B4. Siren

A partition is alarmed when receiving an event from an alarmed device assigned to that partition. Alarmed
devices do not affect partitions to which they are not assigned. A siren is common to all partitions; therefore, an
alarm from one or more partitions will activate the siren.
Siren Activity
•
The siren will be activated when receiving an event from an alarmed device.
•
Overlapping siren activations from different partitions will not cause the duration of the siren to be
extended.
•
When the siren sounds, it will not stop until all alarmed partitions are disarmed. However if the siren is
active due to an alarm from a common area zone, and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms
the system, the siren will also stop. In case that the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues
with zones that are not assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to
the alarmed zones are disarmed.
•
In case that there is a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE. When
partition 1 is disarmed, the siren will sound BURGLAR for the remainder of the siren timeout period.

B6. Common Areas

Common areas are areas used as walkthrough zones to areas of 2 or more partitions. There may be more than
one common area in an installation depending on the layout of the property. A common area is not the same as
a partition; it cannot be armed / disarmed directly. Common areas are created when you assign a zone or zones
to 2 or 3 partitions. Table A1 summarizes the behavior of the different zone types in a common area.
