12.1 Partitions
A partition (or sub-system) is a logic or physical area, made of several zones, e.g., a separate
compound, a house floor, an office, a perimeter zone. A partition can be armed, while others (i.e.,
other zones) are not. In this way, only those zones that are allocated to the armed partition/s will
activate the alarm, when they are opened. Zones outside the armed partitions can be occupied at
the same time.
Partitions are programmed by the Installer. There can be up to 16 partitions in Hunter-Pro Series
and 4 in Captain 8. Monitored keypads can also be assigned per partition. Users can also be
allocated to partitions, i.e., control (e.g., arm & disarm) only some of the zones.
