4.7.8 Ward Control
A reader can be used to create 'wards' which are sub-area's that work independently from the
assigned area.
Ward Inputs: Each ward may consist of any number of inputs, all of which must be allocated to
the same area. No input can be allocated to more than one ward. Final Exit input types cannot be
allocated to a ward and in the ward the setting/unsetting if the inputs is immediate without delay
timers. The ward can be either be operated by proximity tag, or by key (or other) switch wired
into the first input of the tag reader.
NOTE: The proximity tags for ward controls are programmed through the Master Manager menu
through the 'CHANGE CODES' options. The reader provides 'Alarm' and 'Ready' outputs dedicated
to that ward. It also provides relevant indications, including set/unset status, so these should
always be located adjacent to the controlling switch where used.
Auto Readmits: If this option is selected as 'When Area Set' then the ward control will always set
when the area in which is it located is set. If selected as 'Never' it will always require manual
setting from a programmed tag. The ward control must ALWAYS be unset manually. An
additional option is available in the 'SYSTEM OPTIONS' menu, to allow an Abort signal to be
generated by silencing an alarm at the Reader after alarm has been generated in the sub-area.
Ward Control By: A ward may be controlled by a tag or an input.
