Section 5: Program Descriptions

The following section explains the operation of all programma- ble features and options and provides a summary of all corre- sponding programming locations.

5.1Programming Security Codes

There are three codes which can be programmed by the installer in the Installer’s Programming function: the Master code, the Installer’s code, and a Maintenance code. All other access codes can be programmed through the [*][5] com- mand. (See “[*][5] Programming Access Codes” on page 10.) The master code can also be programmed by the user as access code (40). If the Master Code Not Changeable option is enabled, the system master code can only be changed by the installer.

The Maintenance code can only be used to arm and disarm the system. The Maintenance code cannot bypass zones, use [*][9] to arm the system, cancel autoarming, or perform [*][7] command functions. There will be no arm/disarm bell squawks when the Maintenance code is used.

General access codes can arm and disarm the system. When the Code Required for Bypassing option is enabled, users will need to enter a valid access code when bypassing zones. Individual access codes can have the Zone Bypassing attribute disabled under Access Code Attribute programming. (See “[*][5] Programming Access Codes” on page 10.)

If the 6-Digit User Access Codes option is enabled, all the access codes may be programmed with six digits instead of four, with the exception of the Panel ID code and the Down- loading Access Code.

5.2Zone Programming

Zones 1-8 are enabled by default. Disable unused zones, or enable additional zones in programming sections [202] - [205]. The zone definitions describe how each of the zones you use will operate. Program a two-digit code describing the zone definition in sections [001] - [004]. Select a definition from the list below.

In addition, each zone has eight different attributes which may be programmed in sections [101] to [132]. (See 5.3 “Zone Attributes” on page 16.)

Zone Definitions

[00] Null Zone

The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as Null zones.

[01] Delay 1 Zone

This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be vio- lated during the exit delay time without causing an alarm. Once the exit delay has expired, opening the zone will start the entry delay timer. During the entry delay time, the keypad buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed. If the panel is disarmed before the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.

[02] Delay 2 Zone

The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independently of Delay 1 in programming section [005] (System Times).

[03] Instant Zone

This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated when the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used for windows, patio doors or other perimeter zones, and glass break detectors.

[04] Interior Zone

This zone will not cause an alarm if violated during the entry delay. If the zone is violated before the entry delay has begun, it will cause an instant alarm. Typically, this zone is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.

[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone

This zone type works similarly to the Interior zone type, except that it will be automatically bypassed under the following condi- tions:

•When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode. (See 3.5 “Func- tion Keys” on page 11.)

•When the panel is armed without entry delay. (See “[*][9] Arming Without Entry Delay” on page 11.)

•When the panel is armed with an access code and a Delay type zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.

The automatic bypass prevents the user from having to manu- ally bypass interior type zones when arming at home. This zone is typically used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.

[06] Delay Stay/Away Zone

This zone type will operate similarly to Interior Stay/Away zones, except that it will always provide an entry delay. Typi- cally, this zone is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors. This zone option will help prevent false alarms since it always provides an entry delay time for the user to turn off the panel.

NOTE: Hardwire motion detectors covering entry/exit doors that are using wireless transmitters must be programmed as Delay Stay/Away. If not, the panel may see the motion detector violation before the entry/exit transmitter has time to transmit to the receiver, causing a false alarm.

[07] Delayed 24 Hour Fire Zone

NOTE: Do not wire Fire zones on keypad zone terminals if the DEOL supervision option is enabled for the panel (Section [013], Option [2]).

When this zone is violated, the alarm output will be immedi- ately activated (pre-alert) but the communicator will be delayed for 30 seconds. If the user presses any key on any keypad during this delay, the alarm output and the communi- cator will be delayed an additional 90 seconds, giving the user time to correct the problem. If the zone is still violated after the 90 second delay, the panel will sound the alarm out- put and delay the communicator for 30 seconds.

If the user does not press a key during the 30 second pre- alert, the alarm output will latch and the panel will communi- cate the alarm to the central station. The alarm will sound until the Bell Cutoff time expires (Section [005] “System Times”), or until a code is entered. (See 5.13 “Bell” on page 22.)

NOTE: If a second Fire type zone is violated or if the Fire keys are pressed during the delay period, the panel will latch the alarm output and will immediately communicate the alarm.
