Cross sensor zones is a way to set two seperate sensors to trigger an alarm when only both have been triggered.
For example:
Cross Sensor Zones 99-100 will create a cross reference between the zones to trigger an alarm only when they both activate
and will cause a trouble condition if only 1 activates while the other dosen't
Here is a quick guide:
Zone 99 triggers and Zone 100 Does not:
- Zone 99 will receive a trouble condition, no alarm is sent.
Zone 99 does not trigger but Zone 100 Does:
- Zone 100 will receive a trouble condition, no alarm is sent.
Both Zone 99 and 100 trigger:
An alarm will be sent through as a regular alarm.
This is usefull for fire zones to be cross referenced to double verify that a fire has been appropirately detected such as linking a CO and a Fire detector Zone.
