The Sentrol ZX440F Security Control features ease
of installation and programming. The ZX440F is
easily programmed with any one of four Control
Stations (LCD, LED, SSD, or VFD). The control may
also be programmed remotely with the aid of a
personal computer (PC) and a modem using
Sentrol’s remote programming software
(RPM2PRO) and a panel support module
(PRO400). The Control Stations are easy-to-operate and contain features such as cross-zoning, and
an audibles “mute” function to help reduce false
alarms.

be used. A zone expander may be added to provide an additional 2-wire smoke detector zone and,
with the use of “2 in 1” Zoning™, up to 16 additional zones.
The Control’s on-board RAM maintains its data
even with the power disconnected. A “Watchdog”
timer monitors the microprocessor to ensure the
operational integrity of the system. The ZXCFM
on a ZX440F is equipped with one low current
programmable output (PGO1) and three high current bell outputs (FIRE BELL 1, FIRE BELL 2 &
OTHER BELL). No outputs are available on the
ZX440F Control Board. In addition, two ZXODMs
(Output Driver Modules) can be added to provide
20 more programmable low current outputs which
may be used to trigger other devices.

The ZX440F is pre-programmed at the factory with
one 2-wire smoke detector zone and ten burglar
zones (one delay, two interior and seven instant).
Zones 6 & 12 are dedicated as Phone Line Monitor and Ground Fault Monitor inputs and may not

Connect the appropriate UL Class II transformer using 18 gauge minimum 2
conductor wire. Do not exceed 50 feet. Use a T1850 transformer.
CAUTION: Do not short the terminals of the transformer together. This
causes the internal fuse to blow. The transformer must be connected to a
120 VAC, 24-hour outlet not controlled by a switch other than an approved
over-current protection device.
NOTE: For commercial fire applications, an F2600 transformer enclosure must
be installed prior to connection of the primary power source. The AC power
wiring must be routed through dedicated conduit and a dedicated enclosure
knockout. It may not be intermixed with any low voltage power limited field
wiring per NFPA 70.

Each loop requires a 1500 Ohm end-of-line resistor (P/N CR854) for the primary
zone, and an 825 Ohm end-of-line resistor (P/N CR853) for the secondary zone.
A common negative is shared among all zones. The need for end-of-line resistors
may be eliminated on all Burglar defined zones through programming. See
Figure 1 for “2 in 1” Zoning™ wiring examples. Terminal 19 (Zones 6/12) is
connected to the ZXCFM for Phone Line Monitor and Ground Fault Monitor. Do
not connect anything else to terminal 19.

“2 in 1” Zoning™

“2 in 1” Zoning™
NOTE
If a Normally Open Device is used with
“2 in 1” Zoning™, a short will occur
across both zone loops when that device goes into alarm. It is recommended that these types of devices
be used with Conventional Zone wiring only. This type of wiring is not suitable for fire alarm initiating circuits.

Method 2 wires two separate zone loops back into
one set of terminals. The panel recognizes each
loop independently because two different EOL resistor values are used to differentiate between the
Primary Zone (1500 Ohm 1/2 Watt) and the Secondary Zone (825 Ohm 1/4 Watt). This method
provides two zones with one set of terminals and is
ideal for pre-wire or already installed wiring.

The Sentrol ZX440F Security Control introduces an
all new method of wiring zones that saves both time
and wire costs. “2 in 1” Zoning™ allows the installer to wire two separate zones in parallel into one
set of terminals.

1500Ω 1/2W
Primary Zone

Each zone is uniquely identified by its end-of-line resistor. The Primary Zone (zones 1-6) in each terminal is identified by a 1500 Ohm EOL resistor. The
Secondary Zone (zones 7 - 12) is identified by an
825 Ohm EOL resistor. The Primary and Secondary
zones operate as two independent zones to provide
separate reporting, programming, and displays. Each
zone is fully programmable as described in Installer
Level Programming - Zone Data Descriptions. The
zones are for Form A, Form B, or Form C sensors.
Maximum total loop wire and contact resistance
(not including EOL) must not exceed 100 Ohms
for the loop to function properly.

Secondary Zone
825Ω 1/4W

Figure 3

NOTE
The resistors in Figure 2 & 3 are 1%
values to maintain proper loop resistance values. If replacements are required, please refer to the manufacturer for correct replacements. The
1500 ohm resistor is color coded
Brown•Green•Black•Brown•Brown.
The 825 ohm resistor is color coded
Gray•Red•Green•Black•Brown.

There are two methods of wiring for “2 in 1” Zoning™. Method 1 wires one zone loop back to the
control while a second zone loop is added in parallel
off the first. This method may be employed in system retrofits, system expansions, or just simply to
save wire cost and labor.

All zones sense five different voltage levels enabling
one zone to act as two. Troubleshooting is simple
using just a voltmeter at the control. The control
monitors the voltage level across the zone and uses
the voltage levels in Table 1 to determine whether
the zone is normal, open, or shorted.

CONVENTIONAL WIRING

Conventional Methods of Wiring
Class ‘B’ End-Of-Line Resistor
Supervised Zones

Non-Supervised Closed Circuit
Loop (No EOL Resistor
Supervision)

A Class ‘B’ zone must be supervised with a 1500
Ohm 1/2 Watt end-of-line resistor (P/N CR854). This
resistor should be installed in series at the furthest
point from the control. This configuration must be
used whenever both Form A and Form B devices are
connected and provides a high degree of protection against compromise or tampering. The control
monitors the voltage level across the Primary zone
and uses the Primary zone voltage levels in Table 1
to determine whether the zone is normal, open, or
shorted. The operation of a zone is programmable
as described in Installer Level Programming - Zone
Data Descriptions. Maximum total loop wire and
contact resistance (not including EOLs) must not
exceed 100 Ohms for the loop to function properly. The 1500 Ohm EOL resistor is optional for
Form A connections but is required for Form B.

The EOL resistor is not required on Burglar zones. A
conventional closed circuit loop may be connected
directly to a primary zone and the zone will have
either a short or an open condition. See Installer Level
Programming - Zone Data Descriptions for programming an unsupervised zone. Fire zones may not be
installed as unsupervised. Only Burglar defined
zones may be wired non-supervised. “2 in 1” Zoning™ is not allowed.

CONTROL STATION ADDRESSING AND SUPERVISION

Control Station Addressing and Supervision
LED Control Stations

All Control Stations are shipped from the factory as
Control Station #1. They may be set to other addresses as described below.

These Control Stations have a jumper on the circuit
board to set the address. To change the address of
the Control Station #1 to Control Station #2, remove
JP2 (see Figure 6).

A supervised Control Station is reported as missing
when the system fails to get any response from it.
In order to maintain supervision, each supervised
Control Station must have its own unique address.

Remove JP2 for keypad 2

SSD, LCD, and VFD Control

These Control Stations have a four position DIP
switch on the circuit board to set the address. To
change the address, the DIP switch setting must be
positioned according to Figure 5.

Clearing Trouble Messages
Once the system is up and running, trouble conditions may occur. Most trouble conditions are cleared
automatically when the condition that initiated the
trouble is restored or is eliminated. Three trouble
conditions (Memory Error, Smoke Trouble and Missing Keypad) may be cleared manually by pressing
and holding the Clear key for three seconds (until
two beeps are heard). This action is also required to
turn off the Duress output after it has been activated
and to cause an “Installer Off Premises” event (see
Operating the System - Installer On Premises).

A Bell 1 Silenced or Bell 2 Silenced trouble condition
may only be cleared by performing a smoke reset
operation.

12 VDC AND ADDITIONAL OUTPUTS

12 VDC Outputs
The ZX440F control provides one switched negative output, one Control Station power output, one
auxiliary power output, and one 2-wire smoke power
terminal. The ZXCFM on a ZX440F provides three
bell outputs and one programmable low current
output (PGO1). (See Figure 1).

ZXEXP ZONE EXPANDER MODULE

ZXEXP Zone Expander Module
Installation

This module provides an additional 8 zones for the
ZX440F Control. If “2 in 1” Zoning™ is desired,
this module provides 16 zones. All zones are fully
programmable (see Installer Level Programming Zone Data Descriptions). The Zone Expander terminals map into zones on the control as shown in Table
2. An additional Two-Wire Smoke loop is also provided on this module (Zone 29). This loop follows
the same wiring restrictions as Terminal 6 on the
ZX440F control (max. 10 detectors). Fast zones may
not be used on the Zone Expander Module.

1. Remove the plastic lid from the ZXEXP Zone
Expander Module. Choose a suitable mounting
place and mount the module with the two
screws provided. It is recommended that the
module be placed in a suitable enclosure like the
EB1511 for additional environmental protection.
2. Connect the ZXEXP to the ZX440F local data
bus. For a UL Household Fire System, the ZXEXP
must be mounted within 500 ft. of the ZX440F
and the maximum Smoke Zone resistance is 20
Ohms.

Ten power-limited programmable outputs are available on the ZXEXP Zone Expander Module. These
outputs are identical to the 10 outputs on ODM2.
Connect the outputs to J2 on the ZXEXP in the same
manner as J3 on the ZXODM. When using the outputs on this module, make sure all restrictions mentioned in the ZXODM section for power and negative are observed. The outputs have limited transient protection and should be properly protected
(buffered by relays, etc.). They should be mounted in
a suitable enclosure such as an EB1511 or EX1414 (part
# 13000421).

3. Wire initiating devices to the appropriate zone
terminals on the ZXEXP module (see Table 2).
Follow the same guidelines for “Hardware Zone
Wiring” as completed for the control zones.
4. Use the 12 wire cable to connect outputs as described in the ZXODM section.
5. The “Active” LED will flash to indicate the ZXEXP
is communicating with the control.

The transformer enclosure ensures that the AC plugin transformer remains securely fixed to the AC wall
outlet. Before installing, disconnect primary power
source. Restore power only after the transformer connection has been double-checked for accuracy.

If the ZXCFM is added to an existing ZX410 control, then the ZX410 control panel must be defaulted
in software programming for commercial fire use.
To default the control panel for commercial fire use:

1. Mount the gang box to the wall or supporting
structure.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

2. Insert the gang box partition into the gang box.
The partition divides the gang box into two sections. The large section contains high voltage
wiring; the small section contains low voltage
wiring.

The system default changes are:

3. Punch out a conduit knockout in the high voltage side of the gang box. Route the 110 VAC
wiring through the knockout hole and into the
gang box. Connect the isolated 110 VAC wiring
to the duplex outlet.

To increase standby current to 60 hours at 180 mA,
two 12 VDC, 17.2 Ah sealed lead acid batteries may
be installed in place of the two 12 VDC, 7 Ah batteries. The CR862 Dual Battery Harness must be used
to connect the 17.2 Ah batteries to the control. The
EB1511 Auxiliary Battery Enclosure is required to
house the batteries. Additionally, all interconnections
must be run in conduit. Install the batteries as shown
in Figure 20.

In order to meet UL864 standby current requirements of 24 hours at 450 mA, a minimum of two 12
VDC, 7 Ah sealed lead acid batteries must be installed utilizing the dual battery harness as shown in
Figure 17. However, a single 12 VDC, 17.2 Ah sealed

When using this power supply on a listed system, a
duplex utility cover for the primary power outlet must
be installed. Install conduit or another listed raceway between all connecting junction boxes and protective enclosures as shown.

The HCP-12SULC Power Supply can provide a 12
VDC power output, with a current rating of 2.0 A
continuous, while the AC primary power source is
present. If the primary source is lost, the HCP-12SULC
electronically switches to the standby battery.

Use only the battery and transformer as recommended in the HCP-12SULC Installation Instructions
P/N 64812502. For information about the connection of additional batteries, see "Optional Battery
Configurations" earlier in this section.

The HCP-12SULC must not be connected to a load which exceeds 2.0A continuous demand.

NFPA RULES

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Rules
The National Fire and Burglar Alarm Association
(NFPA) has established rules to follow pertaining to
fire prevention and the installation of fire detection
equipment.

Testing
This system should be tested weekly. All switches,
contacts, and accessories must be UL Listed devices.
This equipment should be installed in accordance
with the National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 72 (National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02269). Control
panel specifications are subject to change without
notice.

Smoke Detector Locations
For residential applications, install smoke detectors
in each bedroom and outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit
including basement and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke detector should also be installed in each sleeping area.
For family living units with one or more split levels
(i.e.: adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between levels), a smoke detector required
by the above is sufficient for an adjacent lower level,
including basements. EXCEPTION: Where there is
an intervening door between one level and the adjacent lower level, install a smoke detection on the
lower level. For commercial applications, install
smoke detectors in each separate work area, including hallways and storage areas.

Consult smoke detector specifications and local and national
codes for coverage descriptions.

Heat from a fire rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface and begins to bank down from
the ceiling. Corners where the ceiling and walls meet
create air spaces in to which heat has difficulty penetrating. Usually, these dead air spaces measure
about four (4) inches (0.1m) along the ceiling from
the corner and four (4) inches (0.1m) down the wall.
Do not place heat or smoke detectors in these dead
air spaces.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING

System Troubleshooting
When the system detects a trouble condition, it is
periodically displayed on the Control Station(s) and
a trouble tone is sounded. The trouble tone will
sound until it is either silenced (with an OFF +
passcode) or until the trouble condition restores. If
a trouble condition is silenced and then is still present

4 hours after it was silenced, then the trouble sounder
will be re-activated for 5 seconds and again every 4
hours. The display of a trouble condition will continue to appear until the condition either restores or
is cleared.

TROUBLE

Phone Line 2. This condition can be cleared by disabling Monitoring of Phone Line 2. ZX440F alternates
monitoring between Phone Line 1 and Phone Line 2, so it may take several minutes before a fault or restore
occurs.

SMOKE TROUBLE

Indicates that a Smoke Detector needs to be cleaned. This condition will clear automatically some time after
the detector(s) has been cleaned or it may be cleared by performing a Smoke Reset or by pressing the CLEAR
key for 3 seconds.

SUPERVISORY TROUBLE

Indicates that there is a wiring problem on a Fire Supervisory zone or that a Supervisory Alarm condition is
present and has been manually silenced.

ZONE MISSING

Indicates that the zone’s expansion device is not responding to polls from the control panel.

ZONE TROUBLE

Indicates that a wiring problem exists on the zone or that a Burglar Tamper condition exists and the condition
has been silenced.

Introduction

Powering Up With The Control
Station

The Sentrol ZX440F Security System incorporates the
most desired operational features available today. The
ZX440F features ease of installation and programming
with an easy-to-operate keypad. Features such as crosszoning, and an audibles mute function on the keypad help reduce false alarms.

The control comes from the manufacturer with a factory set (default) program. The factory default code
for user passcode No. 1 is 1234. This passcode is
authorized to perform all user level functions. The
default setting for the installer passcode is 9632. The
installer passcode can perform the installer level functions. (See Installer Level Programming - User Data
Description for the listed functions). All zones and Control Stations are assigned to Area 1 at default. The default setting for user passcode No. 50 is 1245 and it
is authorized to perform all user level functions. It is
assigned to both Area 1 and 2.

The ZX440F, when defaulted to Commercial Fire mode,
provides one 2-wire smoke detector zone and ten burglar zones (one delay, two interior and seven instant).
Zones 6 & 12 are dedicated as Phone Line Monitor
and Ground Fault Monitor inputs and may not be used.
A Zone Expander Module (ZXEXP) may be added to
provide an additional 2-wire smoke detector zone and
up to 16 additional zones. Up to 16 RF Points may be
used with the 4710 and 4720 RF Gateways.

When a Control Station is powered-up, it briefly displays a test pattern followed by its data bus address.
The Control Station will then begin displaying information from the control panel. During the first fifteen
seconds after power-up, the control panel will instruct
the Control Station to display the panels software revision and flash the AWAY, STAY, NIGHT, READY, and
TROUBLE LEDs.

The ZX440F Security Control is easily programmed with
any one of four Control Stations (LCD, LED, SSD, or
VFD). The Controls on-board RAM maintains its data
even with the power disconnected.
The ZX440F Security Control allows the division of a
single system into two distinct areas, with an optional
common area. To the customer, each area appears to
be a fully functional system. The common area appears to be an extension of both areas. Each zone must
be assigned to one of the two areas or to the common
area. Each Control Station must be assigned to one of
the two areas and may be extended to operate in the
other area as a secondary area. The common area is
accessible to all Control Stations.

READY
TROUBLE

PANEL REV 2.10
WITH FIRE MODULE
NOTE

The Control may have up to 50 user codes. Each user
passcode must be assigned to one or both of the areas, and it must also be programmed with one of the
15 different levels of authority.

Rev number may change as software
is upgraded.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM

Nearly every option on the control requires the use
of a valid user passcode. The user passcode may be
used for functions in a specific area or system-wide.
Most of the options may be performed at any time,
even while the control is fully or partially armed. To
perform a function, a user must press the key corresponding to that function and then enter a passcode
with the appropriate authority level. For purposes
of discussion, the installer and the end user are both
considered system users, but have different levels of
authorization.

Once the zones are in a secure state, the Control
Station displays:

all secure.

Trouble LED

This LED will illuminate for system troubles (AC failure, low battery,
communication failure), zone troubles, and Burglar Tamper conditions.
(See Operating the System - Trouble Conditions for a complete list of
trouble conditions).

For LED Control Stations only:
Zone Status LEDs

These LEDs generally indicate the condition of zones 1 through 12.
See the ZXLED8/ZXLED12 User Guide for how the LEDs indicate the
Normal, Faulted, Bypassed, Trouble, and Alarm conditions.
These LEDs may also display system trouble conditions and programming information.

Fire Zone LED

This LED indicates the status of the two-wire smoke zone on the main
control board (Zone 30).

For SSD Control Stations only:
Seven Segment Display

The three Seven Segment Display (SSD) characters enunciate system
status, zone status and user information. See the ZXSSD User Guide for
details.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM

Control Station Function Keys
All Control Station function keys (except the View
Info Key) require that the function key be pressed
followed by a valid passcode. The passcodes authority level will determine if the selected function
can be performed. While entering the passcode,
there will be a four second time-out for no activity.
After the passcode has been entered, there will be a
three minute time-out for no activity. The time-out
will return the Control Station to idle. The operator
may press the CLEAR key at any time to return the
Control Station to idle.
Below are the functions associated with keys 0 - 9
and a brief description of the functions. For details
on the operation of these functions, as well as on
the three arming keys, see the appropriate User
Guide.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM

Installer Arming and Disarming

Low Signal (LOW or 1 Control Station beep): a low
or not acceptable level of RF signal was measured by
the receiver for that location of the transmitter. Make
multiple test transmissions, making sure that obstructions between the transmitter and receiver are normal
but minimized (hands away from units, metal ladders
away from receiver, etc.) during these tests. The transmitter and/or receiver will need to be relocated to obtain ACCEPTABLE level readings.

The installer passcode may be used to arm one or
both areas. It may be used to disarm one or both
areas, but only if the area was armed by the installer
passcode. It may be used to silence alarms and to
silence trouble conditions. When it is used to silence a Burglar alarm, it will not disarm the area or
cancel the alarm unless the area was armed by the
installer passcode. For a detailed description of arming and disarming procedures, see the appropriate
User Guide.

No Signal (NO or 1 long Control Station beep):
no RF signal or an extremely low RF signal was measured by the receiver for that location of the transmitter. Bring the transmitter to the RF Gateway and
activate the transmitter. The red LED on the RF Gateway should blink. If it does not, then the transmitter
is not working. If the red LED does blink, but the
signal strength is still NO SIGNAL, then a programming error exists. Check the programming of the
zone in both the RF Gateway and the panel. If the
signal strength is STRONG or ACCEPTABLE, then the
transmitter and/or receiver will need to be relocated
to obtain ACCEPTABLE level readings. Be sure to
power down the control to clear out all signal
strength levels before testing the transmitter at its
new location.

Installer On Premises
When the installer passcode is used to program Function Map data or User Codes, a Local Program Begin event is logged to be reported. A Local Program
End event is logged to be reported 255 seconds after
the programming mode is exited or upon the CLEAR
key being pressed and held for three seconds.

Testing

After testing has been completed, the RF Gateway and
RF Zone Devices should be permanently mounted.

The ZX440F provides the following testing capabilities: Walk Test, Battery Test, Bell Test, Communicator
Test, Keypad Test and RF Signal Strength Test. Refer to
the appropriate User Guide for instructions on performing these tests. Always ensure that a Walk Test (and an
RF Signal Strength Test when applicable) is performed
on a new installation.

NOTE
Series 4000 RF Gateways and
transmitters which are not UL Labeled are not allowed in UL Certificated installations.

To test the Received Signal Strength of each RF Zone
Device, use Test 6 - RF Signal Strength Test. From
the Control Station press the 8 key, followed by
the Installer Code (9632) and then press the 6
key. Next press the RF Zone Device Number (13 to
28). The Control Station will display and sound the
Received Signal Strength of the last transmission sent
by the RF Zone Device. See results below:
Strong Signal (HOT or 5 Control Station beeps):
a strong or high level RF signal was measured by the
receiver for that location of the transmitter. This is a
good location for the transmitter and receiver.
Acceptable (ACC or 3 Control Station beeps): a
normal or acceptable level of RF signal was measured by the receiver for that location of the transmitter. This is a good location for the transmitter
and receiver.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL

Programming the Control
Introduction

Area Partitioning

The control may be programmed locally from any
LED, SSD, LCD, or VFD Control Station. Throughout
this section, the three Panic keys are referred to as
the Left Panic key, Center Panic key and Right Panic
key.

The control may be divided (partitioned) into two
independent areas. To the customer, each area appears to be a full-featured system. This allows one
control to be shared by two independent departments within a common structure.

NOTE

Local Programming

LED Control Stations cannot have a
Secondary Area.

There are two levels of Control Station programming:
User level and Installer level.

Each area can be programmed to control separate
outputs with a dedicated audible or annunciator. It
is also possible to combine the outputs of both areas so that a central siren, bell or audible can be
used. The audible should be positioned so that it
can be heard by all partitions. When partitioning is
not desired, simply designate all zones to a single
area (Area 1).

User Level Programming
Provides the ability to add, change, or delete user
passcodes. It also allows Scheduled Arming and
Latch Key operation to be changed. A user passcode
with authority level 9, 10, or 15 is required to access
the user level programming (see Installer Level Programming - Authority Levels). See the appropriate
User Guide for more information regarding user level
programming.

An example of a partitioning application is a business that is divided into two departments with both
departments occupied by a different manager. The
control communicator would be installed in a secure area (common utility closet) with dedicated and
uninterrupted AC power and telephone service. This
must be considered when planning the control panel
position as the power and phone service to a tenant
may be terminated if that tenant leaves.

Installer Level Programming
Allows total customization of the controls operating features. Only the installer code may access this
level. Anyone attempting installer level programming should be familiar with the contents of this
publication prior to programming the control panel.

Each tenants compartment is assigned an area with a
number of zones, codes, and Control Stations. When
an area experiences an alarm or other event, the adjacent system area is not alerted to the event since the
Control Station would be programmed to respond only
to events in the assigned area (see Table 1).

NOTE
If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it may be impossible to program
the control locally.
If remote programming is used, it is possible to lockout or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company by selecting Lockout Local
Prog. This prevents the installer passcode from
gaining access through local Control Station programming. The installer passcode may still be used
for the non-programming functions described in
Installer Level Programming - Authority Levels. Lockout Local Prog does not affect remote programming.

Another programming feature is the ability to allow
crossover between areas. This allows the user(s) from
one area to operate the other area from a designated Control Station. Programming is discussed in
detail later in this manual. By factory default, users
are only allowed to see and operate their primary
assigned area. Multi-area operation may be useful
for applications where the security system is installed
in a facility that is divided into departments. Each
department has a set of users who are responsible

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL

for arming and disarming only the security system
to which they are assigned. If desired, the system
may be set up to allow one or more users to have
control over both areas (see Table 2).

When reporting to the Central Station, the control
has three sets of Account Numbers. One set for system events, one set for Area 1 events and one set for
Area 2 events. Examples of System events include:
Fire Alarms and Troubles, Common Area Burglar
Alarms, AC Power Failure, Low Battery and automatic
tests. Examples of Area 1 or Area 2 events include:
Burglar Alarms, Holdup Alarms, Opening/Closings.

Another programming feature is common area burglar zones (see Operating the System - Introduction).
These zones may be used when a system needs to
be configured with two separate areas of protection
and a common area. For example, an office building with two separate offices and a common lobby.
The lobby (or common area) only gets armed when
both areas are armed in the AWAY mode. When one
area is armed in the AWAY mode, the common area
becomes an extension of the other area. When either area is disarmed, the common area also is disarmed. Faulted common area zones may be viewed
on all Control Stations.

All events are grouped into several categories with
each category having options of reporting to receiver
A, receiver B and/or a Pager.

Arming and disarming operations with a common
area are the same as without a common area, except that when an area is armed in the AWAY mode,
all common area zones may need to be secure.
Common area zones may not be force-armed, but
they may be bypassed. Common area zones may
be violated while either of the two areas is in Exit or
Entry time countdown.
Maximum Zones = 28
Up to 26 zones may be assigned to either area or
the common area (fire zones are system-wide and
have no area assignment).
Maximum Users = 50
Any number of users may be assigned to either or
both areas.
Maximum Supervised Control Stations = 6
SSD, LCD, and VFD Control Stations can be assigned
to operate in both areas if desired. LED Control Stations can only be assigned to operate in either Area
1 or Area 2.

When in programming mode, an LED Control Station will mimic what is displayed on an SSD Control
Station. The top row of LEDs will correspond to the
first SSD character, the second row to the second
SSD character and the third row to the third SSD
character. If an SSD character is 1 - 9 or A - F, then

that hexadecimal digit will be displayed in binary
on the appropriate row of LEDs. See the Installer
Level Programming section for programming with
the Control Station. It will also show examples of SSD,
LCD, or VFD Control Station displays. There are no
examples for LED Control Stations (see Figure 23).

INSTALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Entering a New Value at a Location

If the ENTER key is pressed, all changes that were
entered will be range checked. The entire time and
date need not be entered. Any fields that are not
entered will remain unchanged. If the data entered
is within range parameters, the clock will be updated
and the Control Station will return to idle. A Begin
Set Clock event will indicate the time before the
change and an End Set Clock event will indicate
the time after the change. If the entered data is out
of range, the Control Station will indicate an error,
erase the previous entries and re-display the current
time and date.

While the Control Station is displaying the value at a
location, you can enter digits to change the value at
that location. The new value is displayed as you
enter the digits. Other keys work as follows:
ENTER

- if pressed after new digits are entered,
the displayed value is stored at the
current location.
- if pressed with no new digits entered,
then it will go to the next location.

Right Panic - if pressed, it will go back one location and ignore any digits entered.
Key
CLEAR

INVALID SETTING

Edit Function Map

- if pressed after new digits are entered,
the new digits will be erased and the
original value will be re-displayed at

- if pressed with no new digits entered,
then it will return to the LOCATION
prompt.

OFF CANCEL - on an LED or SSD Control Station, it
will momentarily display the present
location number.

Press the 9 key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the 3 key to enter Edit Function Map mode. The Control Station
will prompt you for a location to be programmed.
The location numbers, definitions, and valid entries
for the locations are described in the Installer Level
Programming - Function Map section. From this
mode, you may edit the entire Function Map except for User Codes and Zone Names. Editing Zone
Names is described in the Installer Level Programming - Programming Zone Names section. Editing
User Codes is described in the Installer Level Programming - Programming User Codes section.

NOTE
When you press the ENTER key to
store the new value, the system will
store the value as entered. It is the
responsibility of the programmer to
enter a value within the specified
range. If the value entered is out of
the range, then undesirable operation
may occur. In some cases, if the value
entered is too large, it will be truncated before it is stored causing a different value to be stored than was
entered.

From the LOCATION prompt, enter digits for the
desired location number. The digits entered will be
displayed. If more than three digits are entered, the
first digit entered will be discarded. If you make a
mistake, you may press the CLEAR key to clear out
the location and start over. When the desired location number is displayed, press the ENTER key. The
Control Station will then display the current value
programmed at that location.

INSTALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Programming Account Code and
Telephone Number Digits

As in programming normal fields, if too many digits
are entered, the first digit entered will be discarded.
The ENTER, OFF CANCEL, Right Panic key, and CLEAR
keys will work the same as described above.

When the location being programmed is an account
code or telephone number digit (see Installer Level
Programming - Communication Telephone Numbers
Description and Area Event Reporting Description),
the value will be displayed as an H followed by a
single digit. The H indicates that this location is a
Hexadecimal field. The valid entries for these locations are 0 through F, where A - F correspond
to 10 - 15 respectively.

Additional Programming Notes

To exit out of Edit Function Map mode and return
the Control Station to the idle state, press the CLEAR
key from the LOCATION prompt. (You may need to
press the CLEAR key several times to get to the LOCATION prompt). An End Local Programming
event will not be logged until 255 seconds after you
exit programming mode. This is to allow you to exit
and re-enter programming mode repeatedly without logging each one. To force an End Local Programming event to be logged, immediately (i.e.:
to have it reported to the Central Station), press and
hold the CLEAR key for three seconds.

Programming Report Codes and Attribute
Fields

When programming the value at the last programming location, the Control Station will return to the
LOCATION prompt if the ENTER key is pressed.

To program a digit, enter digits as normal. To enter
an A - F, enter a 1 followed by a 0 through 5.

If the panel has been programmed from RPM/2 Pro
and the Agency Code has been loaded into the panel,
then the locations corresponding to the telephone
numbers and account codes will not be editable.

When the location being programmed is a report
code (see Installer Level Programming - Zone Report Codes Description thru System Report Codes
Description) or an attribute field (see Installer Level
Programming - Area Data Descriptions thru Zone
Data Descriptions and System Report Codes Description thru Area Schedules Description), the value will
be displayed as an H followed by two digits. The
H indicates that this location is a Hexadecimal field.
The valid entries for these locations are 00 through
FF, where A - F correspond with 10 - 15 respectively. The Control Station display will automatically
display the hexadecimal value.

Programming Zone Names
Only the LCD and VFD Control Station may be used
to program zone names. Press the 9 key and enter
the installer passcode to enter programming mode.
Press the 4 key to program the zone names. The
Control Station will prompt you for a Zone ID to be
programmed. The valid Zone IDs are 1 - 5, 7 - 11,
13 - 30.

To program one of these locations, enter digits as
normal. To display a 1 in the first digit location,
you must enter a 0 before the 1, i.e. 01 displays
a 1. To enter an A - F, enter a 1 followed by a 0
through 5. For example:
Enter
1-2-3
0-1-2
1-8
0-1-1-0
1-2
2-1

Enter a number corresponding to the Zone ID and
press ENTER. Once a valid Zone ID is selected, the
control will display the Zone ID and the current Zone
Name with the cursor on the first character. Press
the key associated with each character. Each keypress
will change the display to the next character listed
for that key. The characters available for programming the Zone Names are located on the next page.

Program RF Data
After the last digit is entered, the data is sent to the
RF Gateway and is confirmed and the Control Station returns to the RF Device selection prompt. If
the data is successfully loaded into the RF Gateway,
the Control Station beeps twice. If the RF Gateway
does not respond, the Control Station sounds an
error tone and briefly displays an error message.
Check the data bus connections to the RF Gateway.
If the 8 digit number entered for the RF Zone is already stored in the RF Gateway for another zone,
the Control Station sounds an error tone and briefly
displays a message indicating the duplicate zone.

In order for an RF Zone Device or RF User Device to
be received by an RF Gateway, the address of the RF
Device must be programmed into the RF Gateway
(as described in the next two sections). The ZX440F
can support up to 12 RF User Devices per RF Gateway and up to 16 RF Zones. The 16 RF Zones are
programmed into the RF Gateways as devices 13-28
corresponding to zones 13-28. The 12 RF User Devices are programmed into a RF Gateway as devices
1-12 in any order (there is no correlation between
these devices and the Control Panels configuration
data). The 4710 RF Gateway is restricted to devices
13-20 for zones 13-20 and devices 1-12 for twelve
RF User Devices.

From the RF Device prompt, select another RF Zone
Device or press the CLEAR key to return to the RF
Gateway prompt. From the RF Gateway prompt you
can switch to program the other RF Gateway (if applicable) or press the CLEAR key to exit.

Programming RF Zone Devices Into the RF
Gateway

Press the 9 key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the 9 key to Program RF Data. The Control Station prompts you to
select an RF Gateway to program. Press 1 or 2.
The Control Station then prompts you to select an
RF Device to program.

One RF Zone Device may be programmed into both
RF Gateways, but it must be programmed into a different zone on each gateway. When programming
RF Zone Data into two RF Gateways, be sure to note
which zones are programmed into each RF Gateway. When the zones are then programmed into
the Control Panel, select the correct RF Gateway as
the Expansion Device for that zone.

Enter 13 thru 28 to select an RF Zone and press ENTER. The Control Station displays the eight digits
that are currently programmed in the RF Gateway
for that zone. For each digit, you may program a
new value by pressing a digit key. The Control Station will automatically move to the next digit. To
move to the next digit without changing the current digit, press the ENTER key.

Programming RF User Devices Into the RF
Gateway
Press the 9 key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the 9 key to Program RF Data. The Control Station prompts you to
select an RF Gateway to program. Press 1 or 2.
The Control Station then prompts you to select an
RF Device to program.

The first digit to enter is the Supervision setting
where:
0 = Unsupervised
1 = Reserved
2 = Reserved
3 = 4 Hours
4 = 24 Hours

Enter 1 thru 12 to select an RF User Device and press
ENTER. The Control Station displays the eight digits that are currently programmed in the RF Gateway for that device. For each digit, you may program a new value by pressing a digit key. The Control Station will automatically move to the next digit.
To move to the next digit without changing the current digit, press the ENTER key.

The next seven digits to enter come directly off of a
label on the RF Device.
If you make a mistake while entering the eight digits, press the CLEAR key and the Control Station returns to the first digit.

The first digit to enter assigns the RF User Device to
a keypad. This is required to determine the area of
operation of the RF User Device and for the Access
function. Enter 1 thru 6 for a keypad assignment.

After the RF Devices have been programmed into
the RF Gateway, they must also be programmed in
the Control Panel. The programming options for the
Control Panels Function Map are described in Installer Level Programming - Function Map. When
RF Devices are used in an installation, be sure to consider the following:
For an RF Zone Device, the zone data described in
Installer Level Programming - Zone Data Descriptions must be programmed for the selected zone.
The Zone Type, Area Number and Burglar Zone Attributes locations are programmed as usual. The
Expansion Device location must be set to the appropriate RF Gateway for the zone. The first digit of
Zone Attributes location doesnt need to be programmed because it is ignored for Wireless Zones,
but the second digit must be programmed as usual.

The next six digits to enter come directly off of a
label on the RF User Device.

For an RF User Device, a user passcode must be created that consists of the last four digits of the RF
Devices address (see Installer Level Programming Programming User Codes). An appropriate authority level and area assignment must also be programmed for that user (see Installer Level Programming - User Data Description). It is also required that
either the area assignment of the user passcode or
the area assignment of the associated keypad must
be a single area (i.e. an RF User Device on an RF
Gateway can only operate on one area). An RF User
Device can be programmed into two RF Gateways
with different keypad assignments on each. If the
devices passcode is operational in both areas and
the keypad on one RF Gateway is operational in one
area and the keypad on the other RF Gateway is
operational on the other area, then the RF User Device can operate on either area depending on which
RF Gateway detects it.

If you make a mistake while entering the eight digits, press the CLEAR key and the Control Station returns to the first digit.
After the last digit is entered, the data is sent to the
RF Gateway and is confirmed and the Control Station returns to the RF Device selection prompt. If
the data is successfully loaded into the RF Gateway,
the Control Station beeps twice. If the RF Gateway
does not respond, the Control Station sounds an
error tone and briefly displays an error message.
Check the data bus connections to the RF Gateway.
If the 8 digit number entered for the RF User Device is
already stored in the RF Gateway for another device,
the Control Station sounds an error tone and briefly
displays a message indicating the duplicate device.
From the RF Device prompt, select another RF User
Device or press the CLEAR key to return to the RF
Gateway prompt. From the RF Gateway prompt you
can switch to program the other RF Gateway (if applicable) or press the CLEAR key to exit. In most
cases, you can program an RF User device into both
RF Gateways.

NOTE
For UL 1637 Home Health Care, RF
User Devices may only be assigned
to user passcodes 1-30.

Determines which areas the passcode can be used to perform
operations on. If a 3 is selected, the Control Station it is used on
must be programmed for both areas in order to access both
areas.

Authority Levels
Authorities levels 1 through 10 are the general purpose levels with level 10 having the highest capabilities. Level 11 is for limited disarm capabilities
(ie: Maids passcode). Level 12 is for User on Premises reporting. Level 13 is for Duress reporting.

Control Station will beep 4 times after the 1st
passcode is entered signifying that it has been accepted. The 2nd passcode may then be entered.
Level 15 is for maintenance activities only. Level 15
does not allow the user to arm or disarm the system, only to maintain it.

For High Level Security applications, only levels 14
and 15 should be used. If levels 14 and 15 are used,
all other users should be set to Level 0 (zero).

See the table on the next page for the options available for each authority level. To disable all capabilities, set the authority level to zero (0).

Level 14 needs 2 different level 14 passcodes in

INSTALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Output Definitions Description
Each output is assigned a condition (i.e.: Burglar,
Fire, Status, Alarm) and areas to which it should respond when the condition is active in those areas.
For access conditions, the output is assigned to a
Control Station(s). Output conditions 1 - 12 ignore
the area setting.

This data block is used to assign the programmable
outputs. The ZXCFM on a ZX440F is equipped with
three bell outputs (FIRE BELL 1, FIRE BELL 2 & OTHER
BELL) and one programmable output (PGO1). No
outputs are available on the ZX440F Control Board.
Additional outputs can be obtained in groups of ten
by the addition of output driver modules (ZXODM)
or a zone expander (ZXEXP). The 10 outputs on
ODM2 are identical to the 10 outputs on the zone
expander.

Programmable Output Activation

Fire Bell Outputs Activation

The programmable outputs will be activated according to their Output Condition listed in the following
table. The output will go ON STEADY for the following conditions unless otherwise specified in the table
below.

The activation of the Fire Bell 1 & Fire Bell 2 Outputs
depends on whether a zone is programmed for Water
Flow or not. If a zone is programmed as Water Flow,
then a Fire Alarm from that zone will always activate
Fire Bell 2 and a Fire Alarm from a Fire or Verified Fire
zone or the Left Panic key will always activate Fire Bell
1. If there is not a Water Flow zone, then a Fire Alarm
from a Fire or Verified Fire zone or the Left Panic key
may activate Fire Bell 1 and/or Fire Bell 2.

Other Bell Output Activation
The Other Bell Output is assignable to a combination of areas and may activate due to an alarm condition in any of the areas. A Burglar Alarm, a Burglar
Tamper, a Holdup Alarm, the Center Panic key, an
Auxiliary Alarm, or the Right Panic key may activate
the Other Bell Output.

The cadences of both Fire Bell 1 and Fire Bell 2 are
programmable.

Each alarm type is programmable for Pulsed or
Steady (See Inst. Level Prog. - Global System Options). If more than one alarm type is active at the
same time, the Other Bell Output will annunciate
the highest priority alarm. The priority order is Auxiliary, Burglar and Holdup.
If any of the Other Bell Outputs areas have Closing
Ringback Annunciation set to Ringback Output,
Keypads, and Bell Output, the Other Bell Output
will emit a two second ringback tone. (See Inst. Level
Prog. - Area Data).
To prevent accidents, the Bell Test on AWAY arm and
the Ringback Bell are disabled while the duress output is active.

DESCRIPTION

Phone Lines

0 to 22
(see Phone Lines Table)

First digit is used to enable phone line 1 for digital communicator
event reporting and to enable monitoring of phone line 1. The
second digit is used to enable phone line 2 for digital communicator event reporting and to enable monitoring of phone line 2. If a
phone line is disconnected, turning off the monitoring of that line
will clear the PHONE LINE FAIL trouble condition.

Enable Skip Test

0 = No
1 = Yes

Allows the auto comm test to be skipped if any signal has been
transmitted to the Central Station since the last auto comm test.

Power-up Comm Test

0 = No
1 = Yes

Causes a communicator test to be initiated immediately upon system power up. Does not affect days between tests counter.

Disable Call Waiting

0 = No
1 = Yes

If enabled, the system will automatically dial *70D (Touchtone
only) prior to dialing a telephone number. This will temporarily
disable the Call Waiting beeps during a phone call.

Comm Test Time of Day

00:00 to 23:59 HH:MM

Sets the hour and minute in military format for the auto communicator test.

Days Between Comm Tests

0 = Disable, 1 to 255 days

Sets the time intervals in days for the auto communicator test. A
setting of 0 disables Automatic Comm Test Reporting. Days until
next comm test may be manually adjusted by Control Station. (See
Installer Level Programming - Days Until Next Comm Test).

Time Between Calls

0 to 255 seconds

Time in seconds between a failed dial attempt to a Central Station
and the next dial attempt.

Trans Formats

00 to 44
(see Trans Formats Table)

First digit defines the transmission format used when the communicator dials the phone number for Central Station 1. Second digit
defines the transmission format used when the communicator dials the phone number for Central Station 2. (See Inst. Level Prog.
- Prog. Notes, Note 11).

Dialer Types

00 to 22
(see Dialer Types Table)

First digit defines the type of dialing used on phone line 1. Second
digit defines the type of dialing used on phone line 2.

CS1 Dial Attempts

1 to 15 attempts

Maximum number of dial attempts when the communicator dials
the phone number for Central Station 1.

CS2 Dial Attempts

1 to 15 attempts

Maximum number of dial attempts when the communicator dials
the phone number for Central Station 2.

Pager Dial Attempts

1 to 15 attempts

Total number of dial attempts when the communicator dials a Pager
phone number. All attempts will be used.

Pager Delay Time

0 to 255 seconds

Time in seconds that the communicator waits after dialing before
blindly sending a pager message.

On-Hook Time
& Off-Hook Time

1 to 15 seconds

Before the communicator dials a phone number, it seizes the phone
line and goes off-hook for two seconds. It will then go back onhook for the On-Hook Time to disconnect an existing phone connection. The communicator will then go back off-hook for the OffHook Time to acquire dial tone before dialing.

INSTALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Dialed Digits Allowed

Pager Telephone Numbers

All five phone numbers allow up to 20 hex digits.
The two Pager Header Messages allow up to 16 hex
digits. See also Installer Level Programming - Programming Account Codes and Telephone Number
Digits.

When an event is sent to a pager, the events Area
Pager Phone Number is dialed. System events are
sent to the Area 1 Pager Phone Number. The communicator then waits the Pager Delay Time (see I.L.P.
Communicator Data Descr.) before blindly sending
a pager message. The pager message may consist
of up to 16 digits from the appropriate Pager Header
Message followed by a two digit code from the Pager
Event Table. Or, if the Pager Header Message is not
needed, put an F in its first digit and the appropriate
four digit account code is used in its place. The Pager
Event Table is also available on a wallet card.

0-9

Numbers from 0 to 9 dial the appropriate
Touchtone® or pulse digit.

Same as 0.

Programming a B into any digit position
causes the communicator to produce a
Touchtone® * tone. Useful for unique applications such as voice mail, cellular, or paging applications.

Programming a C into any digit position
causes the communicator to produce a
Touchtone® # tone.

D, E

D = 3 second pause
E = 1 second pause
An F may be programmed after the last digit
of a number to signify end of dialing. An F
entered as the first digit of a number disables
that number.

Only one message is sent per phone call and the call
is made for the number of Pager Dial Attempts specified. There is no feedback from the pager, so pager
events do not affect the failed to communicate condition.

NOTE

The paging network setup for
your area determines if your
pager will work with a pager
telephone number.
