There have been some new access control features added.
The first is an access door monitoring input,
P6174E
. If the value is set to 0 for the selected zone then the
zone will work as a normal zone. If a value of 01-32 (linked output number) is programmed at this address the
zone now becomes a dedicated access control door monitoring input linked to the programmed output, eg if
output 10 was programmed for zone 20 (P6174E20E10E) that means zone 20 will monitor the state of output
10. If zone 20 is unsealed when output 10 is not active (ie no valid access activity) a door forced alarm will be
created. If zone 20 is unsealed but output 10 is active (which can only happen with a valid card access) then
no alarm will be created but if zone 20 is still unsealed when output 10 is inactive (the door should now be
closed) a door forced alarm will be created. When zone 20 is sealed all alarms will reset automatically how-
ever if monitoring is enabled the reports will still be sent.
The two new alarms “Door Forced” and “Door Left Open too Long” can be assigned to sound at a keypad or
operate an output. The new option
P6177E
allows the “Door Open Too Long” alarm to be assigned to a key-
pad buzzer and the new option
P6178E
allows the “Door Forced” alarm to be assigned to a keypad buzzer.
The new option
P6179E
allows the “Door Open Too Long” alarm to be assigned to an output and the new
option
P6180E
allows the “Door Forced” alarm to be assigned to an output.
Still associated with the new access control feature is a new set of zone options at
P6175E
.
Option 1 -
If turned ON it will make the zone an access door monitoring input. It will create a door
forced alarm if the output programmed at P6174E is not active when the input is unsealed and create a door
left open too long alarm if the output programmed at P6174E becomes inactive while the door is still open.
Option 2 -
If turned ON it sets the input to become a REX (Request to Exit) button linked to the pro-
grammed output at address P6174E. When the zone is unsealed it will trigger the reset time for the pro-
grammed output.
Option 3 -
If turned ON it sets the input to be an Egress Input. The egress input could be connected
to a switch that opens the associated door (eg a door override switch in reception). When the Egress Input is
triggered the output programmed at address P6174E will turn on, releasing the door. The output will remain
on once triggered. There are two ways to reset this state. The first is the output will turn off as soon as the
input is sealed again provided option 3 is turned on at the new program location
P6176E
. If option 3 at
P6176E
is off the output will latch on and must be reset by a valid user code. Only user codes with
option 7
on at address
P4E
can reset an Egress input.
Option 4 -
If turned ON it sets the input to be a Global Fire Egress Input. When the Global Fire
Egress Input is triggered it will turn on all outputs associated with zones (P6174E) that are set to type 1-5 at
address P6175E. The outputs will remain on once triggered until either the input resets or a code is entered.
Whether the outputs auto-reset or latch on can be set at the new program location
P6176E
. If option 3 at
P6176E
is off the outputs will latch on and must be reset by a valid user code. Only user codes with
option 7
on at address
P4E
can reset a Global Fire Egress input. If option 3 is on the outputs will reset as soon as the
input seals.
Option 5 -
If turned ON it sets the input to be a Global Egress Input. When the Global Egress Input is
triggered it will turn on all outputs associated with zones (P6164E) that are set to options 3, 4 or 5 at address
P6175E. The outputs will remain on once triggered until either the input resets or a code is entered. Whether
the outputs auto-reset or latch on can be set at the new program location
P6176E
. If option 3 at
P6176E
is off
the outputs will latch on and must be reset by a valid user code. Only user codes with
option 7
on at address
P4E
can reset a Global Egress input. If option 3 is on the outputs will reset as soon as the input seals.
The new options at address
P6176E
are:
Option 1 -
If turned ON it will report “Door Forced” and “Door Left Open too Long” alarms as the out-
put number at P6174E not the zone number.
Option 2 -
If turned ON the zone will not appear in the zone list on the panel status web page.
Option 3 -
If turned ON any Egress inputs programmed at address P6175E will turn the outputs off
when the input seals. If this option is off any outputs turned on by an Egress input MUST be reset by a valid
user code.
Any access door alarms, eg Door Forced or Door left open too long, can cause keypad buzzers to beep the
alarm and/or outputs to turn on when in alarm via programming addresses
P6177E, P6178E, P6179E
and
P6180E.
The 24 hour Non-Latching zone type (P123E option 4) has been modified. Now the option is called a “Non-
latching” zone. If option 4 is turned on the zone will only activate when the associated area is armed but it will
