 System Sensor Types

 Each sensor (wireless or wired) installed in the system is 

programmed to a specifi c sensor number and sensor type (  zone).

The  sensor number identifi es the specifi c sensor when it is 

displayed on the Control Panel, recorded in the event log, or 

reported to the Central Station. This allows pin-point information 

about any sensor in the system.

The  sensor type determines how and when the Control Panel 

responds to signals from the sensor. Some sensors are armed 

all the time, others are armed only in certain arming levels, some 

cause Central Station reports any time they are activated. The 

sensor’s type, along with other programming options, determine 

this.

Sensor Types  (Zones)

 (00)  Unused

This is the setting for unused sensor numbers that do not have a sensor 

programmed into them. No system action occurs at any time from this sensor 

type.

(01)  Exit/Entry 1

This sensor type is reserved for doors that are used for exit and entry of the 

protected premises. When the system is armed in the Away Mode or Stay Mode, 

the Exit Delay timer starts. There is an Exit Delay regardless of whether the 

system is armed in Stay Mode or Away Mode. When the Exit Delay timer expires, 

the system is fully armed.

With the system fully armed, when this type of sensor is triggered, the Entry 

Delay #1 timer starts. The system must be disarmed before the Entry Delay #1 

time expires, or an alarm will occur.

If the Entry Delay is turned off during arming, the exit/entry delay sensors will act 

as non-delayed instant sensors at the end of Exit Delay.

(02)  Exit/Entry 2

This sensor type operates the same as the Exit/Entry 1 sensor type except it will 

start the Entry Delay #2 timer. This provides a method of having a longer Entry 

Delay on certain openings, such as a garage door, to provide the user more time 

to disarm the system.

(03)  Perimeter

This sensor type is for perimeter doors and windows that will not be used to enter 

or exit the protected premises while the system is armed.

An instant alarm will occur when this type of sensor is triggered with the system 

armed in either the Stay Mode or Away Mode.

(04)  Interior Follower

This sensor type is for interior sensors such as motion detectors, mat switches, 

interior doors, and other sensors that detect human presence inside the protected 

premises.

This type of sensor is called a “follower” due to its action when the system is 

armed in the Away Mode. After the Exit Delay expires and the system is armed, if 

an interior follower sensor is triggered, an instant alarm will occur. If an exit/entry 

delay sensor is triggered fi rst, the interior follower sensor will also be delayed.

Interior follower sensors are always bypassed and not active when the system is 

armed in Stay Mode. This allows the premises to be occupied while still protecting 

the perimeter.

(05)  Day Zone

This sensor type is the same as a perimeter zone, except when the system is 

disarmed, a violation displays a trouble alert on the Console’s display.

Common uses for this sensor type are protection of sensitive areas that require 

notifi cation and possibly a Central Station trouble report, but not an alarm when 

the system is disarmed.

(06)  24-hour Silent Alarm

This sensor type is active independent of the system arming status. The code 

for silent panic is sent to the Central Station, but for safety, there are no visual or 

audible indications locally that this sensor type has been triggered.

(07)  24-hour Audible Alarm

This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed to 

this type will trigger a local alarm and the bell output regardless of the mode the 

system is in. Typical use would be an audible panic alarm.

(08)  24-hour Auxiliary Alarm

This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed 

to this type will trigger an alarm regardless of the mode the system is in. The bell 

output will not activate, but the local sounder will continue until it’s acknowledged 

at the Control Panel. Typical use would be for a monitoring device such as a fl ood 

or temperature sensor. There is no timeout for the internal sounder, it will continue 

until a User Code is entered.

(09)  24-hour Fire †

This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed 

to this type will trigger the local alarm fi re sounder and the bell output regardless 

of the mode the system is in. Typical use would be for wireless smoke detectors. 

This sensor type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

(10)  Interior with Delay

This sensor type operates as a delayed sensor when the system is armed in the 

Away Mode, and when triggered, will start the Entry Delay #1 timer. If the system 

is armed in Away Mode with no Entry Delay (armed instant), this sensor type will 

trigger an instant alarm.

If the system is armed in Stay Mode (or Stay Mode with no Entry Delay), this 

sensor type will be bypassed.

(14)  24-hour Carbon Monoxide †

This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed to 

this type will trigger the local alarm pulse sounder and the bell output regardless 

of the mode the system is in. Typical use would be for wireless carbon monoxide 

detectors. This sensor type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

(16)  24-hour Fire with Verifi cation †

This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed to 

this type can trigger the local alarm fi re sounder and the bell output regardless 

of the mode the system is in. Typical use would be for wireless smoke detectors. 

This sensor type is always active and cannot be bypassed.

For verifi cation, this sensor type must be violated twice in two minutes, or remain 

violated for 30 seconds. If any other fi re sensor (verifi ed sensor type or not) 

violates within two minutes, both sensors will cause a fi re alarm.

(23)  No Response Type

This sensor type is a special zone that can be monitored for activity or inactivity 

by the Central Station. It does not affect security system status.

(24)  Silent Burglary

This sensor type is for silent triggering the burglary alarm with perimeter doors 

and windows that will not be used to enter or exit the protected premises while 

the system is armed. The Control Panel’s sounder and the bell output will not 

activate.

An instant silent alarm will occur when this type of sensor is triggered with the 

system armed in either the Stay Mode or Away Mode.
