Notes on Zone Types

Zone Types. You assign each detector a zone type so that the control panel can give the appropriate response. Types include, for example, normal alarms, 24 hour alarms, fire alarms and several others.

Zone Attributes. You can further modify the way the control panel responds to each zone by assigning a zone attribute. For example, the “chime” attribute allows you to program the panel to sound a chime tone every time a particu- lar detector is triggered.

Areas. Each Area is a set of detectors in the same physical area. The 808 can use up to four Areas. You assign detectors to an area during program- ming.

Levels. A Level is a group of Areas that can be set or unset at the same time. Each Level can be thought of as a different level of security. The 808 provides up to four Levels, labelled A, B, C and D. Each Level can have its own Exit Mode, Entry and Exit Times, Alarm Response, and Re-Arm Re- sponse. LEDs on the keypads show the status of each Level.

Flexi-Zone® .A Flexi zone is a zone type that can be used whenever you want a zone to change type according to the Level of setting in use. Since an Area can belong to more than one Level, and each Level can have different entry/exit routes, then a zone with type Final Exit at one Level may need to be a Normal Alarm at another Level. You can program a Flexi-Zone to be one of the types Normal Alarm, Final Exit, Not Used or Entry Route for any Level in which it appears.

Entering Text

Some menus have options that need you to enter text, for example zone names. For those options the system lets you enter letters from the keypad one at a time by pressing a number key repeatedly until the display shows the letter you want. Each number key gives its own number and three letters of the alphabet.
