Each security sensor associated with your touchscreen is assigned a zone function at the time of installation. The zone function indicates how the touchscreen should interpret the signals from the sensor when it is armed or disarmed. The sensors communicate wirelessly with your touchscreen. The following table describes the security zone functions and types available.
NOTE: Regardless of zone function, if a sensor is faulted too many times resulting in an alarm, no more alarms will be sent to central monitoring for 48 hours or until the security system is disarmed.
| Zone Function | Description | Sensor |
| Entry/Exit | Used to monitor doorways from which users enter and exit the premises. Depending on how the system is armed, faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm. | Door/Window Sensors |
| Permiter | Used to monitor windows or doorways that are not used to enter or exit an armed premises. Faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm immediately. | Door/Window Sensors
Glassbreak Sensors |
| 24 Hour Inform | Used in areas that need monitoring, but faulting the sensor does not generate an alarm if the system is armed. | Door/Window Sensors
Glassbreak Sensors Motion Sensors Water/Leak Sensors |
| Trouble Day/Alarm Night | Used on doors or windows that need monitoring only when the system is Armed Night. It generates an alarm if the sensor is faulted or tampered when the system is Armed Night. | Door/Window Sensors |
| Silent 24 Hour | Used in areas that need monitoring and generates an alarm if the sensor is faulted, whether the system is armed or disarmed, but there is no sound from the touchscreen, keypad(s), or siren to indicate the alarm has been generated. | Door/Window Sensors |
| Audible 24 Hour | Used in areas that need monitoring and generates an audible alarm if the sensor is faulted, whether the system is armed or dis-armed. | Door/Window Sensors
Carbon Monoxide Sensor Water/Leak Sensor |
| Interior Follower | Used to monitor large areas inside the premises. Depending on how the system is armed, faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm. | Motion Sensor |
| Interior w/ Delay | Used to monitor areas near entry and exit points. Depending on how the system is armed, faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm. | Motion Sensor |
| Interior Follower/Arm Night | Used to monitor large areas inside the premises. Depending on how the system is armed, faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm. | Motion Sensor |
| Interior Delay/Arm Night | Used to monitor large areas inside the premises. Depending on how the system is armed, faulting this sensor generates an audible alarm. | Motion Sensor |
| Fire 24 Hour | Used only for smoke detectors and generates an audible alarm when smoke is detected, whether the system is armed or dis-armed. | Smoke/Fire Sensor |
