10 V8-U-TXT.PM6 : Issue I , Revision I : October 1997
As a user, you are identified by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and/or a Card.
The PIN is a 4 to 10 digit number given to, or selected by a user.
It can be any combination of numbers between 0 and 9.
In The Challenger programming, your PIN/Card is associated with a User number which identifies
you to The Challenger.
When a Card and/or PIN is used, the programming ensures that the only functions performed will be those authorized to
the specific PIN/Card holder. This is achieved by three features which group functions together to create:
i) alarm groups, ii) door groups and iii) floor groups.
Alarm Groups:
There are many alarm groups and each one is allotted specific areas and a specific set of functions. Your User number
is assigned to an alarm group and will therefore perform only the functions of that alarm group.
Also, time zones are allotted to each alarm group. this means that the functions of an alarm group can be further controlled
by the time.
Door Groups:
There are at least 10 and up to 128 door groups in your system for controlling access to doors. Each door group is allotted
specific door numbers, and each door number is allotted a time zone during which the door can be accessed by the user.
Your User number is assigned to a door group and will therefore access only the doors of that door group during
the specified timezone/s.
Floor Groups: (relevant to systems with Lift Controllers)
There are at least 10 and up to 64 floor groups in your system. Each door group is allotted specific floor numbers, and
each floor number is allotted a time zone during which the floor can be selected by the user.
Your User number is assigned to a floor group and will therefore access only the floors of that floor group during
the specified timezone/s.
The Challenger can therefore be programmed so that a PIN and/or Card may be used to perform any function or
combination of functions during any time period.
eg.-An alarm group for Managers may allow access to all Challenger user operations at all times.
-An alarm group for a cleaner may only allow their Card to disarm an area for 1 hour between 5pm & 11 pm
-Adoor group for a night shift worker may allow their PIN to be used to open a door
between 11pm and 7am only.
Using a PIN:
When you enter your PIN on The Challenger keypad, each key pressed will be indicated by * on the display.
Input of an incorrect code, or a code/card which is not valid at the particular arming station, will result in 7 quick beeps
from the console.
