To use zone feature, you should activate BioStar2 AC license first. And then, you can use Biostar 2 zone.
The concept of Biostar2 fire alarm zone is similar with BioStar version1 like below.
Electrical specification
If the electrical output of Fire Alarm Control panel is too high, the input port of Suprema device will be broken.
o Switch Input
o VIH (V) - Min. 3V ~ Max.5V
o VIL (V) - Max. 1V
o Pull-up resistance (Ω) - 4.7k
- The input ports are pulled up with 4.7k resistors
The difference is the number of devices per one single zone. And, other difference is zone mode.
