Arming/Disarming - Partitioned Systems - Electronics Line 3000 iConnect Installation Manual

For combination arming, perform the following procedure:
1. Check if the system is ready to arm.
2. Activate the first arming mode.
3. If One-Key Arming is disabled, enter your user code.
4. While the exit delay of the first arming mode is counting down, activate the second arming mode.
5. If One-Key Arming is disabled, enter your user code.
Note: It is not possible to activate Full and Part arming modes simultaneously. It is necessary to disarm first
when changing from one arming mode to another arming mode.
The exit delays of the two arming modes are entirely independent. The moment an arming mode is activated, its exit
delay begins to count down. The entry delay depends on which sensor was tripped first. For example, if the sensor is
included in Full arming, the entry delay for Full arming counts down – see p. 45, 7.3.2 Arm Set. If the sensor is included
in both activated arming modes, the entry delay for Perimeter arming counts down.
Note: If, due to open zones, the system is not ready to activate the second arming mode then both arming
methods are canceled. In this case, check that the relevant entrances are secured and start the entire
arming sequence again.
Disarming cancels both active arming modes.
3.10.7. Disarming
When an entry/exit sensor is tripped, the entry delay counts down; each arming method has its own entry delay.
To disarm the system:
Enter a valid user code, the system is disarmed.
Note: In unpartitioned systems, you can only disarm all the active arming modes.
3.11. Arming/Disarming – Partitioned Systems
3.11.1. Arming
If the system partitioning is enabled, you have, in addition to full arming, two partitions that you can customize
according to the client's needs. The arming options are entirely flexible. You can program each sensor to be included in
any combination of the three arming modes – see p. 45, 7.3.2 Arm Set. Additionally, each arming mode has a separate
exit and entry delay.
Each partition can be armed and disarmed individually and independently of full arming (there may be zones assigned
to full arm only). But when you full arm the system, the two partitions are also automatically armed.
For information on partitioning option programming, see p. 64, 9.22 Partition .
For information on assigning peripherals to specific partitions: see:
Zones – p. 45, 7.3.2 Arm Set;
Keyfobs – p. 49, 7.4.3 Partition Set.
Smartkeys – p. 52, 7.8.2 Partition Set.
Common zones
Our example illustrates a special advantage partitioned systems have, namely the common zones.
A common zone is a zone that belongs to both partitions. An alarm is generated from common zones only if the system
has been Fully Armed or both partitions 1 and 2 have been armed.
In the following example one part of the house is assigned to Partition 1, another part to partition 2. The common zone
is in the corridor that belongs to both partitions. In each diagram, the protected area is shaded.
Notes: If the only zones open are common zones, the system is still ready to arm.
The common zones are relevant only for the Normal, Entry/Exit and Follower zone types. For this
reason, when defining a zone as a Common zone (arm set = 123 or 23) choose zone type Normal,
Entry/Exit, or Follower.
In our example a common zone is placed in the corridor that belongs to both partitions. Only when both users leave
and arm their partitions, the common zone is activated and the corridor is protected. When any of the users returns and
