VISTA-32FB Installation and Set-Up Guide
In the tables below, the notations in parentheses ( ) indicate the current status of the other
partition when the user takes action.
Sequence #1:
Sequence #2:
Notice that in sequence #1, since Office #2 was the last to arm, the lobby also armed (Office
#2 is programmed to affect and arm the lobby). In sequence #2, the lobby could not arm
when Office #2 armed, because Office #1, which affects the lobby, was still disarmed.
When Office #1 armed, the lobby still did not arm because Office #1 was not programmed to
arm the lobby. User #1 would have to arm the lobby manually. Therefore, it would be
desirable to program a partition to affect and arm the lobby if the users of that partition are
expected to be the last to leave the building.
Do not assign Partition 1 as the common lobby. All fire zones should be assigned to this partition
to ensure that all fire test modes operate correctly.
How User Access Codes Affect the Common Lobby
Codes with Global Arming
If a code is given global arming when it is defined (see Section 29: User Access Codes), the
keypad will ask ARM ALL? or DISARM ALL? whenever the user tries to arm or disarm the
partitions he/she has access to from an alpha keypad. This allows the user to choose the
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the automatic operation of the lobby.
Keep in mind, however, that if the user attempts to arm all and another affecting partition is
disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the message UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY
PARTITION will be displayed.
Codes with Non-Global Arming
If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be automatic, as
described by fields 1 18 and 1 19.
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming
Lobby logic remains active when arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms
the common lobby in one of the following manners:
•
Quick-Arm.
•
Keyswitch.
