Concord 4 Series Security Systems21 Example 1 of One Day Rollover At home you’d like the Latchkey Opening feature to be effective from 10 p.m. on Tuesday until 5 a.m. on Wednesday (see Figure 8 Example 1). By taking advantage of One Day Rollover, one time schedule can cover both days. (That sched- ule is illustrated in Figure 8.) Notice how the stop time is within 24 hours of the start time. The system knows to apply the stop time to the next day (5 a.m. on Wednesday). Example 2 of One Day Rollover Building on Example 1, let’s say that you’d like the Latchkey Opening feature to be effective between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., Monday through Friday (ending Saturday morning). By simply applying the start and stop times to each day, one time schedule can cover the entire week (see Figure 8 Example 2). Multiple Day Rollover The simplest method for defining a window of time that spans multiple days is to use 99:99 to signify an open start or stop time. Example of Multiple Day Rollover At your business you’d like specific lights to remain lit from Friday afternoon through the week- end, until Monday morning. In this situation, the lights need to be scheduled to roll over until they reach a recognizable stop time. In the Figure 8 Example 3, Schedule Y is set up to begin at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Since the stop time is 99:99, the lights will remain lit (roll over) until a recognizable stop time is reached. Schedule Z is set up with an undefined start time (99:99), so if the lights were already lit, they will remain lit until the Schedule Z stop time is reached at 5 a.m. Figure 8. Time Schedule Rollover Examples Attaching Time Schedules For any schedule to be effective, it needs to be attached to a feature. One schedule can be attached to more than one feature event. • See “Advanced Light Control” for information on attaching time schedules for light control. • See “Controlling Outputs By Time Schedule” for information on attaching time schedules to outputs. • See “Schedule Arming” for information on attaching schedules to Arming. !! # $! %! $ & & & & & & ( & Example 1 !! # $! %! $ & & ( & & & & & Example 2 !! ) $! %! $ & & & & & & & ( !! * & & & & & & & Example 3

Time Schedules and Partitions Once a schedule is attached to a feature event in one partition, that schedule becomes unavailable to the other partitions. This prevents the situation where one partition changes a time schedule that inadvertently affects other partitions. Advanced Light ControlYou can control system lights from any touchpad, as discussed in “Basic Light Control”. There are other lighting options that you or your installer can set up, including: • Turning lights on and off according to a time schedule. • Turning lights on after system arming for the duration of the Exit Delay. • Turning lights on for the duration of the Entry Delay so you have enough light to see your way to the touchpad to disarm the system. • Flashing lights on and off upon successful arming and disarming. Controlling Lights By Time Schedule Lights can be turned on according to time schedules. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your lighting needs, see “Creating Time Schedules”.

Enter the sensor number (1–96 for Concord 4, 1-32 for Concord Express V4) you wish to activate the light and press #. 5. Press B to assign another light to a sensor or press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems25 What Will the Pager Report? For Latchkey Opening Reports, the page reports the arming level as 111 (1—OFF) and the user. For Latchkey Closing Reports, the page reports the arming level as 222 (2—STAY) or 333 (3— AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See “Notification By Pager”. Latchkey Opening The installer can set up Latchkey Opening for one of two types of use: Basic and Advanced. Basic Latchkey Opening If your system is set up for Basic Latchkey, there are two ways to send a Latchkey Opening page: Based on Time Schedule Only 1. Assign the Latchkey Opening feature a time schedule. (This needs to be done only once.) 2. Arm the system. 3. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time schedule, sends an Opening page. Based on Latchkey Modifier 6 Only 1. Arm the system, then press 6, or press the Lock button on a keychain touchpad after arming to 3—AWAY. 2. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user sends an Opening page, regardless of assigned time schedule: Advanced Latchkey Opening If your system is set up for Advanced Latchkey use, there is one way to send a Latchkey Opening page: 1. Assign the Latchkey Opening feature a time schedule. (This needs to be done only once.) 2. Arm the system, then press 6, or press the Lock button on a keychain touchpad after arming to 3—AWAY. 3. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time schedule, sends an Opening page: In Advanced Latchkey use, paging is available only during the time schedule(s) that you assign to it. Latchkey Closing Latchkey Closing can be used alone, or in addition to Latchkey Opening. 1. Assign the Latchkey Closing feature a time schedule. 2. The system is disarmed. 3. Arming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time, schedule sends a Closing page: A Touchtone phone can be used to set up Latchkey paging, but touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See “Appendix C” for touchpad and phone programming instructions. Assigning a Time Schedule to Latchkey Paging Follow these steps to attach a time schedule to Latchkey Opening and/or Latchkey Closing. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your needs, see “Creating Time Sched- ules”.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems27 Who Can Send a Page? All user codes and keychain touchpads will send a page if used while Notify by Exception fea- ture is in effect. What Will the Pager Report? Exception Opening Reports report the arming level as 111 (1—OFF) and the user that disarmed the system. Exception Closing Reports report the arming level as 222 (2—STAY) or 333 (3—AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See “Notification By Pager”. When Will this Feature Be Active? The most typical setup of this feature makes use of both Exception Opening and Exception Clos- ing. (It is possible to use only Exception Opening or only Exception Closing, however.) Assigning a Time Schedule to Exception Opening and Closing Follow these steps to define Opening and Closing schedules for Exception paging. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your needs, see “Creating Time Schedules”. A Touchtone phone can be used to set up Notify by Exception, but touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See “Appendix C” for programming instructions.

Or, Press the number of any partitions you don’t want disarmed (the partition numbers disappear from the display), then press #. 4. If desired, press 4 (No Delay) or 6 (Latchkey) to activate those features. Notes on Arming/Disarming Multiple Partitions from Alphanumeric and Fixed Display Touchpads • A partition cannot be armed or disarmed if it is being controlled by another source at that time. For example, if you are at a Partition 1 touchpad and are attempting to arm Partitions 1 and 2, a Partition 2 touchpad in use at that same time prevents arming of that partition. • Any arming modifiers (4—No Delay, 6—Latchkey) selected at arming apply to all associated partitions. However, silent arming (5—Silent) only affects the partition you are arming from. All other partitions sound exit beeps to notify occupants that those partitions are arming. • When arming multiple partitions, any conditions that prevent arming (open, trouble, active alarm, etc.) are identified on system touchpad displays with the affected partition number flashing. (If arming from a keychain touchpad, the condition is displayed on touchpad dis- plays in the affected partition, while other touchpad displays show PROTEST). The normal protest/auto force arm sequence follows, or you can press * to cancel the arming request. • When disarming multiple partitions, any partitions in alarm have the affected partition num- ber flashing on system touchpad displays. Pressing # cancels all alarms in the associated par- titions. Alarm memory information is then displayed for all canceled alarms.
