Zone omit

[Radish]

Hi all. I've been told that the user is not allowed to omit zones when full setting a grade 3 system. Is this true or am I being mis-informed?

[Simlec]

Depends on the fault been omitted, but as I read it yes they can omit most faults.

Do you not have access to bs 50131-1 ?

Not personally. I work for a national that seem pretty clueless.

do you mean omitting a circuit during a set period or overriding faults etc?

[Radish]

Yes omitting a circuit to set the system. Basically a fairly large system has just gone in and the engineer didnt give any of the zones the omit attribute. There have been a couple of issues with devices and the user couldnt set the alarm due to them showing  permanently in the open state.. I changed the zones to allow omit [as I have always done] but was told after your not allowed on grade 3.

[Amps]

Zone omit not normally allowed due to insurance policy.

Why?

Interested, I'm not allowed to program user omit either. I've never asked why.
