Chapter 2: Areas
Your installer can set your keypad to recognize separate
protected areas. Having separate areas in your system can
be useful in situations where shared security systems are
more practical. For example, a company that has both an
office and a warehouse area, can arm and disarm each
area separately while controlling access to each area.
Therefore, one person may have access to only one area,
whereas another person may have access to all areas.
Access to the areas is determined by the user code.
Area Status Display
The Area Status Display allows you to see the status of the
individual areas within a partitioned system. Your installer
can partition the system into separate areas.
