How to Check the Status of Other Partitions
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured
by your installer.) Partitioning enables a single physical alarm
system to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions)
depending on the system you have purchased. Each 6270 and other
keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will
show only that partition's information.
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit,
your alarm system may be configured with four partitions. Each
apartment’s zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned
to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent
arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A landlord or
manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control
the entire system.
If a user is so authorized, a 6270 or other keypad in one partition can
be used to perform system functions in another partition. (Note that
only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can
be accessed in this manner.)
To check the status of other partitions perform the following:
