How do I program the Kidde Aegis 2.0 cross-zone detection so that two circuits must activate before the releasing circuit fires?

To program cross-zoning on the Kidde Aegis 2.0, you must set the Application Mode for the specific Release Circuit to a cross-zone selection, typically option 5 for Detection Circuits 1 and 2. This configuration ensures the panel requires two active alarms before initiating the release countdown. (Page 45) [1]

1. Enter the configuration menu by entering the three-digit password (default 1-8-6). (Page 49, 53) [1]
2. Press Acknowledge to advance to Configuration Item 03 (Release Circuit 1) or Item 04 (Release Circuit 2). (Page 49, 53) [1]
3. Press Output Disable to cycle through the selections until the display shows the desired cross-zone mode, such as '5' for DET 1 and DET 2. (Page 49, 53) [1]
4. Press Acknowledge to save the selection and move to the next item. (Page 49, 53) [1]
5. Continue pressing Acknowledge until the display shows '???' to reach the end of the menu. (Page 53) [1]
6. Press Signal Silence to accept the changes and exit, then press System Reset to reboot the panel. (Page 49, 53) [1]
