7.1 ZONE INFORMATION Zone Information
This allows you to define the operation of each protection zone used in the system.
A description of each programming option follows:
7.2 ZONE NO: – Zone Number
Enter the zone number to program. Press COMMAND to enter a zone name.
Address Programming Zone Number
Panel 1-5
3 31-34
Note: At least one RA-7630 keypad is required to support programming zones 31-34.
7.3 * UNUSED * Zone Name
Press any Select key and enter up to ten characters for the zone name. Each operating zone in the
system must be given a name. This name can display at the keypads when the zone is bad or viewed
in Display Events. The zone name is also sent to the receiver as part of a zone event report.
A zone that is not part of the system must be marked *UNUSED*. To mark a zone unused, press
a top row Select key to de lete the old name, then press the COMMAND key. The pro grammer
auto matically pro grams the name as * UNUSED *. If you selected DEFAULTS? NO YES to
clear the panel memory during Initialization, the zones are already marked * UNUSED *.
7.4 ZONE TYPE: FI Zone Type
The Zone Type defines the panel response when the zone is opened or shorted. See the Zone
Type Specification chart.
When you assign a Zone Type to a zone, automatic responses are made for the zone. There are
four Zone Types to choose from. Each response func tional details are described in the Zone
Type Specification chart..
To enter a new Zone Type, press any top row Select key. The display lists the following four
Zone Types.
F I SV A1 FV FI = Fire, SV = Supervisory, A1 = Auxiliary 1, and FV = Fire Verify.
Note: Supervisory Type zones provide default zone names: If SV (Supervisory) is selected as
the zone type, SUPRVSRY n (n = zone number) is automatically stored as the 10-character
zone name.

Zone Type Descriptions
FI (Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical
applications are for smoke detectors, sprinkler flowswitches, manual pull stations, and beam
detectors. Cross zoning is compatible with the Fire zone type.
SV (Supervisory zone) - Used to provide 24-hour zone supervision to devices associated with
fire systems. Typical applications are tamper switches on Post Indicator Valves (PIVs), gate
valves, and low and high temperature gauges.
A1 (Auxiliary 1) - These zones allow you to customize the operation for peripheral fire
protection devices.
FV (Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence
of an actual fire condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a
Fire Reset. If any Fire zone initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is
indicated. If an alarm is initiated after 120 seconds, the cycle repeats.
