APPENDIX A. Partitioning
Your system is equipped with an integrated partitioning
feature that can divide your alarm system into three distinct
areas identified as Partition 1 through 3. Partitioning can be
used in installations where shared security systems are
more practical, such as a home office or warehouse
building. When partitioned, each zone, each user code and
many of your system's features can be assigned to Partition
1 to 3.
Note: When Partition Mode is disabled, all zones, user
codes, and features of the PowerMaxExpress will operate
as in a regular unit. When partition mode is enabled, all
zones, user codes, and features of the PowerMaxExpress
are automatically assigned to Partition 1.
