Hi all. I've been told that the user is not allowed to omit zones when full setting a grade 3 system. Is this true or am I being mis-informed?

Depends on the fault been omitted, but as I read it yes they can omit most faults.

Do you not have access to bs 50131-1 ?

Not personally. I work for a national that seem pretty clueless.

do you mean omitting a circuit during a set period or overriding faults etc?

Yes omitting a circuit to set the system. Basically a fairly large system has just gone in and the engineer didnt give any of the zones the omit attribute. There have been a couple of issues with devices and the user couldnt set the alarm due to them showing  permanently in the open state.. I changed the zones to allow omit [as I have always done] but was told after your not allowed on grade 3.

Zone omit not normally allowed due to insurance policy.

Why?

Interested, I'm not allowed to program user omit either. I've never asked why.
