Detail Programming Residences Continued
As always, you must be in programming mode to issue programming commands.
Residential Time Zone Codes:
Each resident may be assigned a Time Zone restriction if this zoning option is available.
To decide if your unit supports Resident Zone Codes use the view command *#1.
Look for "RES ZONE=Y" or "RES ZONE=N". Y=yes and N=no of course.
If the answer is "No" then there is nothing to concern yourself with. If the answer is
"Yes" then there are some simple rules to become familiar with.
If the Zone is left blank or set to the value "00", then no time zone rules are applied to
this resident. If their zone has a non-zero value assigned then time zone restrictions are
applied to every aspect of their ability to grant or gain entry.
Setting or Changing Residential Time Zone Codes:
Use command:
#1 999*25# This assigns resident 999 as Time Zone 25.
#1 999*00# This assigns resident 999 as Time Zone 00. (no time zone resrictions)
To learn more about Time Zones, review the section on Detail Programming Time Zones.
Detail Programming System Clock
This unit employs an accurate digital clock that includes Year, Month, Date and Day of the
week. As per ISO-8601 standards, the 1st day of the week is Monday. This plays a key roll
if you have time zone restrictions enabled, as one can then restrict access based on the
day of the week. The clock will continue accurate time keeping without system power for
about 4 days. After that, the clock will need to be set. This unit doesn't use clock
batteries as they eventually fail someday and are expensive. The clock itself employs 24
hour military standard time keeping. This eliminates confusion regarding AM and PM
settings.
The day begins at midnight at 00:00 (Hours:Minutes) rather than 12:00 AM.
The day ends before midnight at 23:59 (Hours:Minutes) rather than 11:59 PM.
00:00 is midnight (12:00 AM)
02:00 is two o'clock (2:00 AM)
12:00 is noon (12:00 PM)
18:00 is six o'clock (6:00 PM)
View the Clock via unit display by going into programming mode and use command:
*#3 Display current time as Year/Month/Date, Hours:Minutes, Day-week, Seconds
Set the Clock using this command while in programming mode:
#3 YY*MM*DD*HH*mm*D# As Year/Month/Date, Hours:minutes, Day-week, Terminate command.
#3 10*01*02*23*30*1# As Year=10, Month=Jan, Date=2nd, Hours=23, Minutes=30, Day=Monday
Leap year is automatically adjusted for and Daylight Savings time is computed and
automatically adjusted for if Time Zones are enabled. Time Zones 98 and 99 are dedicated
to Daylight Savings Time. This DST is calculated when the year changes. The DST rules
observed are based on the previous years rules deduced from the settings in the Time Zone
database. If the rules change then set Time Zones 98 and 99 to match the new rules and the
new rules will be applied automatically from then on. See Time Zoning for greater details.
