Zoneguard ZG800 Installation Instructions
ZONEGUARD is a Grade 3 EN50131-3:2009
Environmental Class II zone omit unit that fits
between intruder detection devices and a control
panel to allow the devices to be securely and safely
omitted and reinstated.
In its simplest mode ZONEGUARD uses its integral
keyswitch to omit or reinstate. Other modes are
available using the integral keypad or external
devices such as biometric reader or a combination of
keyswitch and keypad, useful where dual
responsibility is needed. Timed entry/exit modes are
also available.
The ZONEGUARD requires a supply of 12vdc.
(120ma quiescent - 200ma peak)
General Rules
A. Zones will always omit using an omit function.
B. If any zone has a detection condition during
reinstatement, then it must be returned to omitted
state and the detection condition cleared and then
reinstated.
When powered, no indications should be seen. If the
unit should bleep and LED III indicates then the
memory has been corrupted and the unit will require
setting up.(See ‘set/change mode’ instructions)
The NVM (Non Volatile Memory) remembers how
the unit was previously set up, including the code, if
used, after a power down.
There are seven operational modes:
1.Integral keyswitch mode. (Factory default)
2. Integral keypad mode.
3.Remote latching input mode, eg. keyswitch
4. Remote non-latching input mode, eg.
biometric).
5.Combination of integral keypad & integral
keyswitch.
6.Timed entry/exit, integral keyswitch execute.
7.Timed entry/exit, integral keypad execute.

In any mode, when the zones are re-instated, a long
single bleep will sound.
instating, or in modes 6 and 7 the entry/exit start
contact is open, then the tone will not silence after 2
seconds, but continue to indicate that all is not well. In
addition to the sounder, an led will indicate the source
of the problem, either alarm zones 1 and 2 (LED I and
LED II), or the entry/exit start ting contact LED III.
If a fault is indicated, then you must omit the zones
again. The led indication will remain until the source
of the fault is cleared, then the led indication will clear
and re-instating can be attempted again.
User Code Changing from the keypad
An authorised user, can change the code from the
keypad, but only if the zones are not omitted. To
change the code, simultaneously press 0 and 1 a
double beep will sound and three LEDs will be
illuminated. Enter the current code, a double beep will
sound and LED I will extinguish LEDII and LEDIII will
remain illuminated. Enter the new code. A double
beep will sound, LEDII and LEDIII will extinguish.
The change must be completed within 30 secs.

Zone omit theory
The main reason to use a Zone Omit Module, is to isolate a 24 hour protected zone from a security system without having full
access to the security system and having isolation rights. It is NOT a local alarm.
One way to isolate a device is to short circuit the monitoring contact, so that when the monitored contact opens it appears as closed
to the system. The simplest way of doing this is with a low cost keyswitch. However with just a keyswitch, an open contact will
switch back onto the security system and cause a false alarm if accidentally left open when switching back. The zone omit module
ensures that this does not happen and gives a local warning if you attempt to reinstate the open omitted device.
The Zoneguard ZG800 achieves this and does not isolate tampers thus allowing end of line monitoring by the security system.
Classic fully supervised loopFully supervised loop with ZG800 zone omit
A1(2)
Shunt
Switch
ZG800
The EOL is always monitored by the intruder alarm electronic circuitry. When the shunt switch of the ZG800 is switched,
the ZG800 circuitry starts to monitor the alarm loop (A1 or A2). This is why it is essential that there are no electrical
connections external to the ZG800 between the Alarm loop and the EOL loop. Connections include resistors and links.
The ZG800 alarm loop monitoring is required to prevent faults from being reinstated onto the security system.
Any connections to the X and Y terminals pass through the Zoneguard without interference eg EOL and anti-mask. Anything
across the ‘A’, terminals gets omitted.

SOUNDER
The Zoneguard provides a local warning if a zone is not secure
when you try to reinstate it onto the security system. It will leave
both zones omitted if a fault is present. Normally the closed loop
comes from a closed door or a detector that is not detecting. In the
case of an unused zone, the loop allows the Zoneguard to
