Panic/Duress Output: All outputs, including the three on-board
outputs, the Octal Relays, and the Output Functions, support a
Panic/Duress function. To assign an output as a Panic/Duress
Output, program the first data digit as “*1”. Program data digit two
for the appropriate partition(s). This output will follow Duress acti-
vations, Keypad Emergency Keys B and C, and Invisible and Si-
lent Zone alarms. It will reset after acknowledged by a user or
after the burglary bell time-out expires.
7.5 Partition Control Programming
Partition Control Programming: Up to eight partitions may be
used. They are assigned (program address 0165) in order.
- For example: When using only one partition, it is partition one.
When using three partitions, they are partitions one, two, and
three.
- Partitioning allows the system to act as up to 8 different sys-
tems.
- Zones, keypads, outputs, and other items may be assigned to
particular partitions.
- Access to partitions may be through each partition’s keypad or
through a Master keypad (see the operating section for more
details).
Common Area: Partition 1 can be programmed as a common
area, that is, common to other partitions. This allows it to be used
in an installation with one common entry area such as a foyer or
vestibule.
- When Partition 1 is programmed as a common area, it will only
arm when all the partitions it is common to are armed.
- The common area will disarm when any of the partitions it is
common to are disarmed - only if the user has access to the
common area.
- When using a common area, a Master keypad should be used
and assigned to the common area (see keypad assignment
programming).
7.6 Keypad Assignment Programming
Keypad Assignment: The keypad type and the partition it is
assigned to must be programmed.
- Each program address (0173-0180) programs the keypad type
for two keypads. For example: data digit 1 of address 0173 is
for keypad 1, data digit 2 of address 0173 is for keypad 2.
- Each program address (0208-0215) programs the partition as-
signment for two keypads. For example: data digit 1 of address
0208 is for the partition assignment of keypad 1, data digit 2 of
address 0208 is for the partition assignment of keypad 2.
- Users must have access to the partition the keypad is assigned
to in order to use the keypad.
Master Keypad Programming : A Master keypad can be used to
access all the partitions.
- It will display the arm/disarm status of all the partitions and can
be used to individually control each partition (see the operating
section for an explanation of the keypad displays).
- A Master keypad can be assigned to any of the partitions.
- Any number of the 15 allowable keypads can be a Master key-
pad.
- When using the common area, it is suggested that a Master
keypad be used and that it is assigned to the common area.
7.7 Emergency Key Programming
Note: Do not label these keys if they are unprogrammed. Only
the A key may be programmed and labeled as the Fire key.
Note: These keys are not intended to substitute for Listed manu-
al pull boxes.
Fire Key: The emergency key (key A) at the bottom left of the
keypad entry area is the Fire Key. If programmed, the key will
activate a fire alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
- It may be programmed for a steady or pulsed alarm.
Note: The Fire Key will generate the fire alarm sounders in the
partition that activated the Fire Key. Any other partitions in
use will only have their keypad sounders activated. All key-
pad displays will be the same.
Special Emergency Key: The emergency key (key B) at the
bottom center of the keypad entry area is the Emergency Key.
- If programmed, the key will activate a supplementary or an aux-
iliary type alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
- It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
Panic Key: The emergency key (key C) at the bottom right of the
keypad entry area is the Panic Key.
- If programmed, the key will activate a panic alarm when pressed
for 2 seconds; nothing will display at the keypad to indicate an
alarm.
- It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
Note: The Special Emergency Key and the Panic Key will gener-
ate the alarm sounders only in the partition of the keypad
that activated that Key.
7.8 Custom Arming Programming
Custom Arming - [PIN ] + [#] [4]: If programmed, the [PIN] + [#]
+ [4] command sequence may be used to custom arm the system
by arming only certain zone functions.
- For example: All interior zones plus some perimeter zones may
be bypassed while leaving some of the perimeter armed.
7.9 Force Arming
Force Arming: If programmed, allows violated zones to be force
armed. When force arming, the user must enter the usual arming
command followed by the [Bypass] key. This automatically by-
passes zones that are violated and programmed as bypassable.
- Fire zones, supervisory zones, keyswitch zones, and non-by-
passable zones can not be force armed.
- Not available in U. L. Listed systems.
- See Program Address 0185.
7.10 Ground Fault Detect Programming
Ground Fault: If programmed, this function will allow the system
to detect ground faults. This function is required for fire panels
and will be forced on when the panel is in the commercial fire
mode.
- See Program Address 0185.
7.11 Commercial Fire Mode Programming
Note: In a system that includes both fire alarm and burglar alarm
devices, the system must produce distinct sounds for fire
and burglar alarm conditions either by using different indi-
cating appliances or by using distinct cadences for the same
appliance.
