Security system and a method of operating same
First Claim
1. A security system including:
- at least one input device allowing input of access codes into said system;
a closure member operatively associated with said at least one input device, said closure member being adapted to be locked to prevent access through an entrance;
wherein said system is adapted to perform a first set of function(s) upon receipt of a first of a plurality of pre-defined access codes;
wherein said system is adapted to perform a second set of function(s) upon receipt of a second of said plurality of pre-defined access codes;
wherein both said first and second sets of function(s) include at least unlocking said closure member, thus allowing access through said entrance; and
wherein said first and second sets of function(s) differ at least in part from each other.

Abstract
A security system is disclosed as including input devices allowing input of access codes into the system; a door operatively associated with the input devices, the closure member being lockable to prevent access through an entrance; and the system is set to perform a first set of function(s) upon receipt of a first pre-defined access code to perform a second set of function(s) upon receipt of a second pre-defined access code; and both the first and second sets of function(s) include at least unlocking the closure member, thus allowing access through the entrance; and the first and second sets of function(s) differ at least in part from each other. A method of operating a security system with input devices allowing input of access codes into said system, and a door operatively associated with the input devices, the closure member being lockable to prevent access through an entrance, is disclosed as including the steps of (a) performing a first set of function(s) upon receipt of a first pre-defined access code; and (b) performing a second set of function(s) upon receipt of a second pre-defined access code; and both the first and second sets of function(s) include at least unlocking the door, thus allowing access through the entrance; and the first and second sets of function(s) differ at least in part from each other.
