EM8617 What are "zones" (groups) and what do they do?

Every sensor can be configured to be added to a dedicated zone (group) : normal group, home-group, single group or 24-hours group.

 

Explanation of the groups

  • Normal-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode or in-home security.
  • Home-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode and will be disabled in-home security mode.
  • Single-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm is in full security mode or in-home security but with an addition of providing an entry delay before the alarm is triggered to provide time to disable the alarm (for example the front door).
  • 24-hours-group: These sensors are always enabled regardless the status of the security system (for example a smoke detector).
