The Base Unit

The Base Unit serves as the main pro-
gramming console for the PTI Falcon
access control system. Figure One illus-
trates the front view of the PTI Falcon Base
Unit.
At the top of the unit there is a two line by
sixteen character liquid crystal display.
When the display is not being used for
programming, it will display the current date
and time.
The center of the unit contains a keypad in a
standard telephone arrangement. Often
during programming, you will be asked a
"Yes or No" question. When responding, the
"*" key indicates "No" and the "#" key
indicates "Yes". If you make a mistake when
entering numeric data, the "*" key can also be used to backup or rubout one character at a
time. When the correct data has been keyed in, the "#" key serves as the <Enter> key to
save the data in memory.
The front of the Base Unit contains a 3.5mm standard audio cassette jack, which is used
by the cassette tape memory backup system. This one plug is used for both recording and
playing a tape with the Base Unit.
