SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
ACCESS CONTROL
Access Control from a TEC is based on four general sets of conditions:
1) When a resident (who has been called from a TEC) keys in a valid door tone.
2) When a valid PIN code is presented at a door that is valid:
a) based on the time of day.
b) based on the day of week.
c) based on whether the day of the week is a Holiday or not.
3) When a valid card number is presented at an (optional) door card reader which is valid:
a) based on the card reader next to the entrance chosen for access.
b) based on the time of day.
c) based on the day of week.
d) based on whether the day of the week is a Holiday or not.
4) When an entrance group is valid, using automatic un-lock and re-lock (with optional clock).
The TEC has many combinations of access control based on these criteria. This versatility can be
confusing to an installer, unless the access has been carefully defined BEFORE programming begins. The order
in which to plan for an installation should be as follows:
1. Define access area. One entrance, or up to 4?
2. Define time zones.
What times is access allowed?
For Whom is access allowed? Everybody, or different groups of people?
What days is access to be allowed?
Are the time zones the same for different days, or different for different days?
Are Holidays used, and do Holidays require different time zones?
3. Define Access levels.
What time zone is valid for a given access level?
Which door is valid for an access level?
Is more than one door valid for a time zone?
4. Define Access Groups.
What combinations of access levels are in a group?
Is the access group to be used for PIN codes and Cards?
Is the access group to be used for automatic un-lock and re-lock?
The menu choices in this manual follow the order in which they appear on a TEC. These choices are in
reverse order from how a site installation is typically planned. This is to force the installer to decide site
requirements before beginning to program the TEC. The TEC was designed this way to help keep an unwary
installer from "programming himself into a corner." There are tables associated with each section. They are there
to help with site planning. It is strongly recommended they be completely filled out BEFORE attempting any
programming.
ACCESS GROUPS
Access Groups are used to allow groups of individuals card or PIN access by assigning a level or combination of
levels to their group. Access Group Zero is predefined as an unlimited group. Group Zero allows access 24 hours
a day, ALL days of the year. Access Groups are assigned to the individuals in the Directory. If you do not
assign a Group to an individual during the directory entry, Zero (0) is assigned by default.
Since Access Levels have different Time Zone and entrance combinations, this creates many combinations for
control of an entrance based on PIN, Card, or time of day.
Once Access Groups are enabled, an Access Group number for a given code number MUST be specified.
The other application for Access Groups is for automatic Unlocking and Relocking Entrances 1 - 4. An Access
Group also may be one that has no valid Access Levels when it is needed to prevent entrance access.

Questions and answers
How to change a listed resident's phone number
To change a listed resident's phone number in the Select Engineered Systems TEC Series, you need the Manager's Password. The first three digits of the Program Password serve as the Manager's Password. Once you have access, follow these steps:
1. Enter the Communications Setup menu.
2. Use the Manager's Password to access the settings that allow phone number changes.
3. Locate the option to edit resident details, including phone numbers.
4. Input the new phone number.
5. Confirm the change by pressing the "Enter" key.
This updates the resident's phone number in the system.
