Gentlemen,
Have been using the product line for about twenty years. I have an existing NX8E system in a historic mansion cotaining wireless door xmitters and wireless motion detectors, along with some wired door switches, and GSM backup. Two keypads are NX148E and NX148E-RF.
The owner, a non-profit, will be conducting public tours throughout the house, except for six rooms wherein there will be displayed a great deal of valuable art.
They would like us to install wireless MD's and door xmitters in each room. They would like also to be able to lock these rooms and arm the detectors during the tours, and I assume at the same time when the remainder of the mansion is fully armed.
I am familiar with the procedures for bypassiing groups of zones using the STAY button, or by bypassing individual zones.
I have never used the partitioning feature. I have talked to tech support and received a few instructions, that I have not tried. I would like someone from this group to make a copy of a customer's programming sheet, minus the personal and sensitive info. By loading this programming to an NX8E on my test bench, I can better understand much more quickly the basics of partioning and I should be able to modify the settings for my particular use.
My plan is to install a 2nd NX148E adjacent to the existing NX148E, attached to the same buss, that would arm/disarm the above mentioned doors and MD's. There would also be a differnt code to arm/disarm the six rooms, and known only to select employees.
Thanks in advance, Charlie
