Creating a custom-usage schedule
Most schedules control access rights, door unlock and door override. A custom-usage schedule expands the capabilities of the
system.
An example of when you may want to use a custom-usage schedule is in the case where you want to set up a schedule that automatically
arms and disarms an intrusion zone. You could name the usage “Intrusion.” You may set the true state to armed, and the false state to disarmed. Make the default state
true. Now you can easily schedule your intrusion zone to disarm during occupied periods.
Perform the following steps:
- From the main menu, click .The Schedules view opens.
- Start a new schedule by clicking the Add button (
).The Add A New Schedule window opens.
- Click the
Customoption and click Ok.The Choose a Usage... window opens.
- Use the string chooser to select the component with which to associate the schedule, and click Ok.The Choose Default True/False Text... window opens.
- Define what you want to appear when the condition is true, and what should appear when it is false and click Ok.The Add New Schedule view opens.
- Configure the
StartandFinishtimes and drag the cursor to fill in each day.Notice that the true and false text you defined appears in theOutputproperty drop-down list.
