GX-Series Control Panel Installation and Setup Guide
SECTION 5: ACCESS CONTROL
NOTE: For UL294 applications all panic hardware must be UL listed.
Door Control Modules (DCMs) can be added onto the GX-Series bus lines to add fully integrated access
control. Each DCM allows two Wiegand readers to be connected to control two separate doors; each door with
an exit button or one door with an entry and exit reader.
Group Based Access Control
Access control works best when Group Mode is enabled. Each access reader can then be programmed to
control access to a particular group (or area/subsystem) within the building. Only users who have access
privileges to that group will be granted access via that reader.
User and Access Templates
Every user on the system must be allocated an access template. An access template is a list of groups and
time schedules that will dictate which groups a user is able to gain access to and also the times that the
user can gain access. This method means that if there are multiple doors leading into one group or area,
then a user will be given access to all those doors in one move. This reduces programming time and
complexity. The Access Template to be used for each user is chosen within each user's options in menu
42.1.11 = Template. There are multiple access templates available (dependant on panel variant) and each
one is fully customizable.
Access Templates are programmed in menu 45.7 = Access Templates. In each Access Template each
group on the system must be allocated a time schedule as required. If no schedule is allocated to a particular
group (default) in the list then users will have full access through any doors leading to that group. When a
schedule is allocated, access will be granted during the OFF periods of the schedule and denied during the
ON periods. Time schedules are programmed in menu 65 = Timers.
Time Schedules
A Time schedule is a weekly list of on and off times and can be used to control the security of any object to
which it is assigned. When a timer is ON it forces a secure state [system set (armed), access denied etc].
When a timer is in the OFF state, it causes an unsecure state [system unset (disarmed) or access allowed
etc]. Up to 28 on or off times can be programmed into each weekly schedule. Up to 67 schedules are available
dependant on panel variant. For each time schedule, it is possible to allocate one of 32 Holiday Calendars. A
Holiday Calendar is a list of 20 holiday periods, each with a start and end date, which suspend normal timer
operation. During a holiday period, one of two things can happen.
1. The timer is frozen in its current state (on or off) and will resume operation from the next event when
the holiday period finishes.
2. An alternate time schedule can be appointed to be used for the duration of the holiday period.
Door Control Module
Door Control Modules (DCMs) can be added onto the GX-Series bus lines to add fully integrated access
control. Each DCM allows up to two Wiegand readers to be connected to control two separate doors; each
door with an exit button or one door with an entry and exit reader.
U L
For UL installations, use Rosslare Enterprises Model AY-L10 reader (Honeywell P/N OP30HONR).
