Partitions
•
Partitions provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition
containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other
zones or users.
•
Partitioned systems can include a common area, which is an area shared by users of
two other partitions (such as a lobby in a building).
•
Some users may be given the authority to view status and arm/disarm other
partitions.
•
See
Accessing Other Partitions
section for details.
Zones
•
Each partition consists of specific protection points known as zones.
•
When a zone is faulted, its zone number is displayed on the keypad for easy
identification.
Keypads
•
The system is controlled from the keypad, and the keypad displays system status.
•
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only
that partition's information.
•
When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made
within 4-5 seconds of one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression,
the entry will be aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.
•
If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the [
∗
] key, and
then start over. If you stop in the middle while entering a code, and then
immediately start the entry over, an erroneous code might be entered.
Keypad Lockout:
The system may have been programmed to lockout the keypads
for 15 minutes if more than 30 keystrokes (within a 15 minute period) are made
without a valid user code plus command being entered. The message “Code
Sabotage” is displayed during the lockout period.
Voice Keypads
•
Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other keypads.
•
Voice announcements of system status (see Before Arming section)
•
Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and windows while the
system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in Chime mode section)
•
Message center, which lets you record and playback messages (see Using the Voice
Message Center in the
System Overview
section).
Security Codes
•
Your installer assigned you a security code at the time of installation. This code is
required to perform most system functions.
•
Each security code can have a different authority level which defines the functions
each user can perform. Refer to the Security Code section for details on adding and
changing security codes.
Arm/Disarm
•
You can arm your system in several different modes, depending on whether you are
staying in or leaving the premises.
•
To arm the system, simply enter your security code followed by the desired arming
mode key.
•
To disarm the system, enter your security code followed by [1] OFF.
•
Refer to the Arming/Disarming sections for specific arming commands.
