ADEMCO VISTA-32FB Installation And Setup Manual page 19

c. Arming the partition that is programmed to arm the lobby will cause the system to
automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any faults exist in the lobby partition, or
another partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the
message UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION will be displayed.
You cannot select a partition to arm the lobby unless it has first been selected to affect the
lobby. Enable field 1 18 before enabling field 1 19.
The following chart sums up how the common lobby partition will operate if different options
are set for another partition in fields 1 18 and 1 19.
