DSC iotega sensor groups
The following is a description of zone programming features and options available in the control panel.
A zone type defines how a zone operates within the system and how it responds when triggered. Every zone on the system must be assigned a zone type. The following are the available zone types.
| Zone type | Group name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 001 | Delay 1 | Commonly assigned to primary points of entry. Follows entry delay 1 and exit delay timers. Arming the alarm system starts the exit delay timer. After the exit delay has expired, opening the door starts the entry delay timer. During entry delay, the keypad buzzer prompts the user to disarm the system. |
| 002 | Delay 2 | Commonly assigned to secondary points of entry (further from the keypad). Follows entry delay 2 timer. |
| 003 | Instant | Commonly used for perimeter doors and windows, this zone type follows the exit delay. The alarm is triggered instantly if the zone is tripped after the exit delay expires. |
| 004 | Interior | Commonly assigned to interior motion sensors near a point of entry, such as a foyer or hallway, that must be accessed to reach the keypad. The alarm is activated if the system is armed and a delay type zone (e.g., front door) is not tripped first, or if the entry/exit timer expires before the alarm is disarmed. Otherwise, the zone is instant if tripped. |
| 005 | Interior Stay/Away | Similar to Interior zone type except that the system bypasses the zone when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used to activate perimeter zones while permitting free movement throughout the interior. |
| 006 | Delay Stay/Away | Similar to delay 1 except that the zone is bypassed when armed in Stay mode. Commonly used with motion detectors that cover an entry point. |
| 008 | Standard 24-Hour Fire | This zone is used with smoke detectors. The siren sounds instantly when the smoke detector is activated. If enabled, the communicator immediately transmits the alarm to the monitoring station. A tamper or fault of this zone type causes a fire trouble to log and transmit. |
| 011 | Day Zone | Commonly used in areas where immediate notification of entry is desired. When disarmed, tripping this zone activates the keypad buzzer but does not log or report the event. When armed, tripping this zone activates the siren then logs and reports the event.
Note: An alarm during exit delay causes the siren to activate and remain on when exit delay expires.
|
| 017 | 24-Hour Burglary | This zone type is active at all times. It reports an alarm if the alarm system is armed or disarmed. This zone type sounds the siren for the length of Bell time-out if the audible attribute is enabled. |
| 024 | 24-Hour Supervisory Buzzer | When tripped, the keypad buzzer emits a steady tone until a valid access code is entered. |
| 025 | Auto Verify Fire |
When the zone is activated, a 40-second delay begins. The alarm is triggered if the zone is still faulted after 40 seconds. If the zone is no longer in alarm, an 80-second verification timer begins. If any fire zone is activated during this period, the alarm is triggered. If another fire zone is activated during the auto verify sequence, both zones go into alarm immediately. Note: Wireless smoke detectors used with this zone type must have a built-in siren to act as a pre-alert to the system alarm.
|
| 041 | 24-Hour CO | This zone type is used with CO detectors. In the event of an alarm, a distinctive siren cadence is sounded. This is followed by a 5-second pause and then repeated. After 4 minutes, the 5-second pause is extended to 60 seconds; however, BTO must be programmed with a value of 5 minutes or higher. The siren is silenced when an access code is entered or the siren times out. |
| 042 | 24-Hour Holdup | Instant alarm when activated, silent alarm at default.
Note: Not for use in UL-listed installations.
|
| 043 | 24-Hour Panic | Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default. |
| 046 | 24-Hour Medical | Instant medical alarm when activated, audible alarm at default. |
| 049 | 24-Hour Flood | Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default. |
| 052 | 24-Hour Non-Alarm | This zone is active at all times but does not cause an alarm. Zone attributes such as Zone Bypassing and Door Chime affect the functionality of this zone. This zone type can also be assigned to a temperature sensor if indoor/outdoor temperature display is required without temperature warnings or alarm conditions. |
| 099 | 24-Hour Temperature | This zone type is used with temperature sensors and is activated when the temperature rises above a programmed threshold or lowers below a programmed threshold. Instant alarm when activated, audible alarm at default. This zone type generates an alarm when the system is armed or disarmed.
Note: The temperature threshold includes a 2.5 °C (5 °F) difference between a given state and its restored condition. For example, an alarm at 6 °C is restored at 3.5°C (High temperature) or 8.5°C (Low temperature), depending upon the zone type selected. The zone type for temperature sensors must be 24 Hour High/Low Temperature in order for the sensor to operate properly.
