Zone, in general terms represent an area or collection
of sensors that protect an area. Zones allow to pinpoint the area from where the alarm got
initiated, otherwise one has to use guess-work & check all doors & windows for
intrusion. In a large premises, such a feature is very desirable, though it increases the
cost. Make sure that your Central Control Panel (26) can be
expanded (or has built-in flexibility) to meet your future needs or you may be faced
with replacing the control Panel when you want to add devices.
For Apartment complexes, the zones can represent each flat and the control panel may cater
for 100s of zones. |
