GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
By default each reader is assigned to all groups on the system. Groups can be removed as
required to restrict the operation of the DCM reader.
NOTE: Each DCM card can be assigned a single menu function (refer to option 42 = CODES).
Activating this function with a card that is assigned to all groups, on a reader that is only
assigned to a single group, results in the function operating on all of the card's groups. The DCM
function is not restricted to the groups assigned to the reader, it is restricted to the groups
assigned to the card, as long as there is one group common to both. This means that a DCM
reader assigned only to group 1, for example, can be used to activate the DCM reader function
on groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 by a card with all of these groups allocated. The groups are assigned to
the DCM card using option 42 = CODES.
3 = Exit Group - Option not available
This allows the group outside of the protected area to be defined. This is only used in
conjunction with an exit reader, so that the current location of a specific user can be tracked.
05 = Emergencies
This option allows each individual DCM reader to be configured to respond to fire zones in a
given set of groups. Upon the opening of a fire zone in one of the groups allocated to the reader,
the reader will trigger the door strike and hold the door open until the system is reset. The DCM
LED will light and the buzzer will sound. Closing the fire zone will have no effect - the DCM
readers are treated as latched outputs and an appropriate level reset is required, at which point
they are immediately reset.
A second group map is allocated to each DCM reader in order to facilitate this function. This
permits the existing door control features to be completely detached from the fire escape
features.
The default setting for each DCM reader is all groups selected. Therefore, a system, which is
unchanged from the default will open all DCM doors in response to any fire zone activation.
Selecting the Emergencies option selects the groups you want allocated to the DCM readers for
escape purposes and accepts the programming by pressing the enter key. When a fire zone is
activated in any of the groups programmed, the door controlled by the DCM will be opened.
06 = AntiPassBack
This option, when enabled, will prevent more than one use of any particular card at a particular
reader within a given time period.
A forgiveness function is available to clear all or particular antipassback restrictions in force. A
manager code can authorize a forgive function on a particular user in option 42.1 = Codes.User
Codes. An engineer code can authorize a forgive function on a particular reader.
1 = Mode
This option has three settings
0 = Off
No antipassback restriction.
1 = Soft
Access is never denied but any violations will be recorded in the event log.
2 = Hard
No access will be granted for a second swipe within the antipassback period, following a
valid swipe.
2 = Timeout (0-60 minutes)
This option specifies the time that the antipassback restriction lasts for. The default is 0
minutes.
3 = Forgive
This option allows the engineer to remove all antipassback restrictions for the selected
DCM. Use the A> and <B keys to select the reader address the press ent to forgive.
07 = APB
Not used
6-130
