InfoProx Entry Introduction 1. Important Safety Information The safety guidelines for InfoProx Entry include: · Power sources · ANSI/UL listing (USA) and CSA 22.2 listing (Canada) · UL 294-compliant installations · FCC Class A digital device · Canadian Radio Emissions Requirements Power Sources To power the door latch, you should use a power limited UL 294 or UL 603 door strike power supply. You can obtain the door strike power supply from AlarmSAF, Altronix, Securitron, and Software House. You can also use the door strike power supply to provide power to the reader units. The typical load on the power supply is 250 milliamps per reader. You can also power the readers by using the DIU supplied by Software House, or a Desktop Power Supply rated 12 VDC, 1.2 Amp minimum, with Class 2 and UL Markings. If you do not have a battery backup for the power supply, you cannot connect the power supply to a receptacle that is controlled by a switch. ANSI/UL listing (USA) and CSA 22.2 listing (Canada) A National Recognized Test Laboratory (NRTL) has examined and tested InfoProx Entry, EtherProx Entry, and InfoProx Exit readers according to the requirements of ANSI/UL 294 - Access Control System Units and CSA 22.2 No. 205-M1983. The readers are low-voltage 12-volt assemblies that operate from power limited sources. When you install a reader according to the instructions in this manual and wire it according to the National Electrical Code (NEC), you can expect the reader to meet all safety requirements. UL 294-compliant Installation To ensure a secure installation that is in full compliance with UL 294 requirements for security and performance, follow these guidelines: · You must install the wiring for the door controls on the secured side of the premises. · If you provide backup power with the installation, the batteries in the 12-volt UL 294 or UL 603 power supply should provide power for the door strike and the readers for a minimum of four hours. If you do not provide backup power with the installation, make a permanent marking on the power supply label of the expected duration of the fully charged battery. The Software House DIU also provides battery power. Software House 1
Introduction InfoProx Entry · According to UL 294 requirements, if you attempt to force open a door at an entrance that is controlled by an InfoProx reader, or tamper with the reader, an audible alarm will activate. A sound alarm device must have a sound level of at least 85 decibels. An alarm must activate for 15 minutes. You can purchase a Battery Back Up Supervisory Siren sounder, Model 0821 from Street Smart Security. There are three ways to meet the UL 294 alarm requirements: o Use a Software House DIU. The DIU closes a set of relay contacts when an intrusion or tamper is detected by the InfoProx Reader. The relay contacts activate the alarm. o Reverse the Entry and Exit readers so that the door controls are on the secure side of the door. Use the relay output of the Exit reader to activate a supervised sound device. o Use a standard UL burglar alarm system to monitor the door and the tamper activity at the InfoProx reader. FCC Class A Digital Device InfoProx readers have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the device is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The FCC ID is ACD/SPASSSERIES. Canadian Radio Emissions Requirements This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Le present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de la class A prescrites dans le Reglement sur le brouillage radiolelectrique edicte par le ministere des Communications du Canada. 2. Introduction The Software House InfoProx Entry Reader is a compact door control unit that provides a sophisticated, cost effective solution for single-door access monitoring and control. InfoProx Entry combines a proximity card reader and keypad with status indicators in a self-contained door control unit that is compact and discreet. The unit is housed in a weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure with a two-line LCD display screen and three LED indicators. Access to a secured area can be controlled in several ways: card swipe only, 2 Software House
InfoProx Entry Introduction card swipe plus personal identification number (PIN), or PIN only. Also, control may be implemented for entry-only or entry and exit access. InfoProx Entry is ideal for controlling a single door, usually in a remote area. It can be used for businesses, leisure facilities, members-only clubs and secure areas in public buildings. InfoProx Entry maintains a database of valid cards. Cards are added by accessing the Administration menu at the keypad. The Administration menu allows you to configure an InfoProx Entry. You can configure door open time, site-code, and other features. InfoProx Entry Software Utility, an optional Microsoft Windows-based software application, is available for use with the InfoProx Entry unit. The user database and configuration data can be downloaded to a PC workstation used for backup purposes. This data can then be uploaded to the unit’s database in the event of data loss on the InfoProx Entry unit. Another feature of InfoProx Entry is the ability to interpret the configuration and database files uploaded from the unit, and produce a report in the event the database and the backup are both lost. This report can also be used to compile lists of cardholders stored in the InfoProx Entry database. The InfoProx Entry is one of Software House’s suite of integrated products and services. Description InfoProx Entry is housed in a fully encapsulated polycarbonate electronics enclosure that is both weather and vandal resistant. InfoProx Entry is designed to mount on a standard electrical containment box. The keypad is required for PIN validation, access to the Administration menu, and data entry. InfoProx Entry supports HID 26-bit, HID 32-bit, and HID (Software House) 37-bit Wiegand proximity technology, which are licensed from HID Corporation. The following are cards and read ranges that are supported: · ISOProx® ll Card 9cm (3.6") · ProxCard™ Plus Card 6cm (2.4") · ProxCard® ll Card 10cm (4") · ProxKey™ ll Fob 4cm (1.6") An optional exit reader can be connected to the door control unit to create an entry/exit reader configuration for IN/OUT control. Alternatively, a push button can be connected as an input to the reader to provide egress from a controlled area where no exit reader is provided. The door control unit has four analog inputs and a set of dry relay contacts. The analog inputs are intended for use with external sensors to monitor door position, lock status, and a request-to-exit push button. The relay contacts are intended to control a door strike or lock. Initially, the administrator inputs the card ID numbers into the reader’s database. When a card is read, access is granted if the card ID matches an ID in the reader’s database. Card IDs not in the database are denied access. Software House 3
Introduction InfoProx Entry Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) can be assigned to some or all cards to increase security. Before access can be granted, a valid PIN must be entered after a valid card is read. The door control unit can be configured to allow access on entering a specific Global Identification Number (GIN) during certain times of the day, without the need for a card to be presented. Card, configuration, transaction and alarm information is held in the InfoProx Entry memory. Recording of alarms and card transactions are also stored for future upload to a workstation. Optional Software The optional InfoProx Entry software utility can be installed on an IBM compatible PC, running Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me or NT 4.0 operating systems. This application is used to add or remove card records, configure communications, upload and backup data, and produce reports. Communication between the door control unit and the software application is established through an RS232/485 converter plugged into a serial port on the back of a PC. A normal Cat 5 patch cable connects the converter to a female RJ45 connector, providing cable connection to the InfoProx Entry, as shown in the following diagram: Laptop/DesktopPCRS232/485ConverterRJ45FemaleExitJ5 J3EntryJ5J3Wall ByDoor JambWall OutsideInside Figure 1: PC and Exit Reader Connections When the PC software is running, a backup copy of the reader database can be uploaded from the computer to the reader unit. This data can be used to provide a backup copy should the reader database need to be regenerated; used to generate reports of card details or to configure other InfoProx Entry units by uploading a data file. Door Control Unit Administration The menu on the InfoProx Entry (the door control unit) is used to configure its operational settings and to maintain the card database. To preserve security, access to the menu is password protected. An authorized administrator can use the menu to carry out a variety of functions, which includes: 4 Software House
InfoProx Entry Introduction · Adding cards to the InfoProx Entry on board database · Removing cards from the database · Searching for and displaying card information · Configuring time zones and operational parameters, such as door strike time · Running diagnostic checks to test the unit · Changing passwords · Facilitating backup of the unit’s database Software House 5
InfoProx Entry Getting Started 3. Getting Started The following list displays the order of tasks you must complete for proper installation and configuration of the Door Control Unit. 1. Before installing the hardware, make sure you have the proper tools and materials, as listed: · Electrical containment box · Nominal 12 Volt power source · Containment box adapter plate, used for US installations (provided) · 2-pair (Belden 8723) cable for power and data with 4-pin socket · 5-pair cable for inputs and output with 10-pin socket · 2-pair (Belden 8723) cable with 4-pin socket for connection to exit reader · If software used, 1 RS485 cable with an RJ45 connector and RS232/485 converter · Pin-hex security screwdriver for secure mounting screws · Slot screwdriver 2. Review terms in the Glossary that are not familiar. 3. Read section 3,”InfoProx Hardware Installation,” before you install the hardware. 4. Familiarize yourself with the unit and the terms as explained in section 4 before configuring the unit. 5. Configure the unit, as described in section 4, “Configuring the Door Control Unit.” You can accept the defaults for some of these features and can return to configuration later to add time zones or to customize the unit. However, you must configure the time and decide whether they will enter a site code for the cards that they will add. The site code is an embedded three-digit code issued by the manufacturer with a batch of cards. 6. Setup the unit based on your needs, as described in section 3, ”InfoProx Hardware Installation.” 7. Complete a Diagnostic Routine to test the unit. 8. Add assigned cards or PINs to the unit so that personnel may gain access based on your access control criteria. 9. Test access and all attached devices. Software House 6
InfoProx Entry Getting Started Reader Types Software House manufactures three versions of readers: EtherProx Entry, InfoProx Entry, and InfoProx Exit. The EtherProx Entry is a door control unit that is controlled through web-based software. The InfoProx is a standalone door control unit that contains memory and data; the InfoProx Exit works with the InfoProx Entry or the EtherProx Entry. Since all the readers look alike, it is important to understand the SPASS identification codes that appear on the back of the units in order to identify the readers and to verify that you have the correct type of reader for your installation. On the back of each unit, the SPASS code appears, as follows: · IPE: InfoProx Entry · IPX: InfoProx Exit · EPE: EtherProx Entry Note The InfoProx Entry can be used only as an Entry Reader; an Entry Reader cannot be used as an exit reader. Preparing to Install InfoProx There are several ways to install an InfoProx reader. You can use an optional Door Interface Unit (DIU) or reverse the Entry and Exit readers in order to comply with UL 294. A DIU is an option that provides power for the readers and additional inputs, outputs, and alarms. You can wire the door controls to the DIU, making the installation UL 294-compliant. If you install readers for only inside access control and not for outside access control, your installation does not have to comply UL 294 requirements. When you install the Entry reader on the secure side of the door, the wiring is not accessible during an attempted break-in. With this type of installation, the Transaction report will show an entrance as Access granted - Exit and an exit as Access granted – Entry. Software House 7

InfoProx Hardware Installation InfoProx Entry 4. InfoProx Hardware Installation The enclosure is designed to mount directly onto a standard UK or European (French) electrical containment box (USA installations require an adapter plate), and standard conduit and fittings can be used. A clear polycarbonate screen covers the LCD for protection. Cables are pulled through the conduit and terminated in the containment box. The following cables are required: Cable Connector 2-pair (Belden 8723) cable for power and data 4-pin socket (J3) 5-pair (max) cable for inputs and output 10-pin socket (J2) 2-pair (Belden 8723) cable to exit reader 1 RS485 cable for female RJ45 connector 4-pin socket (J3) 4-pin socket (J5) The various cables use Phoenix Contact connectors for the unit’s inputs and outputs. The cables are secured into screw terminals. A flat blade screwdriver of 1/8” or less is recommended. The Phoenix Contact terminals used for the power and communication connections can accommodate two leads fitted into one terminal. Two stainless steel tamper-resistant mounting screws are supplied and are concealed behind specially molded covers when installation is complete. 14 Software House
InfoProx Entry InfoProx Hardware Installation Power Connections Power is supplied to the board by a J3 connector. In Figure 2, the diagram identifies the location of the terminal and power connections: Figure 2:Terminal and Power Connections The total cable length between the power supply and the reader depends upon the cable used and whether or not an exit reader is connected. See the following instructions regarding voltage: 1. For long cable runs, use Table 1, Voltage Table, to figure the voltage drop of the cable between the power supply and the reader. 2. Subtract the result from the power supply’s output voltage. 3. If the result is greater than 7.0 volts, the wiring is adequate. If not, use heavier (lower gauge) wire or a power supply with a higher voltage output. Example: If you use a 22AWG wire with a 12-volt power supply 300 feet away from the readers, the voltage drops to 7.2 volts at the reader. Using Table 1, Voltage Table to calculate the voltage, multiply 3 (300 ft) times the 1.6V drop = -4.8 drop for the 300 ft. span. Subtracting 4.8 from the 12V supply = 7.2. A voltage of 7.2 at the readers is sufficient power to operate the readers above the 7V minimum required. In this example, the total distance from the power source and the exit cannot be more than 300 ft. Software House 15
InfoProx Hardware Installation InfoProx Entry Note The reader requires a supply of 5V regulated for 180mA from 7 – 15V DC in. Power supply inputs are filtered, Transzorb and reverse voltage protected (250mA max). The following table displays the voltage drops per 100 feet and 100 meters.

Configuring the Door Control Unit InfoProx Entry Getting to know the configuration setup Becoming familiar with the terms used in the setup procedure will assist you in the configuration setup of the door control unit. Here are the terms and the preparation requirements you need to know. Terms to Know Before Configuration Set Up · Config Time: This is your current time in 24-hour format, represented by current hour and minutes. T=HH:MM DD/MM/YY. · Config TZ: Configure Time Zone. A single time zone can be assigned to a door control unit in order to facilitate cardholder access. Time zone allows you to split the day into two sections, Normal mode (i.e., Card plus Pin) and Time Zone mode. Time Zone mode can be either Free (Door unlocked), Swipe (Card Only), or Pin (such as GIN). Note The Pin mode does not refer to the Pin associated with a card, but rather the Global Identification Number (GIN) that can be used by all personnel once the Time Zone mode is set to Pin. The three Time Zone modes are less restrictive than the Normal mode. The Time Zone is usually set for the day shift and the non-Time Zone is the rest of the 24 hours. · Config TZ Start: Configure Time Zone Start Time or the time at which the Time Zone will change from Normal to one of the other three choices. · Config TZ End: Configure Time Zone End Time or the time at which the mode will change back to Normal. · Config TZ Type: There are four types of access control associated with time zones: Normal Mode (card and PIN); PIN-Only Mode; Free Mode (door open or unrestricted-access mode; Card-Only Mode. These modes are explained in section 3. · Config I/Ps: Configure the unit’s inputs. There are four inputs: 0 to monitor door position; 1 to monitor lock status; 2 to monitor request to exit (RTE/RTX) switch status; and 3 is a spare input. These inputs are set at the factory. If users want to re-configure these inputs, they should contact your Dealer or Technical Support (see page 58). · Set Drsk: Set the Door Strike Time. This setting determines the span of time a door lock will remain open after a card has been swiped or a PIN entered. The default time is five seconds. The door strike relay will automatically reset when the door is opened. · Set Drclose: Set the Door Close Time. This setting determines the span of time a door can remain open (door held) before an alarm is triggered. The default time is 15 seconds. · Set GIN: Set Global Identification Number. GIN is access without cards during a Time Zone. For instance, if a Time Zone is setup from 26 Software House
InfoProx Entry Configuring the Door Control Unit 08:00 to 17:00, personnel who know the GIN are allowed access during these hours, but after the Time Zone expires, entrance is allowed only to cardholders. The default GIN is 1234. · Set Scode: Set Site Code. If the site code is entered into the InfoProx door control unit, then all cards read by the unit must have this site code to be valid and to enable access. If no site code is configured during setup, the unit will allow any card, regardless of the site code, to be added and used to enable access. However, this condition may not provide the degree of security desired. By default, the site code is set to –1. If the site code is set to 0 by the user, it will revert to the default or –1. This default allows any added card to be used as valid. If the site code is enabled after cards are entered, the unit will check the validity of all cards in the unit’s database and match to the site code. If the previously entered cards have no site code or have site codes that do not match, then the cards will be invalid and will not work to enable access. To preview the modes, users should view the Configuration screens by pressing #. After previewing the Set Scode screen, pressing # will return users to the Administration menu, where they can again enter 3-Config to start the configuration process. Before you begin configuring The following list prepares you for the material you will need for the setup process. · Current time, including day, month, and year · If the optional time zone setup is desired, decide on a time zone time parameter and who will be given access. You can have only one time zone per door control unit. If no time zone is setup, then access will be on a 24-hour clock and accessible with a valid card and PIN associated with the card. If there is no PIN associated with the card, then access will be allowed by presenting just the card, assuming that it is a valid card in the database. · Determine if the factory defaults are adequate for door strike time and door close time. If not, determine an appropriate time for the setup. · If you are going to use a Global Identification Number (GIN) with a number other than the default of 1234, use a 4-digit GIN. · Optional site code Software House 27

Technical Description InfoProx Entry 8. InfoProx Technical Description The Software House InfoProx Entry Reader is considered to be the industry's smallest proximity reader to incorporate an LCD and a keypad. Designed to be simple to install and easy to use, the InfoProx reader can feed information about transaction outcomes directly back to the cardholder. The InfoProx Entry reader is intended to control access to restricted areas and is designed to be as compact and discreet as possible. The reader consists of the following main units: · A read-head. · Twelve character, standard layout, tactile response keypad that allows Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) to be used. · Three high-intensity LED indicators: red, green, and amber. · Two-line by sixteen-character Supertwist LCD with backlight. · Flame-retardant polycarbonate enclosure containing fully encapsulated electronics, sealed to IP65, and protected by a tamper sensor. These parts are housed inside a polycarbonate enclosure with a LCD screen and three LED indicators. The reader’s electronics are sealed so that it is both weather and vandal resistant. If a fault occurs, the unit can be replaced and the reader can be made operational in minimal time; this replacement will not affect other readers. The reader electronics are totally encapsulated, so the PCB components cannot be accessed. The only components visible at the back of the reader are connectors, the tamper sensor and the buzzer. Despite being small enough to mount onto an electrical containment box, the InfoProx Entry reader has the ability to display up to 32 characters of useful information for the cardholder and administrator. The reader may be mounted directly onto a standard UK or European electrical containment box (USA installations require an adapter plate). Standard conduit and fittings can be used. Two stainless steel tamper-resistant fixing screws are supplied, which are concealed behind specially molded covers when installation is complete. The keypad is used to open a password-protected administration menu. The menu allows the device to be configured locally, including PIN validation is required, which offers additional security. The InfoProx reader controls all local door functions, thereby removing the need for additional controllers or I/O (Input/Output) units. Readers run on a nominal 12 volt supply (7V - 15VDC, 250 mA Max). Power can be supplied either directly from a local source or from associated units. Power supply inputs are filtered, Transzorb protected, and reverse voltage protected. 60 Software House
InfoProx Entry Technical Description Exit Readers Each reader can service an additional exit reader, which can be used on the inner side of a secure access point. The InfoProx Entry reader can have one full exit reader with an LCD and a keypad. The full exit reader is an InfoProx Entry reader, which differs from the entry in that it does not have internal RAM and therefore cannot hold card IDs and status data. The information is held in the attached entry unit’s database. Inputs and Outputs Each reader monitors up to four inputs: input 0 monitors door position; input 1 monitors lock status; input 2 is for push button; and input 3 is a spare unit. Each reader has one relay, rated at 30VDC @ 5 Amps. For normal door mode, this relay is reserved for door strike. For example, the relay automatically fires on a valid card swipe. Each reader has a single dry contact relay that provides a control signal to external units. The relay is energized through a discrete, EEPROM-controlled switching circuit, which determines the Relay Idle State. The number of inputs and outputs can be extended. If the reader is connected to a Door Interface Unit (DIU), conditions are monitored from the DIU directly, thus freeing up all four inputs and one output on the reader. The Read-Head The Software House InfoProx Entry reader is manufactured to use proximity technology, licensed from HID Corporation. The following read ranges are supported: · ProxCard® ll Card: 10cm (4") · ISOProx® ll Card: 9cm (3.6") · ProxCard™ Plus Card: 6cm (2.4") · ProxKey™ ll Fob: 4cm (1.6") Software House 61

The following card types are supported: · ISOProx® ll Card · ProxCard™ Plus Card · ProxCard® ll Card · ProxKey™ ll Fob The Keypad The 12-way keypad on the front of the reader is an integral part of the reader’s functionality. Cardholders must enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN) after a valid card swipe, before access is granted in normal mode. The LEDS The three high intensity LEDs (red, green, and amber) are displayed at the front of the reader. LEDs indicate outcomes of card swipes. Possible responses to card swipes are as follows: LCD Display LED Card Valid Green Invalid Card Red Not In System Red Error Reading Card - Retry Red Close Door Red Retry PIN Number Amber Time Zone Set Amber Blinking Table 2: Card Transaction Displays 62 Software House
InfoProx Entry Technical Description The LCD Panel The two-line by 16-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides useful card swipe and diagnostic information, and is vital for configuring the reader. Normally, the reader will display a message, similar to the following example: InfoENTRY 16:30 Present card The address and status of the reader are displayed on the top line, while the result of the card swipe and the current time are displayed on the bottom line of the LCD. LCD Contrast Control The LCD contrast can be adjusted by using the Reader Setup program. Note See Section 7: Installation; “Setup procedure for the InfoProx Entry reader.” Batteries A PCB-mounted 3.6V rechargeable Lithium battery provides backup power for the RAM IC. The battery ensures that the database is maintained, even if the reader is disconnected from the main power supply. Circuitry is provided to permit trickle charging of this battery from the reader supply. Note The charging process for a discharged battery may take approximately five days. Software House 63
Technical Description InfoProx Entry InfoProx Entry PCB General Reader electronics are totally encapsulated and therefore, PCB components cannot be accessed. The only components visible at the back of the reader are connectors, the tamper sensor, the RS485 terminator loop, and the buzzer. The following major components of the reader are described in the following sections. Relays Each reader has a single dry contact relay that provides a control signal to external units. The relay is energized through a discrete, EEPROM-controlled switching circuit, which determines the Relay Idle State. The Relay Idle State function (when the reader is available for a transaction) defines whether a relay is: · Normally Closed - relay energized, opening on a valid card swipe or power fail, Powered to Secure. · Normally Open - relay de-energized, closing upon a valid card swipe or power fail, Powered to Unlock. The Relay Idle State is configured through the reader setup program. Note Readers controlling fire exits may be configured Powered to Secure mode, depending upon local codes. Tamper Switch An optical tamper sensor on the board activates when the unit is removed from the wall, triggering an alarm. Memory The reader is supplied with a 512K Static RAM chip (HM628128LP-10 or equivalent). During normal operation, the IDs of all valid cards are held in RAM. Details of all transactions that occur at the reader are stored in RAM and can be downloaded to the workstation when communications are restored. Interconnections InfoProx Entry reader is designed for ease of installation and maintenance. Interface connections between the reader circuit board and external items, such as the exit reader or door locks, are made by means of connectors mounted on the back of the unit. The function of each of these connectors is detailed below. 64 Software House
InfoProx Entry Technical Description Power Connector Power is supplied to the board via connector J3. Figure 9 shows the layout of the connections: 1234J3+-Power in7 - 15V DC Figure 9: Power Connector with Nominal 12V DC Power Supply Power for the reader can be supplied locally, using a Door Interface Unit or a 12V DC power supply. Reader Inputs & Outputs For standard door mode the following applies: input 0 monitors door position; input 1 monitors lock status; input 2 is for push button; and input 3 is a spare unit. However, these defaults can be overwritten. The reader has one relay, rated at 30VDC @ 5 Amps. In normal door mode, this relay is reserved for door strike, such as relay automatically fires on a valid card swipe. The four inputs and the relay output for the reader are connected in the ten-way Phoenix Contact J2. Exit Reader Connections The full exit reader connects to the entry reader through an RS485 port. The connection is made from connector J3 on the master reader to connector J3 on the exit reader.

Technical Description InfoProx Entry Reader Types There are two types of readers: Door Readers and Control Post Readers. Door Reader 1 Master reader (plus an optional full exit). Application for the Reader The Door Reader is designed to control and monitor a door/barrier. Input 0 to the reader monitors the door position (open or closed); input 1 monitors the lock status; input 2 is used for a request to exit; and the relay is used for the door strike. When a valid card is swiped through the read head, the door lock is released for a time (lockopentime - configurable at the reader). Input 0 is masked or shunted for a time (doorcloseafter), configurable at the reader to enable entry or exit through the door. If the door is still open after this time period has elapsed, the LCD displays a Door Held Open alarm. If the door is not opened within lockopentime, the reader returns to an idle state and the card has to be re-presented. A momentary contact switch can be connected to input 2, allowing the door to be opened from the secure side without activating an alarm. This is called request to exit (RTE or RTX). 66 Software House

Input 0 (door position) and input 1 (lock status) should be ON when the door and lock are closed; these inputs should be OFF when the door and lock are open. Input 2 should not be ON unless the push button is pressed. Control Post Reader 1 Master reader Application for the Reader The Control Post reader is designed for use at a manned location, where there is no physical barrier. None of the inputs are reserved and a valid card swipe does not fire a relay. The purpose of this mode is to record whether or not a person has passed this point, providing data for a transaction report. Functional Checks Use the diagnostic routine to test the inputs to the reader. When in Control Post mode, the reader’s four inputs are non-assigned and can be configured as "normally on" or "normally off," depending on what the input is monitoring. A diagnostic swipe will show the current state of these inputs.
