zone Explanation: For purposes of alarm systems and fire prevention/extinguishing systems, large buildings are often divided into zones. As well as helping the controllers identify the location of the fire/incident it also helps avoid sprinkling a whole building when the fire is only located in one corner of the basement, for example. -> "The detection system is divided into two zones: zone 1 is room 133, and zone 2 is the plate vault area including the GAMMA rooms. The positions of the detectors are shown on the annunciator panel, located next to the control panel." http://www-gsss.stsci.edu/Scanning/halon.htm -> "With over 12 plug-in optional function boards, the FIREQUEST 300 system is both expandable and highly flexible. The zone interface board (ZIB) supplies connections for four dual initiating boards (DIB). As each DIB provides two initiating zone loops, a ZIB provides eight initiating zones in a single bus slot. With its capacity for seven ZIBs, the FIREQUEST 300 system provides up to 58 zones." http://www.simplexgrinnell.com/fire/products/autocall/firequ...
