Using Digital Keys and Cards
The ECLIPSE Key and PROXI Card Readers simplify system control, by repla-
cing User Code PINs with high Security Digital Keys or Cards. The Readers have
3 LEDs, this section describes how the LEDs will signal the System status.
No Key/Card at Reader
When no Digital Key/Card is present at the Reader, the LEDs will signal as
shown in Table 14.
The Partitions that are not controlled by the Reader will not affect the LEDs.
If the configuration of the Armed Partitions does not match either A or B Mode
Arming (for example, one of the Reader Partitions has been Armed via Keypad),
neither the Amber nor Green LED will turn ON.
The Installer can program the Reader LEDs to signal the System status at all
times, or alternatively, only in response to a Valid Key/Card (LEDs OFF when
no Key/Card is present).
Key/Card at Reader
When a Key/Card is present at the Reader, the LEDs will signal as follows.
a) Fast Blinking on 1 LED - Before Arming the Partitions, the Control panel
will check the status of the Unbypassed (ON) and Instant Zones. If a Zone
is ‘Violated’ (e.g. door or window open), the LED, associated with the
selected Mode Arming, will blink quickly. If this occurs, DO NOT ARM
the System, as Arming will provoke a False Alarm.
NOTE: It takes the Control panel about 2 seconds to check all the Zones.
False Alarms can be stopped by simply Disarming the system (refer to ‘Digital Key/
Card Readers Operations’ in this section). If you accidentally initiate an Alarm, call
the Central Station to prevent the operator from taking unnecessary action.
