and system status and provides appropriate information for display on the 
keypad(s) used with the...

A Partitioned System 
Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among 
different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as 
a user need not know about other users and their structure in the system, 
but from time to time, you may see display messages that indicate the system 
is in use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the 
ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information....

before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides four 
modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and 
even allows you to BYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the 
rest of the system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for 
alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windows while the 
system is...

anytime by simply pressing the “A, B, C, or D” keys. This feature can be

About The Keypads 
General 
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the 
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your 
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE 
from a safe location nearby. 
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature 
a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that 
shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back 
lighting is programmable to always stay on...
