approaching those areas. These motion sensors are not used
for intrusion protection. The panel will chime, if the special
chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the
special chime option will not appear in the Status & Settings
screen.

Cross-zoning
Cross zoning (two-trip) refers to two different motion sensors
that must be tripped within two minutes of each other to report
an alarm to the central station. The Cross-zoning figure shows
the path of a person walking from the kitchen to the living room.
When the person is detected walking through the kitchen, the
motion sensor in the kitchen is tripped, sounding a local alarm.
If motion is detected by the living room motion sensor within
two minutes, an alarm report will be sent to the central station.
