Cross-Zoning
Note
Cross-Zoning is not recom-
mended for exit/entry zones.
Each zone has the ability to
individually protect the
intended area. (e.g. motion
detector patterns overlap).
Cross-Zone (Alarm Verify) refers to two different Group 10-20 sensors that must be tripped
within four minutes of each other to report an alarm to the central station. The diagram in
Figure 23 shows the path of a person walking from the kitchen to the living room. When the per-
son is detected walking through the kitchen, the motion sensor in the kitchen is tripped, sounding
a local alarm. If motion is detected by the living room motion sensor within two minutes, an
alarm report will be sent to the central station.

Note: Check marks (3) represent characteristics present in a group.
* This group is not certified as a primary protection circuit for UL-listed systems and is for supplementary use only.
†
Sounds instant police siren if two or more sensors are tripped within 4 minutes. Otherwise sensors are followers to delayed
sensors. If Alarm Verification is on, group 18 functions like group 17.
‡ This group has not been investigated by UL.
