Colour zones
with PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK
The user cards and tokens may
be purchased in three colours - green, amber and red. These
colours correspond to the green, amber and red lights which are
on the front of each reader. Green, amber and red Zone cards may
be purchased and these are used to switch these lights on or
off. For example, use the green Zone card to turn off the green
light. use the card again would turn the light back on.
The rule is simple. if the
green light is on, green User cards can open the door. If the
green light is off, the green User cards are not valid. All
doors on a site may be set up to allow access to any combination
of green, amber or red User cards by simply using the
appropriate Zone card once. For the card holder life is very
simple, at any door, they look at the colour of their User card
and if the corresponding light is illuminated on the PROXIMITY
or CARDLOCK reader at the door they will be allowed entry.
Example
of using colour zones with PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK
This example shows how colour
zones can be used to restrict the movement of different groups
of users to certain parts of a building. the readers and cards
could be CARDLOCK or PROXIMITY as both systems work in an
identical way. A squash club is used in this illustration but,
the system can be equally applicable to offices, factories,
colleges, hospitals and most other premises.
At the squash club, Green
user cards are issued to the 370 members. Amber cards are given
to the 5 administration staff. The manager has a red card. All
cards will give access when they are issued in the Admin office
without having to go to each door to enrol them. For
convenience, a few additional spare cards should be purchased.
Only the red zone light is
illuminated on the reader at the Manager's office showing that
only the Manager's red card will be allowed to open this door.
The red and amber lights are illuminated on the reader at the
Admin office door showing that the Managers red card and the
amber cards issued to the Admin staff will open this door.
All the lights are
illuminated at the entry to the squash courts. This means that
all card holders can gain access at this door. The member's
green cards will of course not allow them access to the
manager's or Admin office when the doors are closed.
The zone lights are set by
simply swiping the relevant coloured zone card.
When a member loses their
card or does not pay their renewal fee, one swipe of their
shadow card will stop them from opening the door to the squash
courts.
