Introduction to Security Management General Concepts Seamlessly Integrated Security MONITOR AFx™ systems provide a seamless integration between managing system security and controlling personnel access at the facility. This provides assurance that unauthorized access will be detected for immediate attention, while allowing authorized persons to enter at their designated doors and times without triggering an alarm.
Guard Tours Through the MONITOR AFx™ Director software, the routes taken by Guards can be initially set up, and then monitored for a specific user (guard) at any time. Each 'tour' will consist of chosen access-controlled doors, plus additional guard tour stations (checkpoints) that my be key-switches, or other types of input points—along with the acceptable time for the guard to arrive at each location. Reporting No security management system would be complete without the ability to generate reports.
System Components and Software System Software and Licensing The MONITOR AFx™ Director Software The MONITOR AFx Director software provides a familiar Windows interface supporting these easy-to use features: • An authorized technician (service user) can configure all aspects of the system; • Authorized admin. persons have the ability to easily manage personnel, monitor activity, and perform typical maintenance tasks.
Dual-Language Framework The MONITOR AFx system provides a framework for dual-language support, allowing for dual-language installations, as new language-versions of the software and panels become available. Once installed in the desired languages (subject to availability), operators and users can be set as to their preferred language— allowing all operator screens, on-line help, and/or LCD-keypad screens to appear in the appropriate language for the person who is presently logged in.
Overview of Tasks (What can be Done from Where) Adjusting the 'Closing' Time (Worklate) for an Active Schedule The 'closing' time for a schedule can be adjusted: • By an authorized operator using the MONITOR AFx Director software. • By an authorized user/entrant at a system LCD keypad; Cardholder Administration The administration of users/cardholders can be done: • Through this MONITOR AFx Director Software (via modems or direct-connect); • Locally through a system keypad (with 2-line LCD display).
Avoiding False Alarms No matter how full-featured, and reliable a security system is, a number of steps must be taken to absolutely minimize the likelihood of false alarms occurring. These include: 1) Ensuring the system's configuration accurately reflects the requirements at the site (regarding the working times and movement of personnel during a typical workweek, etc.).

If You Are Being Forced to Enter Overview of Screens (Topics) A duress (panic) alarm is triggered when you enter your PIN with the last two digits reversed. (This can be done at reader keypads, system LCD keypads, and condominium LED keypads.) When logged in, you will see only the topics that you have the authority to use.
Time: This allows changing the time and/or date for a system panel. Verify: This allows a person to prove they are present. This lets a monitoring facility know that you are present after accidentally tripping a sensor, and/or silencing a false alarm. Schdule: This allows extending the scheduled closing time for an area (the "work-late" feature), or suspending a schedule altogether. Keypad Entry Basics Use the buttons directly under the display to select items indicated on-screen.

System Information (Areas, Authorities, etc.) Your MONITOR AFx system has information specific to your installation. This information should be recorded below upon installation for each panel.
System Configuration Aspects: Function Key Reference Programmed Entry and Exit Delays: The Function key ( ƒ ) is pressed and held in conjunction with the number keys for customized functions. Entry Delay:_______ Exit Delay:_______ Note: Function keys are not active until configured by a service technician.
Schedules for User Access and System Automation About Schedules Schedules are customizable time-windows that can: Up to 50 schedules can be defined as necessary. • Allow areas to 'open' (disarm), and 'close' (arm) automatically; • Set times when authorized entrants will be able to enter assigned areas; • Allow doors to unlock and relock automatically. Once defined, schedules can be assigned to areas, readers/doors, and user authority levels. This is done when the system is being set up.

Residential Fire Safety / Evacuation Plan No fire detection system should be considered 100 percent foolproof. This fire alarm system can provide early warning of a developing fire, Such a system, however, does not ensure protection against property damage, or loss of life resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm system can fail to warn for a number of reasons such as: smoke not reaching a detector that is behind a closed door.
• If you live in a high-rise building, use the stairs — never the elevator — in case of fire. • Choose a meeting place a safe distance from your home and mark it on the escape plan. A good meeting place would be a tree, telephone pole, or a neighbor's home. In case of fire, everyone should gather at the meeting place. • Make sure the street number/address of your home is visible to firefighters. • Memorize the emergency number of the local fire department.
Arming Station Reference MONITOR AFx™ Arming Station (option) The optional MONITOR AFx Arming Station allows many system tasks to be performed without having to login at the LCD Keypad. The following is an overview of the available commands. For more information on entering at a controlled door and/or disarming the system, refer to the "Welcome" and "Alarm" chapters. “Badge” refers to presenting your card or user-ID and PIN as if to gain entry at the specific door.
