ClareOne Zone Profiles Tech Bulletin

Zone Profiles are introduced with the release of ClareOne v2.0. Zone Profiles provide the dealer/installer with flexibility to customize ClareOne sensors and their behavior on ClareOne.

Summary

A Zone Profile is a collection of advanced properties that are applied to each sensor (aka zone types), every sensor must be assigned a zone profile.

Basic zone settings are not part of zone profiles and can be changed independent of the selected zone profile. In most cases, the default zone profiles will provide the necessary configuration required for a zone.

For more advanced configuration and for special use cases, each zone profile setting can be edited in the Advanced Settings section of the sensor settings. If one or more advanced settings are changed, and the collection of settings do not equal the settings for an included Zone Profile, "Custom" will be displayed as the selected Zone Profile name. The selected Zone Profile can then be changed at any time from Custom to one of the provided Zone Profiles available for the sensor type.

Profile Properties

When adding or editing a zone, there are two types of settings that can be used to configure the zone - Basic Settings and Advanced Settings:

Basic Settings

Basic settings include the following (note, not all settings are exposed for all sensor types):

Voice Annunciation

Enabled –Zone annunciates the name of the sensor which was opened/activated.

Disabled – Zone does not annunciate the name of the sensor which was opened/activated.

Open Chime

Enabled – Chime sounds when a sensor is opened/activated.

Disabled – Chime does not sound when a sensor is opened/activated.

Cross Zoning

Enabled - Links 2 or more sensors together. If one of the sensors in the “Cross Zone” is tripped and another sensor in that cross zone is tripped within the set time, an alarm is triggered.

Disabled – (Default) Cross zoning is not active.

Low Battery Detection

Enabled – (Default) Low battery warnings from sensor are displayed on ClareOne and in application with a battery icon on the zone list.

Disabled – Low battery warnings from sensor are not displayed on ClareOne or in application.

Normally Open

Enabled – Changes the external contact detection from normally closed to normally open.   Normally open contacts are not touching when sensor is in it’s not faulted state. Closed when in their faulted state.

Disabled – (Default) External contact detection is set to normally closed. Normally open contacts are touching when sensor is in it’s not faulted state. Open when in their faulted state.

Note: Applies only to sensors with external contacts.

Advanced Settings

Advanced settings which can be applied to all sensor types. Each setting has a default value depending on the sensor type. The following list defines each setting available in Advanced settings.

Tamper Alarm

Enable – When a zone is tampered while in an armed state, at tamper alarm will be generated. When not armed a tamper trouble is generated.

Disabled – When a zone is tampered while in an armed state, at tamper alarm will not be generated. When armed or not armed, a tamper trouble is generated.

Delay Report

Enabled – Alarm delivery is delayed (configurable on ClareOne panel settings) after an alarm is tripped to allow time to cancel it.

Disabled – Alarm delivery is immediate after an alarm is tripped. Should be used with all Fire and Life Safety zones.

Report Action

Alarm - Default setting for ALL zone profiles.  Used for "normal" reporting to central station when a zone is tripped.  Sends the programmed "report code" to central station according to zone profile default settings.

Zone - Sends the programmed "report code" to the central station regardless of panel arming status (24/7). Effectively creates a silent alarm as ClareOne panel siren does not activate. Recommended use case is to use with with a Door/Window with External Contact to create a silent panic alarm for the central station when the external contact is activated. Alarm code for zone must be updated accordingly. 

Zone Profiles Applications and Default Settings

Advanced settings which can be applied to all sensor types. Each setting has a default value depending on the sensor type. The following list defines each setting available in Advanced settings.
