Each radio detector and remote setting device contains a digital identity code
that the RFX unit "learns" during installation. The code is one of over 16
million possibilities. This ensures that the RFX unit will not respond to any
other detectors or remote setting switches apart from the ones it has learned.
For more information, refer to the appropriate "Installation and Programming
Guide" for the radio expanders you are using.
Partitioned or Single System
During installation, the Installer can configure the system as a partitioned
system or as a single system.
In a partitioned system, the control unit has one full set level (security level A)
and three part set security levels (levels B, C and D).
When working as a partitioned system, the control unit effectively provides
four smaller alarm systems. Within a partitioned system:
• Each partition can be set, unset or in alarm independently of the others.
• You can assign individual keypads to one or more partitions. The keypads
can only set or unset the partitions to which they are assigned.
• Each partition can have its own Bell and Strobe Set output.
• Zones can be assigned to more than one partition; for example, an entry
door zone may be shared by several companies using separate partitions.
In a single system, users can set only one level at a time. Level A sets the
whole system. Levels B, C and D set parts of the system. The Installer
allocates zones to levels, but all keypads operate the entire system. There is
only one sounder output for the whole system, and you can use a loud-
speaker for setting tones and local alarms. All users belong to the whole
system.
You can set up the panel as a single or partitioned system using Command
98 (this will also restore the control unit to factory defaults).
For an overview of the programming steps required to set up a partitioned
system, see Chapter 4 in the Programming Guide.
User Control
The control unit provides 50 independent User access codes and a separate
Duress Code. Users can change these codes at any time but cannot use
them to program the system. During installation, the Installer can select
whether access codes use four or six digits.
