Theory of Partitioning
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to 8 different areas, as if each had its
own control. These areas are called partitions. Partitions are used to disarm certain areas
while leaving other areas armed, or to limit access to certain areas to specific individuals.
Each system user can be assigned to operate any or all partitions, and can be given a
different authority level in each.
Before anything can be assigned to those partitions, you must first determine how many
partitions (1-8) are required.
Following are some facts you need to know about partitioning.
Keypads
Each keypad must be given a unique "address" and be assigned to one partition (it can also
be assigned to Partition 9 if Master keypad operation is desired. (See “Master Keypad Setup
and Operation” later in this section).
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition.
The zones assigned to a partition will be displayed on that partition's keypad(s).
Users
Each user may be given access to one or more partitions. If a user is to operate more than
one partition and would like to arm/disarm all or some of those partitions with a single
command, the user must be enabled for Global Arming for those partitions (when entering
user codes).
A user with access to more than one partition (multiple access) can "log on" to one partition
from another partition's keypad, provided that program field 2*18: Enable GOTO is enabled
for each partition he/she wants to log on to from another.
A partition can be selected as a "common lobby" partition, and other partitions can affect this
partition by causing arming/disarming of this partition to be automated (see “Common Lobby
Logic” later in this section).
