Exceptions
Exceptions or exception days are used to configure automatic setting schedules for exceptional
circumstances outside of the normal weekly schedules defined in the calendars. Exceptions are
defined with a start and end date (day/month/year) and up to four on/off timing periods for different panel
operations including automatic setting/unsetting of areas or the switching on/off of triggers or outputs.
A maximum of 64 exceptions can be configured on the system.
Exceptions are generic entities that can be assigned to one or more calendars. When an exception is
assigned to a calendar, the exception settings override any calendar configuration for that start and end
date period with both dates inclusive.

17.10.5.2 Automatic setting/unsetting of areas
A calendar can be configured for area auto-sets or auto-unsets.
For any day of the week, a configuration can have a maximum of 4 set times and 4 unset times.
Configured times use the 24 hour clock (hh:mm). If the hour is 24, then minutes must be 00, such as
midnight is 24:00. It is possible to define a set time without an unset and vice-versa. Configured times
trigger the area to either set or unset (provided all conditions are satisfied). Times entered are not
considered as a duration of time, rather they are a point in time that said action (set/unset) will occur. If
the controller is powered up or reset, the set/unset status is kept and subsequent set or unset times
occur according to configuration.
