APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING
The control panel includes an optional partition feature. Partitioning is available only if your installer has enabled
the feature. Once partitioning is enabled Partitioning menus are added to the system which can be viewed on
the control panel's LCD display. Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently
controllable areas with different users assigned to each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to
which they are assigned.
Each user code can be assigned to a combination of up to 3 partitions and each partition can be armed or
disarmed regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. For example, you can define the
garage as partition 1, the basement as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since each partition is
independent of other partitions, you can arm or disarm each partition as desired without altering the states of the
other partitions.
The system also supports a situation where an area is used by two or more partitions. For example, a reception
area which is common to two offices, each of which is assigned to a separate partition, will be armed only after
both offices (partitions) are armed. In the armed state the reception area will be disarmed after either office
(partitions) has been disarmed to allow the user of that office to use the reception area without generating an
alarm. Such an area is termed a "common area".
Note: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition, when
partition is enabled.
