How to Check the Status of Other Partitions 
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured 
by your installer.)  Partitioning enables a single physical alarm 
system to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions) 
depending on the system you have purchased. Each 6270 and other 
keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will 
show only that partitions information.  
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, 
your alarm system may be configured with four partitions. Each 
apartment ’s zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned 
to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent 
arming/disarming control of its own partition (area).  A landlord or 
manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control 
the entire system. 
If a user is so authorized, a 6270 or other keypad in one partition can 
be used to perform system functions in another partition. (Note that 
only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can 
be accessed in this manner.) 
To check the status of other partitions perform the following: 
SCREEN   ACTION 
  1.  From the Home screen press the 
SECURITY
 button to display the Arming 
screen.

SCREEN   ACTION 
 2. Press the Current Partition tab (lower 
edge of the screen; in this case it displays 
P1
).  The User Authorization screen is 
displayed with the instructions  “
For 
Authorized Partitions, Enter Code ”
. 
 
 
  3.  Enter the code authorized to access 
other partition(s).   
If the code is accepted, the system 
displays the partitions that user has 
access to.   
Note:
  A code may have access to some 
(but not all) of the available partitions. 
 
 
 
 
This screen displays the available 
partitions (in this case, Partitions 1, 2, and 
3), and their current status.   
The current partition is shown at the top of 
the display (in this example, the device is 
attached to Partition 1 ( P1)).  To change 
this assignment, select the appropriate 
button (e.g. press  P2 to switch control to 
Partition 2).

Fire Alarm System Operatio n  
Introduction to Fire Alarm System Operation 
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing 
continuous protection.  In the event of an emergency, the installed 
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your 
Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupting sound from the 
keypad.  An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional 
exterior sounders.  A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and 
remain on until you silence the alarm. 
In Case of Fire Alarm 
1.  Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your 
detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and 
manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned as 
FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and hold down 
for at least 2 seconds. 
2.  Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 
3.  If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify  your local Fire Department immediately. 
Silencing a Fire Alarm 
1.  Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.  To clear the alarm from the display, enter your code and 
press the OFF key again. 
2.  If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the  second OFF sequence, press the READY key to display the 
zone(s) that are faulted.  Be sure to check that smoke detectors 
are not responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their 
vicinity.  In this case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 
3.  If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in  the detector.  Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 
seconds. 
4.  When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by  entering your code and pressing the OFF key.
