Setting The Facility Codes - Secura Key SK-ACPE User & Installation Manual

SK-ACPe
SETTING THE FACILITY (SYSTEM) CODE
When power is first applied, or when the reset button is pushed (see Figure 3) the LED on each of the two readers
will flash red and green alternately. While the LED is flashing, present an Access Card with the proper facility code to
one of the readers and remove it (note LED turns solid green for about 1 second and the beeper beeps to indicate
that the card has been read). The SK-ACPE will "remember" the facility code and retain it until reprogrammed. It
is not necessary to present the access card to the second reader since it is automatically set for both passageways.
After setting the facility code, wait for the LED to stop flashing before attempting to use the reader.
To change a facility code (or to set the facility code if the LED is not flashing red/green), momentarily depress
the reset button. The LED indicator will flash red and green alternately. If the reset button is pushed, but
no card is presented to the reader before the LED indicator times out, the facility code will be unchanged.
In some cases it may be necessary for the unit to recognize more than one facility code. Typical instances
are when it is necessary to read cards that work in two independent locations that already have different
facility codes or when two different reader technologies are used in the same system, each of which has a
different facility code.
The SK-ACPE can be set to recognize up to sixteen different facility codes. To program multiple facility codes,
follow the procedure above for programming a single facility code, but present a card with the second facility
code (and additional facility codes if necessary) to the reader before the red/green LED indicator times out.
Note that it is not generally recommended to combine sets of cards with different facility codes,
because the unit cannot distinguish between access cards having different facility codes and the
same ID number. It is also important to distinguish between ID numbers and the facility code
when programming. See Figure 1 for examples of the numbering location.
For example, if you have two sets of cards numbered 1-100, with facility codes 12345 and 23456, and you
delete cards 1 - 10 from the reader's internal "card list," then cards 1 - 10 with either facility code will be
denied entry at the reader.
