Installation and Setup Guide

Zones and Partitions
Each protection zone needs to be programmed with various attributes using *56 Zone
Programming mode or *58 Expert Programming mode. Refer to those sections for detailed
procedures.
The system can control three independent areas of protection (known as partitions) for use
by independent users, if desired, by simply assigning zones to one of the partitions during
zone programming. The system, by default, automatically distributes users among the three
partitions. The master user can change the user number distributions.
Zones can also be assigned to a common area partition if partition 3 is so designated, which
is an area shared by users of the other two partitions (such as a lobby in a building). This
allows either independent partition to arm, while leaving the common area partition
disarmed for access into the other partition. The following describes the functioning of the
common area partition, if used:
• The common area sounds and reports alarms only when both the other partitions are
armed. If only one partition is armed, the system ignores faults in the common area.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common area is faulted, but once armed, the
other partition will not be able to arm unless the common area zones are first bypassed or
their faults are corrected.
• Faults in the common area are displayed on common area keypads, and will also appear
on another partition’s keypad when that partition is armed.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common area after an alarm.
Keypads
Keypads are identified by predefined addresses (starting at address 16) as follows:
