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).
