Set TZ Table
The Set TZ Table command allows you to create or edit Time Zone and Holiday
tables. A time zone is an identified period-of-time and days-of-the-week, during which
a user is allowed access to an area secured by a Hand Reader. Once a user is assigned a
Time Zone (refer to the Set User Time Zone command on page 48), access attempts
outside of that time/date period are rejected by the Hand Reader.
A time zone may be “split.” This means that a time zone may identify more than one
set of period-of-time and days-of-the-week – up to four sets in one time zone. This
provides a great deal of flexibility in providing secured access through a Hand Reader.
Time Zone information can also be printed for review or cleared if a time zone
becomes unnecessary.
All time entries made for time zones are entered in 24-hour format. For example, 8
A.M. is entered as 08:00, 5 P.M. is entered as 17:00, and 11 P.M is entered as 23:00.
The Holiday schedule for a calendar year can be entered. Once a holiday schedule is
set, holidays are applied to time zones just like another day of the week (1 to 7 for the
days of the week, 8 for holidays). Once entered, the holiday schedule can be printed
for review and cleared.
Certain holidays, such as Easter and Thanksgiving, change their days from year to
year. You must review and edit your holiday schedule each year to ensure the correct
days are counted as holidays.
An Unlock Time Zone can also be set. The unlock time zone is a special time zone that
automatically unlocks the door associated with a Hand Reader when the time zone is
active, and then automatically locks that door when the time zone becomes inactive.
This can be used on doors where general access is allowed during specific times of the
day (such as business hours).
