PROGRAMMING FOR PARTITIONS
Locations 246, 247 and 248 are used to program and control the DL250 partition feature. The number of zones in partitions
1 and 2, can be programmed in locations 247 and 248 with the remaining zones automatically assigned to the next
numerical partition, which would be 3 if both locations are programmed. If only the first location 247 has a number
programmed in it, all remaining zones will automatically go to partition 2. You can program any number of zones per
partition up to a maximum of 15. All zones must be in numerical sequence. For example, if you choose to have five zones
in partition 1 and 2 zones in partition 2, you would program a 5 in location 247 and zones 1-5 would be assigned to partition
1, while zones 6 through 8 would be assigned to partition 2. You cannot assign zones out of sequence such as placing
zones 1-3-5-7 in partition 1 and 2-4-6-8 in partition two. Factory default is no partitions are enabled.
LOCATION 246: COMMON AREA ENABLE
If a "1" is programmed into location 246, partition 1 will become a common area for all selected partitions. When enabled,
partition 1 will automatically disarm when any other partition is disarmed, and will automatically arm when all partitions have
been armed. Care should be taken to allow sufficient entry delay time for partition 1 to allow the user to reach his designated
partition Code Pad and enter a code. Exit delay time is the combination of the delay for the last partition to arm and the
delay entered for partition 1. Factory default is '0" and this feature is disabled. In the factory default mode the common area
will not send open/close reports. To enable open/close reports for the common area, program a "3" in this location. If “First
To Open / Last TO close” is enabled in location 203 then open/close reports for the common area must be enabled
for closing reports to be reported. The Common area closing code is user code 28.
LOCATION 247: NUMBER OF ZONES IN PARTITION 1
Factory default is "0", and the control is not partitioned. Thus all 16 zones assigned to the one group. NOTE: When no
partitions are enabled, all features or characteristics associated with partitions are contained within one group. If only two
partitions are required then do not program location 248. Any leftover zones will automatically flow over to the next partition.
LOCATION 248: NUMBER OF ZONES IN PARTITION 2
Factory default is "0", and Partition 2 is not enabled. If three partitions are required then any leftover zones after
programming location 248 will automatically flow over to the third partition.
LOCATION 249-251: RESERVED
LOCATION 252-255: FORMAT OVERRIDE
Format 15 allows you to set up your own format by using the format override locations 252-255. See appendix (3) for
complete description.
