First Alert FA148CP, FA168CPS manual Zone Type Definitions

		Zone Type Definitions
Type 00	Use this zone type if the zone is not used.
Zone Not Used
Type 01	•	Assign to zones that are used for primary entry and exit.
Entry/Exit Burglary #1	•	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 for each partition.
	• Exit delay begins whenever the control is armed, regardless of the arming mode selected, and is
		independently programmable.
Type 02	•	Assign to zones that are used for entry and exit and require more time than the primary entry/exit point.
Entry/Exit Burglary #2	•	Provides a secondary entry delay, in same manner as entry delay #1.
	• Entry delay #2 is programmable for each partition.
	•	Exit delay is same as described for Type 01.
Type 03	•	Assign to all sensors or contacts on exterior doors and windows.
Perimeter Burglary	•	Provides an instant alarm if the zone is faulted when the panel is armed in the Away, Stay, Instant, or
		Maximum modes.
Type 04	•	Assign to a zone covering an area such as a foyer, lobby, or hallway through which one must pass upon
Interior Follower		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	•	Assign to a zone that contains a foil-protected door or window (such as in a store), or to a zone covering
Trouble by Day/	•	a sensitive area such as a stock room, drug supply room, etc.
Alarm by Night		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, Instant or Maximum (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	•	Usually assigned to a zone containing an emergency button.
24-hour Silent Alarm	•	Sends a report to the central station but provides no keypad display or sounding.
Type 07	•	Assign to a zone that has an emergency button.
24-hour Audible Alarm	•	Sends a report to the central station, and provides an alarm sound at the keypad, and an audible external
		alarm.
Type 08	•	Assign to a zone containing an emergency button, or to a zone containing monitoring devices such as
24-hour	•	water or temperature sensors.
Auxiliary Alarm		Sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No bell output is
		provided.)
Type 09	•	Provides a fire alarm on short circuit and a trouble condition on open circuit. A fire alarm produces a
Fire	•	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	•	Provides entry delay (using the programmed entry time), if tripped when the panel is armed in the Away
Interior w/Delay	•	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	•	Works as a dynamic monitor of a zone fault/trouble. In the case of a short/open, the message, "ALARM-
Monitor Zone		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 (but keypad beeping does

not occur). 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 dynamically when the zone restores; 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 • Assigned to any zone with a carbon monoxide detector.

Carbon Monoxide	•	The bell output will pulse when this zone type is alarmed.
	•	Always active and cannot be bypassed.
Type 16	•	Provides a fire alarm when zone is shorted, but only after alarm verified.
Fire w/Verification	•	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.
Type 20	•	Arms the system in Stay mode when the zone is activated.
Arm-Stay	•	Pushbutton units send the user number to the central station when arming or disarming.
	•	User code for button must be assigned.
