3.0   Understanding Areas 
(Partitions) 
Your alarm system might be partitioned. 
partitioned system is a system that is divided into 
two to eight areas that you can arm and disarm 
independently. Each keypad and keyfob can be 
assigned to arm and disarm individual areas or the 
entire system. Only your installing company can 
change the areas that a keypad or keyfob controls. 
If a keypad is set to arm and disarm the entire system, 
you can assign user codes (PINs) to arm and disarm 
individual areas. Refer to Section 8.0 Personal 
Identification Numbers
 (PINs) on page 23 for more 
information.  
The following applies in a partitioned system: 
 
User PIN numbers are always required to perform 
operations in a partitioned system. 
 
If the user PIN has authority in only one area, 
using that PIN on any keypad performs arming 
and disarming commands only for the area in 
which the user has authority. 
 
If the user PIN has authority in more than one 
area, the user can arm or disarm those areas by 
entering the commands from any keypad. 
 
Only users with access to all areas attached to a 
common zone can arm that common zone. 
 
If the user PIN has authority in more than one 
area, the user can arm or disarm the
 first area 
only by entering the PIN number, [##], and the 
arming/disarming command, the 
second area 
only by entering the PIN number, [####], and the 
arming/disarming command, and so on. 
 
If 
custom arming (PIN [#][4]) is used in a 
Partitioned system, the following apply: 
Users with access to all areas can custom arm 
all zones. 
Users with access to all areas cannot custom 
arm a single area. 
Users with access to one area can custom arm 
any zones in that area, but cannot arm 
common zones or zones in other areas. 
 
LCD (Text) keypads alternately display (about 
every 2 seconds) the current status of each area. 
 
LED keypads alternately display (about every 
2 seconds) the current status of each area using the 
LEDs.  
Refer to Section 4.0 Understanding the Text and LED 
Keypads
 on page 5 for details.
