Multiple Partition Access Examples
Each user is programmed for a primary (home) partition. A user can also be given access to
operate one or more additional partitions. Within each partition, each user may be
programmed to have different levels of authority. For example, User #3, the VP of
Engineering, could be assigned to work within the Engineering Department (Partition 1) of
ABC Manufacturing. Since he needs the full capabilities in his area, he is assigned as a
MASTER with Level 1 authority. This means he may arm, disarm, bypass, add or modify
users in Partition 1.
He must also be able to gain access to the manufacturing area (Partition 2) on an emergency
basis. You can set this up easily with the partitioned system by requesting that he also be
assigned to Partition 2, with a level of authority set lower, such as Level 4 (OPERATOR
Level B), which allows him to arm and disarm, but nothing else. The control will
automatically assign him the same user number within Partition 2, and does not require
reprogramming of his already-existing 4-digit security code.
EXAMPLE OF MULTIPLE PARTITION ACCESS
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8
User 3 User 3
Level 1 Level 4
Master Oper B
In the above example, User 3 has MASTER authority in Partition 1 and OPERATOR B
authority in Partition 2. His user number is the same for both partitions. Note that if a user
number is already being used in a partition, the system will automatically assign a new user
an unused number. Also notice that no access is allowed for this user into Partitions 3 - 8.
Attempts to access these partitions would be denied automatically.
Adding a Master, Manager, or Operator Code
During user code entry, normal key depressions at other keypads in a partition will be ignored.
However, panic key depression will cause an alarm and terminate user entry.
Enter [Installer Code]
†
+ 8 + [new user # (002-150)] + [new user's code]
†
Or Master or Manager Code, but must be code with higher level of authority than the code
being changed (i.e., Master Code can add a Manager or Operator-level Code, but cannot add
another Master Code; a Manager Code can add an Operator-level Code, but cannot add a
Master or another Manager Code).
Keypad will prompt for the authority level for this user.
User Number = 003
Enter Auth. Level
Enter the level number as follows:
1 = Master (arm, disarm, bypass, add or modify lower-level users)
2 = Manager (arm, disarm, bypass, add or modify lower level users)
3 = Operator Level A (arm, disarm, bypass)
4 = Operator Level B (arm, disarm)
5 = Operator Level C (arm, disarm only if system armed with this
code)
6 = Duress (arm, disarm, trigger silent panic alarm)
Keypad will then prompt for Open/Close reporting option for this
user.
