Door Functions Tab

Reader Form

Use this tab to define the door settings associated with the selected reader.

Element	Description
Time	• Maximum unlock: The time interval in minutes and seconds that a door remains unlocked after
	the reader reads a valid badge. This is the amount of time that a user has to open a door
	based on a valid input.
	1) Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 60	(maximum) minutes.
	2) Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 59	(maximum) seconds.

Example: A facilities employee may be required to move equipment or furniture in and out of rooms. The assignment requires a block of time beyond the normal unlock time as configured and sufficient time to empty or fill rooms through which access is gained by a reader and valid facility badge.

•Alarm sense: The time interval in minutes and seconds that a door can remain open (with a valid badge read or an exit request). This time must always be greater than the maximum unlock time.

1)Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 62 minutes.

2)Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 59 (maximum) seconds.

The Alarm sense time for the Reader and the DI Sense Time on the DI form are added together to determine the total time that a door can remain open before the system triggers a Door Held Open alarm.

•Extended unlock: The extended time interval in minutes and seconds that a door remains unlocked after the reader reads a valid badge.

1)Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 60 (maximum) minutes.

2)Enter a number between 0 (minimum) and 59 (maximum) seconds.

Example: If the door is used by handicapped persons or the reader is mounted at a distance from the door, a longer unlock time may be required. If a 0 is entered in this field, the current state of the reader is changed (or toggled) to its opposite state. The standard situation is the first badge read causes the door to unlock and the next badge read toggles the door locked. This time interval is also used if you selected Duration in the Lock On field below.

•Extended Alarm sense: This time interval is calcuated automatically and is a read-only entry. The following illustrates time interval relationships:

The time intervals follow this formula:

extended alarm sense = alarm sense + extended unlock – maximum unlock

Door Lock Once the door is unlocked, this field allows you to specify when the door should relock.

On• Close: With this option, when the door is closed, the door lock will lock immediately regardless of the Maximum Unlock Time (Maximum unlock field above) and the Alarm Sense Time (Alarm sense field above) is reset to zero.

•Open: With this option, when the door is opened, the Maximum Unlock Time (Maximum unlock field above) is set to zero and the door lock will lock. When the door is closed at any time during this process, the Alarm Sense Time (Alarm sense field above) is reset to zero.

•Duration: With this option, after the Maximum Unlock Time (Maximum unlock field above) expires, the door will lock when closed and the Alarm Sense Time is reset to zero. During the Maximum Unlock Time, the state of the door does not affect the Maximum Unlock Time or the Alarm Sense Time.
