Counting

(

 V4.20)

These selections pertain to monitoring the number of
people (or vehicles, etc.) in an area at any one time (per
access-granted), and whether or not the area can be
armed with persons still listed as being in the area.

User Counter

- Maximum: (0 - 16383) The maximum number

of users/vehicles allowed in an area before its
status will be "full".

Tip: This can be used to trigger an output (e.g.,
"Parking Lot Full" sign).

Minimum: (0 - 15) The number of users that

can be present with the area still being
considered 'empty'';

Count Mode: The method for counting users in

the area.

Normal: Area entering = +1, area leaving = -1.
Special (APB-based): Area entering = +1, last known
area = -1.
(Exception: Same as 'Normal' for "Timed APB" once
the timer expires.)
Blind Count: Counts each time a card/token is
accepted—even if you end up 'badging' more than
once.

Warning Level on Arm: Whether a person

trying to arm this area when it isn't listed as
"Empty" will only be warned, or whether arming
will be blocked altogether (manually vs. any
method);

User Counter Reset

These settings allow the user-count for a scheduled
area to be reset (to zero) automatically under certain
conditions.

Reset before 'in schedule': This resets the

area user-count automatically at a relative time
of day (a specified number of hours before the
beginning of the area's schedule);

Reset on Disarm to OFF: Whether or not the

area user-count will be reset automatically
whenever the area is disarmed to "Off";

Reset on arm to ON: Whether or not the area

user-count will be reset automatically whenever
the area is armed to "On".

Activity Monitoring and Auto-
Arming

General Operation

Activity monitoring can be set to transmit an
alarm and/or arm areas automatically when
activity is not detected for a specific length of
time. Per the operator's selections, this
automated arming can:

+ Be triggered by "No Activity", and/or; "User

Count

 a preset minimum value" remaining in

effect for a set duration (timeout value).

+ Pertain to inputs set as "Activity Monitor"

custom points, sensors on the entry/exit route,
and/or door openings.

+ Arm to ON or Stay
+ Occur with or without an optional configurable

delay time before arming
(to allow users additional time to either trigger
activity, or leave the area)

+ Can operate either any time, or only outside of

an Arm/Disarm schedule selected on the
"Scheduling" tab for the specific area (if
applicable).

Tip: The arming level(s) for which an Activity
Monitor input point will monitor activity is
determined by the "Level" setting for the
Custom Point Type (Off, Off/Stay, or "Always").
(The rest of the time, the point(s) will be treated
as a standard point (Burg., supervisory, etc.--
per selections for the custom point type).
