The panel can be set up by your installer to operate as a
two-partitioned system.
A partitioned system would be useful in a strip mall, or
residential duplex, where two stores or households could
share one system.
Global Settings
Global system settings affect both partitions. Most are set
by the installer. Global settings that are programmed by
the user include:
• The time and date.
• The System Master code.
Partition-Specific Settings
Partition-specific settings affect only one partition. User-
programmable, partition-specific settings include:
• Partition Master codes
(1 per partition for a total of 2).
• A pool of 60 Regular User codes for use by one or the
other partition. (Partition 1 Regular User codes + Parti-
tion 2 Regular User codes = 60 Regular User codes)
• A pool of 16 time schedules available to one or the
other partition. (Partition 1 time schedules + Partition 2
times schedules = 16 time schedules)
• 9 Advanced Light Control setups available
to each partition.
• The Latchkey feature.
• The Notify by Exception feature.
• The Silent Arming option.
• The Scheduled Arming feature.
• Speaker volume settings.
• The Energy Saver feature and its high and
low setpoints.
To program any of these features for another partition,
you must enter the User Programming menu from a
touchpad in that partition, or jump into that partition,
then enter the User Programming menu.
Jumping Partitions
Note: If your system uses just one partition, skip this
section.
An alternative to jumping partitions is to arm, disarm, or
program from a hardwire touchpad belonging to the
other partition.
The ability to jump to another partition is an attribute
assigned to each user code see “Assigning Code
Attributes” on page 12. By default, the System Master is
the only code that can jump partitions. Refer to the
“Appendix A: User Sheets” on page 34 to see if any other
access codes have the ability to jump partitions.
To jump partitions:
1. From any hardwired touchpad, press
8
+
CODE
+
6
.
Touchpads display, “ENTER PARTITION” or
“ENTER CMD.”
2. Press
1
if you want to change to Partition 1 or
2
if you want to change to Partition 2.
The touchpad sounds one short beep if the jump
was successful. One long beep means the jump
was not successful. Alphanumeric touchpads dis-
play the text in the newly entered partition.
3. Proceed to arm, disarm, or program as needed.
The partition assignment reverts back if no keys
are entered for 10 seconds.
Arming and Disarming the Other Partition
Once in the other partition, you need to use a code that
is valid in that partition to arm, disarm or program that
partition.
