10 Managing Partitions
A partition is a limited area of the premises which operates independently from the other areas.
Partitioning a system can be beneficial if the property has outbuildings that need to be secured inde-
pendently of a main area or if the home has a separate apartment.
Each partition can have it's own keypad, or a keypad can have access to all partitions. User access to parti-
tions is controlled via access code. A master code can access the entire system and partitions, while a user
code is limited to assigned partitions.
10.1 Partitions
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions.
10.1.1 Single Partition Operation
Single partition keypads provide access to alarm functionality for an assigned partition.
Single partition keypads behave as follows:
• Displays the armed state of the partition.
• Displays open zones, if assigned to the partition the keypad is on.
• Displays bypassed zones and allows zone bypassing or creating bypass groups of zones assigned to
the keypad partition.
• Displays system troubles (system low battery, system component faults/tampers).
• Displays alarms in memory that occurred on the partition.
• Allows the door chime to be Enabled/disabled.
• System test (sounds bells/PGMs assigned to the partition).
• Label programming (zone, partition and user labels for the partition).
• Command output controls (outputs assigned to the partition, or global outputs such as smoke detector
reset).
• Temperatures.
10.1.2 Loaning a Keypad to Another Partition
Keypads can be loaned to operate on other partitions. When a keypad is loaned from either the global state
or from another partition, it may be configured to behave on the loaned partition just as it would if it was
originally assigned there.
Loaning a keypad to another partition does not require an access code; However, no function that requires an
access code can be performed on that partition unless the user’s code has sufficient permissions. The status
of each partition will be identified by a partition flag. For an explanation on partition flags see Table 10-1.
NOTE: Access to this feature must be configured by installer.
