This section describes applications for the default zone types in Zone Information programming.
NT (Night Zone) - Controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices such as
NT (Night Zone) - Controlled instant zone used for perimeter doors and windows and interior devices such as
PIRs and glassbreak detectors.
DY (Day zone) - Used for emergency doors or fire doors to sound the keypad buzzer and display the zone
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
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.
PN (Panic zone) - Used for connecting to mechanical devices that allow a user to signal an emergency alarm.
Panic zones can provide either a silent or audible alarm with or without reporting to a central
station receiver.
EM (Emergency zone) - These are used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the
EM (Emergency zone) - These are used for reporting medical or other non-panic emergencies to the

low and high temperature gauges.
FI (Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications are
FI (Fire zone) - Used for any type of powered or mechanical fire detection device. Typical applications are
for smoke detectors, sprinkler flow switches, manual pull stations, and beam detectors.
FV (Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual fire
FV (Fire Verify zone) - Used primarily for smoke detector circuits to verify the existence of an actual fire
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.
A1 and A2 (Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2) - These zones are similar to a Night zone and are typically used to
A1 and A2 (Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2) - These zones are similar to a Night zone and are typically used to
protect restricted areas within a protected premises. Auxiliary 2 zones do not appear in the Status List.
AR (Arming zone) - Allows you to connect a keyswitch to a zone and use it to arm and disarm the system.
