How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby
Codes with Global Arming
If a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see the User Access Codes section), the
keypad will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever the user tries to arm or disarm (from
an alpha keypad) the partitions he has access to. This allows the user to choose the
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the "automatic" operation of the lobby.
Keep in mind, however, that if a user attempts to arm all, and another "affecting" partition is
disarmed, the user cannot arm the lobby, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY
PARTITION" is displayed.
Codes with Non-Global Arming
If a user arms with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation is automatic, as described
by fields 1*18 and 1*19.
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming
Common Lobby logic remains active when arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or
arms the common lobby in one of the following manners:
•
Quick-Arm
•
Keyswitch
•
Wireless Button
•
Wireless Keypad
Arming/Disarming Remotely
If a user arms or disarms remotely (through Compass downloading software), the lobby does
not automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or disarm the lobby.
The lobby must be armed separately, after arming all affecting partitions first.
Auto-Arming/Disarming
If scheduling is used to automatically arm and/or disarm partitions, the common lobby
partition does not automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or
disarm the lobby. The lobby must be included as a partition to be armed/disarmed and must
be scheduled as the last partition armed.
If you are using auto-arming, make sure that the Auto-Arm Delay and Auto-Arm Warning
periods (fields 2*05 and 2*06) combined are longer than that of any other partition that affects the
lobby. This causes the lobby to arm last.
Master Keypad Setup and Operation
Although this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for the
purpose of assigning keypads as Master keypads for the system.
Assigning any keypad to Partition 9 in Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode makes
that keypad a Master keypad. A Master keypad reflects the status of the entire system
(Partitions 1-8) on its display at one time. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a
building security officer to have to log on to various partitions from one partition's keypad to
find out where an alarm has occurred.
The following is a typical display:
S Y S T E M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
