4.2.6 Set a Door Unlock Time
The door unlock time is the number of seconds the controller holds the door lock relay in the unlocked
position to allow entrance or exit. A timer with this unlock value begins counting once the card is
presented to the reader. When the timer ends or the door closes, whichever occurs first, the door lock
relay resets to the locked position; the default time is 5 seconds (the door lock also resets when the door
is opened if a door status switch is attached to the door and is wired to the controller). For example, a
back door through which people carrying packages might pass might need to stay unlocked longer than
other doors.
NOTE: The door unlock time is not in addition to the door open time. The door unlock time begins when
a card is presented to the reader and ends when the time specified has expired or the door closes,
whichever occurs first.
1. To set a door’s unlock time, click on the Setup ⇒ System pull-down menu or click on the tool
bar button. Then click on the Doors tab. If the “Unlock Time” column does not appear in the
window, use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window and scroll to the right until the column
appears (see Figure 3-23).

2. Scan down the door name and controller/door address columns and locate the door to have an
unlock time assigned.
3. Scan across the row and locate the “Unlock Time” column and click on the cell corresponding to
the selected controller/door. Type the desired unlock time; the existing value will be overwritten.
NOTE: If you double-click in the cell, a spinner icon will appear. If you click on the spinner icon,
you can use the spinner to advance the time forward or backward and select the desired time. You may
set it for any amount of time between 1-255 seconds. You may decide to use this method to set the time
instead of directly typing the information into the cell.
4. The resulting window should look similar to Figure 3-24 on page 33 of this section.
