Alarm Systems Definition (Global/KT-NCC)

An alarm partition is a gathering of devices or equipment arranged to signal and detect the presence of an alarm condition requiring immediate attention or operator acknowledgement. The system offers up to 100 virtual alarm partitions per gateway. A virtual alarm partition is an alarm partition that is entirely controlled by the gateway instead of using a hardware device designed to perform the same function. Depending on how virtual alarm partitions are programmed, they can trigger various relays on alarms.
