Chapter 1: The LC1400 System 1-6
Alarm Types
• Door Alarm
• Supervisor Alarm
• Tamper Alarm
Egress
A Door Alarm can be set to occur when a tag
enters a monitored zone (single conditioning)
or when a tag enters a monitored zone and
a door is opened or a PIR is tripped (double
conditioning).
Supervisor
A Supervisor alarm occurs when the
performance of the system has been altered
due to tampering or inadvertent acts—such as
cut wires, antenna damage, or interference.
Tamper
A Tamper alarm occurs when the tamper
detect infrared sensor is triggered by the
removal of the LC1400T's cover.
Zone Alarm Activation
Conditions
• Double-conditioning
• Door zones
• Elevator zones
• Hallway zones
This section explains how Accutech systems
react to a tag entering a monitored door,
elevator, or hallway zone. It also explains
alarm definitions.
Double Conditioning
Double conditioning (set during installation)
helps prevent nuisance alarms. Two conditions
are required to generate an alarm at these
zones.
In door zones: (1) a tag must be detected in the
zone and (2) the door must be opened.
In hallway zones: (1) a tag must be detected in
the zone and (2) PIR detection must occur.
Door Zones
When a tag enters a monitored door zone, the
system will detect the tag. At that moment
(provided the door is closed, has a magnetic
lock[s], and the lock is unobstructed), the
magnetic lock will energize and lock the door.
The door will remain locked for as long as
the tag is within the monitored zone. When
the tag leaves the monitored zone, the door
will unlock after an adjustable period of time
(unless it is set to latch when an alarm occurs).
Egress
If a tag enters a monitored door zone, with
or without a magnetic lock(s), and the door is
already open, (or is opened while the tag is in
the zone) the LC1400 zone will generate an
alarm.
