Section 2 – Partitioning
2-3
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby
Codes with Global Arming
If a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see
SECTION 9: User Access Codes ), the keypad prompts
the user to select the partitions they want to arm. Only
the partitions the user has access to are displayed. 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, for the lobby partition, (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
S T A T U S R R N N A
∗
B
Possible status indications include:
A = Armed Away S = Armed Stay M = Armed Maximum
C = Comm Fail I = Armed Instant R = Ready
N = Not Ready B = Bypassed/Ready
∗
= Alarm
T = Trouble F = Fire Alarm P = AC Power Failure
L = Low System Battery
To obtain more information regarding a particular
partition, enter [
∗
] + Partition No. (e.g., [
∗
] + [ 4]). This
allows viewing only of that partition. In order to affect
that partition, the user must use a code that has access
to that partition.
Also, in order for a user of any partition to log on to
Partition 9 to view the status of all partitions, that user
must have access to all partitions. Otherwise, access is
denied.
The following is displayed for a fault condition on Zone
2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse)
when a user logs on from a keypad on Partition 9:
WHSE DISARMED
HIT
✴
FOR FAULTS
Pressing [
∗
] causes the following display to appear at
Partition 1's keypad(s):
FAULT 002 LOADING
DOCK WINDOW
Additional zone faults are displayed one at a time. To
display a new partition's status, press [
∗
] + Partition
No.
The Armed LED on a Master keypad is lit only if all
partitions have been armed successfully. The Ready
LED is lit only if all partitions are "ready to arm." The
Ready LED is lit if only one partition is armed. Neither
LED is lit if only some partitions are armed and/or only
some partitions are ready.
Press [
∗
] + [0] or [
∗
] + [9] to return to the master
partition. Otherwise, if no keys are pressed for 2
minutes, the system automatically returns to the
master partition
The sounder on a Master keypad reflects the sound of
the most critical condition on all of the partitions. The
priority of the sounds, from most to least critical, is as
follows:
1. Pulsing fire alarm sounds
2. T4 CO alarm sounds
3. Steady burglar alarm sounds
