Setting Up a Partitioned System

The basic steps to setting up a partitioned system are described below. If you need more

information on how to program the prescribed options, see The Mechanics of Programming,

section as well as each corresponding section's programming procedure.

1. Determine how many partitions the system will consist of (programmed in field 2*00).

2. Assign keypads to partitions (Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode).

3. Assign zones to partitions (Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode).

4. Confirm zones are displayed at the keypad(s) assigned to those partitions.

5. Assign users to partitions.

6. Enable the GOTO feature (program field 2*18) for each partition a multiple-access user

can log on to (alpha keypad only).

7. Program partition-specific fields (see the Data Field Descriptions section).

Common Lobby Logic

When an installation consists of a partition shared by users of other partitions in a building,

that shared partition may be assigned as the "common lobby" partition for the system

(program field 1*17). An example of this might be in a medical building where there are two

doctors’ offices and a common entrance area (see example that follows explanation).

This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common lobby. Two

programming fields affect the way the common lobby will react relative to the status of other

partitions. They are: 1*18 Affects Lobby and 1*19 Arms Lobby.

1*18 Affects Lobby (must be programmed by partition)

Setting this option to 1 for a specific partition causes that partition to affect the operation of

the common lobby as follows:

a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be

disarmed.

b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affect the lobby

is armed.

c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will not cause the system to

automatically attempt to arm the lobby.

1*19 Arms Lobby (must be programmed by partition)

Setting this option to 1 for a specific partition causes that partition to affect the operation of

the common lobby as follows:

a. When the first partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby will also be

disarmed.

b. The common lobby cannot be armed unless every partition selected to affect the lobby is

armed.

c. Arming the last partition that is programmed to arm the lobby will cause the system to

automatically attempt to arm the lobby. If any faults exist in the lobby partition, or

another partition that affects the lobby is disarmed, the lobby cannot be armed, and the

message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" will be displayed.
