Partition
Basics
•
Each keypad is assigned to a partition by your installer and is used to perform functions in
that partition and display that partition’s system status.
•
Certain users, if authorized, can “GoTo” another partition from their partition’s keypad to
perform functions in the other partitions or display another partition’s status. See GoTo
command below.
•
Certain users, if authorized, can arm/disarm all partitions with a single command from
their home partition. See Multi-Partition Arming below.
Common Area
•
Your system may have been set up to use a common area, which is an area shared by users
of the other partitions, such as a foyer or lobby.
•
If a common area is part of the system and one of the partitions is armed, faults occurring
in the common area will be displayed on its keypads
and
the disarmed partition’s keypads.
•
The common area will be armed and will sound and report alarms only when
both
the
other partitions are armed; if either of the other partitions is disarmed, the common area
remains disarmed and ignores faults.
•
Either partition can arm its system if the common area is faulted, but once armed, the
other partition will not be able to arm unless the faulted common area zone is bypassed or
the fault is removed.
•
Either partition can clear and restore the common area after an alarm.
•
Entry/exit time for the common area is the same as for partition 1.
GoTo
Command
•
Security code + [
∗∗∗∗
] + partition number
(0,1,2, or 3), where:
0 = return to keypad’s original partition; 1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = common part.
•
You can only “goto” those partitions that were assigned to you.
•
Can only be performed using an Alpha keypad.
•
The keypad remains in the new partition until directed to go to another partition, or until it
automatically returns to the original partition (after 2 minutes with no keypad activity).
Multi-
Partition
Arming
•
Security code + [0] + arming command
(2, 3, 33, 4, 7, or 1),
where:
2 = arms all partitions AWAY; 3 = arms all partitions STAY
33 = arms all partitions NIGHT-STAY (INTERNAL)
4 = arms all partitions MAXIMUM; 7 = arms all partitions INSTANT
1 = disarms all partitions
•
You can use this feature only if assigned that authority and you must use an alpha
keypad.
•
The system arms only if all partitions are “ready to arm” (unless the system is
programmed to allow arming with faults in certain zones); if any partition is “not ready,”
the system does not arm at all.
•
You can use the GoTo command to bypass open zones before arming, if desired.
•
If any partition is already armed when multi-partition arming is attempted, that
partition remains in its existing armed state.
•
The keypad from which multi-partition arming/disarming is performed will also display
zone events from all partitions that were multi-partition armed/disarmed.

Rules
•
Only the system master can define macros.
•
A macro key is a convenience key that can activate up to 16 keystrokes.
•
Typical functions include arming sequences, bypassing zones, or turning on/off electrically
operated devices.
•
Two macros can be assigned in the system, but only to keys pre-programmed by the
