Zones - Independent circuits that protect specific areas of the premises:

Auto-Bypass Zone: A zone that will be automatically bypassed from the protection system if it is in trouble (faulty) when the system is armed.

Burglary Zone: Detects intrusion.

Day Zone: A zone that will cause a visual and audible indication at the keypad if it is in trouble while disarmed.

Exit/Entry Follower Zone: Provides exit and entry delay for interior devices. Entry delay only occurs if re-entry takes place through the normal exit/ entry door first.

Fire Zone: Detects fire alarms or trouble conditions.

Interior Zones: Circuits within the premises, usually including space- protection devices, interior doors, etc.; but not exterior doors or windows. These can all be bypassed simultaneously using the E

button. (Two groups of Interior Zones may be programmed for each area.)

Priority Zone: A zone that prevents arming if in trouble.

Priority Zone with Bypass: A Priority Zone that can be bypassed using the Cbutton.

Selective-Bypassed Zone: A zone that can be individually bypassed using the Bbutton.
