4 = Schedule
This option allows the user's PIN code access to the panel menu options for setting (arming) and
unsetting (disarming). The PIN code only operates during the OFF period of an assigned weekly
schedule which is created in option 65.1. If a user attempts to use his PIN code during the ON periods
of his assigned schedule, then an illegal code event is logged and any outputs programmed as illegal code
are activated.
Setting this option to 00=None means that PIN codes are always operational.
NOTE: This option does not control card access through doors at all. This is now controlled by templates
and is allocated to a user in option 42.11=Template.
5 = Temporary Codes
Temporary Codes allows a PIN to be temporarily allocated to a user. On selecting this option, enter
the number of days (0 – 99) that the code is to remain active. The default setting of 0 indicates that the
code is permanent. A temporary code expires and is removed from the codes list at midnight after the
assigned number of days. A code that has been assigned as a Temporary Code is indicated on the user
code display by a ^ between the user number and the user name, for example 001^USER.
NOTE: The Manager, Engineer, or Remote codes cannot be assigned as Temporary Codes.
PIN Change
If a user is assigned the PIN Change feature in the Temporary Code option, the user must assign a
new PIN after a predetermined period — refer to option 51.42 = PARAMETERS.PIN Change —
otherwise the user PIN expires and is no longer operational.
To program a user code to prompt for a PIN change, select the Temporary Code and press the * key
instead of entering a number of days for a temporary code; press the ent key to accept the programming
and return to the previous menu level. A code that has been assigned as a PIN Change code is indicated
on the user code display with a * between the user number and the user name, for example 001*USER.
The Manager, Engineer, or Remote codes cannot be assigned as PIN Change Codes.
If the value entered in the PIN Change parameter is 0 then the code is assigned as a permanent PIN —
a warning message is briefly displayed to indicate that a PIN Change will not be requested. However, if
PIN Change is within the range 1 – 12, then the number entered is number of months after which the
code must be changed, otherwise it expires.
NOTE: The PIN expires on the first day of the following month.
A notification (1 – 28 days) that the PIN needs to be changed can be assigned using the PIN Warning
option (refer to option 42.2). This prompts the user to assign a new code whenever the expiring code is
entered during the PIN Warning period [except when the system is unsetting (disarming)]. The new PIN
must be four to six digits and must be different from any current PIN including the user's existing one.
The new PIN must be re-entered and, if confirmed, the user is returned to the banner. If the esc key is
pressed or the new PIN entered is invalid, the user may continue to use the panel as normal; the next
entry of the PIN will prompt for the PIN change.
NOTE: If the user has not assigned a new PIN by the end of the PIN Warning period, then the code is
erased on the next unsetting (disarming) of the system.
6 = Modify Group
This option determines the system groups that the user has access to and operational control over. The
Modify Groups option is only available when the group mode is enabled.
Multi-group Systems
The larger GX-Series panels have 32 groups; these are displayed on the keypad in blocks of eight groups,
subdivided into A, B, C and D. Press the A> or <B key to display each of the group blocks.
Press keys 1 – 8 to assign the relevant groups in each block to the user.
