1.2 ZONES
The Esprit control panel can support up to 24 zones.
When a zone is opened or breached its
corresponding key will light up on the keypad. For
example, if zone 5 were to open, the 5 key will light up
on the keypad. The Esprit’s keypads will show the
status of the zones through keys 1 to 12. By default,
keys 1 to 12 will display the status of zones 1 to 12.
Press the [2ND]button and keys 1 to 12 will now
display the status of zones 13 to 24 respectively.
1.3 PARTITIONING
Your Esprit system is equipped with a partitioning
feature that can divide your alarm system into two
distinct areas (System A and System B). User access
codes can arm or disarm one system or both systems
simultaneously. In partitioning mode, when System A
is armed, the [STAY]key flashes. If System B is
armed, the [AWAY]key flashes. If both systems are
armed, both of these keys will be flashing.
