The MS-5024 does not support cross-zoning; instead, it utilizes a single-zone Alarm Verification feature to reduce false alarms. This feature is only compatible with zones programmed as 2-wire smoke detectors (Page 44) [1].
To configure Alarm Verification:
Enter programming mode and navigate to Address 52.
Enter 1 to enable verification (factory default is '0' for disabled) (Page 44) [1].
Ensure the desired zones (1-5) are programmed as 2-wire smoke detectors at Addresses 57-61 by entering 0 (Page 45) [1].
When enabled, the panel will respond to an initial alarm by removing power for 6 seconds to reset detectors, followed by a 12-second retard period for stabilization. If the same zone alarms again during the subsequent confirmation time, the panel processes a verified alarm (Page 44) [1].
