PROTECTION ZONES LIST

One or more sensing devices will have been assigned by the installer of your alarm system to each of the various protection zones in your system (although not every zone number can be used). For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on.

Zone numbers 07, 95 and 96 represent Keypad "Panic" alarm functions assigned by the installer (see Page 22). Zone numbers 08 and 09 are reserved for Duress and Tamper signal reporting to the central station.

This chart may be used to record the specific zone number assignments for your system. Your installer will assist you in recording this information.

This intelligent device combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, ensuring that homeowners can protect their families from fire and toxic gas threats effectively.

At the core of the FA145C is its dual-sensor technology, which utilizes both photoelectric and ionization sensors.
