Using an Tag Reader
8.1
Setting and Unsetting
If you have a tag reader installed, then it will be possible to set and unset the wireless alarm
system using a tag (the same tags can also be used to set/unset via the keypad prox).
There are two types of readers that can be used with the wireless alarm system - the internal
tag reader (used for indoors only) and the external tag reader (used for both indoors and
outdoors).
Tags for the readers need to be programmed through the ‘Change Codes’ function in the Master
Manager Menu (see page 18). The internal and external readers can be both assigned to
individual areas, this will need to be set up by your engineer.
8.2
Entry Control
The readers may be used for entry control, which means they can operate automatic locks for
example as well as setting and unsetting the system. This can be set up by your Engineer.
External Reader Instructions:
Arming:
Present a valid tag to the reader, the GREEN LED will illuminate on the external
reader, remove the tag, the door will unlock, then present the same tag within 10 seconds and
the system will arm and the door will lock.
Disarming:
Present a valid tag to the reader and then remove it, the status will be shown (the
alarm symbol will illuminate indicating the system is armed on the internal reader and the RED
LED on the external reader), present the same tag within 10 seconds again and the system will
be disarmed, and the door will unlock.
Access Control/Entry Control:
The readers can be used also for opening doors only without
the ability to arm and disarm. Please contact your installer for more information on this feature.
