optima G4 set up

[Jack2000]

small prob with Optima compact gen 4 - LED only.

 

all set up and all working OK - but although exit timer fine (as default), on entrance alarms immediately when door open - and can't seem to make the set up work to give an entry time.

 

went 'timed zones' , 'entry time'  setting procedure and no change, then set back to factory default (which should give 30 secs) - no change

Inhibit zones and entry zones set correct?

[james.wilson]

So front door zone attribute should be entry or whatever manual calls it, timers obviously can't be zero

 

And then if you had a hall our like James said , attribute should be entry route or something like that so that when door is opened it doesn't trigger full alarm

thanks folks - entry door has its own zone (2) every other works fine, the door opening causes immediate alarm.

 

tried "entry time" set to 30 secs (03) and that didn't work, so maybe its the program thing.

 

set timed zone says -

 

Press [PROG] to give a choice of programs. LED’s 1, 2 and 3 are flashing.

• Select program [1, 2 or 3]. If program 1 is selected, LED 1 is ON.  -------- and I assume prog 1 (default anyway) is the one 

• Press [2] to enter into Timed Zones. The first zone can now be

set as timed or untimed.                                                                            

• To edit the other zones press [Number] to go to a particular zone.    -------- 2 toggled on for timed

 

but as Sixwheeled say - should that zone be inhibited? - cos being thick I am confused at this point

you would norma;lly have the door on circuit 1

[Jack2000]

thanks James - when I had the time I swapped it to Z1 and its now OK on entry -  I thought I'd leave it on 2 originally thinking any zone could be programmed anyhow - obviously I am thick

[james.wilson]

i think you can program them but I've never put an entry door on z2

Timed Zones
A zone programmed as Timed would be used to protect the main entry/exit door of the entry route.

Inhibit Zones
This is a zone which, on setting the panel, allows access to the entry/exit zone. However, if the panel is set and a time inhibited zone is triggered before an entry/exit timed zone then an alarm will be generated immediately.
