MONITOR AFx™ Director V4.1 User's Guide

500-9041 v4.1

Areas and Related Settings

Areas allow setting up monitoring and

operating characteristics for all sensors and/or

readers in a common location (associated with

a specific panel). Dividing a system into

"areas" also allows user-authorities to be set

up on an area-by-area basis.

Elevators and Floors: It is best to set up unique area(s)

for use with elevators and the associated access

hallways. This allows the authority to control elevators

and floors to be separated from other features, and also

helps to identify activity/alarm messages pertaining to

elevator readers. (The authority to control elevators

and floors pertains to the "Door Control" authority

selection for the specific area.)

For an introduction to access-controlled areas relative

to user-authority settings and door settings, refer to

"Understanding Access-Controlled Areas".

Area scheduling can:

•

Cause areas to arm and disarm

automatically at the desired times;

•

Have user's reminded to arm the area,

and/or have an alarm transmitted to the

monitoring station if users fail to do so.

•

Provide automatic Stay-to-Off, and

Off-to-Stay arming at scheduled times.

For details on setting up schedules, refer to "Schedules

for User Access and Area Automation".

or Doors).

This can be done by viewing the topics for each of

these items in '

grid

' view, and checking the "Area"

column for the specific one. For details, refer to the

items, and check for the specific 'Area' in the listings.

For details, refer to the table of contents for the desired

'Reporting' topic(s).

Areas and Related Settings

If you change any value for an area, this will cause

that area to be reset to its default / scheduled state

and arming level

to be managed properly). To check or re-set status

aspects, refer to the "Area" status/control topic.
