3.1.3 Activating a partition
A great advantage of the ABUS wireless alarm system is that you can split up the
complete alarm system into up to three partitions. Each partition can then be operated
as a separate system. Each partition can be individually activated and deactivated –
irrespective of the state of the other partitions.
You can activate or deactivate partitions one after the other or all together. Each partition
can be activated either internally or externally.
IMPORTANT:
Systems divided into partitions can have common zones.
For example: In a two-family (duplex) house, the entrance door is used by both families.
Each family inhabits a separate partition (with a separate alarm system). However, the
door contact of the entrance door is configured as a common zone.
Common zones are activated only if all partitions sharing the corresponding zones (i.e.,
both dwellings in the above house) are armed.
Common zones are deactivated if one of the partitions in a zone is disarmed.
However, you can also set up your system differently:
A common zone can also be armed if only one partition containing the zone is armed.
The common zone is not deactivated until all partitions sharing the zone are disarmed.
Only users with authorisation for two or more partitions can operate more than one
partition and activate/deactivate them simultaneously.
To activate partitions:
1. Check the READY LED and make sure that the system can be activated.
2. Select the partition you want to activate. Do this by pressing and
entering the partition number [1/2/3].
3. Enter your user PIN and press . An announcement informs you
whether activation was successful (as described in section 3.1.1, “External
activation”.)
4. Repeat these steps to activate further partitions.
IMPORTANT:
If configured: just press [1/2/3] to quickly activate a partition externally.
Or press [1/2/3] to quickly activate a partition internally.
