23.10.1 Wireless Check-in and Supervision Definitions
FA Series Check-in Time Explained
The check-in time programmed for FA Series wireless transmitters is the number of seconds between
each message sent from the transmitter to the FA Series receiver for supervision purposes. This time is
programmable for each transmitter from 10, 30, or 60 seconds. Selecting 0 (zero) disables check-in. If no
messages are received from a transmitter in any four-hour period, a transmitter missing is generated by
the FA Series receiver and communicated to the panel.
DMP 1100 Series Supervision Time Explained
The supervision time programmed for DMP 1100 Series wireless is the number of minutes that must elapse
before a transmitter missing message is generated for a transmitter that is not sending its automatically
generated supervision message. The supervision time is programmable to 3, 60, 240 minutes. Selecting 0
(zero) disables supervision time.
23.11 Keypad Bus and LX-Bus Zone Type Descriptions
This section describes applications for the default Keypad and LX-Bus zone types in Zone Information
programming.
-- (Blank Zone)
Customizable zone type. By default, no actions are programmed to occur with Blank Zone. A zone name
must be entered to use this zone type: This zone type is not the same as an *UNUSED* zone.
NT (Night Zone)
Controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices such as PIRs and
Glassbreak detectors.
DY (Day zone)
Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the zone name when the
zone is faulted. Day zones also send alarm reports to the receiver during the system armed periods.
EX (Exit zone)
Initiates the entry delay timer when its assigned area is fully armed. Also, can initiate an exit delay timer
to allow a user to exit an area after the arming process starts.
PN (Panic zone)
Used for connecting to mechanical devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm. Panic zones
can provide either a silent or audible alarm with or without reporting to a central station receiver.
EM (Emergency zone)
These are used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the central station receiver.
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.
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. Retard, cross zoning, and
presignal options are available for the Fire zone type.
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 Verify 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.
A1 and A2 (Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2)
These zones are similar to a Night zone and are typically used to protect restricted areas within a
protected premises.
AR (Arming zone)
This zone allows you to connect a keyswitch to a zone and use it to arm and disarm one or more areas.
