Accessing Other Partitions 
To Access Another Partition 
Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will 
show only that partition’s 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 have been programmed for use by some users. 
If Global Arming was enabled for use with your security code, a keypad 
prompt (message) will appear after pressing one of the arming function keys 
(Stay, Instant, Away, Maximum, Off). Follow the keypad prompts to continue 
arming the system. See your installer for detailed instructions on the use of 
this feature. 
If global arming does not apply to your security code, use the procedures 
described in the following pages.

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 partition’s 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 1’s keypad(s). Pressing 
 
will display: 
FAULT 002 LOADING 
DOCK WINDOW 
Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time.  To display a new 
partition’s 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, that 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 
affect 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.  Arming any 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 keypad will ask 
ARM ALL? or DISARM ALL? whenever you try to arm or disarm the 
partitions you have access to.  This allows you to pick and choose the 
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the automatic 
operation of the lobby.  Keep in mind, however, that if attempting to arm all, 
and another affecting partition is disarmed, 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

Checking For Open Zones 
Using the ✴  READY Key 
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other protection 
zones must be closed or bypassed (see BYPASSING section).  Otherwise the 
keypad will display a Not Ready message. Using the READY key will 
display all zones that are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any open 
zones. 
To show faulted zones: 
 DISARMED - PRESS 

 TO SHOW FAULTS 
Note: Some keypads light a green LED when 
the system is ready. If not lit, the system is not 
ready to be armed. 
  READY 
1.  Do not enter security code, but simply press  ✴  . 
FAULT   005  FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM Typical fault display 
 
2. DISARMED 
READY TO ARM 
 
Secure or bypass the zones displayed before 
arming the system. The Ready message will 
be displayed†
 when all protection zones have 
been either closed or bypassed. 
†
 NOTE: All or part of this message may be 
replaced by a customized message programmed 
by the installer.  Bear this in mind whenever 
the instructions indicate that the 
DISARMED or READY message will be 
displayed.

Displaying All Zone Descriptors 
Using the ✳  READY Key 
The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors that are 
programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions for the READY 
key will appear first, followed by the zone descriptors. Displaying all 
descriptors is useful when you need to know the zone number of a particular 
zone, as when bypassing zones. 
The Disarmed-Ready to arm message must be displayed before zone 
descriptors can be displayed. 
  READY 
 Press the  ✳   key and hold down for at least 5 seconds. 
 
  
						

							 
 
– 28 – 
Bypassing Protection Zones 
Using the   6  BYPASS Key 
This key is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones 
intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause 
an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are 
removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. 
Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass 
command is not successful. 
Note: The system will not allow fire or emergency zones to be 
bypassed. 
To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first. 
   BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press   6  . 
2.  Enter zone number(s) for the zones to be bypassed (e.g., 001, 002, 003, 
etc.). 
 Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by “00” (for 
example, enter 001 for zone 1). 
3.  BYPASS  007 FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 
Typical bypass message 
When finished, the keypad will display the 
word BYPASS along with each bypassed zone 
number. Wait for these zones to be displayed 
before arming. Arming the system before 
bypassed zones are displayed eliminates all 
bypasses. 
4.  DISARMED BYPASS 
READY TO ARM 
Arm the system as usual when the keypad 
displays ready to arm message. 
 
 
  
						

							 
 
–29 – 
Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d) 
Quick Bypass 
Your system allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without 
having to enter zone numbers individually.  
Note: All bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus 
OFF) is performed. 
To use the Quick Bypass feature: 
  BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press  6  then press  # . 
2. BYPASS  007 FRONT 
UPSTAIRS BEDROOM 
Typical bypass message 
In a few moments, all open zones will be 
displayed along with the word BYPASS. Wait 
for these zones to be displayed before arming. 
Arming the system before bypassed zones are 
displayed eliminates all bypasses. 
3. DISARMED BYPASS 
READY TO ARM 
Arm the system as usual when the keypad 
displays the ready to arm message. Bypassed 
zones are unprotected and will not cause an 
alarm when violated while your system is 
armed. 
Displaying Bypassed Zones 
For determining what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed zones 
can be displayed only when system is disarmed. 
  BYPASS 
1.  Enter your security code and press  6  . 
2.  Wait for all bypassed zones to be sequentially displayed.

Arming Perimeter Only 
(With Entry Delay ON) 
Using the   3  STAY key 
Use this key when you are staying home, but might expect someone to use 
the entrance door later. 
When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected 
door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the 
premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing 
an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or 
an alarm will occur.  
Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming (see 
CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES section) 
  STAY 
1.  Enter your security code and press  3  . 
  Enter your security code and press  3 
 . 
  Enter your security code and press  3 
 . 
2. ARMED ***STAY*** 
ZONE BYPASSED 
The keypad beeps three times and displays the 
armed message. 
Note: ZONE BYPASSED in this display 
simply indicates that some zones of protection 
are not armed when using STAY mode.
