How User Codes Affect the Common Lobby

Codes with “Global” Arming

If your code is given “global arming” when it is defined, the keypad will ask “Arm All?” or “Disarm All?” whenever you try to arm or disarm the partitions you have access to. This allows you to pick and choose the partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the “automatic” operation of the lobby. Keep in mind, however, that if attempting to arm all, and another affecting partition is disarmed, you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message “UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITON” will be displayed.

Codes with “Non-Global” Arming

If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be automatic, as described in the previous table.
