Partitions
In a partitioned system, a keypad must belong to at least one partition. You can use this
option to assign each keypad to one or more partitions. By default, a keypad belongs only
to partition 1.
Note: If you do not assign a keypad to a partition (and there is no loudspeaker assigned to
the partition), users of that partition will not be able to hear entry/exit tones and alerts for
the partition.
Once you have assigned a keypad to a partition:
 The keypad will display messages and give tones for the assigned partition(s).
 A Partition User can use only keypads assigned to the same partition as the user's
code or proximity reader tag.
 All other users can use any keypad. While they are using a keypad, the display
shows information from partitions assigned to the user, not to the keypad. Once the
user has finished with a keypad, the keypad reverts to showing information from the
partition(s) it is assigned to. If you do not allocate keypads to the correct partitions,
this may mean that a keypad will show alerts from a partition that a user is not
authorised to set or unset.
An All Partitions option is available to assign or de-assign the keypad to or from all
partitions.
Key A/B/C/D
These options allow you to program the A, B, C and D (quick-set) keys.
In a part-setting system, you can enable the quick-set keys to full set the system, or part
set part sets B, C and D.
In a partitioned system, you can enable a quick-set key to full set or part set individual
partitions.
Alternatively, in both part-setting and partitioned systems, you can program a quick-set key
to trigger a user-defined output (see page 69).
Each keypad can have a different arrangement of quick-set keys. For example, the A key
on keypad K-51 might part set partitions 1 and 2, but on keypad K-52, it could be
programmed to full set partition 3.
Each quick-set key can have a name. The keypad displays this name while the system is
setting after the user presses that key.
Note:
 The partition(s) that the keypad is allocated to does not influence the configuration
of the quick-set keys. A user will be able to set any partition that the user is allowed
to set.
 The ABCD LEDs at the keypad show the state of the quick-set keys. When all the
partitions/part sets that a quick-set key is allocated to are set, the associated LED
glows. For example, if quick-set key A is programmed to full set partition 1 and part
set partition 4, then whenever partition 1 is full set and partition 4 is part set, LED A
glows.
 If you enable the quick-set keys, the control unit no longer complies with EN50131.
See page 83.
 The control unit logs the use of quick-set keys under a quick-set user identity (see
page 130).
