This field indicates whether the displayed list of zones includes only active zones, excludes active zones, or includes both active and inactive zones ("All").

Note: Option ba438 determines the default of this display. When the option is on, the Zones tab displays only active zones. When off, the tab displays both active and inactive zones.

Columns

Last Signal Type

Last type of signal received on this zone. This column displays information only after an operator has received an alarm on a zone from this installation.

Signal Count

Number of signals received on this zone. Information only displays in this column after an operator has received an alarm on a zone from this installation.

Template

If this column displays an X, the selected zone is a template zone.

Note: Use Panel Types (program #1742) to assign a panel to an installation that has template zones defined.

Note: You may define system zones (from the systemzones table) as a template zone.

CID

Identifies the CID to which the selected zone is attached. This column appears if the selected account has more than one CID or if the first CID has global zones.

Note: If this column displays a %, the selected zone is a global zone, attached to all CIDs.

Note: You may define system zones (from the systemzones table) as global zones.

Zone

Unique number that identifies this zone.

Note: While an operator handles an alarm for an installation, SBN does not display template zones in the list of zones for that installation.

Note: This field may also use the wildcard variables % and _.

Area

Abbreviation for a designated area within a zone.

Code

Code that identifies the type of signal that this zone generates.

Zone Type

Alarm type generated for this zone. (This menu originates from program #1733.)

Class

Symbol that identifies the way SBN handles signals from this zone.

1. blank or + — SBN sends signals to the Alarm Queue
2. - — SBN throws all signals away
3. = — SBN logs all signals and does not send them to the Alarm Queue

Note: Alarm signals on zones with a "-" in the Class field refresh the test interval for the CID.

Priority

Priority for alarms received from this zone.

Group

Monitoring group code attached to this zone.

Note: The monitoring group defines how signals are handled for the associated zones. If additional signals are received from a zone with the same monitoring group, SBN adds them to the same incident. A monitoring group can contain more than one zone, but those zones must follow the same action plan if option mo126 is off.

Text

SBN-generated description of the zone, based on its zone type.

Protection Area

Location of the premises protected under this zone.

UL Grade

Code for this zone’s UL security grade. (This menu originates from program #1732.)

If this column displays an X, SBN includes this zone’s activity on reports.

Action Plan

Identifies the action plan that this zone follows when an operator handles a signal in Dispatch (program #537).

Schedule Number

Open/Close Schedule number this zone follows. (This menu originates from the Open/Close Schedule tab for this installation.)

Note: When an alarm signal comes in on a zone with an Open/Close schedule, if an Open or Close signal comes in on a zone with the same schedule within the number of seconds defined by option ma016, SBN removes the signal from the Alarm Queue. (This option is dealer-based.)

Delay

Time (in seconds) that SBN holds an alarm before displaying it in the Alarm Queue. SBN checks zones without schedules for the largest delay defined and adjusts them to match the maximum defined delay. Delay period can be entered in the zoom zone screen or the main zone list by clicking change.

Note: Use options mo005 and mo006 to define the delay.

Fire Test

If this column displays an X, fire testing is defined on this zone.

Note: Set up fire testing in the Zone Test window for this installation.

Report Previous

If this column displays an X, previously reported events create an exception in this zone.

Note: When the background cleaner removes an entry from the test queue and the restore required and previously reported fields are checked SBN generates an event for all zones that are not considered restored.

Fire Signal

If this column displays an X, SBN sends a signal on this zone directly to the fire department.

Note: Your company must be set up to use this functionality.

Bypass

If this column displays an X, bypass signals create an exception in this zone.

Detector

Type of detector in this zone. (This menu originates from program #1827.)

Note: Some companies, rather than use the inspection program, use the Detector field to test and inspect equipment.

Count

Number of signals expected from the detector on this zone. This column may display negative numbers.

Hidden

Determines whether this zone is hidden. SBN does not typically display hidden zones to the operator handling the alarm.

Restore Columns

Restore Required

If this column displays an X, an incoming alarm on this zone requires a restore before an operator can clear the alarm from the Alarm Queue.

Note: When option ba401 is on and a user selects a restore zone (or cancel zone), SBN automatically selects this check box. When this option is off, SBN displays the current value.

Restore Exc

If this column displays an X, SBN always sends an incoming restore signal on this zone to the Alarm Queue.

Note: If option mo104 is on, SBN removes alarm/restore pairs from the queue and enters them in the Alarm Log, as long as an operator has not taken them.

Restore Zone

Type of zone that can provide the restore signal on an alarm.

Restore Area

Area on which the restore signal is received, based on the zone.

Note: This column defaults from the Zone field if an area has been set up under zones.

Restore Code

Code received on the restore signal, based on the zone.

Note: This column defaults from the Zone field if a code has been set up under zones.

Restore Del.

Amount of time, in seconds, that SBN holds an alarm in this zone out of the Alarm Queue while awaiting a restore signal.

Note: Even though the alarm does not appear in the Alarm Queue, it appears in the Alarm Log as soon as the signal is sent. If the Restore does not come through in the specified time, a signal with the event MRC - No Res/Can appears in the Alarm Queue and Alarm Log. If SBN receives multiple alarms on the zone before the Delay timer expires, the timer restarts; if a Restore does not come through in the specified time after the last alarm, a No Res/Can alarm appears in the Alarm Queue and Alarm Log.

Cancel Columns

Cancel Exc.

If this column displays an X, SBN always sends an incoming cancel signal on this zone to the Alarm Queue.

Note: If option mo103 is on, SBN removes alarm/cancel pairs from the queue and enters them in the Alarm Log, as long as an operator has not taken them.

Cancel Zone

Zone on which the cancel signal can be received.

Cancel Area

Area on which the cancel signal can be received, based on the zone. This information defaults from the Zone field if an area has been set up under zones.

Cancel Code

Code received on the cancel signal, based on the zone. This information defaults from the Zone field if a code has been set up under zones.

Cancel Del

Amount of time, in seconds, that SBN holds an alarm in this zone out of the Alarm Queue while awaiting a cancellation signal.

Supplemental 1

Detector abbreviation for the detector on this zone.

Note: Use option ba140 to define this optional column.

Supplemental 2

Floor number on which this zone is located.

Note: Use option ba140 to define this optional column.

Item Description

The text description of the item associated with the zone. (Item descriptions originate from program #1535.)

Reference Zone

Displays the zone associated with the selected zone. When the selected zone generates a signal, the reference zone also appears in the Dispatch tab. (Associate zones in the Zone Details window.)

Reference Area

Displays the zone area associated with the selected zone. When the selected zone generates a signal, an operator may easily determine if it has an associated zone area. (Associate zones in the Zone Details window.)

Reference Code

Displays the zone code associated with the selected zone. When the selected zone generates a signal, an operator may easily determine if it has an associated zone code. (Associate zones in the Zone Details window.)

Sub Group

Sub Group the zone belongs to.

When SBN receives signals from the number of zones in the Count column that are part of the same Group and Sub Group within the number of seconds in the Restore Delay column, SBN generates an alarm incident in the Alarm Queue. Otherwise, SBN records signals from zones in the Sub Group in the Alarm Log only. All three Sub Group columns (Sub Group, Restore Delay, and Count) and the main Group column must be defined to use this feature.

Note: The last zone a signal comes from determines whether SBN generates an alarm incident. For example, Zones 1 and 2 are part of the same Group and Sub Group. Zone 1 has in the Count field and Zone 2 has in the Count field. An alarm comes in from Zone 1, then Zone 2, and SBN creates an alarm incident since Zone 2 requires two zones in the subgroup to create an alarm incident.

Restore Delay

Number of seconds in which signals from zones in the selected zone's Sub Group must be received for SBN to generate an alarm incident in the Alarm Queue.

When SBN receives signals from the number of zones in the Count column that are part of the same Group and Sub Group within the number of seconds in the Restore Delay column, SBN generates an alarm incident in the Alarm Queue. Otherwise, SBN records signals from zones in the Sub Group in the Alarm Log only. All three Sub Group columns (Sub Group, Restore Delay, and Count) and the main Group column must be defined to use this feature.

Note: The last zone a signal comes from determines whether SBN generates an alarm incident. For example, Zones 1 and 2 are part of the same Group and Sub Group. Zone 1 has in the Count field and Zone 2 has in the Count field. An alarm comes in from Zone 1, then Zone 2, and SBN creates an alarm incident since Zone 2 requires two zones in the subgroup to create an alarm incident.

Count

Number of zones that are part of the same Group and Sub Group that SBN must receive signals from within the number of seconds in the Restore Delay column before SBN generates an alarm incident in the Alarm Queue. All three Sub Group columns (Sub Group, Restore Delay, and Count) and the main Group column must be defined to use this feature.

Note: The last zone a signal comes from determines whether SBN generates an alarm incident. For example, Zones 1 and 2 are part of the same Group and Sub Group. Zone 1 has in the Count field and Zone 2 has in the Count field. An alarm comes in from Zone 1, then Zone 2, and SBN creates an alarm incident since Zone 2 requires two zones in the subgroup to create an alarm incident.

(Sub) Group

Sub Group to which the selected zone belongs.

When SBN receives signals from the number of zones in the Count field that are part of the same Group and Sub Group within the number of seconds in the Delay field, SBN generates an alarm incident in the Alarm Queue. Otherwise, SBN records signals from zones in the Sub Group in the Alarm Log only. All three Sub Group fields (Group, Delay, and Count) and the main Group field must be defined to use this feature.

Note: The last zone a signal comes from determines whether SBN generates an alarm incident. For example, Zones 1 and 2 are part of the same Group and Sub Group. Zone 1 has in the Count field and Zone 2 has in the Count field. An alarm comes in from Zone 1, then Zone 2, and SBN creates an alarm incident since Zone 2 requires two zones in the subgroup to create an alarm incident.

Protected Area
