AP1 Operation and the Graphic Display:
The AP1 incorporates a display capable of rendering mono chrome graphics images.
This capability has been leveraged in the firmware while still maintaining the text only
capabilities of the VP and APEX.
When a credential is entered at the AP1 a request is made of the controller. The
controller responds with one of the following message types:
Response Message Type
Access Granted
Area Closed
Area Denied
Code Expired
Code Suspended
Code Unknown
Contrast Code
AP1 Action
These are all simple responses with no accompanying
text. For each message type the AP1 has a graphic base
response.
The response can include multiple sequenced images
where the display time per image can be specified. The
images can be customized through the RS485 interface.
(customization over RS485 not yet implemented).
Since the AP1 know that decision to allow access made
by the controller it will automatically trip Relay 1 with the
configured on-time as well as emit a long beep tone for
granted and 3 beeps for denied responses.
Since the relay will trip automatically there is no need to
specify an access granted relay in SL, however if the AP1
receives a relay command it will override its current state.
To see these responses set the device type to an AP1
keypad in Storlogix.
Note that the contrast code response is not implemented.
This is left over from legacy LCD products that allowed the
contrast to be adjusted from the keypad. The specific code
used is determined by controller.
