How to Check the Status of Other Partitions
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (depending on the system.) Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system
to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions) depending on the system you have purchased. Each Touchscreen is assigned a
default partition for display purposes and shows only that partition's information.
NOTE: A letter “H” following the partition name or number indicates that this is the default partition for the touchscreen. For example, if
your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, your alarm system may be configured with four partitions. Each apartment’s
zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent
arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A landlord or manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can
control the entire system.
If a user is so authorized, a touchscreen or other touchscreen in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another partition.
(Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.)
To check the status of other partitions, perform the following:
1. Touch the Security icon.
2. Select the Current Partition icon; in this
case it displays P1 H unless changed by
the installer).
3. Enter the code authorized to access other
partition(s).
If the code is accepted, the system displays
the partitions that user has access to.
This screen displays the available partitions and their current status.
The current partition is shown at the top of the display (P1). To
change this assignment, select the appropriate icon (e.g., press P2
to switch control to Partition 2).
NOTE: After leaving this screen when using a residential system,
the selected partition in the touchscreen automatically reverts back
to the touchscreen’s home partition after two minutes. When using
commercial systems, you must select the touchscreen’s home
partition to return to it.
NOTE: A code may have access to some or all of the available
partitions.
