SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Partitioned Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today.

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. Your system consists of at least one keypad which provides control of system operation, and includes various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire .

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status and provides appropriate information for display on the keypad(s) used with the system, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.

Simply stated, a partitioned system is a single physical alarm system that provides two independent areas of protection intended for use by separate users. For the most part, you need not know about other users and their structure in the system. However, when the system is set up for 2-partition operation, you may see display messages from time to time which indicate that the system is in use by another user; this is normal. A partitioned system may also have a "common zone" area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions. Refer to the COMMON ZONE OPERATION section for details on using this feature.

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with a description for that zone (on Alpha display keypads only, if programmed) when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
