Check Controller Operation
Verify controller operation using the steps appropriate for your controller type
(Magnetic Card or keypad). If the system does not operate properly, see Trouble-
shooting, at the end of the section.
Magnetic Card Check
If your system has a magnetic card controller (mag card), default Programmer
ID cards are supplied with the software. You will need these cards when you are
ready to sign on the controllers.
To perform a magnetic stripe card verification:
1 Determine if the magnetic card type is Track 2 or Track 3.
2 Select the default Programmer ID card that matches the type for your magnetic
card controller.
3 Insert and remove the magnetic card. The magnetic stripe on the card should
be aligned with the ‘V’ mark by the card slot. The lights on the top of the Con-
troller will flash green once and unlock, then during the open delay time, it will
flash green five times. Once this occurs, the card controller light will flash red
and lock.
4 While unlocked, check for proper lock operation.
Keypad Check
If your Controller is a keypad type, perform the following steps:
1 At the keypad, enter the default Programmer ID, 1234#. The green light on top
of the card controller will flash once and the lock will unlock, then during the
open delay time, it will flash green five times. Once this occurs, the controller
red light will flash and the lock will relock.
2 While unlocked, check for proper lock operation.
