Theory of Partitioning
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up
to 8 different areas, as if each had its own control.
These areas are called partitions. A Partitioned system
allows the user to disarm certain areas while leaving
other areas armed, or to limit access to certain areas to
specific individuals. Each system user can be assigned
to operate any or all partitions, and can be given a
different authority level in each.
Before anything can be assigned to those partitions, you
must first determine how many partitions (1-8) are
required. Following are some facts you need to know
about partitioning.
Keypads
Each keypad must be given a unique "address" and be
assigned to one partition. It can also be assigned to
Partition 9 if Master keypad operation is desired. (See
"Master Keypad Setup and Operation" later in this
section.)
Zones
Each zone must be assigned to one partition. The zones
assigned to a partition will be displayed on that
partition's keypad(s).
Setting-Up a Partitioned System
The basic steps to setting up a partitioned system are
described below. If you need more information on how
to program the options, see SECTION 4: Programming.
1.
Determine how many partitions the system will
consist of (programmed in field 2*00).
2.
Assign keypads to partitions (Device Programming
in the #93 Menu Mode).
3.
Assign zones to partitions (Zone Programming in
the #93 Menu Mode).
Common Lobby Logic
When an installation consists of a partition shared by
users of other partitions in a building, that shared
partition may be assigned as the "common lobby"
partition for the system (program field 1*17). An
example of this might be in a medical building where
there are two doctors' offices and a common entrance
area (see example that follows explanation).

Partitioning
Users
Each user may be given access to one or more
partitions. If a user is to operate more than one
partition and would like to arm/disarm all or some of
those partitions with a single command, the user must
be enabled for Global Arming for those partitions (when
entering user codes).
A user with access to more than one partition (multiple
access) can "log on" to one partition from another
partition's keypad, provided that program field 2*18:
Enable GOTO is enabled for each partition he/she
wants to log on to from another.
A partition can be selected as a "common lobby"
partition, and other partitions can affect this partition
by causing arming/disarming of this partition to be
automated (see "Common Lobby Logic" later in this
section).
4.
Confirm zones are displayed at the keypad(s)
assigned to those partitions.
5.
Assign users to partitions.
6.
Enable the GOTO feature (program field 2*18) for
each partition a multiple-access user can log on to
(alpha keypad only).
7.
Program partition-specific fields (see the Data Field
Descriptions section).
The Common Lobby feature employs logic for automatic
arming and disarming of the common lobby. Two
programming fields determine the way the common
lobby will react relative to the status of other partitions.
They are: 1*18 Affects Lobby and 1*19 Arms Lobby.
