Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)

Master Keypad Operation

A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a security officer in a building to have to "log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.

A description of a typical display follows:

SYSTEM

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

STATUS

R R N N A T B

 

 

The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on the display. Possible status indications include:

A = Armed Away

M = Armed Maximum

S = Armed Stay

I = Armed Instant

R = Ready

N = Not Ready

B = Bypassed/Ready

= Alarm Memory/Trouble present

To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [*]

+[Partition No.] (i.e., 4). This will allow viewing only of that partition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on with a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) to view the status of all partitions, that user must have access to all partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.

The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:

WHSE DISARMED

HIT FOR FAULTS

This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s). Pressing will display:
