message. The device ID and next available zone number are displayed. Press [*] to accept or scroll to another available
zone number. Batteries must be installed in the wireless device in order to enroll.
Various zone features are programmable depending on the type of device. See "Zone Setup" on page 64 for details.
Pre-Enrollment
Pre-enrollment is a two step process. The first step requires entering each device ID ([804][001]-[716]). Every wireless device
has an ID printed on the sticker attached to the device. The format is XXX-YYYY where:
XXX identifies the type or model of the device
l
YYYY is a short encrypted ID used by the system to identify the specific device
l
Pre-enrollment can be done at a remote location and using DLS/SA. The second step is to press the enrollment button on
the device, usually done on location. Installer Programming does not have to be entered at this step. Both steps must be per-
formed in order to complete the enrollment.

3.4 Working with Partitions

A partition is a limited area of the premises that operates independently from the other areas. Partitioning a system can be
beneficial if the property has outbuildings that need to be secured independently of a main area or if the home has a sep-
arate apartment.
Each partition can have its own keypad or a keypad can have access to all partitions (only if all partitions belong to the same
owner). User access to partitions is controlled via access codes. A master code can access the entire system and partitions,
while a user code is limited to assigned partitions.
Setting up a partition requires configuration of the following:
create the partition
l
define bell/siren operation
l
assign keypads
l
assign zones
l
assign users
l
3.4.1 Setting Up a Partition
Partitions are added or removed from the system by applying or removing a partition mask via Installer Programming section
[200]. The number of available partitions depends on the alarm panel model. See "[200] Partition Mask" on page 99 for more
information.
3.4.2 Bell/Siren Operation
Each partition must have a siren. The system siren connected to the bell output of the alarm controller can be mounted in a
central location within hearing range of all partitions. Each partition can also have wireless sirens activated only on the
assigned partition. See "Wireless Programming" on page 116 for details.
Single Siren Output Operation
With a siren shared across all partitions, control over activation/deactivation of the output depends on the partition that ini-
tiated the alarm sequence. Only the partition that originated the alarm can deactivate the bell output.
Global zones, such as smoke detectors shared by multiple partitions, can deactivate the siren on all partitions the zone is
assigned to.
Multiple Siren Output Operation
When multiple sirens are used in the installation, they can be programmed to sound alarm conditions for all partitions, or for
individual partitions by using a partition enable mask.
If hardwired sirens are used, this is accomplished via bus power supplies with a supervised high-current output. The output
is then programmed as a Fire and Burglary PGM output type.
Note: Only the first output of the HSM2204 output module has bell supervision. Some conditions, such as an installer system
test, may override the partition assignment and cause all sirens to activate. User system tests only activate the sirens/outputs
assigned to that partition.
