How User Codes Affect The Common Area - Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA-120 User Manual

How User Codes Affect the Common Area

Codes with "Global" Arming
If your code is given "global arming" when it is defined, the system displays a
prompt that will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever you try to arm or
disarm the partitions you have access to from an alpha keypad. This allows
you to pick and choose the partitions to be armed or disarmed and eliminates
the "automatic" operation of the common area. Keep in mind, however, that
if attempting to arm all the partitions you have access to, and another
affecting partition is disarmed, (one you do not have access to) you will not be
able to arm the common area, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM
COMMON AREA PART" will be displayed.
Codes with "Non-Global" Arming
If arming with a non-global code, the common area partition operation will be
automatic, as described in the previous table.
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming
When arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the common
area in one of the following manners, common area logic remains active:
•
Quick-Arm
•
Keyswitch
•
Wireless Button
•
Wireless Keypad
