Overview
Zones
A ‘zone’ is part of the premises and may consist of one or more detection devices
protecting rooms and access points (e.g. front door, kitchen, downstairs
windows, upstairs bedrooms, etc.). When the alarm system is ‘full set’, all of the
zones on the system are monitored.
Your Installer may have programmed up to 10 characters of descriptive text for
each zone i.e. Front Door, Hall, Bedroom 1, etc.

To display the descriptive text associated with a particular zone number,
press and hold the corresponding key i.e.

Omitting Zones
In certain situations (because of an open window or a pet) the need to set the
system with a particular zone excluded (omitted) may arise. Zones can be omitted
individually when setting the system (see page 6 for details).
Part Set Suites 1 - 4
The alarm system also supports up to four Part Set Suites (programmed by the
Installer). The Part Set Suites can be used to automatically omit predefined
groups of zones when setting the system i.e. Part Set Suite 1 could be used to
omit zones upstairs so that the alarm can still be set downstairs at night (see
page 5 for details).
If Your System is Due for Maintenance
The system has a service timer, which can be programmed by the Installer to give
a reminder when maintenance is due. The reminder can be either turning Chime
on or preventing the system from being set.

If the service timer turns Chime on, it can be turned off again manually (see
page 9 for details). In either case contact your Installer.
