Install Keypads And Readers - Pyronix PCX 46 App Programming Reference Manual

5.5 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 zone/input is
allocated, can be disarmed by at least one keypad/tag reader.
5.5.1 Device Address
Address [0] is reserved for the first LCD keypad on the bus. In the addresses from 1 to 5 it is possible
to allocate external wired readers or LCD keypads.
5.5.2 Device Type
The device types that are possible to program are LCD keypads [0] or Readers [1].
5.5.3 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.
Device Name: Enter the name of the device for example: 'Front Door'.
Enter Number: Enter a number of the device, such as: 'Reader 01'
Zone Description: Enter a description /any additional information that is helpful.
Arm/Disarm Sub-Area
A reader can be used to create sub-areas controlled independently from the area.
Add Zones: Each sub-area may consist of any number of zones/inputs, all of which must be allocated
to the same area. No zone/input may be allocated to more than one sub-area. Entry Delay zone/input
types cannot be allocated to a sub-area and in the sub-area the arming/disarming of the zones/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 zone/input on the tag reader. Notice the proximity Tags for sub-area
control are programmed through the Manager menu in 'LEARN USER CODES KEYFOBS & TAGS'. 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 'COMMUNICATIONS' -> 'Digi Modem Signalling' -> custom 'Event Type'
options, called 'S-Area Alarm-Rst' to permit an abort signal to be generated by silencing an alarm at
the Reader after an alarm has been generated in the sub-area.
