Unit ID or Ring Count
Unit ID or Ring Count is the number of rings the TEC listens to before it answers. This is
useful for the software (Selcom 7 or newer) to identify that it is connected to the correct unit and
operating the door control relay without being called, or for Remote Programming. If ring count is 0,
the TEC will not answer at all. To change the ring count from the factory default of 3 rings, press "7"
from the System Parameters menu to get this sub-menu. Key in the desired number from 0 - 9 and
press "Enter" key. This will return you to the System Parameters menu.
STRIKE OUT
Strike Out refers to the number of incorrect PIN code entries that can be made before the TEC
"locks up". Once the TEC "locks up", it ignores any key entries for 60 seconds. This is to discourage
attempts to guess PIN codes. Select Strike Out from the Door Control menu by pressing "9". To
change from the factory default setting of 3, press any key from 0 - 9 and then press "Enter" key.
NOTE: IF 0 IS SELECTED, THE TEC WILL PERMIT UNLIMITED ATTEMPTS TO
GUESS PIN CODES.
If you enter an invalid PIN code, an error message like
the one at right, will display. Wait until the title screen (if
selected) appears, or until the error message goes away before
re-keying the PIN code.
If the number of strike outs is exceeded, an error tone will
sound. A message like the one at right, will be shown on the
If you enter a valid PIN code, the door control relay will energize
and the open message shown at right, will display on the TEC for
approximately 2 seconds and then revert back to the title page.
TITLE PAGE
The Title Page has two lines of up to sixteen characters per line, including punctuation. The
Title Page can be programmed from the keypad in the same manner as names were programmed.
The TEC comes with a title page that says "PRESS # TO VIEW DIRECTORY", until the title
page is reprogrammed. To program the Title Page from the factory default of "PRESS # TO VIEW
DIRECTORY", press "9" from the System Parameters menu to get this sub-menu. Key in the desired
characters.
Press BkSpc from a terminal program, or "0" and "#" simultaneously from the keypad, to
backspace one character. When the first line is complete, press "Enter" or "*" key to advance to the
second line.
TITLE PAGE additional Line
Continue the second line as required. If you require any modifications of line 2, then line 1
must be re-entered first. After completion, press "Enter" key. This will return you to the System
Parameters menu.
NOTE: REMEMBER TO PRESS "#" KEY AFTER LAST CHARACTER, OR IT WILL
NOT BE PROGRAMMED.
