Exceptions are generic entities that can be assigned to one or more calendars. When an exception is
assigned to a calendar, the exception settings override any calendar configuration for that start and end
date period with both dates inclusive.
Configuring Exception Days
1. Select Configuration > Calendars > Exception Days > Add.
2. Configure the fields as described in the table below.
Description Enter a name for the exception (16 characters max).

Time
Select the desired times for setting/unsetting or for triggers. Use time
guidelines for Automatic Setting/Unsetting of Areas (see Automatic
setting/unsetting of areas below), or for Automatic Setting/Unsetting of other
Panel Operations (see Automatic setting/unsetting of other panel operations
below).
Calendars Select the desired calendar(s) for effect.
NOTICE: Global exception days created remotely using the SPC Manager tool cannot be deleted or
removed.
15.10.5.2 Automatic setting/unsetting of areas
A calendar can be configured for area auto-sets or auto-unsets.
For any day of the week, a configuration can have a maximum of 4 set times and 4 unset times.
Configured times use the 24 hour clock (hh:mm). If the hour is 24, then minutes must be 00, such as
midnight is 24:00. It is possible to define a set time without an unset and vice-versa. Configured times
trigger the area to either set or unset (provided all conditions are satisfied). Times entered are not
considered as a duration of time, rather they are a point in time that said action (set/unset) will occur. If
the controller is powered up or reset, the set/unset status is kept and subsequent set or unset times
occur according to configuration.
15.10.5.3 Automatic setting/unsetting of other panel operations
Panel operations including triggers, enabling of users, zones, physical outputs can be automatically set
or unset using On/Off, True/False or Active/Inactive state configurations.
A valid On and Off time must be specified for this operation.
On/Off, True/False or Active/Inactive states can be assigned to an output that effectively turns on or off
and can be configured for any day of the week. State configurations have a maximum of 4 set times and
4 unset times. Configured times use the 24 hour clock (hh:mm). If the hour is 24, then minutes must be
00, such as midnight is 24:00. Each configuration consists of a pairing of settings for On/Off, True/False,
Active/Inactive states. Any one setting without a respective corresponding setting is disregarded.
