Option 63 - Options

.This menu has one sub-section:
1 = Groups
There are three sub-options:
1 = Group Mode
This option enables group mode. When enabled, each group on the system will behave as an independent
area that can be separately set and unset. There are two settings:
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
If a group mode is switched off, the system will behave as though all zones, users and outputs are in group 1.
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 exits will always be individual to each group. Exit time can be terminated for all groups by a final
zone or exit terminator in the common group. Opening the entry door in the common group will initiate the
entry time in the common group only. 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.
2 = Common Group
Group 4 is intended to be a group that will cover a common access area (such as an entrance foyer). This
group will set and unset automatically depending on the state of the other individual areas. When all the other
individual areas are set, the common group will set along with the last group. As soon as any of the individual
groups are unset, the common group will unset. In order to determine which individual groups need to be set
before the common group sets, the group map in this option can be programmed. The screen is as shown
below. Pressing the appropriate group number toggles the group status between Y and N. A Y under a group
number means that that individual group needs to be set before the common group can set.
NOTE: When multiple groups are set at the same time as the common group, a final zone on the common
group will not be active until all associated areas are set. All groups which are being set at the same
time will take on the longest exit delay of the groups being set.
