Security System Operation (cont'd) How to Check the Status of Other Partitions This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured by your installer.) Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system to control up to eight areas of protection (partitions) depending on the system you have purchased. Each 6270 and other keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's information. For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, your alarm system may be configured with four partitions. Each apartment's zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A landlord or manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control the entire system. If a user is so authorized, a 6270 or other keypad in one partition can be used to perform system functions in another partition. (Note that only those partitions authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.) To check the status of other partitions perform the following: SCREEN ACTION 1. From the "Home" screen press the SECURITY button to display the "Arming" screen. 24
