it should be deleted. Press 0 (NO) or 1 (YES).  
USER CODE 
DELETED 
If yes, that users code will be removed from all 
partitions to which it was assigned, and all 
authorization levels and other information about 
that user will be deleted. Note that a user can 
only be deleted from the partition in which it was 
first assigned, and can only be deleted by a user 
with a higher authority level. A Users security 
code cannot be deleted by oneself.

Accessing Other Partitions 
To Access another Partition 
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will 
show only that partitions information. But, if the user is authorized, a 
keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in other 
partitions by using the GOTO command. Note that only those partitions 
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner. 
To GOTO another partition: 
   READY 
1.  Enter your security code, then press ✳   + partition number (0-8). 
  Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its original 
partition. 
2.LOG-ON TO      AAAA 
PART. X   COMPLETE 
The keypad will remain in the new partition 
until directed to go to another partition, or 
until 2 minutes has elapsed with no keypad 
activity. 
AAAA = alpha descriptor programmed by the 
installer 
X = partition number 
Global Arming 
The Global Arming option may be assigned for use by some users. If Global 
Arming was enabled for use with your security code, a keypad prompt 
(message) shown below appears after pressing one of the arming function 
keys (STAY, INSTANT, AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF).  
ARM  P 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 
HIT  0-8  X X X -  -  X -  - 
The prompt displays all the partitions. The user 
may only arm/disarm the partitions they are 
assigned access to.  
To select the partition(s) that are to be armed, 
enter the desired number 1-8. An X will appear 
under that partition. Entering a partitions 
number again will delete the “X” and that 
partition will not arm when this prompt is exited.  
Pressing 0 will turn all partitions the user is 
assigned access to on/off. 
When completed, press ✳ to exit. All the partitions 
with the “X” will then arm/disarm.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) 
Global Arming Notes: 
• When performing a Global Arm, if there are faults in any of the selected 
partitions, the system will enter a Summary Mode. Faulted zones in all 
the selected partitions will be displayed. These faults must be corrected 
or bypassed. This Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds 
if no keys are pressed. 
• When performing a Global Disarm, if any of the selected partitions has a 
condition which would cause the keypad to beep (e.g., alarm memory or a 
trouble condition), the system enters a Summary Mode and displays the 
condition. This Summary Mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if 
no keys are pressed. 
Master Keypad Operation 
A Master keypad is one that reflects the status of the entire system 
(Partitions 1-8) on its display.  This is useful because it eliminates the need 
for a security officer in a building to have to log-on to various partitions 
from one partitions keypad to find out where an alarm has occurred. 
A description of a typical display follows: 
SYSTEM  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 
STATUS  R R N N A  T ✴ B 
The status of each partition is directly below the partition number on the 
display. Possible status indications include: 
A = Armed Away S = Armed Stay M = Armed Maximum 
I = Armed Instant R = Ready N =  Not Ready 
B = Bypassed/Ready ✴ = Alarm T = Trouble 
F = Fire Alarm P = AC Power Failure L = Low System Battery 
C = Comm Fail 
To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter [✴] + 
[Partition No.] (i.e., ✴4).  This will allow viewing only of that partition.  In 
order to affect that partition, the user must log on with a code that has access 
to that partition.  Also, in order for a user of any partition to log onto the 
Master partition (Partition 9) to view the status of all partitions, and to 
perform any functions at the Master keypad, that user must have access to 
all partitions.  Otherwise, access will be denied.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) 
The following is an example of what would be displayed for a fault condition 
on Zone 002 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1 (Warehouse) when 
logging on from a keypad on Partition 9: 
WHSE DISARMED 
HIT ✴ FOR FAULTS 
This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1s keypad(s). Pressing ✴ 
will display: 
FAULT 002 LOADING 
DOCK WINDOW 
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time.  To display a new 
partitions status, press ✴ + [Partition No.].  This will display the status of 
the new partition. 
The Armed LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if all partitions have 
been armed successfully.  The Ready LED will be lit only if all partitions 
are ready to arm. 
The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of the most critical 
condition on all of the partitions.  The priority of the sounds is as follows: 
  A.  Pulsing fire alarm sounds 
  B.  Steady burglar alarm sounds 
 C. Trouble sounds 
The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on the Master keypad.

Accessing Other Partitions (cont’d) 
Common Lobby Operation 
When an installation consists of a partition that is shared by users of other 
partitions in a building, the shared partition may be assigned as a “common 
lobby” partition for the system.  An example of this might be in a medical 
building where there are two doctors and a common entrance area. 
This option employs logic for automatic arming and disarming of the common 
lobby.  Partitions may be set to affect and/or attempt to arm the common 
lobby.  This will affect the way the lobby will react when arming or disarming 
activity occurs in another partition. 
Partitions that affect the lobby will cause the following to occur: 
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 
affects the lobby is armed. 
c. Arming the last partition that affects the lobby will not automatically 
attempt to arm the lobby. 
Partitions set to arm the lobby will cause the following to occur: 
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 
affects the lobby is armed. 
c. Arming the last partition programmed to arm the lobby will 
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. 
The following chart summarizes how the common lobby partition will 
operate:

How User Codes Affect the Common Lobby 
Codes with “Global” Arming 
If your code is given “global arming” when it is defined, the system displays a 
prompt that allows you to pick and choose the partitions to be armed or 
disarmed. This eliminates the “automatic” operation of the lobby.  Keep in 
mind, however, that if attempting to arm all the partitions you have access 
to, and another affecting partition is disarmed, (one you do not have access 
to) you will not be able to arm the lobby, and the message “UNABLE TO 
ARM LOBBY PARTITON” will be displayed. 
Codes with “Non-Global” Arming 
If arming with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation will be 
automatic, as described in the previous table. 
Other Methods of Arming/Disarming 
When arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the common 
lobby in one of the following manners, lobby logic remains active: 
• Quick-Arm 
• Keyswitch 
• Wireless Button 
• Wireless Keypad

Accessing Other Panels 
If the user is authorized, a keypad in one panel can be used to perform 
system functions in other panels by using one of the panel linking methods 
described below. Note that only users 001 to 050 can be authorized to 
access other panels. 
The system provides three modes to access other “linked” control panels: 
• Single-Partition, Single-Panel − displays status of a partition on a remote 
control panel and allows control of that remote control panel. 
• Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode − displays status and allows 
arming/disarming of multiple partitions at once on a remote control 
panel. 
• Multi-Panel View Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of 
multiple remote control panels at a time. 
NOTE:  A user will not be able to access or view partitions or panels that 
they have not been assigned to.  
Single-Partition Single-Panel Mode 
To access the single-partition single panel mode, perform the following steps: 
1. Enter your security code +   #    +   8    +   6    . 
2. Enter the panel ID# (01-08) of the panel you want to link to. 
3. Enter the partition number of the panel.  
4. The keypad displays “AWAITING PANEL LINK.” After a few seconds, 
the keypad displays the status of the partition along with the panel ID 
number and partition number flashing in the upper right-hand corner. 
The user now has full control of the remote control panel. All functions 
can be performed except the following:  
• Those limited by the user’s authority level. 
• The user cannot enter Installer Program mode 
• The user cannot execute another panel linking mode. 
NOTE: To execute another panel linking mode or to access a different 
remote panel, the user must first exit this mode (return to the original 
control panel). 
5. To exit, enter your security code +   #  +   8  +   5  . After a few seconds, 
the keypad displays the status of the original partition for the keypad. 
Also, this mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if no keys are 
pressed.
