Partitions and Zone Assignment

A partition is a limited area of the premises which will operate
independently of another area of the premises. You can create
up to eight partitions on the Power864 system. For example, in
an office/warehouse installation the warehouse area and the
office area can be on separate partitions. With this arrangement,
employee access can be limited to either area.
To set up the system for more than one partition, you must turn
on each partition in section [201].
You can assign any zone to any of the partitions. Global Zones
are zones assigned to more than one partition. A global zone will
only be armed when all assigned partitions are armed. The zone
will be disarmed when any assigned partition is disarmed.
By default, zones 1 through 8 are assigned to partition 1. If addi-
tional zones are being used, or if the application requires more
than one partition, you must program which zones are assigned
to which partitions. You can do this in programming sections
[202] - [265].
NOTE:Zones programmed as the Null (disabled) zone type
must be removed from all partitions (see section 5.1 "Zone
Definitions" on page 20).
You can assign any Access Code to work on any of the partitions
(see section "[*] [5] Programming Access Codes" on page 16).
You can assign keypads to work on either a single partition, or on
all partitions (Global operation). See section 2.6 "Keypad
Assignment" on page 8.
Each partition can be programmed to report using a different
Account Number. See section 5.6 "Communicator - Account
Codes" on page 23.
Some of the Programmable Output options are also selectable by
partition. See section 5.12 "Programmable Outputs" on page
28.

Communicator - Dialing

If the Communicator Disable option is selected the panel will
not attempt to call central station. If enabled the panel will
attempt to call central station when an event occurs that has a
valid reporting code programmed (see section 5.8 "Communica-
tor - Reporting Codes" on page 25). You must also program a
valid telephone number.
Communicator Call Direction Options are used to select
where the panel will send different kinds of reporting codes
when events occur. You can choose to have the panel send
reporting codes to:
• 1st telephone number (via land line)
• 2nd telephone number (via land line)
• 1st telephone number (via LINKS1000/GSM1000)
• 2nd telephone number (via LINKS1000/GSM1000)
• Alternate Communicator (via LINKS2X50)
These options are programmed separately for each type of
reporting code, and for each partition.
The different types of reporting codes are:
• Alarm/Restore codes (by partition)
• Tamper Alarm/Restore codes (by partition)
• Opening/Closing codes (by partition)
• System Maintenance Alarm/Restore codes
• System Test Transmission codes
When the Force Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial
out regardless of the presence of dial tone. Each dialing attempt
will follow this pattern:
a) the panel picks up the telephone line and searches for dial
tone for 5 seconds
b) if no dial tone is found, the panel hangs up and waits for 20
seconds
c) the panel picks up the telephone line again and searches for a
dial tone for 5 seconds
d) the panel will then dial regardless of the presence of dial tone
If there is no initial handshake recognized within 40 seconds the
panel will then hang up the line.
If the Force Dialing option is disabled, each attempt will still fol-
low the above pattern, except that the panel will not dial in step
(d) if no dial tone is detected.
The Delay Between Dialing Attempts timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
If the Busy Tone Detection option is enabled, the panel will
hang up after detecting busy tone for 5 seconds and will redial
after the amount of time programmed in the Delay Between
Dialing Attempts section.
If DTMF Dialing is enabled the panel will dial using DTMF (touch
tone). If Switch to Pulse Dial is enabled the panel will switch to
pulse dialing on the 5th attempt to call the central station. If dis-
abled the panel will always dial DTMF.
If DTMF Dialing is disabled the panel will always pulse dial.
The Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of
time the panel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If
the panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call a
failed attempt, hang up and try again.
The Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum
number of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the
central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate (FTC)
