Common Zone Operation

Ask your installer if a
"common zone" was
assigned. If so, check
this box
Your system may have been set up to use a common zone, which is an
area shared by users of both partitions, such as a foyer or lobby. If so,
please note the following:
• The common zone will sound and report alarms only when both
partitions are armed. If only one partition is armed, the system
ignores faults on the common zone.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but
once armed, the other partition will not be able to arm unless the
common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common partition
keypads, and will also appear on another partition's keypad when the
alternate partition is armed.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an
alarm.
• Entry/exit time for the common zone is the same as for partition 1.
