this zone is active. Cards without PIN code assignments will be allowed access immediately – provided they have been passed for
that time zone. The digits of the PIN code itself are configured during card setup.
Time zones and doors
The first 16 time zones can be assigned to doors during door configuration. The properties of the time zone will control the door
when that time zone is active. Any door assigned the active time zone will remain open/locked for that time period.
Setting up new time zones
Enter the number of the time zone you wish to configure. By default, the display shows the time zone number and the time settings
of the first two time slots.
Enter times for Time Slot 1. The # key moves the cursor from On-time hours and minutes to Off-time hours and minutes. Press #
again to accept your settings.
Note Time Zone 0 is 24 hrs 7 days a week.
Assigning zones to days
The menu scrolls through the days Sunday to Holiday. Press YES or NO to toggle the zone to each day in turn and # to accept.
Note that it is possible to assign more than one zone to a particular day.
Note If the time zone is se tup for a holiday and if the current day is a holiday, then the time zone is active.
PIN Code required
If a higher level of security is required at a door at certain times, the PIN code access option allows you to attach a PIN code to a time
zone. If this is set to YES, then any cards with PIN codes attached (see “Setup Cards” on page 8-42) will be required to enter a PIN
code when this time zone is active.
Note The door must also be configured for PINpad.
Allow PIN code only
This option is only available on Access Control Node software rev. 1.06 or later. This allows the cardholder to gain access using just
the card's PIN code, without the need to use the card. If two cardholders' PIN codes match, however, the system will use the first
cardholders information to log the data. Ideally each cardholder should have a unique PIN code. This feature is only enabled when
the cardholder has a time zone with the PIN ONLY attribute set. When the time zone is active, the cardholder can simply enter his
code to gain access. When the time zone has elapsed, card and PIN are required. The Duress code is now activated by keying in
the code followed by the hash key (#) on the PINpad.
Door Open
When attached to a time zone, the Door Open option will keep a door unlocked while the time zone is active. By assigning this
zone to a number of doors, you ensure that these doors will remain unlocked while the zone is active. Choose YES to enable this
option. # accepts your settings. Note that the time zone must also be assigned to the door in “Door Configure - Zones” on page
8-53. The menu returns you to the ENTER TIME ZONE prompt. Choose NO to quit.
Door Locked
When attached to a time zone, the Door Locked option will keep a door locked while the time zone is active. By assigning this
zone to a number of doors, you ensure that these doors will remain locked while the zone is active. Choose YES to enable this
option. # accepts your settings. Note that the time zone must also be assigned to the door in “Door Configure - Zones” on page 8-
53. The menu returns you to the ENTER TIME ZONE prompt. Choose NO to quit.
Printing your time zone data
Before quitting the Time Zone Setup menu, you will be asked if you want to PRINT TIME ZONE DATA? You have the option to
print out the settings for all time zones or an individual zone.
