ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS
How User Codes
Affect the Common
Area
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 from
an alpha keypad. This allows you to pick and choose the
partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the
"automatic" operation of the common area. Keep in mind,
however, that if attempting to arm all, and another "affecting"
partition is disarmed, you will not be able to arm the common
area, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM COMMON
AREA PART" will be displayed.
Codes with "Non-Global" Arming
If arming with a non-global code, or if arming with a global
code from a non-alpha keypad, the common area 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 area in one of the following manners, common
area logic remains active:
• Quick-Arm
• Keyswitch
• Wireless Button
• Wireless Keypad
