Introduction; Specifications; General Data; Rf Section - Visonic PowerMaxExpress Installer's Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

Compatibility: This manual refers to PowerMaxExpress
v1.3.71 and above.
The PowerMaxExpress is a user and installer-friendly, 29-
zone fully-supervised wireless control system.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Partitioning refers only to purchased
control panels that support the partitioning feature.
The PowerMaxExpress includes an optional partition
feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three
independently controllable areas with different user codes
assigned to each partition or one user code assigned to a
combination of up to 3 partitions. Partitions can be armed
or disarmed individually or altogether in one operation. 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.
