Open/Close Schedules Definitions
General
The open/close scheduling is controlled by one of three
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.
Daily Schedule
Each partition can have one daily schedule consisting of
one opening window and one closing window per day.
Holiday Schedule
A holiday schedule overrides the regular daily schedule
on selected holidays throughout the year.
The opening and closing windows are programmed in
the daily schedule, but the holidays themselves are
defined in Holiday Schedule Programming in the #80
Menu Mode.
Temporary Schedule
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 takes effect for
up to one week, after which it is automatically
deactivated.
This schedule is programmed using the #81 Temporary
Schedule Menu Mode.
Example of Open/Close Exception Reporting & Scheduling
The following chart gives an example of how the Open/Close by Exception reporting works.

Section 6 – Scheduling Options
Additional Schedules
Additional opening and closing schedules can be
programmed using the Time-Driven Event
Programming. For example, a schedule for normal
store openings/closings can be programmed with a daily
open/close schedule, and another open/close schedule
for a lunch hour can be programmed using the Time-
Driven event schedule programming.
Refer to "Time-Driven Events" later in this section for
detailed information.
Open/Close Reports by Exception
The system can help reduce communication traffic to
the central station by using the Open/Close Reports by
Exception feature. The Open/Close by Exception option
suppresses these reports from being sent to the central
station if an arm or disarm is done within the expected
time window. Reports are only sent if the arm or
disarm occurs outside the assigned time window.
The system keeps a record of all openings/closings in
its event log.
If a disarming occurs during a closing window (for
example, a person who arms the system forgets
something and has to re-enter), the Opening report
(although outside of the opening window) will not be
sent (as long as that disarming occurs within the
closing window).
This option is programmed in partition-specific
program field 2*09.

No reports are sent

Auto-arm delay begins.
Auto-arm warning begins.
Auto-arm occurs after

Missed Closing reports are
sent if manual arming has
not occurred at expiration
of closing window.
Late Closing reports are
sent if system is manually
armed after the closing
window expires.
