Integriti Zone Configuration
Overview
In the Integriti platform, a “Zone” or “Input” refers to a physical or logical connection that the system monitors for state changes. This is typically used for security detectors like PIRs, reed switches, and smoke detectors.
Technical Details
Input States
The system recognizes four primary states for supervised inputs:
- Sealed: The normal, secure state.
- Unsealed: The active state (e.g., motion detected).
- Tamper: Indicates a circuit fault (e.g., cable cut or short).
- Isolated: The input is temporarily ignored by the system.
End-of-Line (EOL) Monitoring
Integriti uses resistors to supervise input circuits.
- Standard Scheme: Dual 2k2 resistors (2.2kΩ).
- Other Supported Schemes: 4k7/4k7, 10k/10k, and legacy 2k2/6k8 (from older Concept hardware).
- Supervision: Allows the system to distinguish between a simple trigger (Unsealed) and a deliberate attempt to disable the sensor (Tamper).
Configuration Steps
Configuration is performed in the Integriti System Designer software:
- Locate Input: Navigate to the
Hardwaretab and expand the controller/module tree to find the desired physical input. - Name the Zone: Provide a descriptive name (e.g., “Main Warehouse PIR”).
- Select EOL Type: Ensure the EOL configuration matches the physical resistors installed at the sensor.
- Assign to Area: For an input to trigger an alarm, it MUST be assigned to an Area.
- Assign Process Group: Select a Process Group (e.g.,
Intruder/Burglary) to define how the system responds to state changes (sirens, reporting, delays).
Troubleshooting
- Input Won’t Seal: Verify the physical wiring and measure resistance. Ensure the EOL resistors match the software configuration.
- Constant Tamper: Indicates an open circuit or a mismatch in resistor values. Check for loose terminals.
- Module Offline: If all inputs on a module are showing as “Offline,” verify the RS485 LAN connection and module addressing.
