1.2.3 Security Levels
Security levels allow you to set individual door/gate access times for residents using a wiegand device (Card,
RFID, PIN, etc.). An example of this would be a gated apartment community that has a vehicular entry gate, a
pedestrian access gate, a pool gate, a laundry room door, tennis court gate, office door, etc., where entry is
controlled by a card reader. Security levels can be created that would allow residents access through the
vehicular entry gate and pedestrian access gate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, access to the pool and tennis
court from 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM 7 days a week, access to the laundry room 7:00 am - 11:00 PM 7 days a week,
and access to the office 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monday through Friday only.
Security levels are not assigned to the access control device. They are assigned to the individual user. In this
manner, different security levels can be created allowing different access times to different users through a single
access point. For example, this could be applicable in a controlled office (or factory) environment where different
employees have different working hours.
There are 31 security levels available in the software program. The first two (Security Level 00 and 01) are
factory set and are not programmable. Security Level 00 (SL00) will deny access at all controlled access
locations to the user(s) that it is assigned to. An example of using SL00 would be a tenant in an apartment
building who has been evicted and is no longer allowed entry to the building or any other controlled access point
within the building. Security Level 01 (SL01) is the opposite of SL00, and will allow access to users that it is
assigned to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An example of using SL01 would be for management or
maintenance personnel who need to have full access to ALL locations at ALL times.
The remaining 29 security levels (SL02 - SL30) allow you to setup four different time zones for each level, and
allow you to select the controlled access point(s) that it applies to. In the example given in paragraph 1 above,
four different time zones where created under a single security level, and then the controlled entry point(s) that
the time zone applies to were selected. The security level was then assigned to the individual residents.
When anti-pass back is in use, residents must be assigned a security level between 02 and 27. These
security levels can be limited by the APB feature when it is turned on. Security levels 01, 28, 29 and 30
are not limited by APB.
Note: When using the Holiday schedule feature, the software will automatically convert Time Zone 4 in each
security level to conform to the Holiday Schedule. TZ-4 on the security level page will then be labeled HOL.
Security levels are not available on the Model 1834.
1.2.4 Elevator Control
The elevator control feature determines which elevator(s) in a building a guest or resident will be allowed to use,
and to which floor(s) the resident or guest will be allowed to go to, under certain controlled access conditions. In
its most common use, when a resident grants access to a guest in a high rise apartment building, the system will
call the designated elevator(s) to the ground floor, and then only the floor button that the resident resides on will
be active in the elevator(s). This prevents the guest from accessing other than the designated elevator(s), or
from going to unauthorized floors.
Elevator control can also be applied to residents to control which elevator(s) they can use and to which floor(s)
they are allowed access too. In this application, a card reader is installed inside the elevator(s) car. When the
resident enters the elevator, they must use their access card to "turn on" the elevator buttons. The buttons that
will be turned on are set in the software. Security levels can also be applied in this application. As an example,
suppose a resident lives in a high-rise apartment building. On the 20th floor of this building is a workout room
that is only open 7 days a week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM only. Elevator control and security level control can
be employed to allow residents access via the elevator to the workout room at the designated days and times
only.
Note: Elevator control is not available on the Model 1834.
1.2.5 Hold Open Time Zones
Seven different time zones can be created to "Hold Open" the door or gate at a controlled access point. An
example of using this feature would be to hold open a vehicular access gate during "rush hour" traffic, unlock an
office door during normal working hours, etc. Hold open time zones can be applied individually, or in any
combination to each controlled access point(s). The eight hold open time zone is labeled HOL for “Holiday.”
This time zone takes precedent whenever a “Holiday” date is present.
