Guest HARD WIRED Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 i am prety sure whatr a zone is but can anyone fully explain what a zone is and what detectors ect... can be put into each zone HARD WIRED B)
Guest Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 A zone is a part of an alarm control panel that 1 device may be connected too. It is best practice to only have 1 device per zone on a panel. A device may be anything from a magnetic door contact to a PIR sensor or a smoke detector, and the control panel can normally be programmed to accept a multitude of devices for a zone, for example, a zone may be set up for fire or security etc, security would be the setting for a PIR or door contact etc etc. Zones may also be set up with what we call attributes, for example zone 1 may be a front door contact set to entry, zone 2 may be a PIR in the hall set to inhibit etc etc etc.

Of course all of the above goes out the window on 1st October 05, when a zone will of course become an area within a building where many devices may be installed. Sorry if this confuses the issue.Jef Customers!
Guest Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 True Jef. I thought he meant as in the alarm panel kind-a zone. Pitty really about the new EN regs, as I used to call what you mentioned areas or Wards. I presume he would be ok with the above advice as far as the panel zones in a house are concerned?
