Appendix A: Implementing Partitions
Appendix A. Implementing Partitions
FORCE allows defining up to 16 true partitions, whereby each can independently be in a different arming mode, i.e., Away, Home, or Disarmed.
A partition is consisting of several zones, and is normally a defined area, such as a building floor, a store or a compartment. Every partition can have its own subscriber ID no., user codes, keypads, peripherals, etc.
Partitions’ event reporting is subject to the following:
Event Reporting ID no.
Zone alarms The ID no. of any partition that the zone is allocated to*. If the zone is allocated to more than one partition, a separate report will be sent on each partition.
If only partition’s #1 ID no. is defined, any event will carry that no.
Arming/Disarming The same as in zone alarm
Keypad alarm The ID no. of any partition that the keypad is allocated to*. Non-zone Fault Partition #1
* The event will be reported separately for each partition.
Zone, keypads, users, and contacts can be allocated to more than one partition. In such a case, the following will apply:
1. Arming a zone is subject to all the partitions that the zone is allocated to: it will only be armed when all its partitions are armed.
2. An armed zone becomes disarmed, as soon as one of the partitions it is allocated to is disarmed.
3. Arming and disarming via a keypad are subject to both the keypad and the user’s partitioning. For example, if a user that is allocated to partitions 1, 3 & 5, enters its code in a keypad that is allocated to partitions 4, 5 & 7, only partition 5 will either be armed or disarmed.
4. A keypad can only display the status of and control the partitions it’s allocated to. The Armed LED stays on only when ALL the keypad’s partitions are armed, and flashes when only some partitions are armed.

Appendix D. Technician and CMS Codes
There are few technician codes in the FORCE security system: Master, and two CMS lock codes, which allows limiting the access to the CMS menus by a password.
1. Master technician code
By default, and as long as no CMS lock code (see next) has been set, the Master technician code enables to access all the technician menus, including all the CMSs’. To enter the technician menu for the first time, follow the next steps:
1. On versions 1.3 and higher, enter the default Master code (5555), set new 4-6 digit Master User and Technician codes, and press .
2. On previous versions, do the following steps:
a) Enter the default Master code (5555) and set a new code.
b) Enter the new code to enter the User menu, scroll to Other Options and press .
c) Scroll to Technician Permit and press .
d) Immediately enter the default Master technician code 1234.
e) Enter a new 4-6 digit Master technician code and press .
f) Press the button repeatedly to exit the menu.
2. CMS lock code
The CMS lock code ensures the CMS definitions from unauthorized access. Setting such a code prevents the Master technician code from accessing the locked CMS menus.
The CMS lock code is to be used, only when a technician needs to set the CMS definitions and doesn’t have the Master technician code in hand.
If access to the CMS menus has been limited by the Master Technician, the technician code must be obtained and the Other CMS parameter under General Settings should be disabled.
If you need to set a second CMS and you don’t have the Master technician code available, follow the next steps:
1. The user must grant you access via the Technician Permit menu (User menu/Other Options).
2. Immediately enter the default Master technician code, 1234 – the next undefined CMS lock code screen is displayed13.
3. Enter a new 4-6 digit lock code.
4. Press the button.
From now on, these CMS definitions are only accessed using the new lock code. Whenever there will be a need to change or view these CMS’s definitions, the user will have to approve it,

Appendix H. Glossary
Cross Zones
A false alarm reduction feature: two cross zones will trigger the alarm (separately), only if both are activated during the Cross Zones time. If only one cross zone is activated no alarm will occur. If the second (or any other) cross zone is activated after the Cross Zones time expired, no alarm will occur.
Normally, cross zoning is used across nearby zones, especially zones on the exit/entry route. Custom Zone Type
A zone type that can be fully or partly customized. Use these zones for special, non-standard zones such as flood or freeze ones.
Custom zones can report as any standard zone (Burglary, Panic, Medical, Etc.), but have different sensitivity and characteristics, or have custom reporting codes (set in Custom Zones Report menu).
Custom zone types with Custom Type reporting type can be utilized to trigger outputs for specific purposes, such as activating a pump.
Double Knock
A false alarm reduction feature: this zone will trigger the alarm, only if it activates twice during the Double Knock time. A Double Knock zone will also trigger the alarm if it’s opened for the duration of the Double Knock time.
Energy Saving (Programmable Output Type)
The Energy Saving timer starts running when all the zones are closed and it runs as long as no movement is detected. It can be utilized (using a relay) to turn off lights and air-conditions, if the alarm system was armed but these appliances (or any other) were left on.
Roller Blinds
A special zone sensitivity, for use with roller blinds (and a special detector). This zone will trigger the alarm when it five times within two minutes, or activates once for five seconds. The zone restores after not being activated for five seconds.
