Hi, I was looking at an install maual for a securitech 800l which i found on the internet and it says that zone 1 is fixed at final Exit circuit and cannot be programmed, What does Final Exit circuit mean and what is it used for?

Thanks

As the name suggests it's the final alarm detector you activate on the way either into or out of the protected area.

It purpose is to initiate an entry timer allowing access to the keypad to disarm the alarm without causing a full activation.

It can also cease the exit timer on exit but that depends on panel programming as there are several methods of completing the setting routine.

so is this the same as the entry/exit circuit? so when i open my front door the entry tone starts and i have to put my code in the keypad, Is the door contact on the front door going in the Final exit circuit? to start the entry/exit timer?

hi tom,

it is the same,

anther term is the 'exit/entry route', which is the path from the keypad to the perimiter and back again, of you building. you will possibly find that zone/cct 2 is programmed as 'access'. allowing a motion detector to be used in the hall which you to pass through it without causing an activation.

openning the front door will disable the hall detector during the entry time, where as if the intruder broke throuigh the panelling and instant alarm would occure.

set you exit timer with some 10 seconds more than you need, this is to allow a detector to settle before the system is armed, and has more effect on windy days.
