Time Windows
he system provides 20 time windows that are defined with start and stop times. These windows are used for various
open/close and access schedules, as well as for output controls, and are the basis of the scheduling system. These
windows are shared between both partitions.
Time Windows Worksheet
The following worksheet is an example of the worksheet found in the Programming Guide. This worksheet will help you
define time windows and scheduling aspects of this system before you program them. Note that time windows can span
midnight; for example, from 11 PM to 1 AM.
Time Window Number
Start Time (HH:MM) Stop Time (HH:MM)
1
2
3…..20
A time window must have a start and a stop time.
Time Windows Programming
Enter Scheduling Mode by entering Installer Code + [#] + [80]. The keypad displays the Time Window Programming
prompt.

Because the time windows are shared between both partitions, it is important to make sure that changing
a time window does not adversely affect desired actions in the other partition.
Daily Open/Close Schedules
Each partition can be assigned one daily open/close schedule, plus a holiday schedule. Temporary schedules are
programmed separately, using the #81 Temporary Schedule Menu Mode. To program additional open/close schedules,
see Time-Driven Events Programming later in this section for the procedure.
Open/Close Schedule Worksheet
The following worksheet is an example of the worksheet found in the Programming Guide. Write the previously defined
time window numbers for open and close for each partition.
