    Change Partition: partitions allow for the creation of zone groups in a home or building so that users can arm sections of the property while leaving other areas disarmed. Partitioning enables greater personalization and functionality while simplifying installation. Each partition controls its local zone status, alerts, and notifications. Any area or zone that needs to be armed or disarmed separately from the rest of the structure can be turned into a partition.

    Note: in order to utilize this feature, partitions must be enabled via Settings, Advanced Settings, Installation, Installer Settings, then scroll down to General to Enable.

    If for any reason your device does not power back up, confirm the power outlet is functional by using a different device and ensure the outlet is not connected to a switch.

    How to Power Down the Panel

    1. To power down your panel, you must first locate the transformer power plug for the system. This will be plugged into a wall outlet, normally near the system or in a closet nearby. Once you have located the transformer plug, unplug it.

    2. With the transformer unplugged from the wall, allow up to 24 hours for the backup battery inside of the keypad to drain. Once drained, the system will fully power down and no longer function.

    3. To restore power to the system, plug the transformer back into the wall outlet, wait 2 minutes, then press right side power button for 3 to 4 seconds to power up.

    IQ2_Side_Power_Button.jpg


    If for any reason your device does not power back up, confirm the power outlet is functional by using a different device and ensure the outlet is not connected to a switch.

    4. The system will read a low system battery. Allow up to 24 hours for the battery to charge, and the message will clear.
