• The Open/Close scheduling is controlled by one of three
individual schedules. Each schedule consists of one time window
for openings and one time window for closings. There are three
types of schedules available: Daily, Holiday, and Temporary.
• Each partition can have one daily schedule consisting of one
opening window and one closing window per day.
• A holiday schedule will override the regular daily schedule on
selected holidays throughout the year.
• The temporary schedule provides a method for the end user
to override the daily and holiday schedules. It consists of one
opening window and one closing window for each day of the
week. The schedule automatically takes effect for up to one
week, after which it is deactivated. This schedule is programmed
using the #81 Temporary Schedule Menu Mode. Refer to that
section for procedures.
• Additional opening and closing schedules can be
programmed using the time-driven event programming
options. For example,
opening/closing can be programmed with open/close schedules,
and another open/close schedule for beginning and ending lunch
hour can be programmed using the time driven event schedule
programming. Refer to the Time Driven Events paragraph later
in this section for detailed information.
• The system can help reduce communication traffic to the
central station by using the exception reporting feature, set
in partition-specific programme field 2*09. The Open/Close by
exception option suppresses these reports from being sent to
central station if an arm or disarm is done within the expected
time window. Reports are only sent if the open/close occurs
outside the assigned time window. The system keeps a record of
all openings/closings in its event log.
• In the event an opening occurs immediately following a closing
during the closing window (a person who arms the system
forgets something and has to reenter), the opening report
(although outside of the opening window) will not be sent. (as
long as the reentering occurs within the closing window);
otherwise a report will be sent). This feature is designed to
prevent false alarms to central station.
• The following diagram gives an example of how the open/close by
exception reporting works.
