EXCALIBUR
Excalibur Window Button Bar
Several buttons are provided in a button bar at the bottom of
the Excalibur Window, as illustrated above. These provide the
following operator control functions.
Next/Prev Arrows
The two arrow buttons at the left of the button bar allow the
operator to scroll through the map sequence in either
direction.
To view the maps of the facility, select the "Next" (right) or
"Prev" (left) arrow button.
The maps are displayed in the sequence set by the Maps
setup function (see the Excalibur Setup Instructions manual,
OP5500SPB). When the end or beginning of the defined
map sequence is reached, in either direction, the sequence
starts over. There is no indication which map is first or last
in the sequence.
Control
The Control button is used for actions which require an
operator Control Level. Control Levels may be assigned to
each operator to restrict access to certain functions (see the
Operators Setup function of the Excalibur Setup Instruction
manual, OP5500SPB).
Door Control - Select the Control button before selecting
a door icon to either lock or unlock the door and keep it
in that state. When a door is unlocked in the "Control"
state, the icon stays green. When a door is locked, it
turns gray. The door icon must be defined as "Enable
Control" in the setup, or it turns green and back to gray
when the door icon is released (see page 2-11).
User Icon Control - The Control button is used with "User
Icons" to control auxiliary equipment or to call maps
(see page 2-14). Select the Control button before
activating or deactivating the User Icon.
Remote Control - The Control button is used to activate
optional icons for controlling the operation of peripheral
CCTV units such as AD Quads, Access Control systems,
and Intercom systems. The Remote Control capability is
provided by optional Excalibur modules. Refer to the
Installation and Operating manual for the appropriate
module for specific instructions on the use of the Control
button with each module and icon.
Shunt
Select the Shunt button before selecting an alarm or
alarmed door icon to "shunt" the alarm, if it is defined as
shuntable by the icon setup program. If shuntable, the icon
turns yellow. Any subsequent alarm or callin received for
that door or alarm point will be ignored. This is useful for
doors that are unlocked for long periods of time. If the
alarm is not shunted, every time the door is opened, an
alarm would be generated.
Note: When a door is released or in the unlocked state, its
alarm is automatically shunted. If a door is unlocked
(green) and shunted, its icon turns yellow.
Alarms
Select the Alarms button to bring up a dialog box listing all
Alarms Pending and Alarms Not Cleared. This box allows
the operator to acknowledge selected alarms.
The Alarms Pending list box shows alarms which are still
active and have not been acknowledged by the operator. To
acknowledge an alarm in this list, select the alarm using the
mouse and select "Ack" to acknowledge that alarm. The
alarms listed may be acknowledged in any order desired.
If an alarm is acknowledged by the operator but is still
active (the alarm contact input is not cleared), it is moved to
the Alarms Not Cleared list box. It is removed from this list
only when the alarm contact input has cleared. If any
alarms remain in this state, this Alarm Status dialog box is
displayed every hour if the "Alarm Status @ Hour" option
is enabled (via Operator Preferences, page 2-6).
When finished clearing alarms, select "Exit" to exit the
Alarm Status dialog box.
