APPENDIX A. PARTITIONING

PowerMaxComplete includes an optional partition
feature. Partitioning is available only if your installer
has enabled the feature. Once partitioning is
enabled Partitioning menus are added to the
system which can be viewed on the control panel's
LCD display. Partitioning allows you to divide the
system into three independently controllable areas
with different users assigned to each partition
whereby each user can arm the partition to which
they are assigned.
Each user code can be assigned to a combination
of up to 3 partitions and each partition can be
armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the
other partitions within the system. For example, you
can define the garage as partition 1, the basement
as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since
each partition is independent of other partitions,
you can arm or disarm each partition as desired
without altering the states of the other partitions.

For example, a reception area which is common to
two offices, each of which is assigned to a separate
partition, will be armed only after both offices
(partitions) are armed. In the armed state the
reception area will be disarmed after either office
(partitions) has been disarmed to allow the user of
that office to use the reception area without
