Chapter 9
9.0 Managing Partitions
A partition is a limited area of the premises which operates independently from the other areas. Par-
titioning 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 its own
keypad, or a keypad can have access to all partitions. User access to partitions is controlled via access
code. A master code can access the entire system and partitions, while a user code is limited to assigned
partitions.
9.1 Partitions
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions.
NOTE: Access to this feature must be configured by installer.
9.1.1 Single Partition Operation
Single partition keypads provide access to alarm functionality for an assigned partition.
Single partition keypads behave as follows:
l Displays the armed state of the partition.
l Displays open zones, if assigned to the partition the keypad is on.
l Displays bypassed zones and allows zone bypassing or creating bypass groups of zones
assigned to the keypad partition.
l Displays system troubles (system low battery, system component faults/tampers).
l Displays alarms in memory that occurred on the partition.
l Allows the door chime to be Enabled/disabled.
l System test (sounds bells/PGMs assigned to the partition).
l Label programming (zone, partition and user labels for the partition).
l Command output controls (outputs assigned to the partition, or global outputs such as smoke
detector reset).
l Temperatures.
9.1.2 Loaning a Keypad to Another Partition
Keypads can be loaned to operate on other partitions (LCD keypads only). When a keypad is loaned
from either the global state or from another partition, it may be configured to behave on the loaned par-
tition just as it would if it was originally assigned there.
An access code must be entered before loaning a keypad to another partition. An access code is also
required to perform any function on that partition. The status of each partition will be identified by a par-
tition flag. For an explanation on partition flags, see the following table.
