ACCELATERM DESCRIPTION
The Accelaterm is a fully programmable, self contained,
8/16* door access control panel that offers users flexibility,
expandability, and simplicity. Operating as a stand-alone
unit or within a network, each Accelaterm makes inde-
pendent access control
decisions.
The Accelaterm accepts
Wiegand,
Magnetic
Stripe (not evaluated by
UL),
Proximity
card
readers, and Wiegand-
Format Keypads to con-
trol the access functions
for as many as sixteen
individual access points
(entrances/exits).
All
inter-connected devices
must be UL Listed.
Contact Continental In-
struments with ques-
tions regarding the sup-
port or compatibility of any specific readers and keypads.
At the Reader Connector for each door, two supervised in-
puts are provided for door contact sensors, door bypass
switches, or related detection accessories. Seventeen on-
board Form-C relays support door locking mechanisms,
door alarm shunts or handicapped access privileges.
The standard Accelaterm features a user-programmable,
onboard database that supports a maximum of 150,000
card holders. Expansion memory Modules enable the Ac-
celaterm to support as many as 590,000 card holders with
two 8MB memory expansion modules installed.
Note: Card Capacities can vary due to changes in Firm-
ware, Badge Length and Panel Configuration (Transaction
buffer size, Time Schedule Blocks, and Access Groups).
Maximum Card Count can be verified by checking Com-
munication Driver (Max Card Count column).
The Accelaterm functions for a period of 3.5 hours at full
load when two 12V / 12 amp-hour (AH) batteries are util-
ized in the event of an AC power supply loss.
A switch on the Accelaterm power supply selects between

built-in overcurrent protection, this Access Control panel
meets the requirements for Energy-Limited installations.
In addition, a replaceable lithium battery protects the on-
board database and programmed operating instructions
from loss for a period of 4 weeks. In the event of a total
failure of the AC power supply and the backup battery, the
Accelaterm would immediately be ready for full operating
capability once a source of operating power is reestab-
lished. Note: Green AC indicator on front door is lit
when AC power is present.
A maximum of 63 Accelaterm access control panels may
be networked together. Note that the Continental Super-
term and Turbo Superterm control panels may be included
in this network if they are equipped with the Continental
Accelerator Board (CICP18ACCBD). Note that the Conti-
nental Smarterm, Miniterm, and Microterm control panels
should not be included in this network, because that would
reduce the data rate to match the lower speed of the legacy
products.
Each Accelaterm may communicate with its own plug-in
Ethernet Connection.
board allows communication on a high speed Repeater
Network.
By plugging in both the Ethernet and the
CICP2800RS485BD boards, an Accelaterm can be config-
ured as a bridge between a Host Computer Ethernet con-
nection and downstream Accelaterms on the high-speed
EIA/TIA-485 Network.
A single host computer may be used to manage and pro-
gram one Accelaterm or a fully developed network of Ac-
celaterms, saving equipment and installation costs, data-
base entry/deletion procedures, and monitoring individual
access usage.
Changes or upgrades to the Accelaterm operating software
are readily downloadable from the host computer to either
one specific Accelaterm or an entire network of Access
Control panels, eliminating the need to physically change
the EPROM chip inside the unit. The operating software is
securely stored in the processor's FLASH memory, and
therefore power interruptions have no effect. Using a typi-
cal modern server, upgrades to the operating software to a
panel can be accomplished.
