Section 3: Programming the PC4820
Programming of the PC4820 is performed at the PC4010/
4020 control panel in Installer’s Programming mode.
Refer to Section 4 “How to Program” of the PC4010/4020
Installation Manual for instructions.
The following programming sections must be pro-
grammed for each PC4820 enrolled on the system. To
select a module, enter reference number [0011XX] where
“XX” refers to the PC4820 module number.
The control panel will transfer all necessary information
(access codes, scheduling, etc.) to each PC4820 module
whenever one of the following occurs:
1. the main panel is powered up
2. Installer’s Programming is exited (on PC4010/
PC4020 v3.1 and lower systems only)
3. a PC4820 loses and then restores communication
with the control panel
4. a PC4820 is hardware-defaulted
5. a PC4820 is enrolled
6. a downloading session has disconnected.
The data transfer can take up to 2.5 minutes per PC4820
module. When the transfer is completed, all keypads will
beep 16 times. Changes to PC4820 programming will not
take effect until the data transfer is complete.
3.1 Programming Reader Types
Ref # [0011XX00] where XX = PC4820 module #
The PC4820 is capable of supporting different types of
access card readers. The same type of reader must be used
on both doors of an access card module, but different mod-
ules may use different reader types. Enter the 2-digit code
for the reader type you are installing on the selected zone.
00 Polaris 1- Magnetic card reader. 7 Digits with clock
and data.
01 ShadowProx - Extended range proximity reader SH5,
SH6, SH7, SH-VR 32 Bits.
02 Io Prox, 26 bit standard Wiegand reader, HID proxim-
ity readers with non KSF cards.
The default access card reader type is 00 (Polaris 1).
07 InOut Kantech XSF format, 39 bit Wiegand (only on
v3.3 and higher).
NOTE: Use reader type 01 when using Kantech Secure
Format (KSF) devices.
3.2 Reader Options
Ref # [0011XX01] where XX = module #
This section contains the programming for the selected
PC4820. First, you must select which of the two doors to
program. Use the arrow (< >) keys to scroll to either Door
1 or Door 2 and press the [*] key to select. A series of tog-
gle options will be available for each door. Again, use the
arrow (< >) keys to scroll through each option and press
the [*] key to turn the selected option on or off.
The options available for each door are as follows:
• Lock Reversed: If enabled, power will be applied to
lock the door. The lock will remain closed when idle
and will deactivate when a valid access card is used to
open the door. The programming for this option is
dependent on the type of locking device being used.
Check the installation sheet provided with the locking
device to see what is required for power.
If disabled, power will be applied to unlock the door. This
option is for use with “Fail Secure” devices such as elec-
tronic door strikes (default = No).
• Unlock on REX: If enabled, tripping a Request To Exit
device will cause the door to unlock for the programmed
Door Unlock time (see Section 3.4 “Door Times”). If
disabled, tripping the Request To Exit device will not
cause the door to unlock (default = Yes).
• Flash When Arm: If enabled, the armed status of the
assigned partition(s) will be indicated by the light on the
reader assigned to the door. The LED will flash slowly
for the duration of the armed period.
NOTE: The partition(s) to which the door’s zone is
assigned must also be selected in the Arm/Disarm mask
for proper operation of this function.
If disabled, the LED on the access card reader will not
indicate the armed status (default = Yes).
• Relock On Arm: If enabled, a Request To Arm will relock
the door when the arm input is activated. If disabled, a
Request to Arm will not relock the door (default = No).
• Lock On Close: If enabled, a door unlocked by an access
card or by a REX device will lock once the zone is opened
and then closed. If disabled, a door unlocked by an access
card or by a REX device will relock once the zone is
opened (default = No).
• Code Required: If enabled, a valid access code must be
entered at an adjacent keypad in addition to the card swipe
in order for the door to unlock. If disabled, no code will be
required (default = No).
• LED Reversed: If enabled, the normal state of the LED
output on the PC4820 will be an open collector. If dis-
abled, the output’s normal state will be low (default = No).
• Two Readers: If enabled, both “doors” (card readers)
will be assigned to the same zone. This will allow the
PC4820 to control access both into and out of a secured
area at a single access point. The zone and partition
assignment of both doors on the PC4010/4020 must be
the same. (See section 3.5 “Zone Assignment for Access
Doors” and your PC4010/4020 Programming Manual
for information on zone and partition programming).
Any time an access card is presented at one reader to open
the door, the second reader will also allow access. This
will prevent a door forced open event (both lock outputs
will unlock).
Each door can still be programmed to have its own access
levels (allowing the ability to control both entry and exit
permissions for each door on the system), and schedules.
NOTE: This option can only be enabled for Door 1.
If disabled, doors 1 and 2 will have their own zone and
partition assignments (Default = No).
• Door Shunt*: If enabled, when the system gives a user
access, the system will bypass the door’s zone for the
length of the Door Unlock time. If the door is forced
open, the zone will go into alarm (or start an entry
delay). If the door is left open past the Door Open time,
the zone will go into alarm (or start an entry delay). If
the Door Shunt option is disabled, the system will not
bypass the zone that the door is assigned to after giving
a user access (Default = No).
• Unlock Safety*: If enabled, when a door is scheduled to
unlock at a specific time, it remains locked until a user
swipes a valid access card - the system then opens the
door. If disabled, the system will unlock the door at the
scheduled time (Default = No).
