VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 11

 MONITOR xL™ Total Integrated Platform

Definitions
Here are some useful definitions to help you understand the fundamental design concepts
that drive the MONITOR xL™ line.

Area
Sometimes known as a partition or sector. In an industrial building, the offices might be
designated as one area, and the plant as the second area. MONITOR xL™ is based on
areas and all intrusion points, outputs and doors have to be assigned to one, or more,
areas. There are 16 areas available per panel.

Intrusion point
Intrusion or input points are the input devices used to feed information to the MONITOR
xL™ system. A typical intrusion point might be a door contact or PIR motion detector.
When the sensor is activated, MONITOR xL™ receives the information and uses it to
take the appropriate action (fire an output, such as an alarm, page somebody, dial the
central station, etc.). There are 256 inputs per panel.

Output
They are used to trigger or interface with other devices, based on a command from the
MONITOR xL™ panel. Typically, outputs trigger sirens, turn lights on or off, lower the
heat, etc. There are 128 outputs per panel.

Account
An account corresponds to the use of a single database to control one or more MONITOR
xL™ control panels so that they can share information such as users, schedules, authority
levels, etc. You may have up to 64,000 users on one account. Using the Enterprise
Director software, you may run as many accounts as you need (eg, if you are using the
system to run several condominium buildings with no common users).

12 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

MONITOR xL™ Installation Configurations (Centralized vs. Distributed)

The MONITOR xL™ system is a highly flexible system when it comes to installation and
it will suit any building or site.

There are two main installation configuration styles being used by installers: centralized
or distributed. The following examples are extreme illustrations of these styles. Most sites
will follow one general style, but have elements of the other.

Note: A site visit is crucial in determining which style you will use and how to quote the
MONITOR xL™ system.

Intrusion-Only Systems

Intrusion-only systems are typically distributed, which means that the LCD keypads,
point expanders, and wireless module devices will be mounted fairly close to the devices
they control (door/window sensors, PIR motion detectors, etc.)

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 13

 Centralized Access Control Installation

This is used mainly in North America. The control panel and most of the modules
(particularly door controllers) are installed in a centrally located utility room. RS 485 bus
wire runs tend to be shorter, while module device wire runs are longer.

Advantages: Troubleshooting is easier as all devices are in one single location

Power management is easier as all devices are in one single location.
Disadvantages: More expensive to wire (individual wires have to be run from the
utility room to each sensor, reader, door strike or magnetic lock).

Note:

Distributed Access Control Installation

This is used mainly in Europe. The control panel will typically be in a centrally located
room, while the modules will be installed close to doors, windows, and other features that
are being controlled or protected. RS 485 bus wire runs tend to be longer, while module
device wire runs are shorter.

Advantages: Less expensive to wire as the RS 485 is run to where the modules are
and the wires to the sensors, readers or door strikes are short.
Disadvantages: More difficult to trouble shoot as the devices are further apart.
Power management is more expensive as devices are scattered
throughout the facility.

14 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

Hybrid Intrusion and Access Control Installation

Mixing intrusion and access control will result in a hybrid of the above installation types.
Typically, in North America you will have centralized access control and distributed
intrusion modules. In Europe, all modules will be distributed.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 15

 System Capabilities: Prime or Enterprise?

The MONITOR xL™ system uses the same control panel for all applications.

The MONITOR xL™ hardware platform is based on a main control panel that can be
expanded through plug-in modular boards.

Regardless of which level is chosen MONITOR xL™ always shares the same hardware
modules and peripherals.

Entry Level and Prime target the small one-site intrusion and/or access
control market

The Entry level system is an intrusion-only platform that features 12 points on the
motherboard, and 4 additional points on the keypad, for a total of 16 points out of the
box. It also supports 300 users.

These can be expanded up to 256 points using point expanders, and you have a wide
choice of communications means, including PSTN, ISDN and TCP/IP. Supervised
subscriber terminal units (STU) are also available as plug-on modules.

With the addition of a Feature Expansion Board (FEB), the Entry level system can be
turned into an access control system. The system is designed for one-site applications
with a maximum of 256 inputs, 1,000 users and 16 doors of access control.

The Prime Director software package can be connected to both the Entry level system, or
to the Expanded Base system and will provide access to a single site. Prime can be
upgraded to Enterprise which provides additional features.

Prime systems can be remotely dialled up in order to diagnose the system, troubleshoot it,
and download or backup the user’s database. The remote connection also allows the
authorized user to configure the system and to remotely retrieve reports, system status
and other information.

All Entry level and expanded systems can be completely configured and managed using
the LCD keypad, even for access control applications. It can also be managed through the
Director software, which can be added at any time to the system. The Director software
also allows the user to generate detailed reports.

Enterprise covers the medium to large-size applications.

The Enterprise level uses the same hardware as that of the entry level and Prime systems
and can be easily upgraded.

Panels can be networked locally, via an RS485 connection (up to 30 panels). An external
modem can connect up to 60 panels to a remote site.

Enterprise can accommodate up to 15,380 inputs against 256 for Prime, 64,000 users (vs.
300 or 1,000 for Prime), and 1,920 doors (vs. 16 for Prime and none for entry level).

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 17

 Upgrading from Prime to Enterprise is seamless and does not require
hardware changes

Because both systems share the same hardware, database and programming, upgrading
from Entry level to Prime to Enterprise is seamless and requires no hardware changes.

Upgrades can be effected at any time, regardless of the version or level you have
installed.

Backward compatibility guarantee

VEREX guarantees backward compatibility of its hardware with previous versions of the
INOVA family of door controllers. Please enquire with your local reseller for further
details.

All MONITOR ISM™ door controllers can be connected directly to the MONITOR xL™
platform. The new flash utility available in Director v 4.4 and onward allows you to
remotely manage all firmware versions, thereby eliminating any problems.

Our current upgrade packages feature the following existing door controllers (used with
our INOVA® PC, INOVA® Master for Windows and INOVA® Central Manager
systems):

• PDC controllers
• T2K controllers
• T10K controllers
• INOVA Plus
• C2000 and Point Mux

Please note that our older controllers worked at a lower data transmission speed than
MONITOR xL™. The new control panel automatically detects the speed at which
peripheral modules communicate and adapts the RS485’s bus speed to this. This means
that you can only control 10 modules of the older lines.

In the case of existing INOVA Plus single door controllers, a new MONITOR xL™
control panel will only control 10 doors, instead of 16 or 32 (Prime or Enterprise). The
limit is 20 doors with T2K or T10K units. To control additional doors, simply add
more MONITOR xL™ control panels.

We also strive to provide you with equipment to update or recuperate as much as possible
from our older product systems, such as the 7900 or Prism+. The RS485 repeater-
multiplexer allows you to reproduce one of our old Star Couplers and therefore reuse the
wiring already in place.

Components

The MONITOR xL™ system consists of a control panel, and modules (including a
keypad). The system connects to a PCs RS 232 serial port directly or for longer distances
with a RS 485 adaptor or modem. The control panel’s on-board modem allows for direct
central station monitoring, as well as 4 to 12 pager outputs.

You can also use an arming station as a regular reader. Keypad readers and arming
stations are also used to enhance security by giving users a cost effective card + PIN
solution.

V-Bus

V-Bus is an internal communication bus designed to work with xL series modules that
support it. It allows you to connect several expansion modules that will increase your xL
system’s capacity, as well as functionality.

The V-Bus is not intended for external use and must be used within a protected enclosure.
A number of V-Bus modules can be connected together within an enclosure. Please see
next section for further details.

• V-Bus modules communicate with the main controller using the Module Bus
(SNAPP) and with each other using the V-Bus.
• V-Bus modules allow the system to be expanded without adding modules on the
main Module Bus (SNAPP).

Point expanders

The MONITOR xL™ line now features two types of point expanders. These are used to
add extra inputs and outputs to the system beyond the first 12 points included on the main
control panel board.

Standard Input/Output Modules

120-8108 8 input/10 output point expander with LED annunciation (plastic enclosure)
120-8109 8 input/2 output point expander (plastic enclosure)

Enhanced I/O expansion modules offer additional features over the standard version, such
as:
• Customisable end-of-line circuit supervision
• Remote diagnostics (required for EN 50131 compliance)

The new I/O expanders feature a modular architecture, enabling you to build up any
combination of options you may need. You always start with a 16/2 expander in a metal
enclosure (120-3646), and then expand it with the optional boards. These boards are
connected to the 16/2 base board through the V-Bus connection illustrated below.

Expanders in plastic enclosures can not be

expanded, including model 120-3645

The point expanders are used to add monitored input points (intrusion, fire or process
control) and output points to the MONITOR xL™ system beyond the 12 base input and 2
base relay output points on the panel’s motherboard.

Intelligent Power Supplies

The MONITOR xL™ main control panel provides power to the RS485 bus which is
sufficient to feed the first few modules, such as keypads or point expanders. However, for
larger systems or power-hungry detection devices powered by the bus, you may need to
add additional power supplies. The Intelligent Power Supply units (IPSU) are used to
provide this extra power. All units are fully addressable and are fully supervised by the

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 33

 main control panel. Alarms are generated whenever an IPSU stops supplying power, falls
over to its battery in case of AC failure, or its back-up battery is low or not present.

Intelligent Power Supply Units

120-3650 Intelligent Power Supply Unit in metal enclosure (up to 17 Ah battery)
120-3651 Intelligent Power Supply Unit in metal enclosure and 220V transformer (up to 17 Ah
battery)
120-3652 Intelligent Power Supply Unit in metal enclosure and 220V transformer (up to 24 Ah
battery)

The intelligent power supply provides 1.4A at 12VDC of auxiliary power and is capable
of charging all batteries up to 24Ah. This power supply features remote diagnostic
functions, such as:

• AC/DC voltage monitoring

• Dynamic battery load test
• Exception and trouble reporting
• EN 50131 compliance (necessary in European Union installations)

The IPSU cabinet can be expanded by adding up to two additional IPSU boards, or by
adding a 16/2 input expander board.

Please refer to the Power Management section for electrical load calculations,

Power Pack (100-5660)

A power pack is a pre-wired power supply mounted in a metal cabinet that allows you to
add more power to your MONITOR xL security system. The PowerPack provides 2.5 A
of auxiliary power to your system and can be connected anywhere on the RS 485 bus.
The small metal housing provides room for a 7 Ah battery.

34 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

The PowerPack is not an addressable, supervised unit. Therefore, in the event of an AC,
battery or PCB failure, no alarms will be generated and the overall power feed and
voltage available to the system will drop, generating module failures.

Please refer to the Power Management section for electrical load calculations.

Map Graphic Annunciator

(120-8105W, off-white, 120-8105G, grey)

The map graphic annunciator allows you to illuminate any 16 of the 70 LED’s which can
be used to provide visual annunciation of any characteristic of the MONITOR xL™
system. The map is fully configurable and the display template is provided in MS Word

 VEREX Director Software Overview

The Director Software is a powerful client/server platform that provides you with full
functionality to configure, monitor, and control the MONITOR xL system.

This section will describe the main functions of the software and provide you with
commercial arguments in order to better sell the product. A Software Pick Table and
examples have been included at the end of the section.

The main highlights of V4.x are:

 Tab-driven screens for legibility

 Feature sensitive menus:
see only what you need to see
 Wizards reduce installation and configuration times
 20 custom + 2 graphical fields
 Enhanced Report Engine
 Visual Director with Video Integration
 Advanced Alarm Handling and Prioritisation
 Multilingual (English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, Russian)

Tab-Driven Screens
Tab-driven screens provide for
clear hierarchical legibility

Information in blue
is automatically
retrieved from the
system

Tree architecture

Version 4.x features screens which have been redesigned from the ground up to organise the
information contained in these screens in a hierarchical fashion: the top tab will always
display the minimal information required to get a system up and running in a minimum
amount of time.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 59

 Feature Sensitive Menus

The more complex and feature-rich a system, the greater the challenge to programme it. The
MONITOR xL system features simple, graphical tools that will guide you intuitively through
your installation with ease and confidence.

Pictures and illustrations

help you determine visually
what hardware you have.

Friendly icons help you

identify your modules
and programme them.

Helpful grids
give you an
instant big picture
view of your
options

For an even simpler way to programme your system, you can also use our Interactive
Wizards, which will guide you throughout the configuration process using plain English
questions.

60 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

In order to further simplify the user interface, all tabs and menu items are driven by the
choices made during the set-up. Thus, if intrusion only has been chosen, only those elements
pertaining to an intrusion system will be shown.

Likewise, information about Central Station monitoring, LCD keypads and access control
systems are hidden.

This approach simplifies navigation and enhances user friendliness, thereby reducing
valuable set-up times.

Configuration Screens

The Director software has been designed with ease of use and programming in mind. Many
new features have been added based upon field trials and feedback from users across the
world.

To simplify cross-system data handling and mass changes, all screens can be viewed in either
form or grid view as illustrated below:

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 61

 The Form/Grid view button
is always conveniently
located and accessible.

 The tree gives you quick
access to all user,
programming and control
status screens. Access to any
node can be restricted based
on log-on permissions

Virtually any screen,

function or node has three
levels of access: no access,
view-only rights, and view
and edit rights. Even access
to specific functions can be
authorised for one PC and
not for another. This is used
for PCs located in high risk
public areas.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 63

 Advanced Technical Tools

The Director now features advanced tools, allowing you to configure custom circuit types,
full remote diagnostics, or programme sophisticated automated commands.

You can configure and programme

your own custom supervision. Helpful The Boolean logic programming tool
screens and graphs simplify your task allows you to use any input or output
and make any system installation a point (physical or virtual), set conditions
simple process. and equations to automate events - 15
nested levels are available.

Use these features to simplify installation and take-overs, turn off lights based on people
counts or timers (eg, no activity in system for last 30 minutes, etc.).

Wizards

Director is capable of highly complex functions, controlling thousands of points, doors, and
various communications media. Version 4.x now provides you with step-by-step intuitive
wizards which fill out meaningful default values in the system to ensure quick start-up times,
even for novice users.

The two main wizards concern overall system set-up and communications. Every effort has
been made to automate the process as much as possible by reading information off the key
(dongle) or the system itself. This information appears in blue and guides the user through
the programming and troubleshooting processes.

64 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

The wizards are organised in four quadrants:

 Quadrant 1 (Upper Left): indicates your current step and instructions

 Quadrant 2 (Lower Left): indicates where you are overall and how many steps are left
 Quadrant 3 (Lower Right): is often a reproduction of the actual screen where the
information is normally inputted
 Quadrant 4 (Upper Right): provides you with additional help and hints.

The Wizards use actual screens, which make it easier for the user to understand where they
are and what they are doing. The same screens and order are used in our technical training
courses.

66 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

Activity Reports

You now have 24 filters at your disposal to track any combination of activity.

You can also output your reports to a variety of media, including export files to other
Microsoft Windows applications. You can also generate your own custom reports using the
custom report generator.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 67

 Visual Director: Integrated Graphical Maps and Video

Visual Director offers you graphic maps in which you can organise customized views of your
system and interact with it in an intuitive manner.

Visual Director also allows you to integrate cameras from the VEREX NetVision digital
video platform.

Use the map creation tools to build your own views: simply drag and drop objects onto your
map (BMP and Windows Metafile are acceptable).

Cameras can be
viewed all the
time, or popped-
up automatically
when an event
occurs Interactive maps
reflect real-time
status of system and
give you full control.

Then use the map builder to control the various objects: each interactive icon allows the user
to open/close doors, arm/disarm areas, check the status of individual points, verify Suite
Security module status or call up live video feeds from the NetVision system.

You can also trigger the NetVision system to automatically start recording video based on
access control, intrusion, fire or internal events. The event log will then add a camera icon to
indicate that there is an associated video clips(s) – see below.

68 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

 Recorded video
window shows all
associated cameras
and gives you useful
control and search
tools.

Camera icon

The Visual Director interface is entirely configurable and lockable, based on operator log-in.
This gives you unsurpassed flexibility in designing the best screen for your application, while
controlling essential parameters like bandwidth consumption, image quality, and even the
amount of time allowed for a specific connection.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 69

 Advanced Alarm Handling and Alarm Prioritisation

The events window now has a filter which allows users to sort and mask event information
based on the criteria that affects them. This screen also prompts the user to acknowledge
alarms, if this is required, and will not hide the event until resolution has been effected.

All events (208 different types are available) can be given a priority level (5000 levels are
available) that will then be used in the events filter. Further, each event type can be colour
coded (user defined) and a distinctive sound can be associated to specific events (WAV
files). This allows you to set up a truly interactive guard station operation.

70 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

Photo Verification and Virtual Guard Station

This feature allows you to pop up the picture of any given user on your screen based upon an
access control event (access granted, denied, invalid card, etc.). In conjunction with pop-up
cameras you can create a virtual guard station, where a centrally located guard can supervise
and check several access points. A live view of the person entering can be instantaneously
compared with that person’s ID picture for as many points as needed.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 71

 Software Pick Table, Licensing, and PC Specifications

VISUAL DIRECTOR

Visual Director makes use of interactive maps with integrated video from NetVision.
Using Visual Director, an operator is able to fully control and check the status of the
system using various map views. Visual Director is a standard feature offered in
Enterprise and Enterprise Elite versions of the software.

72 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

DATABASE VIEWS & SQL Support

Database Views
This feature in Director gives the operator the ability to write custom reports. All
configuration and event data is provided to the operator. The operator is then able to
“view” and extract the information that is required.

"Database Views" is a standard feature offered in the Enterprise Elite version of the
software.

SQL SUPPORT
Director can be installed on a customer’s managed (IT Department) SQL server. This
facilitates central database maintenance such as backups and security.

The ability to install the Director software on such a network is a standard feature offered
in the Enterprise Elite version of the software.

Notes: This has been referred to as the “Open Database” option which has caused some
confusion. This feature does NOT include the Microsoft SQL Server software or
associated licensing. Rather, it is intended to work with SQL server software/licensing
that you already own, or have purchased separately. Database views and SQL server
support is indicated as "Database Query" in the license manager program.

PHOTO-BADGING
The Photo Integration Package expands the MONITOR xL™ product to include
extensive photo badging capabilities. This package allows for capturing photos, badge
design, and printing on any Windows ® compatible printer.

Photo-Badging is optional in the Enterprise version of software, and is standard in the

Enterprise Elite software version.

CLIENT/SERVER DEPLOYMENT
Often, it is a requirement of IT departments that the application software be able to
support a client/server environment. The ability to install the Director software on such a
network is available in the Enterprise and Enterprise Elite software versions.

ERM CAPABILITY
Sometimes there is a requirement to have Director linked to a Human Resource database.
This allows the customer to have a single point of data entry for all users. An application
such as this will require additional software linking the Human Resource system with
Director. This software is typically developed by the customer. This functionality is
available as an option to the Enterprise Elite version of the software.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 73

 HTTP WEB BROWSER SERVER
This option allows you to set up an http server on the Director server machine. The http
server will support up to 10 simultaneous external clients using commercially available
web browsers such as Microsoft Explorer.

Please note that the functionality supported concerns the Control & Status, and Reports
sections of the Director software. No configuration can be done through the interface.

Note: The web browser interface exists only in English.

 Wireless Basic Intrusion System with Panic Buttons

This is a variation on the basic intrusion system where we are simply adding a wireless
receiver module, wireless contacts, and panic buttons. You can add this variation to any of
the intrusion or access control systems.

Site Specifications

The customer has a remote reception area that is open late and is subject to a higher than
normal security risk. It would be very expensive to wire this remote reception area using
conventional methods. The reception also requires a glass-break detector to protect the glass
front door.

Solution

1 control panel with modem board of your choice

1 LCD keypad, white 120-3610W
1 Inovonics wireless receiver 120-9240 or 120-9260

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 81

 Single Site Basic Access Control System with Intrusion

Site Specifications

The customer has a single office with one entrance. There are 25 employees altogether. There
are 32 intrusion points.

Solution

This system is identical to the previous example. We have simply added a 16 point expander
module. 12 intrusion points are connected to the panel’s motherboard, 4 are connected to the
LCD keypad and 16 are connected to the point expander.

1 control panel with Feature Expansion Board

1 LCD keypad white 120-3610W
1 2-door controller (small cabinet) 120-8206 or 120-8209
1 switchplate arming station G-Prox II 120-8230G
1 package of 25 cards, programmed 36 bit 120-2062
1 16-point expander 120-3646

82 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

Upgrading from a Single Site Access Control System to Multiple Sites
(Networked using a telephone connection)

We start from the previous example, where we bought the following equipment:

1 control panel with Feature Expansion Board and modem board of your choice
1 LCD keypad white 120-3610W
1 2-door controller (small cabinet) 120-8206 or 120-8209
1 switchplate arming station G-Prox II 120-8230G
1 package of 25 G-Prox II cards, programmed 36 bit 120-2062
1 16-point expander 120-3646

Site Specifications

In addition to the first site that we installed (1 exit, 25 employees, 32 intrusion points), the
customer now has a second site with 40 employees, 1 door and 32 intrusion points.

Solution

First of all, you will need to install the Director Enterprise software so that you can network
the original site with the second site. Add one modem board of your choice at the original
site. You will then need:

1 Director Enterprise software, 120-8605

Second, you will install the second site with:

1 control panel with Feature Expansion Board and modem board of your choice
1 LCD keypad white 120-3610W
1 2-door controller (small cabinet) 120-8206 or 120-8209
1 switchplate arming station G-Prox II 120-8230G
2 packages of 25 G-Prox II cards, programmed 36 bit 120-2062
1 16-point expander 120-3646

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 83

 Note: you need Director software to control an Enterprise system. You may use the LCD
keypad to change/add/delete users locally, as well as the PC.

84 – VEREX MONITOR xLTM v4.4

Multiple Site Access Control System

The architecture is identical to the previous examples. The components are as follows:

For the first (main) site:

1 control panel with Feature Expansion Board and modem board of your choice
1 Director Enterprise software, 120-8605
1 2-door controller (small cabinet) 120-8206 or 120-8209
1 switchplate arming station G-Prox II reader 120-8230G
1 package of 25 G-Prox II cards, programmed 36 bit 120-2062
1 16-point expander 120-3646

For the second site:

1 control panel with Feature Expansion Board and modem board of your choice
1 LCD keypad, white120-3610W
1 2-door controller (small cabinet) 120-8206 or 120-8209
1 switchplate arming station G-Prox II 120-8230G
2 packages of 25 G-Prox II cards, programmed 36 bit 120-2062
1 16-point expander 120-3646

Time & Attendance Applications

These applications are actually already included in any of the previous examples, since any
MONITOR xL™ will generate time and attendance reports.

The simplest configuration consists of installing a 2-door controller and 2 readers. Instead of
using the 2-door controller to control a door, use the 2 readers as in and out readers on door 1
and label the readers “TIME IN” and “TIME OUT”. The employees will thus use their card
at the beginning of the shift to punch in at “TIME IN”, and punch out by presenting their
card to the “TIME OUT” reader.

The same can be done to control a machine in a tool shop, in which case the operator’s time
on the machine is measured. Simply assign cards to a job number, instead of a user.

Time and attendance for office employees can also be measured, provided you plan for
adequate flow control (eg, make sure that employees DO badge in and out whenever they go
in or out).

MONITOR xL™ has pre-configured reports such as: all employees who entered after xx:00
(late arrival report), all employees who stayed after yy:00 (over-time report), attendance of a
specific user, movement at a specific door, and many more.

VEREX MONITOR xLTM V4.4- 85

 All reports can be exported into any of the MS Office Suite programs (Access, Excel, Word,
Outlook), or other file formats.

Roll Call Applications (Mines, Tunnels, High Security Plants…)

This application is a specific report that will tell you who is specifically in at a given area at
any point in time. For instance, you designate areas 2 and 3 as mine shafts 2 and 3. If there is
a problem in mineshaft 2 (a gallery collapses, flood, etc.), you can instantaneously obtain a
report about who is in the area (roll call) to help rescue efforts.

Condominium or Multiple Suite Complex Management

This is a specific application using the Suite Security Module. Up to 60 Suite Security
modules can be installed on one MONITOR xL™ control panel. You will need the Enterprise
version of the software to use these modules.

The maximum number of suite modules is 3,600 per account.

Suite Security modules connect to the RS 485 bus like any other modules and the same
distance and wiring rules apply to these modules. The rule of thumb for suite security
modules is that 5 modules take up the space of one regular module.

The following table allows you to calculate how many modules you can use per panel in
combination with other modules:

Item Regular Suite Security Panels

modules Modules
Only suite security modules 0 60 1
Only suite security modules 0 120 2
Only suite security modules 0 180 3
Suite security modules and 2 doors 1 door controller 55 1
with access control
Suite security modules with 8 intrusion 2 50 1
points and 2 doors with access control
Suite security modules with 8 intrusion 3 45 1
points and 4 doors with access control

We feature two types of suite security modules, a 2 zone model and an 8 zone model:

The 2 zone module is an economical alternative destined for simple security management in
an apartment, while the 8 zone module will cover a larger suite.

Guard Tours

Guard tours are integrated into the Director software. Please consult the User’s Manual for
full details.

Conditional Output Programming (Automation)

MONITOR xL™ features conditional output programming based on Boolean logic

commands (AND, OR, NOT, NOR, XOR). Up to 16 levels can be nested in statements to
control various inputs and outputs.

These commands would be typically used for basic programming logic, such as
arming/disarming a system when a counter reaches a specified value, or switching off the air
conditioning based on a set of defined conditions.

User in/out status

MONITOR xL™ can track users in and out of the premises and you can find out, area by
area, who is in.

Alpha-numeric pager/SMS interface

MONITOR xL™ allows you to send pager or SMS text messages based upon events in the
system. The events are selected with the events prioritisation tool.

Procedure for Desktop Programming Station

120-8201 and 120-8203 are the base 26 bit and 26 & 36 bit programmers with lock code key
1. The next series concerns the custom lock code keys. Each lock code key will be attributed
to one customer only.

The secure lock code, used in conjunction with G-

Prox™ II readers will ensure that both readers and
cards are locked into a specific dealer’s unique
number and cannot be taken over by any other
dealer, even if they have a G-Prox™ II
programmer.

G-Prox™ II readers ship with a default lock code of

1, as do the programmed cards. In order to lock in
the reader, installers have 20 minutes from power-
up to swipe a reader configuration card (RCC,
produced by the programmer in RCC mode). The
reader will then change its lock code from 1 to the
unique secure lock code. Once set, the secure lock
code cannot be reverted to 1, or any other number,
at the next power-up sequence. The only way to change the code from a value different than1
consists in shipping the reader back to VEREX’s plant for resetting. RCC’s can be
programmed on regular cards.

Programmed cards (whether bought separately, or as part of packages) can be reprogrammed

as many times as needed.
