Areas
Area is a section of premises that has specific security requirements. The
Advisor Advanced system allows any premises to be divided into different areas
having different security requirements. Each area has zones assigned to it. Each
area is identified by a number or an identifier. For example: Area 1, Main Office,
etc.
Each area can have one of the following statuses:
• Set (armed)
• Part set
• Unset (disarmed)
See “Set and unset” on page 51 for details.
Areas are configured in “4.2 Areas” on page 185 in Chapter 5 “Menu reference”.
Area groups
Particular panel models allow to group areas in area groups. Users are allowed
to perform area operations with area groups in the same way as with areas: for
example, set an area group.
Area groups are configured in “4.3 Area groups” on page 190.
Note: Area group availability depends on the control panel variant. See
“Specifications” on page 35 in Chapter 2 “Installation”.
Area hierarchy
The area hierarchy defines the order, in which high security areas should be set
or unset. A lower value means a higher hierarchy. Areas with higher hierarchy
should be set in the first turn, and unset as the last ones.
This functionality is available only in areas with area hierarchy higher than 0.
An example is a bank vault. It should be impossible to unset the vault
(hierarchy 1) before the vault hall (hierarchy 2) is unset. Also, you cannot set the
vault hall before the vault is set.
Area hierarchy is set via menu “4.2.n.6 Hierarchy” on page 189.
