O p e r a t i o n
When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of another partition(s) in a building,
the shared partition may be assigned as a "Common Lobby" partition for the system.
An example of this might be in a medical building where there are two doctors and a common
entrance area. This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common lobby.
Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm the common lobby. This will affect the way the
lobby will react when arming or disarming activity occurs in another partition.

Affecting the Lobby (Disarming)

Partitions that affect the lobby will cause the following to occur:
•
When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.
•
The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affects the lobby is
armed.
•
Arming the last partition that affects the lobby
•
When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be disarmed.

Arming the Lobby

Partitions set to Arm the lobby will cause the following to occur:
•
The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affects the lobby is
armed.
•
Arming the last partition programmed to arm the lobby will automatically attempt to arm the

lobby.

NOTE: If any faults exist in the lobby partition, or another partition that affects the
disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY
PARTITION" will be displayed.
