Note
If a key is present, all operations (arm, disarm, etc.) will apply only to the partitions common to both the
key and reader.
READER LED OFF
If the installer has enabled the “LED Off reader” option (or “50131LedOFFLett.” on keypads
option), the reader LEDs will remain Off when there is no key in the vicinity of the reader (in
order to hide the armed status of the partitions).
7-2
Keys
The Prime system is capable of managing INIM's contact-free digital-keys, which are available
in various versions:
• tags for proximity readers
• cards for proximity readers
• keyfobs (remote-control keys)
Each key is unique and is identified by a random code selected from over 4 billion code
combinations. During the installation phase, each key must be enrolled in order to allow it to
operate on the system.
Each key is characterized by the following parameters (programmed by the installer) in
accordance with the requirements of the key user.
•The partitions the user can control. If a key is used at a reader, it can operate only on the
partitions the two devices have in common. For example, if the key controls partitions 1, 3,
and 5 and the reader controls partitions 1, 2 and 6, the key can operate on partition 1 only,
as it is the only partition the key and reader have in common. If a button on the remote-
control is pressed, the user will be allowed access only to the partitions the device is
assigned to.
•Up to 4 Shortcuts.
•A Timer can be set up to restrict the use of a key. The system will allow the key to operate
the system only when the Timer is active. In this way, the user will be unable to access the
system at all other times.
•The “Patrol” option, usually enabled on keys used by security personnel or night
watchmen who must patrol the protected premises. This type of key does not allow the
user to select the “Arm Type”. When a key with this attribute is recognized, the system will
perform the following operations:
- Disarm the partitions common to the key and reader concerned.
- Activate the respective Patrol Time for the partitions concerned.
- Re-arm the partitions (as before) when the Patrol Time expires.
If the patrol key is held in the vicinity of the reader while the Patrol Time is still
running (for example, if the inspection ends ahead of time), the Patrol Time will
end immediately and the partitions will arm as before.
•The Service (maintenance) option which allows keys to deactivate instantly any outputs
associated with zone and partition alarm/tamper events (on the Partitions the key and
reader have in common). This type of key can select the reader shortcuts and its
customized (personal) shortcuts.
