Notes on Group Operation
Certain functions have different settings for each group. The operation concerned is detailed below.
Bell Time
The bell time for common bell output is limited to the maximum time programmed. That means, if an alarm has
occurred on group 1 and after 80% of the bell time has elapsed, an alarm occurs in group 2, the bells only
continue to run for the remaining 20% of the bell time.
Entry and Exit times
Entry and exit times will always be individual to each group. The exit time can be terminated for all groups by
a final zone or exit terminator in the common group except when any group in the common group map has
infinite exit time. The last group to enter the settling state will be prevented from setting until the common area
completes its own settling period.
Upon entering a PIN code, group choice is given if any of the user’s areas are not in alarm or entry. If one of
those areas is in entry or alarm, then those groups in entry or alarm will be unset automatically.
If the user belongs to a group that is not part of the common group map, then their PIN code will have no
effect on the common area.
Either each individual group will need to have its own entry door, or the keypad will be situated in the common
area. In the later case, entry to the individual group areas, is prevented until the group is unset, in order to
comply with DD243.
