Appendix II: Programming a Common Area

30 40 50 160
Some commercial premises include two or more separate areas linked by a common area.
You can program a control unit to allow users to set each area independently, and then set
the common area automatically when the last occupant leaves the premises. The Full Set
Link option in Installer Menu - Partitions provides this feature.
Figure 14 shows a typical example of a commercial building that could use the "Common
Area".
The business using the building is split into Factory and Office departments. These two
sets of users work different hours. The manager wants each department to be able to set
their own part of the alarm system separately. The common area including the Foyer,
Kitchen and Toilet should only be armed when there is no one in the building. This will
allow either the Factory or the Office staff to use those facilities when part of the alarm
system is armed.

Installation and Programming

If the installer wishes to employ wired zones only they should use FSL wiring. The i-onEX range
control units provide connections for 10 FSL zones on their PCBs; the i-on40 provides
connections for 16 zones on its PCB.
For best operation, there should be two keypads: one fitted in the Loading Bay and the
other fitted in Reception.
When starting the control unit for the first time select "Partitioned system" (not part setting
system).
In the i-onEX range and i-on40 control units Partition 1 is always the common area. Use
Partition 1 for the Foyer, Kitchen and Toilet. Partition 2 can be used for the Factory and
Loading Bay. Partition 3 can be used for the Office and Reception. To make the common
