Partitions
Each Partition consists of a group of zones that the
Control Panel manages independently (Virtual Control
Panel). Each Partition can be programmed with its own
Codes, Timers, Actions and Parameters.
This Control Panel manages 16 Partitions. You can
setup the Partitions in the
Zones
group.
The
Partitions
group allows you to set up the options
for the zones, as described below.
The first column shows the Partition Identification Num-
ber.
Label
This option is for the Partition Label (16 charac-
ters). The Partition
Label
will identify the Partition in all
the operations it is involved in.
SMS Label
Enter a code to identify the Partition in the
operations via SMS (see “USER MANUAL > SMS
OPERATIONS”).
Valid values:
up to 5 characters.
Default:
the identification number of the Area.
Time-Entry Delay
Any partition can have an
Entry
Delay
, during which the
Entry Path
and the
Entry De-
lay
zones are not able to alarm the partition. This time
starts when the partition is armed in Stay or Away
mode, and an
Entry Delay
zone is violated.
The Partition
Entry Delay
will be signalled by:
Ø
the
Entry Delay on partition
event for the partition
Ø
an audible signal from the partition keypads
Ø
activation of partition’s wireless sirens (sound and
flash) if the option
Wireless Module
>
Wireless Si-
rens
>
Exit Entry Beeps
is enabled
The duration of the timer should be programmed to
have enough time to reach the point in which the parti-
tion can be disarmed.
Ø
The valid range is 15 to 3600 seconds
Ø
The default setting is 30 seconds.
Time-Exit Delay
Any partition can have an
Exit Delay
,
during which the
Exit Delay
zones are not able to alarm
the system. This time starts when the partition is armed
in Stay or Away mode. At the end of the
Exit Delay
the
Exit Delay
zones becomes Instant zones.
The Partition
Exit Delay
will be signalled by:
Ø
the
Exit Delay on partition
event for the respective
partition
Ø
an audible signal on the partition keypads
Ø
activation of partition’s wireless sirens (sound and
flash) if the option
Wireless Module
>
Wireless Si-
rens
>
Exit Entry Beeps
is enabled
Ø
The valid range is 15 to 3600 seconds;
Ø
The default setting is 30 seconds.
Time-Last Exit
Violation of an Armed
Last Exit
Zone
will trigger the programmed
Last Exit Time
of its Parti-
tion. This feature will allow the system to Arm as soon
as the programmed
Last Exit Time
expires.
Ø
Valid entries: 5 through 3600 s, in 1-s steps.
Ø
If you enter a higher value, it will be converted auto-
matically to the maximum admissible value.
Ø
Default setting: 15 seconds.
Time-Negligence
Under normal circumstances, Us-
ers Arm their systems with a certain regularity, if this
does not occur, it may be due to Negligence on the
User’s behalf or may mean that the User is in difficulty
(due to serious illness, accident or delinquency), in
which case, this feature will prompt the Central station
operator to take the necessary action.
This option will allow you to set the
Negligence Time
. If
the system is not Armed within the programmed time,
the Control Panel will generate the
Negligence on Par-
tition
event.
Ø
Valid entries: 0 through 40 days in 1-day steps.
Ø
If this option is left at default (0), Negligence will not
be signalled.
Negligence
will be signalled by:
Ø
the
Event negligence on partition
event — relevant
to the Partitions the Zone is assigned to.
Time-Inactivity
This option allows the system to moni-
tor alarm zone inactivity (non-detection of motion),
when the partition is disarmed. The
inactivity
function
provides protection against the detector blinding and al-
lows the system to detect zone malfunction. Under nor-
mal circumstances, users disarm the system when they
are on the premises, therefore, the zones should detect
motion (violation) quite frequently. If this does not occur,
the system will suppose that the user is unable to move
(due to serious illness, accident or delinquency) and as
a result will generate a
Delinquency on Partition
event, thus prompting the central station operator to
take the necessary action.
Ø
Valid entries are 0 through 240 hours (10 days)
1-hour steps.
Ø
Zero meas that zone inactivity will not be signalled.
Ø
The default setting is zero.
Zone inactivity will be signalled by:
Ø
the event
Delinquency on partition
— relating to
the partitions the zone is assigned to.
Ø
ON status of the
a
indicator on keypads;
Ø
the tamper
Delinquency
on keypads, in
View Sig-
nals
mode.
The following information will be recorded in the event
log.
Ø
EVENT: Delinquency
Ø
WHO: label of the zone that triggered the inactivity
event.
Ø
PARTIT.: list of the partitions the zone is assigned to.
Zone inactivity will end when:
Ø
the zone restores standby;
Ø
the zone triggers an alarm;
Ø
ALL the partitions the zone belongs to disarm.
The end of a zone inactivity event will be signalled on
the
a
LED (OFF) on keypads which are enabled on at
least one of the partitions the zone belongs to.
