Access Keypad
The Access Keypad is installed close to an exit equipped with a Door Controller
to enable staff to bypass the door with a tag without generating an
alarm; or accept an alarm that has occurred at that Door Controller.
The Keypad can be operated in one of two modes. In Mode 1, each user has a
unique PIN code (1000 maximum), entered and managed at a RoamAlert® Server
PC, and cross-loaded into the Door Controller. When a staff member bypasses a
door, or accepts an alarm, the event and the identity of the staff member is recorded
in the database on the Server PC. Mode 2 offers two bypass codes and two alarm
reset codes that are stored in the Keypad itself. In Mode 2, no interaction with the
Door Controller or Server PC is required, but the individual identity of the staff
member performing an action is not captured.
The keypad provides an audible and visual indication of alarm conditions as well
as standby, bypass, and power-on conditions.
When the Door Controller is placed in test mode, the Keypad can also used as a
tuning tool to help adjust the field of coverage.
