Examples Of Partitioning In surveying dealers throughout the country, we have learned of two global
applications for partitioned control panels. One is a typical two family house
(residential), the other a Factory/Office environment. These broad classifications
can better be understood by way of examples.
Two Family House: You've just arrived at a job site to quote a security system.
The owner wants an alarm system which he can use for his family (living upstairs)
and he also wants to provide protection for the separate living quarters of his
mother (living downstairs with separate entrance). The owner obviously wants to
keep costs down yet provide protection and flexibility for his mother living
downstairs. You could choose to install a traditional alarm panel to keep costs
down, but the system would be very limiting for either the mother or the upstairs
family. To meet the flexibility requirements as desired, you could install two
traditional alarm panels, but the cost might cause you to lose the business. The
4140XMPT2 solves all these problems.
Factory/Office: You arrive at a small manufacturing concern looking to provide
protection throughout their offices as well as their factory. The very nature of the
business is such that factory workers come to work at 7:30AM and leave at 4PM,
while the offices are open 8:30AM to 6:00PM. Some executives even want to
stay late at night or come back to work after 6:00PM. Installing two panels (one for
the factory, one for the offices) would certainly work at a cost premium, but think
of all the complexity when owners tried to gain access to the factory after
hours...two access codes to remember, accidental false alarms. Even the real
frustration of not being able to properly program the two systems to allow easy
access from the factory to office or vice versa! Install a partitioned system, your
programming problems are over, and the owners of the business will appreciate
its flexibility and ease of use!
Global Partitioning
Features and
Resources
In any system, certain physical system components and features are shared by all
partitions or assigned to a specific partition. The following elements are shared or
assignable to a specific partition:
Shared By All Partitions Assignable To One Partition
Dialer ✔
Alarm Relay/Sounder ✔✔ (using relay outputs)
Power Supply ✔
Wireless Keypad ✔
Keyswitch Station ✔
In addition to the physical devices which are shared, the system shares some
software features on a global basis as well. These include:
Panic Code Reports ......................................... Common code for any partition
Low Battery Reporting ...................................... Reports as Partition 1
AC Power Reporting Options ............................ Reports as Partition 1
Test Reporting Interval ..................................... Global for the Panel
Download Phone Number ................................ Global for the Panel
Communication Format ..................................... Global for the Panel
Rotary/Touch Tone .......................................... Global for the Panel
Download Callback defeat ................................. Global for the Panel
Installer Code ................................................... Global for all Partitions
Partition Specific
Features
Many devices and functions need to be reserved on a partition basis to provide
proper operation and flexibility for installations. The items assignable on a per
partition basis include:
• Consoles • Enable/Disable Chime Mode
• Entry and Exit Delays • "Go To" Partition function
• Console Sound during Exit Delay • Swinger Suppression
• Primary Subscriber Number • Burglary Alarm Comm. Delay
• Secondary Subscriber Number • Open/close for Installer Code
• Enable/Disable of Panic Keys • Confirmation of Arming Ding
• Enable/Disable of Duress • Alarm Sounder Duration
• Multiple Alarm Reporting • User Codes
• Quick Arm enable/disable
• Inhibit Bypass of one Zone
