A quick start guide to
Partitions II
What Are Partitions?
The PowerMax includes an optional partition feature.
•Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently
controllable areas whereby each can be in the HOME, AWAY
or DISARM state.
Each independent area is called a ‘partition’ and has its own
•denedzones,usercodes,etc.
Partitions provide highly exible control in premises
•where multiple areas need to be monitored or secured
independently.

What are Common Areas?
Consider the reception area in the example of the accountants
and solicitors:
Neitherofceownerwantsthereceptionareatobearmeduntil
•bothofcesarearmedsothatevenifoneofceisoccupied(his
ofcepartitionisdisarmed),thereceptionareamustbedisarmed
This is called a
•
Common Area
Common Areas are used as walkthrough zones to multiple
partitions
There may be more than one
•
Common Area in an installation
depending on the layout of the property
A
•
Common Area is NOT the same as a partition:
It cannot be armed/disarmed directly
•
Common Area zones behave according to the state of the
• partitions sharing the Common Area.
Dening Common Areas
A
•
Common Area isdenedbyassigningmorethanone
partition to a zone or a group of zones.
Example:
Accountants’detectorisassignedtotherstPartition
•
Solicitors’ detector is assigned to the second Partition
•
Reception area’s detector is assigned to both partitions and
•forms a common area

How Zones in Common Area Behave
Zones in common areas behave according to the partition
which is the “least secure”
24hrs zones
Are always armed
•
Perimeter zones
Armed when all partitions they are assigned
•to are either HOME or AWAY
Disarmed if at least one partition to which
•they are assigned to is disarmed
Interior zones
Armed when all partitions they are assigned
•to are AWAY
Disarmed if at least one partition to which
•they are assigned to is HOME or disarmed
Partition Select Button

When one partition is armed AWAY and another armed HOME,
• common area zones are armed HOME. (i.e. Interior zones will
NOT give an alarm).
When all Partitions are armed AWAY, common area zones are
• also armed AWAY.
When even one partition is DISARMED all zones assigned to
• it, including those in common areas, are also disarmed.
Smart Siren
An alarm from a Common Area zone
When a zone in a common area is alarmed, disarming any one
•of the partitions to which that zone is assigned cancels the
alarm and stops the siren.
Concurrent Alarms in different partitions
When several zones are alarmed, and each zone is assigned to
•a different partition, the siren will continue to sound until all
partitions are disarmed.
Alarm in a Common Area Zone
When a zone in a common area initiates an alarm, disarming
one of the Partitions in that common area cancels the alarm
and stops the siren.
Concurrent Alarms in 2 Partitions
When the siren sounds due to the initiation of simultaneous
alarms in two or more partitions, the siren will stop only
when all partitions with alarmed zones are disarmed.
