Modes 1 and 2 will only allow bypass when the field is cleared of Tags and the user enters a sequence
of key presses on the RBC. Modes 3 and 4 and modes 5 and 6 are for Keypad entry. Pinpad can be used
with any of the modes.
3. ID Range
This field is defined by the “ID Range” rotary switch on the Controller. It determines which Tags will
trigger the TIF alarm (“bad” Tags) and which will be ignored (“good” Tags).
For options 2 – D, “High_ID” and “Low_ID” rotary switches are used to determine range in which
Tags are active. When one of these options is chosen, this field (ID Range rotary switch) selects which
digit of Tag’s 6 digit ID number is making selection. Tag’s ID number is organized as ABCDEF where
each character represents one digit of the ID number.
Possible settings are presented in Table 4.
