"PARTITIONING" (not available on all models)
Based on your instructions, your installer can program
your panel to recognize and control 2 separate systems
by activating the panel's "partitioning" feature. When
partitioning is activated, each zone can be defined as
belonging to System A, System B, both systems (dual
À À
area) , or no system assignment (common area). User
access codes can also be programmed to arm or dis-
arm one system or both systems simultaneously.
Your keypad can display the status of both systems.
In partitioning mode, when System A is armed, the
*
[ ] key flashes . If System B is armed, the [
STAY
*
key flashes . If both systems are armed, both of
*
these keys will be flashing .

On control panel models 728, 728 EXPRESS and 738
EXPRESS using software versions 2.1X onward, keys
indicated will not flash, but will be constantly illuminated.
Code priority
When deciding who should have access to your
security system control panel, please keep in mind
that each user code can be assigned a different code
priority by your installer. Code priority determines the
level of security access each user will have, and which
features and functions they can activate.

User Codes 01-16, or 01-48 (on control panels soft-
ware version 3.00 and beyond) can be programmed
by your installer to arm/disarm the system, activate
[ ] or [ ] arming, and zone bypassing. These
STAY AWAY
codes can also be designated to arm/disarm only
System A zones, only System B zones, or both sys-
tems by your installer.
Programming User Codes
In addition to the master code, the Esprit control panel
can be programmed to accept up to 8, 16, or 48 user
codes, depending on the control panel. You can
choose to use either 4 or 6-digit access codes with
your system. 6-digit codes are considered more diffi-
cult to "crack" and are therefore seen as more
]
AWAY
"secure." If, however, ease of recall is your priority,
then 4-digit access codes can be programmed
instead. Once your codes are entered your panel will
store them even after total AC and battery failure.
Note: Never select a code that is too simple or too
obvious, your telephone number, street address
or codes such as 1234, since these codes are
used as defaults by many manufacturers.
Your installer will program the Esprit to accept 4 or 6
digit codes, and also assigns code definitions to all
access codes. To create or modify access codes, fol-
low the steps indicated on the next page. The master
code or user 01 code must be used to enter "pro-
gramming" mode to program user codes.
