Area Interlock Group Assignment
An area interlock group can be assigned to an area to prevent it from being armed or disarmed depending on
the status of all area's within the assigned interlock group.

Loiter Time Setting
The loiter time defines how long a user can remain in a specific loiter enabled area. If the loiter time has elapsed
and the user is still in the area, the user will be denied access when an attempt is made to exit the area. If the
user has not exited the loiter area before the loiter time has elapsed, then the user status must be reset
manually from the operator software or local keypad. For this option to operate, the Loiter Mode options must
be turned on for the user and a loiter area must be programmed. Furthermore, the area requires an entry and
exit reader set with the anti-passback feature to control the user traffic.
AR001 Loiter
time: 00000 mins
To enter a loiter time (00000 to 65535 minutes), use the keypad as explained in section Entering Decimal
Numbers (see page 341) and press [ENTER].
Loiter Area Violation Assignment
The loiter area violation setting is used when a user has violated the loiter configuration for the installation and
must be set to an area that they can not exit or enter from for the loiter area. The setting here is typically an area
that is not used in the system and is defined as being an invalid area.
AR001 Loiter Ar
None
Use the [1] and [3] keys to scroll the loiter violation areas selection and press [ENTER] to select the area
displayed. For more information about the list control data entry refer to the section List Control Data Entry (see
page 344).
Leaving the loiter violation area set to none will allow the user to present their card at a reader that is external to
the area (Such as a parking entrance) and be able to regain another period of loiter time for the area
programmed if the reader is part of the loiter area.
Bell PGM or PGM Group
You can assign a bell/siren PGM or PGM group to activate whenever the area goes in to alarm. The zone that
triggers the alarm must have the bell PGM option enabled for the zone type. The bell/siren PGM and PGM
Group will be deactivated when the bell timer times out or when the area is disarmed, the bell/siren may also be
disarmed when the user logs in to the keypad.
AR001 Bell
pgm: --000:00
To modify the Bell/Siren PGM or PGM Group, use the settings as explained in section Entering PGM and PGM
Groups (see page 345).
