4.2.7 Set a Door Open Time

The door open time is the number of seconds a door can be held open for entrance or exit before the

controller generates a door held alarm. The default time is 20 seconds. For example, a back door

through which people carrying packages might pass might need to be held open longer than other doors.

NOTE: The door open time is not in addition to the door unlock time. The door open time begins when

the door is opened and ends when the time specified has expired.

1. To set a door’s open time, click on the Setup ⇒ System pull-down menu or click on the tool

bar button. Then click on the Doors tab (see Figure 3-24 on page 33 of this section). If the “Open

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.

2. Scan down the door name and controller/door address columns and locate the door to have an open

time assigned.

3. Scan across the row and locate the “Open Time” column and click on the cell corresponding to the

selected controller/door. Type the desired open 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 3-25.

5. Once changes have been made, click on the button. If the changes are not saved before

clicking any other button or exiting the Setup System window, the data entered is lost and must be

re-entered.

6. Now update the access control network with the new information. Click on the button on

the tool bar (for details on the update process refer to “Update the Network” on page 35 in

section 5).
