Partition Options
The X-Series alarm panels have eight partitions that can have a number of zones and users allocated to
them. A partition is a separately controlled group of zones. Zones can be unique to the partition or can be
shared between partitions for areas that are common, and are referred to as common zone.
NOTE: A common zone will only trigger an alarm condition if all partitions that it’s allocated to are
armed.
