Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d)

Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new partition’s status, press + [Partition No.]. This will display the status of the new partition.

The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all partitions are "ready to arm."

The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of the sounds is as follows:

A.Pulsing fire alarm sounds

B.Steady burglar alarm sounds

C.Trouble sounds

The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master keypad.

Common Lobby Operation

When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of other partitions in a building, that shared partition may be assigned as a “common lobby” partition for the system. An example of this might be in a medical building where there are two doctors and a common entrance area.

This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common lobby. Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm the common lobby. This will affect the way the lobby will react when arming or disarming activity occurs in another partition.

Partitions that affect the lobby will cause the following to occur:

a.When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.

b.The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affects the lobby is armed.

c.Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will not automatically attempt to arm the lobby.

Partitions set to arm the lobby will cause the following to occur:

a.When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.

b.The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affects the lobby is armed.
