6.4 Creating a Duress Code _________________________________________________________
Duress Options?
: If you turn on the “Duress” user option, the code can become a
Duress code. The Duress code will be the same as the regular access code, plus one (for
example, if your code is 1234, your Duress code will be 123
5
).
When a user enters a duress code, the security system sends a duress signal to the central
station. Make sure that you also assign the code to the appropriate areas, or the system
will not see the code as valid when it is entered by a user. (See Assigning Areas, below.) If
you select Duress Options, the keypad displays:
Duress is now
and then,
Turn Duress
Off
Option On?
To turn on the duress option, press
.
6.5 Programming an Access Card ___________________________________________________
Program Card?
: Your security system may also include access control with access cards
and card readers. If so, you can also program an access card for each user. If you select
Program Card, the keypad displays:
Enter Card # *
0000000
Use the number keys to enter the 7-digit card number for the user.
If necessary, you can also enter hexadecimal (hex) digits in the first two digits of the card
number. To enter a hex digit, press
, then press
. You can enter a hex
number from A to F. Use the
keys to scroll to the number. To select a number, press
.
When you are finished entering the card number, press
to save it.
6.6 Programming a Code Schedule __________________________________________________
Code Schedule?
: If you want access codes to work at only certain times, you can
assign a date schedule to each access code. A date schedule will include the start and end
times for each event, the days of the week the schedule will be active for and any holiday
groups the event will observe. Your installer can program custom schedules for you to
use. Ask your installation company for more information.
Enter the 2-digit number of the schedule you want to program.
Schedules 00 and 01
If you program date schedule 00, the code will be disabled (this schedule is never active).
If you program date schedule 01, the code will be always on (this schedule is always
active). By default, all codes are programmed for date schedule 01.
