Intrusion Zone tab
This tab configures the properties of a new intrusion zone.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ack Required | check boxes | Sets the requirements for an alarm acknowledgment in this intrusion zone. Alarm acknowledgments are required only for selected options. |
| Priority | number between 1 (highest priority) and 255 | Sets an importance level for each of the listed priority categories: Offnormal, Fault, Normal, and Alert alarms. |
| Total Alarm Count | number | Returns the total number of alarms of any state that are associated with the intrusion zone. |
| Open Alarm Count | number | Returns the number of open alarms. An alarm is considered open when it is not acknowledged and normal or not acknowledged and in alert. |
| In Alarm Count | number | Returns the number of alarms that are currently in an alarm state. |
| Unacked Alarms | number | Returns the number of alarms that require acknowledgment and have not yet been acknowledged. |
| Time of Last Alarm | read-only time | Indicates when the latest alarm occurred. |
| Escalation Level(n) (where n is 1, 2, or 3) | true or false |
Enables and disables alarm escalation at this level. |
| Escalation Level (n) Delay (where n is 1, 2, or 3) | time (minimum: one minute) | Defines the amount of time to allow an unacknowledged alarm to remain unacknowledged before you escalate it to the next level. |
| Zone Enabled | read-only true or false |
Indicates the status of the intrusion zone: enabled (true) or disabled (false).
|
| Zone Schedule | Ref Chooser | Arms and disarms an intrusion zone according to a schedule. Clicking delete ( ) removes an assigned schedule.
|
| Zone Input | Ref Chooser | Designates the input to use for zone communication. Clicking delete ( ) removes an assigned input.
|
| Zone Status | read-only | Displays the status of the intrusion zone: Armed, Disarmed, or Arming. |
| Arming Test Status | read-only true or false |
Indicates if the last arming test was successful (true) or unsuccessful (false).
|
| Time Delay | hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds | Defines the time between when an alarm is set and when the zone is actually armed. For example, a Time Delay of 45 seconds allows occupants to leave promptly without setting off the alarm. During this time delay period, the intrusion zone is in an arming state. |
| Warning Time | hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds | Defines when the system begins signaling to warn occupants that it is about to arm the zone. This value may be less than or equal to the Time Delay. For example, if the Time Delay is 45 seconds and the Warning Time is 10 seconds, 35 seconds after beginning to arm the zone, the warning signal, such as a beeper, sounds for the final 10 seconds of the arming state. |
| Count Down | hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds | Displays the time remaining before the system arms the intrusion zone. |
| Last Activity | read-only | Reports the last arming or disarming event. |
