What is a Partition?
A partition is a group of zones which act independently of other groups of zones. Each partition acts as an
independent alarm system. Each partition will have different valid access codes. The access codes assigned to one
partition may not work on another partition. Your installer can assign access codes to more than one partition to
allow someone to use one access code for several different partitions. Your installer will inform you how the
partitions and access codes have been assigned on your system.
NOTE: Be sure to have your installer explain to you if your system is a single or multiple partition system.
