Other System Information
Common Zone Operation
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is an area shared by users of both
partitions, such as a foyer or lobby. If so, please note the following:
The common zone will sound and report alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one
partition is armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.
Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other
partition will not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.
