Appendix D: CBE: Zones and Equations
CBE (Control-By-Event) is a software function that provides a means to program a variety of
output responses based on various initiating events. The control panel operates CBE through lists of
zones. A zone becomes listed when it is added to a point’s zone map through point programming.
• Each input point (detector, monitor module) can list up to ten zones. Allowable zone types
are general zone, releasing zone, and special zone.
• Each output point (control module) can list up to ten zones. Allowable zone types are
general zone, logic zone, releasing zone, special zone, and fault zone.
• Output points can list zone Z000 (general alarm). Non-Alarm or Supervisory points do not
activate zone Z000 (general
alarm).
Networked CBE, or CCBE (Cooperative Control-By-Event), provides CBE initiating-event/output-
response relationships over the network through general, logic, and/or fault zones. One of these
zones, programmed into the zone maps of points on this panel and points on other nodes, will create
network cause-and-effect relationships based on the type and content of the zone.
D.1 Zones
There are four types of zones that may be listed to a point for CBE purposes.
Zone Type Description/Function
General Zone A general zone is used to link input and output devices. When an input device activates, any general zone in its
zone map will be active, and any output device that has an active general zone in its map will be active. General
zones can be used as arguments in logic equations.
Zone Z000 is a general alarm zone: those points listing Z000 in their zone map participate in a general alarm.
The panel will support up to 1000 general zones, designated as Z0 through Z999. General zones can be used in
CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Logic Zone A logic zone consists of a logic equation. Whenever the logic equation becomes true, all output points mapped to
the logic zone will activate.
The panel will support up to 1000 logic zones, designated as ZL1 through ZL1000. Logic zones can be used in
CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Fault Zone A fault zone consists of a fault equation. Whenever the fault equation becomes true, all output points mapped to
the fault zone will activate.
The panel will support up to one hundred fault zones, designated as ZT001 through ZT100. Fault zones can be
used in CCBE applications when a node number is entered before the zone number.
Releasing Zone A releasing zone is used to control a releasing operation.
The panel will support up to ten releasing zones, designated as ZR00 through ZR09.
Special Zone ZF0 Turn On Delay: Map ZF0 to input and output devices when a delay in alarm is desired.
Releasing, Smoke Control devices, and MCP should not be mapped to ZF0
ZF1 Fault Less AC: An output programmed to turn on/off if a system fault - other than an AC
power loss - occurs.
ZF2 AC Fault: An output programmed to turn on/off if an AC power loss or a brownout
condition occurs.
ZF4 Supervisory: An output programmed to turn on/off if a Supervisory input activates.
ZF5 Alternate Sensitivity Activation: An input programmed to switch from the active
detector alarm sensitivities to the alternate alarm sensitivities when a non-fire point with
ZF5 in its CBE activates.
ZF6 Smoke Control Disabled: ZF6 will activate in the event Smoke Control has been
disabled via the Smoke Control Disable key.
ZF7 Alarm Device Test Mode: In the event an alarm device is put in test mode, ZF7 will
activate and will remain active until a reset is performed on the fire panel or the Alarm
Device Test key is pressed to halt the device test.
ZF9 Alarm Action: An output programmed to turn on/off if a Prealarm is active (ALERT,
ACTION).
