  • Page 22: How The Arming Modes Differ

    How the Arming Modes Differ Your security system can be armed in a number of ways, to suit different situations. These modes are summarized below. Full Arming.

  • Page 55: What Areas Do

    What Areas Do The S5832 control panel allows you to divide (or "partition") a building into as many as eight areas, regions that can be armed and disarmed individu- ally. Designed primarily for commercial settings, areas can limit an individual's access to portions of a building.
  • Page 56 can be independently armed and disarmed. In the case of the first building illustrated, an employee can work in the re- pair shop while the showroom, offices, and warehouse are armed. Similarly, in the case of the second illustration, the restaurant can remain open af- ter the other shops are closed and armed.

  • Page 57: How Areas Affect User Codes

    How Areas Affect User Codes As described below, some of the user code types function differently in a partitioned system. Grand Master User Code. The grand master user can assign and change user codes, and may be able to arm and disarm the entire system. Only the grand master user and your installer can view and change the grand master user code.

  • Page 58: Pre-Assigned User Numbers

    Pre-Assigned Area User Numbers As the table below shows, some user numbers are reserved for specific user types. For example, User 11 is the pre-assigned Kidwatch user number. If programmed, your system automati- cally restricts User 11 to the limited Kidwatch privileges. When your system does not recognize a given user type, the user number functions like other non-reserved user numbers.

  • Page 59: How Areas Affect The System
