6-2
This option is set in partition-specific field 2*10. If field 2*10 is set, we highly recommend setting field 2*11, as well.
This field allows the partition to be disarmed outside the arm/disarm time windows only if the partition is in alarm.
Exception Reports
This option allows the reporting of openings and closings to the central station only if the arming and disarming occurs
outside of the predetermined opening and closing time windows. It is set in partition-specific field 2*09.
The system can be programmed to send Failed to Open and Failed to Close reports if the partition is not armed or
disarmed by the end of the corresponding time window.
Limitation of Access of Users by Time
A user’s access to the system can be limited to a certain time period. Outside this time, that user’s code is inactive. The
system provides up to eight access schedules, each consisting of two time windows (typically one for opening, one for
closing) for each day of the week and two time windows for holidays.
The access schedules are programmed in the #80 Menu Mode, and enabled when a user’s access code is added to the
system.
If a user tries to operate the system outside the schedule, the alpha keypad displays “Access Denied.”
Time-Driven Events
The system can automatically activate and de-activate relays at predetermined times to turn lights or other devices on
and off.
The Time-Driven events can be activated at different times in relation to a time window:
• At the beginning of a time window
• At the end of a time window
• During a time window (on at beginning of window, off at end)
• At both the beginning and end of the time window (e.g., to sound a buzzer at the beginning and end of a coffee break)
The system can perform the same actions on a daily basis, or can perform an action only once (e.g., turn on the porch
light this Wednesday at 8:00 PM).
The system also provides up to 20 programmable “timers” available to the end user for the purpose of activating output
devices at preset times and days.
Time Window Definitions
Scheduled events are based on time windows, (periods of time) during which an event may take place. The system
supports up to 20 time windows, each defined by a “Start” time and a “Stop” time.
The windows are shared by both partitions, and are used when programming the various schedules (open/close,
limitation of access), as well as for Time-Driven event control.
Scheduling Example
A store that has the following hours:
Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm
Saturday 10am to 4pm
Sunday Closed
Holidays Closed
The owner desires the following time windows to allow time for employees to arm or disarm the system:
Monday to Friday Open (disarm) 8am to 9am
Close (arm) 6pm to 6:30pm
Saturday Open (disarm) 9am to 10am
Close (arm) 4pm to 4:30pm
Sunday & Holidays Closed
For this schedule, the four time windows need to be programmed:
Window Start Stop Purpose
1 8am 9am Monday-Friday open window
2 9am 10am Saturday open window
3 4pm 4:30pm Saturday close window
4 6pm 6:30pm Monday-Fri. close window
