CHAPTER 8 • ZONES & CHANNELS

Figure 8.10 – Zone/Channel Map Window

Each channel column contains channel number and channel type (N=normal, C=count,

P=pulse). Click on the individual zones in the zone column to highlight the zones in the

edit area.

Editing Channels

The Edit Channel button will allow you to choose the channel type, map/un-map zones to

a selected channel, and change delay/extend settings (see Figure 8.11). Click on the Z1–Z16

indicators to map a zone/zones to the channel (only the configured zones will be visible).

Click on the channel indicator in the top-left corner or the Edit Channel button to quickly

cycle through channels.

Figure 8.11 – Edit Channel Window

The Edit Channel window also allows you to do the following:

AND/OR – Channels support AND and OR logic for all zones. Using the AND logic

means that all the selected zones have to be active for the channel to be triggered; the

OR logic means that any activity in any zone will trigger the channel. Click on the

AND or OR button to change the logic.

Delay/Extend Settings – Delay and extend settings can be viewed and then edited for a

selected channel. The channel delay is used to ignore alert outputs that are shorter than

the specified delay time. The extend feature is used to continue a channel output after

the required conditions have been met. The delay and extend settings will be disabled

for all counting channels and the extend setting will be disabled for all pulse channels.
To edit the extend and delay, click anywhere in the white box with the D and E, and

the corresponding box will appear (see Figure 8.12). Manually edit or use the up/down

buttons to change the delay/extend settings.
