8.8 Partial Arm for Group Numbers “91” to “99”

The Group Numbers from “91” to “99” are partial arming zones. They can be controlled by a
Remote Control Keyfob, the Panel keyboard or through the HyperSecureLink software
individually. They are independent from the main groups (Group Number “01”~”89”).
The Remote Control Keyfob with Group Number ”9X” only controls the corresponding
burglar sensors with the same Group Number ”9X”. For example, Remote Control Keyfob
with Group Number “91” only controls (Away, Home, Disarm) the burglar sensors with the
Group Number “91”.

When the HK-MC868 receives an AWAY/HOME/DISARM signal from the Remote Control
Keyfob of Group Number “9X”, the HK-MC868 will announce the Away/Home/Disarm
operation with Group Number, but the LCD and LEDs (Green, Red and Yellow) will only
follow the status of the main groups (Group number ” 01”~”89”), unaffected by the status of
Group Number “91”~”99”.
