Areas and accounts

B9512G control panels support up to 32 areas. B8512G control panels support up to 8 areas.
You can assign all points to a single area or distribute them over multiple areas.
Users can turn areas on and off individually or together. You can assign an authority level to a
user that allows the user to turn an area on from a remote keypad in another area.
Assigning each area its own account number creates up to 32 separate accounts in the
B9512G, and up to 16 separate accounts in the B8512G.
Assigning the same account number to different areas groups them together in a single
account.
Area options include exit tone and delay, separate fire and burglary outputs, and multiple
opening and closing windows. Use area types to create area relationships.
For systems with more than one area, all areas must be under the responsibility of one
ownership and management. This may be a group of buildings attached or unattached and
may even have different addresses but are under the responsibility of someone having mutual
interest (other than the alarm installing company). This does not apply to strip mall
applications where each independent business must have their own separate alarm system.
An example for a commercial system would be a business that has an OFFICE area and a
WAREHOUSE area in a building where each area can be armed or disarmed independently.
As a residential example a system could be configured with the garage and house as separate
areas.
In each of the examples above, all of the areas are under the sole responsibility of a single
owner.
In multi-area systems, the bell (or siren) and control panel must be in one of the protected
areas.
The bell or siren must be located where it can be heard by users who turn areas on and off
(arm and disarm).
3.3.4

Digital communication

The control panel uses its built-in Ethernet connection, a B426 Conettix Ethernet
Communication Module, a Conettix Plug-in cellular module (B440/B441/B442/B443 plugged
into the control panel or plugged into a B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface), or a
B430 Plug-in Telephone Communicator to send reports to the central station receiver.
The control panel sends reports in either the Modem4 or ANSI-SIA Contact ID format.
The system can route Event Reports to four different destinations through an IP network or
the telephone network (PSTN). Program primary and backup reporting destinations for each.
A custom option allows you to specify which Event Reports the system sends.
3.3.5

Keypads

The B9512G supports up to 32 keypads, including up to 16 SDI keypads. The B8512G
supports up to 16 keypads, including up to 16 SDI keypads.
The control panel supervises all SDI2 keypads. Supervision for the 16 SDI keypads is
configurable.
3.3.6

Events

Event memory
The control panel retains point alarm and trouble events for each area in event memory. You
can view event memory on a keypad. Turning an area on clears the event memory for that area.
