Door Forced; Duress - Progeny Chameleon Manual

opening a PDO timer starts. If this timer reaches a pre set value before the door
closes, a two-tone PDO alarm will be heard from the keyboard and the PDO
output will activate. Pressing keys 7 and 8 simultaneously to mute the current two
tone sound from the controller.
PDO alarm cancels automatically when the door is closed. The PDO alarm is not
active if the door is open due to Toggle or Hold command.

DOOR FORCED

The operation of the door forced alarm depends on the ability of the controller
knowing when the door has been opened legitimately or not. In order to do this
both the door sensor input and the ReQuest to Exit (RQE) inputs must be wired.
Thus if the door is detected as opening without the lock being released then a
Door Forced alarm will go active and latch. Door forced alarms can be cancelled
by presenting a valid proximity card or entering the valid programming code.

DURESS

If the duress feature is turned on, a duress alarm is generated when one enters
an access code with the last digit incremented. For example if your access code
is "1 2 3 4" then if you enter "1 2 3 5" the door will be released as normal but also
the duress alarm output will go active and latch. A duress alarm can only be
cancelled by entering the valid programming code. If the duress feature is turned
off, then "1 2 3 5" would not open the door. See "ENGINEERING SETTINGS"
later in this manual.
