In an Enterprise-wide intrusion detection and access control system, thousands of Challenger systems can be programmed, controlled, and monitored by hundreds of operators working on management software computers in remote locations. Refer to the documentation provided with the management software for details. Challenger10 Administrators Manual...
MAINTENANCE, RECORDS AND REPORTS. Note that this standard requires that routine maintenance be performed at least once per year. Refer to the Challenger10 Programming Manual for maintenance recommendations. Challenger user interfaces A Challenger system typically has at least one LCD RAS connected to one of two LANs (RS-485 data buses).
Welcome screen A RAS’s LCD screen displays messages about the state of the Challenger system and to help navigate the menu options (subject to permissions). The display might also show information you have entered on the keypad. Challenger10 Administrators Manual...
