Card/PIN: "Card or PIN" means "Card-Only, or User-
ID+PIN". With "Card+PIN", the card must be 
presented (does not allow UID+PIN). 
Manual Disarming
: For an armed area that is NOT set 
to 'Auto Disarm on Valid Token', the user will also 
have to access the alarm system and disarm the area. 
For details on the "Auto-Disarm" feature, refer to 
"Areas and Related Settings". 
Reader Mode 
- Schedule, and In / Out of schedule: These 
settings specify whether one user can enter, 
or if a second valid user (or designated 
'escort') will be required to enter their 
Card/PIN as well. If scheduled, different entry 
requirements can be selected for when the 
schedule is active versus outside of the 
chosen schedule. 
Toggle Lock/Unlock (all vs. authorized) V4.4: 
Causes the door to toggle from locked to unlocked (or 
vice-versa) when a card is accepted at this reader. 
"All" means it will work for any valid card. "Authorized" 
means this will work only for users with 'Door Control' 
authority. 
With "Dual Custody
", two different users must present 
their card and/or PIN (and neither of them can be set 
as "Visitor--Escort Required"). 
When set to "Escort
", a valid 'escort' can also enter on 
their own by presenting their card/PIN twice. If visitor 
cards (set to require an escort) are presented, visitor
escort processing will take over (e.g., with visitor 
processing, you can set the type of cards escorts can 
use). Users are defined as escorts (escort privilege) 
through their authority assignments.

then "Escort-Required Mode". 
  Dual custody is also supported pertaining to the 
disarming of an area. For details, refer to "Areas 
and Related Settings". 
Lockout 
- Schedule / Mode: These settings specify 
whether all users are to be denied entry either 
while a selected schedule is active, or outside 
of the chosen schedule. Tip: To disable this 
feature, select "None" for the schedule. 
Users with 'Master Override' authority can enter while 
a 'lockout' is in effect. For details refer to the "Master 
Override" setting under "Authorities for 
Users/Entrants". 
Miscellaneous 
- Arming Station: Select this to identify an 
"arming station". 
An arming station includes a Wiegand reader with 
keypad, and supports additional functions for arming 
and disarming areas, adjusting the area closing time 
(worklate), etc. For details, refer to the User's Guide 
for your xL system (panel/LCD keypad). 
Note: Arming-station wiring differs from other readers 
(ensure the proper installation instructions have been 
followed). 
- Enable Class Checking: 
Selected (): This selection is required if user-
access to this reader is to be controlled based on time 
of day and/or door class. See [Class Map] to 
follow/below. Not Selected
: Provides 24-hr 
access/egress to all valid cards regardless of the 
users' assigned schedule and door class authorities. 
[Class Map] 
- Schedule, In / Out of schedule, and Class 
A/B/C: These settings allow restricting 
access to only the users with specific door-
class authority, and/or optionally blocking 
after-hours access to this specific reader 
(except users with 'Master Override' 
authority). If scheduled, a different set of 
door-class requirements can be selected for 
when the schedule is active versus outside of 
the chosen schedule. 
To block after-hours access to this reader, select "Out 
of Schedule" None. To remove class restrictions at 
this reader (without bypassing each user's assigned 
schedule), select A, B, C for both "In Schedule" 
and "Out of Schedule".
