The control may be divided (partitioned) into two independent areas. To the customer, each area appears to be a full-
featured system. This allows one control to be shared by two independent departments within a common structure. Note
that LED Control Stations cannot have a Secondary Area.
When reporting to the Central Station, events such as AC Power Failure, Low Battery, automatic tests, etc., are considered
system reports and are transmitted as an Area 1 account although they are displayed on all Control Stations regardless of
area. All fire related events (i.e.: fire alarms, troubles, etc.) are also considered system events and are reported using an Area
1 account.
2.4 Area Partitioning
The entire control database can be programmed remotely through a computer and modem using a remote program called
RPM/2 Pro. To use RPM/2 Pro with the ZX400, you will need RPM2PRO and a panel support module for the ZX400
family (PRO400). Remote programming utilizes extensive error checking and security safeguards, including data encryp-
tion, password log-on, panel IDs and agency codes.
Panel IDs are used by RPM/2 Pro to identify a control during a remote programming session. The agency code is used by
the control to identify the remote programmer during initialization of a remote programming session. These codes are
loaded into the control by RPM/2 Pro during the first RPM/2 Pro session. They cannot be viewed by local programming.
The panel ID and agency code work together to prevent illegal takeover by another computer with RPM/2 Pro. Once the
agency code is programmed, the control also prevents local changing of account codes and telephone numbers and disables
the RESTORE DEFAULTS function.
2.3 Remote Programming (RPM/2 Pro)
There are two levels of Control Station programming : User level and Installer level.
User level programming provides the ability to add, change, or delete user passcodes. It also allows Scheduled Arming and
Latchkey operation to be changed. A user passcode with authority level 9, 10, or 15 is required to access the user level
programming (see Section 3.2.4). See the appropriate User Guide for more information regarding user level programming.
Installer level programming allows total customization of the control’s operating features. Only the installer code may
access this level. Anyone attempting installer level programming should be familiar with the contents of this publication
prior to programming the control panel.
NOTE
If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it may be impossible to program the control locally.
If remote programming is used, it is possible to “lockout” or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company
by selecting “Lockout Local Prog.” This prevents the installer passcode from gaining access through local Control Station
programming. The installer passcode may still be used for the non-programming functions described in Section 3.2.4.
,does not affect remote programming.
2.2 Local Programming
The control may be programmed locally from any LED, SSD, LCD, or VFD Control Station. It may also be programmed
using the remote programming software, RPM/2 Pro.
