AREA PARTITIONING
DEFINITION
Area Partitioning allows the control panel
zones to be split into two partitions; Area1
and Area2. The panel then effectively oper-
ates as two separate systems sharing only
the siren outputs and dialler.
COMMON AREA ZONES
Zones assigned to both Areas are armed
only when Area1 and Area2 are both armed.
This allows the Common Area zone/s to be
shared by both Areas.
For example, Office A and Office B operate
as separate areas but the entrance foyer
used by both offices is assigned to both
areas meaning it will automatically arm when
both Areas have armed. The Common Area
then automatically disarms when either
Area1 or Area2 disarms.
USER CODE ASSIGNMENT
A User Code assigned to an Area can arm
and disarm only that Area. User Codes as-
signed to both Areas will operate both Areas
simultaneously.
OPERATION
Arming and disarming is carried out as
normal from a single keypad or separate
keypads installed in both areas or by Radio
Key.
Area operation only applies to zones when
they are in the armed state. This means that
Day zones and 24hr zones are independent
of area operations.
The Temporary Day Zone feature allows
easy and flexible Day Zone selection and
operation.
While remaining in normal operating mode,
the user can add and remove Temporary
Day Zones and enable/disable day zone
operation using simple key strokes.
TO ENABLE TEMPORARY DAY ZONES
To enable Temporary Day Zone selection
and operation, the Brief Day Alarm feature
(installer option P64E 2E) must be ON. If
P64E 2E is OFF, the Temporary Day Zone
feature will be unavailable but Permanent
Day Zones will still operate and will sound
the programmed output while the zone is
unsealed.
P64E 2E is OFF by default.
USER COMMANDS
(In normal Operat-
ing Mode).
+ Selection Mode. Enter P
followed by E when in operating mode
to enter Temporary Day Zone selection
mode.
[Zone No.]+ Zone Selection. To select
or deselect zones to be Temporary Day
Zones. The selected zones are indicated by
the corresponding zone number.
Permanent Day Zones, (set by installer
option P53E), are not displayed in selection
mode. Permanent Day Zones can be
selected as Temporary Day Zones but this
has no effect as those zones are already
day zones.
Saves changes and returns to normal
operating mode.
+ Enables and Disables Day Mode.
This enables/disables both Temporary and
Permanent Day Zones.
INDICATION
The HOME light flashes continuously when
Temporary Day Mode is enabled.
OUTPUTS
When Day Mode is enabled, any unsealed
day zone will sound the programmed
output for 2 seconds. When Day Mode is
disabled, an unsealed day zone will simply
be indicated on the keypad as an unsealed
zone.

TEMPORARY DAY ZONES
HOME MODE
Home Mode allows selected zones to be armed
whilst the system is disarmed. For example, this
is often used to arm door and windows sensors
overnight, while allowing free movement within
the house.
• Home Mode will not work if Area 1 is armed.
• Zones which are to be armed in Home Mode
are selected using option P51E.
• Home Mode can be armed by:
Keypad:
HOME+[code]+E or HOME+E
Radio Key: See option P69E 5E
• Audible outputs in Home Mode (set by
options P63E 1E-4E) are independent of
audible outputs in fully armed mode.
• If dialler reporting is enabled, Home Mode
alarms will be reported as normal providing
that:
a/ The zone/s are selected to report alarms
by option P74E.
b/ Option P64E 1E is off. (Brief Home Mode
Alarm).
• Home zones can be Instant, Delayed or
Handover depending on attributes set by
options P40E–P42E.
AREA PARTITIONING
& HOME MODE
The panel can be armed in HOME Mode
if Area2 is already armed on these condi-
tions:
1. Area 1 must be OFF.
2. Area 2 must be armed first, and then
Home armed – not the reverse.
3. Zones assigned to both Home mode
(P51E) and to Area 2 (P46E) will act
as Home zones when both Area 2 and
Home are armed.
4. Zones must be assigned to P51E to
allow Home arm.
Note: Home arming when AREA 2 is
armed cannot be done by Radio Key
(double OFF button) or by keyswitch.
Note: Home Mode is not available when
Area 1 is armed.
