In some cases, a Subscriber's Alarm System may be divided into separate Areas - sometimes these are called Partitions - and each of these Areas may be Armed and Disarmed individually, and therefore their Events must be Supervised individually, as well.
For systems with multiple Areas (or Partitions), when separately Supervised Events are desired for a specific Area, that Area must be selected in the Area/Partition field on the Events Form.
Operators may view the status of an Area within a Subscriber's system by opening a Subscriber Information Form (Press F2).

 

HelpFilesAreasButtonThen, Click the Areas Icon on the Panel Information menu bar.

The Area for dialog displays the following information (which may not be changed on this Form):

Click the Close Icon on the Areas Form (see mouse pointer in the illustration above) to close this Form.
