– 6 –System Overview (cont’d)A Partitioned SystemSimply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarm system amongdifferent users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as a userneed not know about other users and their structure in the system, but from time totime, you may see display messages that indicate the system is in use by anotheruser. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHERPARTITIONS section for additional information.ZonesYour system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example,the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 001,sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. Thesenumbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (ifprogrammed), when a fault, alarm or trouble condition occurs.Fire ProtectionThe fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and willsound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEMsection for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors andplanning emergency exit routes from your house.Carbon Monoxide ProtectionCarbon monoxide (CO) protection is available with your system using the 5800COCarbon Monoxide Detector.

Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuelsare burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to detect with thehuman senses.
