User`s guide
198  Guardall Director V4.74 User's Guide  21-0381E v4.7.4 
This setting is used with high-security areas--such as 
a cash room. With this setting, persons who do not 
'badge out' of the area will be denied access to all 
areas--even at readers not set for antipassback
. 
Without "Strict APB", persons who do not 'badge out' 
of APB-controlled areas will only be blocked against 
re-entering their last known area, or re-entering the 
facility from 'outside' (see next setting). 
- Ignore Outside to Inside Area Check: This 
setting causes readers (that are set to "Detect 
Antipassback") to allow entry from outside for 
persons who did not 'badge out' of the facility. 
Tip: This is typically for a parking garage 'area' 
without an exit reader.
This does not override other APB conditions. The 
area being entered cannot be their last known area 
("APB auto-reset" will override this--see next setting), 
and they must still 'badge out' of any areas that are set 
for "Strict APB Enforcement" (see previous setting). 
- Auto-Reset: This allows selecting whether APB 
checking will be on-going, or for a set duration 
only
 (see details). 
None: Antipassback restrictions will be enforced on a 
continual basis; 
xx Min/Hrs
: The antipassback restriction will be limited 
to a fixed period of time after each person is granted 
access to a specific area. (Each user's APB status will 
be reset, avoiding undesired 'APB violations'.) 
APB Auto-Reset (especially of short duration) is not
recommended with Time and Attendance reporting 
applications (including "Roll-Call"). 
Antipassback must also be enabled for each specific 
reader. To do this, refer to "Reader 1 & 2 Settings for 
a Door" ("Detect Antipassback" selection). 
The antipassback status can be reset for a specific 
user, or for all users in a specific area (to allow their 
next entry or exit regardless of their previous APB 
status). For details, refer to "Resetting Users' 
Antipassback Status", and/or "Resetting the 
Antipassback Status for Users in a Specific Area" in 
the Control & Status Chapter. 
 Scheduling  
Arm/Disarm Scheduling 
- Schedule: The open/close schedule to be 
associated with this area (or ‘none’). At the 
scheduled 'closing' time, area keypads will beep 
to remind staff to either arm the area and exit, or 
delay the closing time (worklate). If neither of 
these actions occur, an alarm can be 
transmitted, and/or the area can be armed 
automatically (as per settings to follow). 
Tip: Pause the mouse cursor over a schedule in the 
list to see the settings for that schedule. 
To define a schedule, refer to "Schedules for User 
Access and Area Automation". 
A programmable output can be set to signal when the 
area closing time is approaching. For details, refer to 
"Programmable Outputs". 
- In Schedule: The length of time before the area 
will automatically 're-close' after being disarmed 
inside of the schedule. This allows limiting the 
time that authorized users can remain in the 
area during the schedule (e.g., cash machines, 
vaults, etc.). 
- Out of Schedule: The length of time before the 
area will automatically 're-close' after an 
'emergency off' is performed 
(i.e., being disarmed outside of the schedule). 
This limits the time that an "Emergency Off" can 
remain in effect. 
- Work Late Input: When someone presses a 
work-late button in this area (during the 'pre-arm 
cycle), the scheduled closing time with be set
 as 
{value selected here} from the present time. 
Note: A worklate button is a custom input point with 
its 'pre-process' set as "Worklate". To define a 'work 
late' input-point, refer to "Input Points—Custom Point 
Types", and "Input Points—Monitored Sensors". 
- Limit Work Late to Midnight: User's ability to 
'Work Late' (i.e., override the scheduled 'Close' 
time) for this area will be limited to not extend 
beyond midnight. 
- Auto Arm on Fail to Close: The area will auto-
arm at the scheduled closing time. This cannot 
be used in conjunction with 'Stay on Fail to Exit' 
(described above). 
- Transmit Fail to Close: Transmit a "Fail-to-
Close" to the monitoring station if the area has 
not been armed at the scheduled closing time. 
------------------------- 
- Always auto disarm to Off (Blind)
 (V4.4): 
When the area's schedule becomes active (e.g., 
start of workday), the area will fully disarm to Off 
automatically. If not selected, the area will 
remain armed until it is disarmed either 
manually, or when someone is granted entry 
(auto-disarm on valid token). 
Split-Shift: If the area's schedule contains two or more 
separate time intervals, the area will disarm at the 
beginning of each time interval.

notes pertaining to "Auto-disarm on valid token..." (on
