Chapter 1: Introducing the Access Control Module

The Access Control module, which is integrated with your security system, is designed for use in small- to medium-size companies. This module is used wherever there is a need to control which users should have access to the different doors and areas on the premises. The doors can be equipped with devices such as readers, door contacts, door relays, and motion detectors.

The Access Control module enables you to define and control the access level and time definitions of the users in your security system, as well as determine the functions that each user can perform.

The Access Control module provides flexibility by enabling you to connect up to eig h t Ac cess Control mo d u le s to y o ur security system. In addition, each module supports two readers, enabling the security system to control up to 16 doors.

This manual explains the Access Control module programming options using the installed LCD keypad, as well as the data preparation process. Alternatively, the Access Control modul e can also be programmed using the Upload/Download application (refer to the Upload/Download User's Manual for further details).

Access Control User's Manual 7

Access Control Terms and Definitions

The following is a list of terms and definitions that relate to the Access Control module:

x Arm/Disarm Users: Users assigned access rights that enable

them to arm and disarm the system. There can be up to 99 arm/disarm users in the system. It is recommended to assign the same PIN code in the Access Control module as the one assigned to the user in the security system.

x Enter/Exit Users: Users assigned access rights that enable

them to only open and close doors; not arm/disarm the system. There can be up to 999 enter/exit users in the system.

x Time Scheduling: Defining specific time windows that

determine when users can access the system.

x Access Group: A group of users that can access the system

only through specific doors during specific time periods. There can be up to 16 access groups configured in the system.

Chapter 2: Using the Access Control Module

Entering/Exiting Doors

To enter/exit the system:

Arming/Disarming the System

The Access Control module can be used to allow entering/exiting doors and for arming/disarming the security system.

Doors that are defined to operate in automatic mode can be entered/exited by all users with access cards or access codes. The access card or code must:

x Used only during its assigned time windows. x Used only with its assigned doors.

In addition, doors can be programmed to have a fixed status (Always Open or Always Closed) or can be programmed to open when a motion detector detects movement. In this case, users can enter/exit normally without using their access card or code.

x Present your card or code to the reader, using the required

method (depending on the reader type). The system verifies the card or code (indicated by a confirmation LED and beep) and opens the door.

NOTES:

If a wrong code or an unknown card is entered five times, a false code announcement is sent to the monitoring station.

Users with Entrance Only cards cannot enter a door if all the door partitions are armed (refer to Adding Enter/Exit Users, page 29).

The system can be armed/disarmed only by users who have been assigned with arm/disarm rights. To arm/disarm the system, the following criteria must be met:

Access Control User's Manual 11

x The reader must be authorized for the arming/disarming

Arming the System

To arm the system:

Disarming the System

operations.

x The access card/code must be programmed as an

Arm/Disarm user.

x The access card/code must be used only during its assigned

time windows.

x The access card/code must be used only with its assigned

doors.

x The access card/code must be assigned to the partitions that

are assigned to the door and to the user partition definitions in the security panel.

NOTES:

Users can perform regular arming or instant arming, depending on the arm code. Ask your Installer for the appropriate code. The system will arm only the partitions that are common to the door, user security, and the arm user definitions.

Arming the system can be performed only from readers that have a keypad and have been authorized for the arming operation.

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad Only type, enter your

arm code followed by your PIN code:

ARM CODE + [#] + PIN CODE + [#]

-OR-

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad + Card type (for higher

security), enter your arm code using the keypad, pass your access card in the reader, and then enter your PIN code using the keypad:

ARM CODE + [#] + PASS CARD + PIN CODE + [#]

IMPORTANT:

If you do not succeed in arming the system, refer to the checklist in Appendix A, Why Your System Does Not Arm, page 37.

Disarming the system can be performed from any type of reader that has been authorized for the disarming operation.

12 Access Control User's Manual

To disarm the system:

Duress Disarming

To perform duress disarming:

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad Only or Card Only or

Keypad/Card type, enter your PIN code using the keypad OR pass your access card in the reader, as required:

PIN CODE + [#] or PASS CARD

-OR-

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad + Card type, pass your

access card in the reader AND then enter your PIN code using the keypad:

PASS CARD + PIN CODE + [#]

You can also use the Access Control readers (Keypad Only, Keypad/Card, and Keypad + Card types) for duress disarming. This type o f disarmin g sends a quiet alarm to the monitoring station while you disarm the system under coerciveness.

The duress code is automatically the number following the user's PIN code (for example: PIN code = 1234; duress code = 1235). Refer to the ProSYS User's Manual for additional details.

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad Only or a Keypad/Card

type, enter the next sequential number after your PIN code:

[PIN CODE + 1] + [#]

-OR-

x If the reader is defined as a Keypad + Card type, pass your

access card in the reader and then enter the next sequential number after your PIN code:

PASS CARD + [PIN CODE + 1] + [#]

Chapter 3: Planning and Preparing the Access Control Data

To plan and prepare the Access Control data:

Before programming the Access Control module, you must plan how you want the system to function, such as which hours entry will be permitted through the main entrance, who should have access to specific areas of the premises, and so on. As part of the planning, it is recommended to prepare the data that will be used during programming in tables, as described in this section.

1) Create a table that includes the following door data for each door: number, name, location, mode, and partition. The table should be based on information from your Installer. (Refer to the table provided in Table 1: Doors, page 38.)

2) Create a table that includes the following reader data for each reader: number, associated door, name, type, and arm/disarm capabilities. The table should be based on information from your Installer. (Refer to the table provided in Table 2: Readers, page 39.)

3) Create two time schedule tables, as described below. The purpose of creating time schedules is to give different

users access to doors at different hours. This consists of identifying the different types of working hours or other time divisions in the premises and then deciding what time schedule will be used.

NOTE:

When you program the time schedules, you must program the time windows first, and then you can program the weekly programs for each access group.

 Create a table that includes the following time window

data: number, program name, and one or two start and stop times, as required. (Refer to the table provided in Table 3: Time Windows, page 40.)

14 Access Control User's Manual

 Create a table that includes the following weekly

program data: number, program name, and assigned

Time Window numbers for each day of the week and for a holiday. (Refer to the table provided in Table 4: Weekly Programs, page 41.)

4) Create a table that includes the following access group data for each group: number, name, allowed doors, and assigned weekly program. The purpose of creating access groups is to identify the different departments or sections in the company and decide which group can enter which department at what time. (Refer to the table provided in Table 5: Access Groups, page 42.)

5) Create a table that includes the following user data for each user: number, name, access card code number, PIN code, and assigned access group. This table enables you to easily keep track of your user information. (Refer to the table provided in Table 6: User Settings, page 43.)
