Section 4: Configuration
4.4.1 Setting Up a Partition
Partitions are added or removed from the system by applying or removing a partition mask via Installer Programming section
[200]. The number of available partitions depends on the alarm panel model. See "[200] Partition Mask" on page 111 for
more information.
4.4.2 Bell/Siren Operation
Each partition must have a siren. The system siren connected to the bell output of the alarm controller can be mounted in a
central location within hearing range of all partitions. Each partition can also have wireless sirens activated only on the
assigned partition. See "Wireless Programming" on page 131 for details.
Single Siren Output Operation
With a siren shared across all partitions, control over activation/deactivation of the output depends on the partition that ini-
tiated the alarm sequence. Only the partition that originated the alarm can deactivate the bell output.
Global zones, such as smoke detectors shared by multiple partitions, can deactivate the siren on all partitions the zone is
assigned to.
Multiple Siren Output Operation
When multiple sirens are used in the installation, they can be programmed to sound alarm conditions for all partitions, or for
individual partitions by using a partition enable mask.
If hardwired sirens are used, this is accomplished via bus power supplies with a supervised high-current output. The output
is then programmed as a Fire and Burglary PGM output type.
Note: Only the first output of the HSM2204 output module has bell supervision. Some conditions, such as an installer system
test, may override the partition assignment and cause all sirens to activate. User system tests only activate the sirens/outputs
assigned to that partition.
4.5 Trouble Indicators
Both audible and visual trouble indications are available on all partitions. For more information, see "Troubleshooting" on
page 47.
Programming section [013] option 3 controls whether or not troubles are indicated when the alarm system is armed.
4.6 Keypad Partition Setup
Keypads can be configured to control an individual partition or all partitions. In general, a partition keypad controls the par-
tition it is assigned to. A Global keypad controls all partitions. Global keypads should be placed in common areas of the
premises, such as points of entry or reception areas, where the ability to arm and disarm more than one partition at a time is
required.
Partition keypads can also be temporarily loaned to other partitions.
To select a keypad operating mode:
1. Enter Installer Programming: [*][8][installer code].
2. Select [861]-[876] to program keypads 1-16.
l Press [000] for partition assignment.
l For Global operation, key in 00.
l To assign a keypad to a partition, key in 01-08 for partition 1-8.
