What Are Partitions?
•
The PowerMax includes an optional partition feature.
Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently
controllable areas whereby each can be in the HOME, AWAY
or DISARM state.
•
Each independent area is called a 'partition' and has its own
defined zones, user codes, etc.
•
Partitions provide highly flexible control in premises
where multiple areas need to be monitored or secured
independently.

When using MCT-234 keyfob or the MCM-140 remote
commander, a user can only control all the associated partition(s)
