  Extending Schedules (EXT)
Extending schedules (EXT) allows the Closing Check operation to 
delay until the new closing time expires. This allows the current 
shift schedule to ignore its closing time and not send a LATE TO 
CLOSE message to the central station. This function is designed 
to allow workers to stay later and does not extend door access 
authority. The extended schedule erases when it expires.

options, S1 S2 S3 S4, displays, press the COMMAND key 
once more. The display changes to OUT DOOR HOL  
EXT. Press the Select key under EXT to program Extended 
Schedules.
2. The keypad displays - : AM PM. Enter a time to extend 
the current Closing Check open period. Press COMMAND to 
exit the menu.
A shift may be extended up to 23 hours and 59 minutes from the 
time the extend function is performed.
To extend the system schedule after the closing time is reached:
1.  Press any Select key. The keypad will display ENTER CODE.
2.  Enter your code and press COMMAND. The system schedule 
automatically extends one hour.
3.  The keypad then displays -: AM PM. You can enter a time 
to extend the schedule for greater than one hour. Press AM 
or PM.
Note: If the system is not armed by the scheduled closing time, a 
Late to Close report is sent to the central station. If the schedule is 
extended, a Schedule Change report is sent to the central station.
