3.0 Understanding Areas
(Partitions)
Your alarm system might be partitioned.
A partitioned system is a system that is divided into
two to eight areas that you can arm and disarm
independently. Each keypad and keyfob can be
assigned to arm and disarm individual areas or the
entire system. Only your installing company can
change the areas that a keypad or keyfob controls.
If a keypad is set to arm and disarm the entire system,
you can assign user codes (PINs) to arm and disarm
individual areas. Refer to Section 8.0 Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs) on page 23 for more
information.
The following applies in a partitioned system:
User PIN numbers are always required to perform
operations in a partitioned system.
If the user PIN has authority in only one area,
using that PIN on any keypad performs arming
and disarming commands only for the area in
which the user has authority.
If the user PIN has authority in more than one
area, the user can arm or disarm those areas by
entering the commands from any keypad.
Only users with access to all areas attached to a
common zone can arm that common zone.

If the user PIN has authority in more than one
area, the user can arm or disarm the first area
only by entering the PIN number, [##], and the
arming/disarming command, the second area
only by entering the PIN number, [####], and the
arming/disarming command, and so on.
If custom arming (PIN [#][4]) is used in a
Partitioned system, the following apply:
Users with access to all areas can custom arm
-
all zones.
Users with access to all areas cannot custom
-
arm a single area.
Users with access to one area can custom arm
-
any zones in that area, but cannot arm
common zones or zones in other areas.
LCD (Text) keypads alternately display (about
every 2 seconds) the current status of each area.
LED keypads alternately display (about every
2 seconds) the current status of each area using the
LEDs.
Refer to Section 4.0 Understanding the Text and LED
Keypads on page 5 for details.
