Master Keypad Setup and Operation

Although this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for
the purpose of assigning keypads as "Master" keypads for the system.
Any keypad assigned to Partition 9 in #93 Device Programming mode will become a "Master"
keypad. A Master keypad reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-8) on its
display at one time. This is useful because it eliminates the need for a security officer in a
building to have to "log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to find out
where an alarm has occurred.
The following is an example of a typical display:
Possible status indications include:
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter
4). In order to affect that partition, the user must use a code that has access to that
partition. Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto Partition 9 to view the status
of all partitions, that user must have access to all partitions. Otherwise, access will be
denied.
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault condition on Zone 2
(Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad in
Partition 9:
This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s). Pressing [ ] will display:
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To display a new partition's status,
press [ ] + [Partition No.]. This will display the status of the new partition.
The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have been armed
successfully. The "Ready" LED will be lit only if all partitions that are disarmed are "ready
to arm." Neither LED will be lit if only some partitions are armed and only some disarmed
partitions are "ready."
The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical condition on all of
the partitions. The priority of the sounds is as follows:
A. Pulsing fire alarm sounds
B. Steady burglar alarm sounds
C. Trouble sounds (rapid beeping)
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master keypad or a keypad in the
partition where the condition exists.
