Preparing Time-Driven Events Worksheet – These paragraphs provide the
instructions and codes necessary for filling in the Time-Driven Events Worksheet. Time-
driven events are used to make something occur (action) based on a time schedule. This
may be used for such things as enabling access groups for entry during working hours only.
Note that time-driven events are optional and are not required to operate the system. They
are only used to have time (a schedule) cause an action.
•
Preparing Event/Action Worksheet – These paragraphs provide the instructions and
codes necessary for filling in the Event/Action Worksheet. Event/actions are used to make
something occur (action) when something happens (event) during a defined time window.
One example is turning on a light (via a relay) when anyone is allowed to enter (access
grant). Note that event/actions are optional and are not required to operate the system.
They are only used to have an event cause an action.
•
Mapping VistaKey Zones to Panel Zones – The panel Zone Programming procedures
are used to define zones in the VISTA alarm panel that will receive information from
VistaKey zones. One VISTA alarm panel zone can be mapped to each VistaKey zone.
•
Setting Up Access Point Programming Options – Access Point Programming
procedures are used to define the parameters for each of the VistaKey zones, including
which group(s) have access through an access point (door).
•
Setting Up Access Groups – These paragraphs describe how to define the capabilities
(privileges) for each group of users.
•
Programming Event/Actions – These paragraphs describe how to program the
information from your Event/Actions Worksheet into the alarm panel. Event/actions are
used to make something occur (action) when something happens (event). Note that
event/actions are optional and are not required to operate the system. They are only used
to have an event cause an action.
•
Programming Time-Driven Events – These paragraphs describe how to program the
information from your Time-Driven Events Worksheet into the alarm panel. Time-driven
events are used to make something occur (action) based on time. Note that time-driven
events are optional and are not required to operate the system. They are only used to have
time cause an action.
•
Enabling Access Groups – Newly defined access groups must be enabled before they
become active. Access Groups can be enabled by the next applicable time window that
becomes active or by the #77 command for an instant enable.
•
The term
access groups
within this document refers to
access point groups
. It should not be
confused with the access groups to which user codes are assigned as discussed in your alarm
panel manuals.
•
For additional information on programming procedures, refer to the manuals provided with the
alarm system.
Preparing a Time-Driven Events Worksheet
The Time-Driven Events Worksheet is used to prepare a set of schedules used to activate
outputs, bypass zones, etc. based on a time schedule. Twenty such events may be
programmed for the system, each event governed by the previously defined time windows.
The actions that can be programmed to automatically activate at set times are: relay
commands, arm/disarm commands, zone bypassing commands, open/close access conditions,
and access control commands.
