DY (Day zone) - Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the zone
name when the zone is faulted. Day zones also will send alarm reports to the receiver during the system’s
armed periods.

EX (Exit zone) - Initiates the entry delay timer when its assigned area is fully armed. Also, can initiate an
exit delay timer to allow a user to exit an area after the arming process has started.
PN (Panic zone) - Used for connecting to mechanical devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm.

condition. When a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm, the panel performs a Fire Reset. If any Fire zone
initiates an alarm within 120 seconds after the reset, an alarm is indicated. If an alarm is initiated after 120
seconds, the cycle is repeated.
