User Manual

Entering the same Lockout Code cancels the current
lockout. If a different Lockout Code (programmed in
a location less than the current lockout) is entered
during an active lockout, the lockout is “lowered” to
the location of that PIN. This means that to cancel a
lockout initiated by another user, the “new” user must
enter his PIN twice. The first entry lowers the lockout
and the second cancels the lowered lockout.
1.3.5.B Lockout By Group
Lockout By Group is an enhanced version of the lock-
out function. In this mode, each user is assigned to a
lockout “group.” The user lockoutgroupissetwith
Command 32 parameter 6 and defaults to 4. The group
set in parameter 6 is applied to all newly added users,
and can be changed prior to adding each user if re-
quired.
Lockout groups can be from 0to15. User lockout group
0 is special because it allows users programmed with
that group to be processed regardless of the current
user lockout state (meaning group 0 users cannot be
locked out). A good example of group 0 usage might
be a Relock Code, which would allow a group 0 user
tore-lock a doorevenifauser lockoutis active.Exercise
care (restraint) when creating group 0 users; if there
are too many, the usefulness of user lockout dimin-
ishes.
Entering a Lockout Code (when no lockouts are active)
sets the current lockout group to that user’s lockout
group. Subsequently, whenever a valid PIN is entered,
that user’s lockout group is compared to the currently
active lockout group. It is the result of this test that
determines whether the user is locked out.
Entering any lockout code while a lockout is active
always cancels the current lockout. To activate another
lockout, you must enter the lockout code again.

lockout operations. The selection is made by setting
