BC615 Installation and User Manual 5 What is the BC615? BC615 is a compact card reader for magnetic cards – and BC615-Prox is a compact card reader for proximity cards. Both models have capacity for 1000 cards. In the following chapters the name BC615 will refer to both models because the only difference is the way of reading cards. See also chapter Proximity function on page 12 for more information of the proximity function.
BC615 Installation and User Manual Features included These are the main features included in BC615: • Six different security levels. Various methods of opening the door, e.g. Card, Card + PIN and Common code. • Built-in time clock. Enables time control of cards and security levels. Holidays, half-days and holiday periods can be preprogrammed. • Door Monitoring. Enables activation of an alarm if the door is forced open or held open too long. • Access registration.
BC615 Installation and User Manual 7 How does the card reader work? BC615 can easily be adapted to the security requirements in a particular building, a particular day of the week or time of day. To make this possible you have to be familiar with the following concepts: • Security levels • Time zones • Day types • Time schedules Security levels The security level determines what action is required to open the door. The following security levels exist: • Unlocked door.
BC615 Installation and User Manual Examples of timing security levels During office hours, when there are people in the premises, the security level may not need to be so high: Unlocked door or Common code may be suitable levels. During lunch time, the level may be raised to Card. The remaining time, i.e. evenings, nights and weekends Card + PIN is a suitable security level. The Toggle function can be used in premises where a person is responsible during certain hours; e.g.
BC615 Installation and User Manual 9 Time zones and day types There are two purposes of creating time zones: • To be able to assign different security levels to different times of the day. • To be able to make certain cards valid at certain times. Example: The working hours in an office could be as follows: Monday to Friday: 08.30-11.59 and 13.00-17.59 Lunch: 12.00-12.59 Saturdays, Sundays and holidays: Closed Half-days, e.g. the day 08.30-11.59 and 13.00-14.
BC615 Installation and User Manual Each time zone may consist of two intervals. To be able to assign suitable security levels to the office example above, the following time zones are needed: Time zone no Applies 01 Applies 24 hours a day (all day types). Note: Default time zone that can be changed. 02 08.30 – 11.59 and 13.00 – 17.59 Monday to Friday (day types 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). 03 12.00 – 12.59 Monday to Friday and half-days (day types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8). 04 00.00 – 08.29 and 18.00 – 23.
BC615 Installation and User Manual 11 Time schedules There are two purposes for creating time schedules: To be able to combine time zones for the control of security levels. To be able to combine time zones defined for the time control of specific cards. Up to four time zones can be included in one time schedule. When the desired time schedules have been defined, it is an easy task to tie them either to a certain security level or to specific cards (see the Programming chapter).
BC615 Installation and User Manual Proximity function General The Proximity function means that the reader can read cards or tags without them being in contact with the reader. The reader continuously transmits a low power radio frequency. When a card or tag is presented within the field of the reader it activates and transmits a unique identification number (card number) back to the reader. The reader can be mounted on all types of materials.

BC615 Installation and User Manual Installing the card reader Install the card reader at a height of 120–140 cm (from the floor to the bottom edge of the card reader). To cater for disabled persons, a suitable height is approximately 95 cm.

To install the card reader: 1 Open the card reader with the key supplied.
BC615 Installation and User Manual 15 How to select connecting cables It is important to use cables with the correct conductor gauge, to keep the voltage drop in the cables as low as possible. • 12 volt supplies. A 12 V electric locking device generally needs at least 11 V to work properly, so the voltage at the card reader should never be less than 11 V. • 24 volt supplies.

BC615 Installation and User Manual Recommended cables Cable from Bewator Entro to CR1 Maximum length: 1200 metres. • Pair twisted screened (1 pair + screen), e.g. Beldon 9502 (communication) and 1.5mm2 (power) OR • PAARFLEX CY (Bewapass custom cable comprising communication and power in one cable). Cables between CR1 and BC615 Maximum length: 15 metres. Specified cable: Straight screened cable (4 + screen), e.g. Beldon 9534.
BC615 Installation and User Manual 19 Connecting the power supplies Connect the power supply according to the instructions below, but do not connect the power to outgoing cables. Apply power when you start the system (see the Check the communications circuit section). 4 + screen CR1 4 + screen 1 2 2 Battery backup 2 + protective earth 220 V The system cables screen can be earthed at the power supply.
BC615 Installation and User Manual Central power supply If central power supply is used, precautions should taken against voltage drop. Dimension the power supply equipment and cables so that the voltage at the last door is not below the lock or reader’s tolerance. A 24V electric locking device for example, has a tolerance of + -15% which is equivalent to 20,4V. One way of reducing unnecessary power loss is to place the power supply equipment somewhere in the middle of the circuit.
