Operation 3. Operation • • 3.1 Note: 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: 3.1.1 • Normal Mode (Default) Mode indicator is green. In normal mode, the door is locked until a valid primary code is presented to the controller.
Operation 3.1.3 • Bypass Mode Mode indicator is orange. In bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on the Lock Strike relays; that is, if the relay is programmed for failsafe operation or fail-secure operation. When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for fail secure operation, the door is locked until the star button (Å) is depressed. When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for failsafe operation, the door is constantly unlocked.
Operation 3.2.2 Secure User A secure user must have a primary and secondary code assigned, and the two codes must not be the same. The secure user can gain access in any mode of operation. In normal mode the secure user must use the primary code to gain entry. In secure mode, the secure user must first enter the primary and then the secondary code, in order to gain entry. 3.2.3 Master User A master user must have identical primary and secondary codes assigned.
Operation 3.3.2 From Secure to Normal Mode The default factory setting for the normal / secure code is 3838. 1) Enter the normal / secure code. Mode Door Red • Mode indicator will flash green. Mode Door Green 2) Depress the # key to confirm the Mode change. • Mode indicator will turn green.
Operation 3.3.4 From Bypass to Normal Mode 1) Enter the normal / bypass code. Mode Door Orange • Mode indicator will flash green. Mode Door Green 2) Depress the # key to confirm the mode change. Mode • Mode indicator will turn green. Door Green 3.4 SPECIAL OPERATIONAL FEATURES Some installation-specific features are exercised, as required by the system. These features are implemented as shown in Figures 4 thru 9. 3.4.
Operation Fail Secure Operation: from the moment the REX pushbutton is depressed, the door will be unlocked until the Lock Strike release time has elapsed. After this time, the door will be locked, even if the REX pushbutton has not been released. Failsafe Operation: from the moment the REX pushbutton is depressed, the door will be unlocked until the REX pushbutton is released. In this case the Lock Strike relay only begins its countdown once the REX pushbutton has been released.
Operation 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. 3.4.5 BL-D40 External Sounder The BL-D40 External Sounder is designed for indoor use only and installed within the secured premises. The Sounder can be powered by a 12 to 24 VDC power supply or by a 16VAC transformer.
