User's Manual

10 Managing Partitions

• Keypad function keys can be programmed for Global Stay Arm, Global Away Arm and Global Dis-

arm.

• Multiple partition arming may be done from a global keypad assigned to the same partitions as the

user.

• System tests can be performed from the global keypad if all partitions are disarmed.

10.2.1 Loaning a Keypad to Another Partition

When a keypad is loaned from either the global state or from another partition, it may be configured to

behave on the loaned partition just as it would if it was originally assigned there.

Loaning a keypad to another partition does not require an access code; However, no function that requires

and access code can be performed on that partition unless the user’s code has sufficient permissions. The

status of each partition will be identified by a partition flag. For an explanation on partition flags see Table

10-1.

10.3 Global Zones

If a zone is added to more than one partition, it becomes a global zone. A global zone is only armed when

all assigned partitions are armed and disarmed when any assigned partition is disarmed.

Global zones behave as follows:

• A global Stay/Away type zone is not activated until all partitions the zone is assigned to are armed in

the Away mode, or the interior has been activated by pressing [*][1].

• A shared zone bypassed on one partition is bypassed on all partitions the zone is assigned to.

• An entry delay started on a global zone sounds an entry delay on all keypads assigned to partitions the

global zone is assigned to.

• A global Delay type zone follows the longest programmed delay time of the partitions it is assigned

to.

10.3.1 Fire and CO Zone Types

• Fire zones only place the partition they are assigned to into alarm. Other partitions retain their current

state.
