How to Disable Code Tamper

Code Tamper is the ability of Velocity to deny access for a set amount of time after a set number of invalid access attempts has been made. Generally three consecutive incorrect attempts will lock the keypad/reader for one minute.

To change these settings, or disable them, follow the steps below:

• Open Controller Properties, select Setup

• Under Code Tamper Alarm, edit the Invalid penalty timer, Threshold timer, and Lockout time

  • When the first invalid code/pin is entered, this will trigger the beginning of the invalid penalty timer.

  • Counting down from 20, the timer has an additional penalty added after each invalid access.

  • If the timer exceeds the threshold timer, it will lock the reader for the lockout time.

    • EX: Invalid Access 1: 20 seconds

    • Wait 5 seconds

    • Invalid Access 2: 35 seconds

    • Invalid Access 3: 55 seconds

    • Locked out one minute

  • To disable this, the user could set the timers to values that could almost be impossible to reach

    • Invalid penalty timer: 1 second

    • Threshold timer: 99 seconds
