Only those Access Cards that have been designated as Limited Use Cards may be programmed for limited use (see
page 10). Access Cards in Time Zones “0” or “1” may not be programmed for limited use. Changing the Time Zone of
an Access Card will have no effect on its limited use status except that an Access Card programmed into Time Zones
“0” or “1” will be deleted from limited use.
Limited use restrictions may be set for either limited number of uses, limited number of days from “now”, limited
number of weeks from “now”, limited number of days from first use, use counter, or no limited use restrictions. Any
Access Card within the block of cards configured for limited use may be set to have one of these limited use
functions, each with its own number of days, or uses as described below.
Limited number of Uses
Number of uses may be set to from 1 to 500. Each time access is granted, the number of uses is reduced by one until
there are no uses left. At this point, further access will be denied until more uses are programmed. Access Cards are
still subject to Time Zone restrictions.
Limited number of days
The number of days that the Access Card will be granted access (up to 500) may be set when this limited uses option
is selected. Each day the number of days counter will be reduced by one until no days are left. At this point the
Access Card will be denied further access until more days are programmed. Time Zone restrictions must also be met
for access to be granted.
Limited number of weeks
The number of weeks that the Access Card will be granted access (up to 500) may be set when this limited uses
option is selected. Each week the number of weeks counter will be reduced by one until no weeks are left. At this
point the Access Card will be denied further access until more weeks are programmed. Time Zone restrictions must
also be met for access to be granted.
Limited number of days From First Use
This Limited Use option is similar to the limited number of day’s selection, except that the number of days of access
(up to 500) is counted from the day the Access Card is first granted access.
Count number of Uses
This selection does not actually restrict access but counts how many time access has been granted. Therefore,
no number of days or uses are entered. Selecting this choice for a card merely resets the counter to 0. Each time
access is granted, the counter is incremented by one. The number of access granted may be viewed using the Status
Menu. The counter can only count to 500. If more than 500 accesses have been granted since the counter was last
reset, the status report will indicate “>500”.
no Limited Use
This option is used to remove any of the above limited use settings. To program Access Cards for Limited Use, choose
2 (Cards) from the Main Menu. Then select 2 (Program Limited Use Cards) followed by the Limited Use selection from
the Limited Use Menu and enter the required number and the first and last card numbers for the range of cards to be
programmed.
