System Capabilities - Excel - TDSi EXcel4 User Manual

1.2 System capabilities – EXcel
EXcel is a four-door access control unit (ACU) that is administered by a computer (PC)
4
running TDSi's EXgarde software. More than one controller can be administered
simultaneously from one or more computers, and TDSi manufacture several controller
types besides EXcel
The software is used to monitor events and to program ACUs with card numbers, access
rules and other parameters such as input and relay functions. The software does not
need to be running continuously, as ACUs hold all the information they need to provide
the security features that have been set up.
When EXcel 4 is used as a two-door controller, four inputs and two relays become
"spare" and may be used for monitoring and control of other equipment.
