3.0 Understanding Areas (Partitions)

Your alarm system might be partitioned.

A partitioned system is a system that is divided into two to eight areas that you can arm and disarm independently. Each keypad and keyfob can be assigned to arm and disarm individual areas or the entire system. Only your installing company can change the areas that a keypad or keyfob controls.

If a keypad is set to arm and disarm the entire system, you can assign user codes (PINs) to arm and disarm individual areas. Refer to Section 8.0 Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) on page 23 for more information.

The following applies in a partitioned system:

User PIN numbers are always required to perform operations in a partitioned system.

If the user PIN has authority in only one area, using that PIN on any keypad performs arming and disarming commands only for the area in which the user has authority.

If the user PIN has authority in more than one area, the user can arm or disarm those areas by entering the commands from any keypad.

Only users with access to all areas attached to a common zone can arm that common zone.

If the user PIN has authority in more than one area, the user can arm or disarm the first area only by entering the PIN number, [##], and the arming/disarming command, the second area only by entering the PIN number, [####], and the arming/disarming command, and so on.

If custom arming (PIN [#][4]) is used in a Partitioned system, the following apply:

-Users with access to all areas can custom arm all zones.

-Users with access to all areas cannot custom arm a single area.

-Users with access to one area can custom arm any zones in that area, but cannot arm common zones or zones in other areas.

LCD (Text) keypads alternately display (about every 2 seconds) the current status of each area.

LED keypads alternately display (about every

2 seconds) the current status of each area using the LEDs.

Refer to Section 4.0 Understanding the Text and LED Keypads on page 5 for details.
