Operation 4. 4.1 Operation • In the Operation chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity card depending on the unit you have. • Memory slots can be a proximity card or PIN code depending on the unit you have. Modes of Operation The control units have three modes of operation. These are indicated by the color of the Mode indicator: 4.1.1 Normal Mode (Default) The mode indicator is green. In Normal mode, the door is locked until a valid primary code is presented to the controller.
Operation In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller returns to Normal mode for security reasons. 4.2 User Levels The AC-F4x and AC-G4x series access control units accept up to 500 users and provide entry via the use of codes. Each user is allocated two memory slots: Memory Slot 1 (primary code) and Memory Slot 2 (secondary code).
Operation 4.3 Switching Operational Modes The three modes of operation defined above, can be changed through a few steps. 4.3.1 From Normal to Secure Mode The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838. To change from Normal to Secure mode: 1. Enter the Normal/Secure code. The Mode indicator flashes red. Mode Door Green Mode Door Red 2. Press # to confirm the mode change. The Mode indicator is red.
Operation auxiliary input is selected it de-activates the Norma/Secure mode code (see Section 5.8). 4.3.3 From Normal to Bypass Mode By default, there is no Normal/Bypass code. The Normal/Bypass code must first be programmed to use this function (see Section 5.6 to create/modify the Normal/Bypass code). To change from Normal to By pass mode: 1. Enter the Normal/Bypass code. The Mode indicator flashes orange. Mode Door Green Mode Door Orange 2. Press # to confirm the mode change.
Operation 4.4.1 Auxiliary Input & Output For optimum usability in different applications, the controller’s auxiliary input and output can be configured in 10 different modes of operation (see Section 5.8). 4.4.2 REX Button The REX pushbutton is located within the premises and is used to open the door from the inside. It is usually located in a convenient location, such as next to the door or at a receptionist’s desk.
Operation 4.4.4 Lockout Feature (Keypad/Card Tamper) If the controller is presented with wrong codes, (PIN or Card) consecutively several times the unit goes into lockout mode. When a lockout occurs, the controller keypad and reader are deactivated so no codes can be entered until the set lockout period expires. During Lockout, Mode LED is Off, Door LED flashes Red, and the controller beeps every two seconds. Refer to programming menu 6 for detailed programming of this feature. 4.4.
Programming 5. 5.1 Programming • In the Programming chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity card depending on the unit you have. • When entering a PIN or presenting a proximity card is mentioned, the meaning may vary between units.
