Ward Control and Shunt Zones
This Chapter examines two methods of extending the operating
flexibility of the system beyond the basic Security levels or areas by
additional partitioning techniques.
PARTITIONING THE SYSTEM
The primary means of
partitioning the system is the
use of the Security Patterns
available in the systems.
Depending upon the model of
Euro-MERiDIAN in use, and
programming option selected,
this may be by:
A: LEVEL SETTING
The user will have a choice of
setting the entire system, or a
pre-programmed portion of it.
B: AREA SETTING
The user will have the option of
setting any combination of
independent areas, and of
adding to or subtracting from
the list of areas set at any given
time.
In either of these modes, this
flexibility may be extended by
the use of WARDS and SHUNTS.
1. WARDS
A Ward is sub-division of an
area, providing a degree of
independent control so that in
many systems it may be used as
a separate partition.
Control is by means of a
dedicated Set/Unset Tag Reader
located OUTSIDE the ward area.
No entry/exit route is available.
The number of Wards available
is limited to the number of
Setting Points not otherwise
allocated as Keypads, Set/Unset
Tag Readers or Access Control
or Guard Tour Points. The
maximum number is therefore:
Euro-10 3
Euro-12 3
Euro
- 22 3
Euro
- 28 3
Euro
- 44+ 7
Euro
- 134 * 15
Euro
- 256 * 16
*
- Euro - 44+ fitted with MSX Card.
Each ward may consist of any
number of ‘intruder’ zones, all
of which must be allocated to
the same area. No zone may be
allocated to more than one
Ward.
Operation may be by proximity
Tag, or by key (or other) switch
wired into the first zone on the
Tag Reader. Wards using switch
