Functional settings
Zone status
Depending on the general parameter “Number of zones”, up to 96 zones are listed in the group objects.
The status of each zone from the alarm system can be monitored by a Group object.
The general parameter “Zones offset” allows the use of zones 1 to 96 from the alarm system or zones 97 to 192.
Area settings and scenes
Depending on the general parameter “Number of areas”, up to 4 areas are listed in the group objects.
Each area can be controlled by using the 3 group objects: Arm, partial arm or disarm. Several statuses are available and have a dedicated group object.
| CONTROL OBJECT | VALUE ON | VALUE OFF |
|---|---|---|
| Arm (switch) | Arm | Disarm |
| Partial arm (switch) | Partial Arm | Disarm |
| Disarm (trigger) | Disarm | Disarm |
For each area, a tab is made visible to configure the area parameters.
Areas are configured for areas 1 to 4 of the alarm system but by changing the parameter “Area mapping” it is also possible to cover the areas 5 to 8.
A scene can be assigned to each status. This scene number will be recalled each time the area status is active (ON).
Leave the scene number to 0 to disable the scene control.
