Enter Card # by Keypad
The Enter Card # by Keypad allows the cardholder to enter their card number by using the 
keypad. The number of digits set in this field represents the number of digits that are 
required for a card number to be considered complete. For example, if the card number is 4 
digits (0000 - 9999) or less, the field should be set at 4 digits. A cardholder whose card 
number is less than required number must enter leading zeros, or can use the * key (for 
example, if the card number is 0032, you can enter 32*). The * key is only used for leading 
zeros, not trailing zeros, for example, it is not required for 3200.
The possible options are 4 Digits, 5 Digits, and 6 Digits. The default is Disabled.
Extend Held Open on REX
Select this option if you want the Held Open Timer to automatically extend for as long as 
the Request to Exit (REX) input is activated. The Held Open timer does not start counting 
until the REX is released. Select the feature by clicking on the box placing a check mark in 
it.
If not selected the Held Open Timer starts counting as soon as the door opens, and the 
timer expires even if the REX stays activated with the door open. At the end of the time, an 
alarm would be generated.
Relock Door
Relock Door
• After Door Opening – Select if you want the door to be relocked as soon as the door
opens.
• After Door Closes – Select if you want the door to relock only after the door closes.
This option (if selected) keeps the door locked even after the set lock time and only 
relocks the door after the door is closed. This option is used for dead bolt and other 
similar type locks.
• Relock Door on Strike Timeout - Select if you want the door to remain unlocked (even
if the door is still open) until the strike timer expires. The door cycle also ends at that 
time. End of cycle means that alarms are immediately enabled, including the 'forced 
open' alarm for doors with a door contact.
Note: If the door is monitored by an alarm contact, and the reader is set for 'Overlapped
Access', and is open at the end of the door strike timer, then the 'Held Open' time 
is used to end the door cycle, and a new card read re-fires the door strike and 
restarts the timers. 
Magnetic Bond Sensor
Select this option when you want the third alarm point connection to work with some type of 
latch monitor sensor such as a magnetic Lock. When selected, alarm point number Z02 is 
wired to the latch monitor. When not selected it may be used as a normal alarm point.
Workstation for Reports
Select from the drop-down list the server or Workstation to which the reports from the 
reader is sent.
Note: Click the link arrow to set up an additional Workstation. When setup has been
completed, close the window by clicking Save.
Overlapped Access
Normally after an access is granted, the system must see the door closed before the reader 
resets for the next cardholder. When this option is selected by placing a checkmark in the 
box, the reader resets immediately after the first access request is made by a cardholder, 
allowing the next cardholder to access the reader without closing the door.
For this feature to work properly, a door contact switch should be installed and connected to 
the system to monitor the condition of the door.
Description
Enter the description of the reader, up to 50 alphanumeric characters. This could describe 
the location and area the reader protects.
