CRC Technical Reference Manual 2 5 Technical Manuals Online http www tech man com Features and functions Holidays are exceptions to normal Monday through Sunday schedules when different access requirements are desired Many holidays can be programmed using rules rather than fixed dates This minimizes year to year programming required to update holidays For example schedules for fixed holidays such as January 1 which can fall on a Saturday or Sunday are assigned to take place on the previous Friday or next Monday respectively Database capacities All access decisions are made locally in the CRC The CRC s non volatile memory holds the cardholder schedule and holiday information required A total of 8 000 cardholders can be stored in each CRC The CRCXM has additional memory and supports 36 000 cardholders The CRC or CRCXM can store 1 200 access levels 255 per company Each cardholder can be assigned two access levels The CRC or CRCXM can store 1 200 schedules 255 per company and 1 200 holidays 255 per company The CRC stores up to 5 000 events per door ensuring no loss of history The CRCXM has additional memory and stores up to 20 000 events This history information can be uploaded to the ACDB program on demand for use in a variety of reports User defined logged attempts By using a suppression schedule in the ACDB you can determine when normal access events are to be logged Logged events
