays are
programmable. This zone type is usually assigned to sensors or contacts on
doors through which primary entry and exit will take place.
Type 02
Entry/Exit #2 Burglary.
This zone type provides a secondary entry delay whenever the zone is faulted if
the panel is armed in the Away and Stay modes. When the panel is armed in the
Instant or Maximum modes, no entry delay is provided. Secondary exit delay
begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected.
These delays are programmable. This zone type is usually assigned to sensors or
contacts on doors through which secondary entry and exit will take place, and
where more time might be needed to get to and from the keypad. Delay time must
be greater than Zone type 1. (Ex.: a garage, loading dock, or basement door)
Type 03
Perimeter Burglary.
This zone type gives an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is
armed in the Away, Stay, Instant or Maximum modes. This zone type is usually
assigned to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.
Type 04
Interior, Follower.
This zone type gives 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. This zone type is active when the panel is armed in the Away or maximum
modes. Maximum mode eliminates the delay though. This zone type is
bypassed automatically when the panel is armed in the Stay or
Instant modes. This zone type is usually assigned to a zone covering an area
such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass upon entry (After
faulting the entry/exit zone to reach the keypad to disarm the system.) Since this
zone type is designed to provide an instant alarm if the entry/exit zone is not
violated first, it will protect an area in the event an intruder hides on the premises
prior to the system being armed, or gains access to the premises through an
unprotected area.
