User identification

All users of the Advisor MASTER system need PIN codes and/or cards. The PIN code has between four and
nine digits and is unique for each user. It is a combination of numbers between 0 and 9.
The PIN code and/or a card are programmed to let a user do specific tasks, such as arm or disarm the system.
The following three features are used to group functions together and consequently determine which functions
a user can access.
The Advisor MASTER system combines options for alarm and access control. Alarm control provides options
to monitor zones and determine if an alarm should occur when an intruder is detected (depending if the area
the zone is assigned to is armed or disarmed). Access control provides options to monitor and control access to
(parts) of the premises.
Timezones
Timezones are a set of rules based on time and date that are used to provide or prohibit options at certain
moments. Timezones can be disabled or enabled during holidays. The programming for timezones is done by
the installer. Timezones can be assigned to alarm groups, door groups and floor groups.
Alarm groups
Alarm groups contain options available to control the alarm system and perform functions.
There are 72 and up to 138 alarm groups and each one is assigned specific areas and a specific set of functions.
Your user number is assigned to an alarm group and therefore performs only the functions of that alarm group.
Also, timezones are allocated to each alarm group. This means that the functions of an alarm group can be
further controlled by the time and/or the date.
Door groups
Door groups contain options available to gain access to the premises by controlling doors.
There are at least 10 and up to 128 door groups in your system for controlling access to doors. Each door
group is allocated specific door numbers, and each door number is allotted a timezone during which you can
access the door.
Your user number is assigned to a door group and will therefore access only the doors of that door group
during the specified timezones.
Floor groups (relevant to systems with lift controllers)
Floor groups contain options available to gain access to floors by controlling lifts.
There are at least 10 and up to 64 floor groups in your system. Each door group is allocated specific floor
numbers, and each floor number is allocated a timezone during which the user can select a floor.
Each user number is assigned to a floor group and will therefore access only the floors of that floor group
during the specified timezones.
The Advisor MASTER can therefore be programmed so that a PIN code and/or card can be used to perform
any function or combination of functions during any time period.
For example:
•
An alarm group for Managers can allow access to all Advisor MASTER user operations at all
times.
•
An alarm group for a cleaner can only allow their card to disarm an area for 1 hour between
17:00 and 23:00.
