Install Keypads And Readers - Pyronix PCX 46 Engineer Reference Manual

5.8 Install Keypads and Readers?

Ensure that all keypads and readers are addressed correctly before enabling them in this function.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that every area that can be armed, or to which an input is
allocated, can be disarmed by at least one keypad/tag reader.
5.8.1 Device Address
Address [0] is reserved for the first LCD keypad on the bus. In the addresses from 1 to 5 is possible
to allocate external wired readers or LCD keypads.
5.8.2 Device Type
The device types that is possible to program are LCD keypads [0] or Readers [1].
5.8.3 Reader Device Type
This option will only appear when you program a Reader into the system. You can then select how you
would like the Reader to operate.
Arm/Disarm
This will make the Reader act like a normal keypad (arming/disarming the areas etc.)
Device Arms Areas: This feature programs which area(s) the reader can arm.
Device Disarms: This feature programs which area(s) the reader can disarm.
Device in Area: This feature programs in which area(s) the reader is active.
Door Name: Enter the name of the door such as Front Door.
Door Location: Enter the location of the door such as First Floor.
Arm/Disarm Sub-Area
A reader can be used to create sub-areas controlled independently from the area.
Add Inputs: Each sub-area may consist of any number of inputs, all of which must be allocated to the
same area. No input may be allocated to more than one sub-area. Entry Delay input types cannot be
allocated to a sub-area and in the sub-area the arming/disarming if the inputs is immediate without
delay timers. The sub-areas can be operated by proximity tag, or by key (or other) switch wired into
the first input on the tag reader. Notice the proximity Tags for sub-area control are programmed
through the Manager menu through the change codes options. The reader provides 'Alarm' and
'Ready' outputs dedicated to that sub-area. It also provides relevant indications, including Arm/Disarm
status, so should always be located adjacent to the controlling Key switch where this is used. Sub-
Area Arms: If this option is selected as 'If Area Armed' then the sub-area will always arm when the
area in which is it located is armed. If selected as 'Never' it will always require manual arming from
the tag. The sub-area must ALWAYS be disarmed manually. An additional option is available in the
'SYSTEM OPTIONS' menu, to permit a 'Open After Alarm' (abort) signal to be generated by silencing
an alarm at the Reader after alarm has been generated in the sub-area. Please see page 21
