Opening doors
Use an Alliance system keypad to open a door by entering a door code that is related to your PIN code. It
varies, depending on whether your PIN code has been programmed to allow you to arm/disarm your system, as
well as open doors.
Open a door
To open a door, do the following:
Example: Prefix = 2 Full PIN code = 123456 Door code = 3456
Note: A door code only opens doors programmed for that code (the door group assigned to the user might not allow access to
all doors). If an invalid code is entered, or the code is not valid for the arming station, the keypad sounds seven quick
beeps.
To configure the system, do the following:
If the door is closed before the end of the maximum open time, the Alliance system removes Shunted Zone
from the display. The keypad sounds the warning buzzer for three seconds to indicate that the door is no longer
shunted.
If the door is not closed at the end of the shunt time, the keypad displays
Shunting Ends
. The keypad
sounds the warning buzzer for a preset time to let you close the door or re-enter your PIN code to extend the
suppression time.
1. The bottom line of the display shows the
access code entry ( Figure 2 ).
2. Enter your door code.
Note: In most systems with access control, an “alarm code
prefix” is used. The alarm code prefix is the number
of digits to subtract from the beginning of your full
PIN code to make your door code (this is
programmed by the installer).
