Arming/Disarming a Single Partition

or 3. Then, press the / or button.
B3. The Show Function
The show function is enabled during single/all partition(s) status and displays information that is relevant to the selected
or all partitions.
Show All Partitions
In Ready mode press , the display will show information on all partitions. Press repeatedly to view
memory / status content.
Show Single Partition
In Ready mode, press and then press the partition number. The display will show information relevant to the
selected partition. Press repeatedly to view memory / status content.
Note: After 5 seconds of no button press there will be a timeout and the display will revert to the all partition display.
B4. Siren
A partition is alarmed when receiving an event from an alarmed device assigned to that partition. Alarmed devices do
not affect partitions to which they are not assigned. A siren is common to all partitions; therefore, an alarm from one or
more partitions will activate the siren.
Siren Activity
The siren will be activated when receiving an event from an alarmed device.
Overlapping siren activations from different partitions will not cause the duration of the siren to be extended.
When the siren sounds, it will not stop until all alarmed partitions are disarmed. However if the siren is active due
to an alarm from a common area zone, and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms the system, the
siren will also stop. In case that the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues with zones that are not
assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to the alarmed zones are
disarmed.
In case of a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE. When partition 1 is
disarmed, the siren will sound BURGLAR for the remainder of the siren timeout period.
B5. Partition Status display
Partitions status is indicated in the following manner:
P1:X P2:X P3:X
Each X value indicates a different partition state, as follows:
R Ready
N Not ready
A Away
H Home
E Exit delay
D Entry delay
- Not used
B6. Common Areas
Common areas are areas used as walkthrough zones to areas of 2 or more partitions. There may be more than one
common area in an installation depending on the layout of the property. A common area is not the same as a partition; it
cannot be armed / disarmed directly. Common areas are created when you assign a zone or zones to 2 or 3 partitions.
