User Levels
The controller accepts up to 500 users and provides entry via the use
of proximity cards and/or PIN codes. Each user is provided with two
code memory slots: Memory Slot 1 (Primary Code) and Memory Slot 2
(Secondary Code). The two memory slots can be programmed for
proximity cards, PIN codes, or a combination of both proximity cards
and PIN codes.
The way that the two memory slots are programmed determines a
user's access level and also determines the way that the unit grants
access in its three modes of operation.
There are three user levels:
Normal User – A Normal User only has a Primary code and is only
granted access when the unit is in Normal or Bypass mode.
Secure User – A Secure User must have a Primary and Secondary
code programmed; the two codes cannot be the same. The
Secure User can gain access when the unit is in any of its three
modes of operation. In Normal mode, the Secure User must use a
Primary code to gain entry. In Secure Mode, the Secure User must
present both a Primary and Secondary code to gain entry.
Master User – A Master User must have both Primary and
Secondary codes programmed with the same proximity card or
PIN code. The Master User can gain access during any mode of
operation by presenting the proximity card or entering the PIN
code. (The Master User is convenient, but is less secure than a
Secure User.)
