Secure access
Description of the application
Secure access is a simplified type of security application.
Typical secure access applications are operated from a secured
control panel, and use partitions with no entry or exit delay
timers.
Secure access applications often use the control panel LCD
module (or dedicated Control/LED display modules) to control
the security partitions. Partitions can be armed or disarmed using
any of the following:
• LCD menus
• EST3 Control/LED modules
• FireWorks interface
• ENVOY annunciators
• KPDISP
A secure access system can be implemented using either
Signature or Analog Addressable security devices. Signature
devices are less prone to false alarms, and are more resistant to
tampering, since they cannot be swapped with deliberately
compromised devices.
SDU programming
When you create a secure access application, use the SDU to
create partitions as required. When configuring the partitions, set
the Entry Delay Timer and Exit Delay Timer values to zero.
When configuring SIGA-SEC2 and SIGA-MD devices, set the
Delay to None.
You can use LCD menu commands to arm and disarm the
partitions. To do so, you must check the Enable LCD Security
Control Functions check box. This is located on the Options tab
of the Cabinet Configuration dialog box. Checking this box
causes the Security menu to appear in the Command Menus list.
You can use any suitable Control/LED module to arm and
disarm partitions. Configure the switches as momentary contact
switches, and use them to activate command lists. Program the
command lists to perform the desired arm and disarm actions and
control the LEDs.
Refer to the SDU Online Help for more information on rule
programming for secure access applications.
