Review this information, as well as the information contained in
the first section, with everyone who will use or maintain this
system. The "User's Instructions" can be copied and distributed.
If the system includes card entry, it is important to make sure the
cardholders know how to properly use their card. This training
will make sure that user problems are minimized.
VISITOR ENTRY
• When entry is allowed, neither party should hang-up until the
appropriate key on the telephone has been pressed.
• The unit has a feature that may be used to initiate
communication with the visitor.
• Dial the telephone number to which the system is connected.
• When the system answers, press the
telephone. This will establish two-way communications using
the system's speaker and microphone, but will not allow the
user to grant entry. The call will time out just like a call placed
from the system.
CODE/CARD ENTRY
ENTRY CODE ERRORS
• If a mistake is made entering a code, the incorrect entry can be
cleared by pressing the
then be entered.
• When an incorrect entry code is made on the main keypad,
the system will display the message
"INVALID CODE - PLEASE WAIT" for 3 seconds. The system
will then display "NOW TRY AGAIN."
However, if this incorrect entry code causes the system to meet
the "strikes and out" limit, the message "INVALID ENTRY" will
display. If a code on that keypad within the next 3 minutes, the
system will display the message "SYSTEM IN USE." Other
keypads will continue to operate normally.
USING A CARD READER
When using card entry, a green light on the system's card reader
will signal the user that entry has been granted. Typically, no
indication is made using an entry code (if necessary, indicator
lights can be installed on the keypads).

PRINTER OUTPUT
Whenever a transaction occurs, the system will send a record of
that event to the RS232 port. If the system is equipped with a
printer, each record will be printed on a single line.
The format of that printout is as follows:
DATE TIME SOURCE OF ACTIVITY CODE NAME RESULT/REASON
SOURCE OF ACTIVITY
Indicates what caused the transaction record to be generated.
Possible sources are:
KEYPAD
Indicates that an entry code was used at a specific keypad.
CARD READER
Indicates that a card was used at a specific card reader.
PHONE ENTRY
Indicates which door was opened by the user.
EXIT REQUEST
Indicates when an exit request has been made.
DOOR AJAR
Occurs when the door is held open or forced open for
more than one minute after the lock is reactivated.
AUTO UNLOCK OR LOCK
Occurs when the door or gate is automatically unlocked
and opened or automatically closed and locked based on
the programmed schedule.
LATCH DOOR
Occurs when the system is directed to latch the gate open
or unlock the door until given further instructions.
Each of these descriptions will also include a number which
represents the unit and the door/relay at which the activity
occurred. For example, a 2.1 indicates the activity would be at
relay 1 in unit 2.
CODE
Indicates an entry code, card code or a directory code.
RESULT/REASON
Indicates you whether access was granted or denied, and, if it
was denied, why. The word "ALARM" will also print if the door
has been broken open or if the "strikes and out" feature was
invoked (see Initial System Set-Up, programming number
06 – Setting Strikes and Out, page 14).
