Zone Monitor

The Zone Monitor option displays status information on each of the zones on the system.

To view zone status information:

  1. Scroll to TEST > ZONE MONITOR.

  2. Press SELECT.

  3. Scroll to a preferred zone and press SELECT.

    The status of the zone and its associated resistance value is displayed.

  4. Press NEXT to locate the zone (for example, CONTROLLER 1 = first zone on Controller).

    See the table below for correlating status information (valid for Dual EOL resistors).

All zones on a system can be monitored for correct operation by performing a monitoring test.

To perform a zone monitoring test:

  1. Scroll to ZONE MONITOR.

  2. Press SELECT.

  3. Scroll to a preferred zone and press SELECT, or enter the zone number directly.

    If the zone is located close to the keypad, the status of the keypad can be viewed as it changes. The Zone status and resistance value displays on the top right.

  4. Change the state of the sensor; for example, for a door contact sensor, open the door.

    The keypad buzzer beeps and the status of the sensor changes from CL (Closed) to OP (Open). The corresponding resistance value changes to a value that depends on the EOL resistance scheme.

 

It is advisable to check the operation of all zones on the system after installation is complete. To locate the zone select NEXT (bottom right) on the keypad. A zone status value of SH or DI indicates that the zone is shorted or disconnected.
