Digital key
Key reader Key readers have 3 LEDs (Red, Green and Amber), and a digital key slot.
Each key reader will be programmed with the following:
-the partitions it can control
-the type of arming assigned to the Amber LED
-the type of arming assigned to the Green LED
Digital Key The digital keys control the arming mode of the partitions. The digital key
must be inserted into the key reader slot. It is possible to scan the 4 con-
figurations of the LEDs (each configuration is assigned to a specific arming
mode) by simply pressing the digital key button. On the Eclipse/Sat model
the button is inside the key reader, therefore, the Sat digital key must be
inserted into the Eclipse key reader slot, and pushed lightly to scan the 4
configurations of the LEDs, and select the arming mode.
Digital keys have a non-volatile memory with a random code selected from
4 billion code combinations.
The Installer can assign a progressive number (1 through 128), and a 16
character Label to each of the 128 digital keys.
Each digital key can be programmed to control specific partitions only.
There are two digital key levels: Service ---- can stop all alarm types; and
Non-service ----can stop alarms on the partitions of the digital key and key
reader in use.
Multiple
Systems Digital keys can valid on more than one system, and can be pro-
grammed to manage different groups of partitions on the different systems.
Arming Mode Options
Digital key in
key reader When a valid digital key is inserted into a key reader, all the signalling de-
vices of the partitions controlled by the digital key and key reader in use
will be stopped. At this point, by pressing the digital key button it will be
possible to scan the 4 configurations of the LEDs. Each configuration is as-
signed to a specific arming mode.
ØGlobal arming: (Red LED ON) all the partitions controlled by the digital key
and key reader in use will be armed.
ØGlobal disarming: (all LEDs OFF) all the partitions controlled by the digital
key and key reader in use will be disarmed.
ØA and B type arming: (Amber or Green ON) all the partitions controlled by
the digital key and key reader in use will be armed or disarmed as config-
ured during programming.
ØStop alarm: all signalling devices, connected to the alarm outputs of the
partitions controlled by the digital key and key reader in use will be forced
into standby status.
The selected arming mode (indicated by the configuration on the key
reader) will be activated when the digital key is extracted.
