Zone Attributes
Zone attributes are the settings that control the overall behavior of devices within the zone. The zone may be configured as
latching or non-latching, silenceable vs. non-silenceable, among other attributes

selection box to select or deselect the option, i.e., silenceable or latching.
All zones default to an “Alarm” style or type when first created. The figures shown below are examples of the default attributes of
