Arming/Disarming Remotely
If arming or disarming remotely (through Compass downloading software), the lobby will not
automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or disarm the lobby. The
lobby must be armed separately, after arming all affecting partitions first.
Auto-Arming/Disarming
If scheduling is used to automatically arm and/or disarm partitions, the common lobby
partition will not automatically follow another partition that is programmed to arm or
disarm the lobby. The lobby must be included as a partition to be armed/disarmed and must
be scheduled as the last partition armed.
If using auto-arming, make sure that the Auto-Arm Delay and Auto-Arm Warning periods (fields
2 05 and 2 06) combined are longer than that of any other partition that affects the lobby. This
will cause the lobby to arm last.

Master Keypad Setup and Operation

purpose of assigning keypads as master keypads for the system.
Any keypad assigned to Partition 3 in the Device Programming Mode (refer to # 93 Menu
Mode Programming in the Quick Start Guide) will make that keypad a master keypad. A
master keypad reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-2) on its display at one
time. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a building security officer to log-on to
various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.
The following is a typical display:
Possible status indications include:
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [ ]+ [Partition No.]
(e.g.,
user must enter a code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a user of any
partition to log on to Partition 3 to view the status of all partitions, that user must have
access to all partitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.
The following would be displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on
Partition 1 (Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 2:
A = Armed Away
S = Armed Stay
R = Ready
B = Bypassed/Ready
