User/Keypad Functions

11.4.3 Fast Exit

This feature is only available when the system is "Stay" armed (see section 11.4). This feature will allow the user to exit premises while the system is already armed and keep the system armed. This can be done one of two ways:

With the system already "stay" armed (after its exit delay), press and hold the [ STAY ] key for 2 seconds. The system will switch to exit delay mode (green "

READY

" indicator flashes), allowing time for the user to exit the premises. At the end of the exit delay period, the system will return to "stay" arm mode.

With the system already "stay" armed, press and hold the [10] key for 2 seconds. The system will switch to exit delay mode (green "

READY

" indicator flashes). At the end of the exit delay period, the system will "regular" arm the system (see section 11.2).

11.5 Arming/Disarming Partitions

Thanks to the partitioning feature, two distinct systems (A and B) can be created and controlled by the control panel. Partitioning can be used in installations where shared security systems are more practical, such as office/warehouse buildings, or apartment/condominium complexes. Each zone can be assigned to System A, System B, both systems or given no system assignment. User access codes can also be programmed to arm/disarm one system or both systems simultaneously

(see Code Priority in section 8.12). Unlike regular arming, the green " READY " indicator does not have to be illuminated. All doors and windows pertaining to the desired system must be closed, and there can be no movement in areas monitored by motion detectors in the desired system.

1) If a user is not given any code priorities, the user can not arm or disarm a partitioned system.

2) If a user is given code priority to one of the two systems, entering the correct access code will arm or disarm the system to which the user was given priority.

3) If a user is given code priority to arm/disarm both systems A & B, it will function as follows:

?

If the User enters the correct access code when systems "A" and "B" are disarmed, it will completely arm both systems.

?

If the User enters the correct access code when systems "A" and "B" are armed, it will completely disarm both systems.

?

When the system is partially armed, (i.e. only “System A" or only “System B" is armed) entering the correct access code will arm the other system.

?

To arm/disarm each system separately, do the following:

Press [ STAY ] + [ VALID ACCESS CODE ] to arm/disarm "System A".

Press [

AWAY

] + [

VALID ACCESS CODE

] to arm/disarm "System B".

If a mistake is made entering the code or if a zone in the desired system is open when entering the code, the keypad will emit a "rejection beep" (

BEEEEEEEP

). When the access code is correctly entered, the keypad will emit a "confirmation beep" (

BEEP

-

BEEP

-

BEEP

). The keypad can display the status of both systems. When

"System A" is armed, the [

STAY

] key and "

ARM

" indicator will remain on. If System B is armed, the "

AWAY

" key and "

ARM

" indicator will remain on. When both systems are armed, all three lights will remain on.

11.5.1 One-Key "System A" Arming

This feature allows the user to arm "System A" without the use of an access code. To use this feature, enable the "One-Key" Stay/"System A" Arming option (see section 7.4). When all the zones in "System A" are closed, press and hold the [

STAY

] key for 2 seconds to arm "System

A". This feature can be used to allow specific individuals like service personnel (i.e. cleaners, maintenance) to arm the system when leaving the protected area, without giving them access to any other control panel operations. For details on "System A" Arming refer to section 11.5.
