Section 2 – Partitioning and Panel Linking2-3Sequence #2:Office 1 Office 2 Lobby ActionUser #2: (Armed) Disarms DisarmsUser #1: Disarms (Disarmed) (No change)User #2: (Disarmed) Arms No ChangeUser #1: Arms (Armed) No ChangeNotice that in sequence #1, because Office #2 was the last to arm, the lobby also armed (Office #2 is programmed toaffect and arm the lobby). In sequence #2, the lobby could not arm when Office #2 armed, because Office #1, whichaffects the lobby, was still disarmed.When Office #1 armed, the lobby still did not arm because Office #1 was not programmed to arm the lobby. User #1would have to arm the lobby manually. Therefore, you would want to program a partition to affect and arm the lobby ifthe users of that partition are expected to be the last to leave the building.How User Access Codes Affect the Common LobbyCodes with Global ArmingIf a code is given "global arming" when it is defined (see SECTION 9: User Access Codes), the keypad prompts the userto select the partitions they want to arm. Only the partitions the user has access to are displayed. This allows the userto choose the partitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the "automatic" operation of the lobby. Keep inmind, however, that if a user attempts to arm all, and another "affecting" partition is disarmed, the user cannot arm thelobby, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM LOBBY PARTITION" is displayed.Codes with Non-Global ArmingIf a user arms with a non-global code, the lobby partition operation is automatic, as described by fields 1*18 and 1*19.Other Methods of Arming/DisarmingCommon Lobby logic remains active when arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or arms the common lobby inone of the following manners:• Quick-Arm• Keyswitch• Wireless Button• Wireless KeypadArming/Disarming RemotelyIf a user arms or disarms remotely (through Compass downloading software), the lobby does not automatically followanother partition that is programmed to arm or disarm the lobby. The lobby must be armed separately, after arming allaffecting partitions first.Auto-Arming/DisarmingIf scheduling is used to automatically arm and/or disarm partitions, the common lobby partition does not automaticallyfollow another partition that is programmed to arm or disarm the lobby. The lobby must be included as a partition to bearmed/disarmed and must be scheduled as the last partition armed.If you are using auto-arming, make sure that the Auto-Arm Delay and Auto-Arm Warning periods, for the lobbypartition, (fields 2*05 and 2*06) combined are longer than that of any other partition that affects the lobby. Thiscauses the lobby to arm last.Master Keypad Setup and OperationAlthough this system has eight actual partitions, it provides an extra partition strictly for the purpose of assigningkeypads as Master keypads for the system.Assigning any keypad to Partition 9 in Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode makes that keypad a Master keypad.A Master keypad reflects the status of the entire system (Partitions 1-8) on its display at one time. This is usefulbecause it eliminates the need for a building security officer to have to log on to various partitions from one partition'skeypad to find out where an alarm has occurred.
