Zones and Partitions

Each protection zone needs to be programmed with various attributes using *56 Zone Programming mode or
✱
58 Expert Programming Mode.
The system can control two independent areas of protection (known as partitions) for use by independent
users, if desired, by simply assigning zones to one or the other partition during zone programming. The
system, by default, automatically distributes users between the two partitions. The master user can change
the user number distributions.
Zones can also be assigned to a common partition, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such
as a lobby in a building). This allows either partition to arm, while leaving the common partition disarmed
for access into the other partition. The following describes the functioning of the common partition:
• The common zone sounds and reports alarms only when both partitions are armed. If only one partition is
armed, the system ignores faults on the common zone.
• Either partition may arm its system if the common zone is faulted, but once armed, the other partition will
not be able to arm unless the common zone is first bypassed or the fault is corrected.
• Faults on the common zone are displayed on common zone keypads, and will also appear on another
partition's keypad when that partition is armed.
• Either partition can clear and restore the common zone after an alarm.
About Zone Programming (∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 56 and ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 58 Menu Modes)
• Used to program zones, zone types, report codes, enroll 5800 RF Wireless Transmitter serial numbers, and
identify the type of loop input device(s).
• Can also be used to enter alpha descriptors for programmed zones; however, we recommend entering
descriptors in menu mode
completed).
• *58 Expert Programming mode provides a faster method of zone programming than *56 Menu mode, but is
recommended only for those who have had previous experience in programming controls of this type.
NOTE: Alpha display prompts are shown in a double-line box.
∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 56 Zone Programming Procedure
1. Enter the zone number to be programmed.
2. Make appropriate entries at the prompts.
3. Confirm the serial number of wireless transmitter zones.

0 = no; 1 = yes
If 1 (Yes) is entered, you will be prompted to confirm each transmitter after entering the
serial and loop numbers (at the "XMIT TO CONFIRM" prompt later in this procedure). We
recommend that you confirm the programming of every transmitter.
