ACCESS CODE FUNCTIONS The P3 controller can provide 100 access codes. Up to 100 access codes can be programmed for each door or channel of the controller. The codes are held in slots or pigeonholes that are numbered 000 through to 099.

Each channel has its own lock time thus either or both channels can be selected to “toggle” or “timed” operation. One channel can be used to open a door, and the other channel used to turn on and off an item of equipment.

PROLONGED DOOR OPEN PDO There are connections on the control unit to allow the monitoring of the door open status. PDO is the amount of time the door may be open before triggering an audible alarm from the control unit. This may be from 0 to 99 seconds.

DURESS ENABLE If the duress feature is turned on, a duress alarm is generated when one enters an access code with the last digit incremented. For example if your access code is “1 2 3 4” then if you enter “1 2 3 5” the door will be released as normal but also the duress alarm output will go active and latch.

CODE CHANNEL TIMER Lock time is the amount of time that the locking device is released. This may be from 0 to 99 seconds. If this value is set to zero, then each time the channel is triggered the relay will “ Toggle” to the opposite state.
PENALTY TIME This feature can slow persons, trying to gain access by using successive codes, down. As soon as an incorrect code is detected at the keyboard this penalty time is invoked, preventing any further access attempts until the timer elapses. The factory set default penalty time is 0 seconds (Disabled). Programming the Penalty Time Enter current Engineer Password ...

INPUT TIME DELAY Some locking devices use monitored handles to generate Request to Exit signals. This allows the system to detect forced door or prolonged door open signals. To ensure that the request to exit signal is received by the controller before the lock-monitoring signal, a small delay can be put on the door monitoring input.
AUTO RELOCK This function is used to control the behaviour of the controller after the door sensor input detects that the door is opened and closed after a valid lock release. If enabled, the door will be automatically locked once the door is closed, effectively shortening the lock release time. Programming Auto Relock Feature Enter current Engineer Password ...

ADDING EVENTS TO BE LOGGED Many types of events can be logged. As well as the obvious card and keyboard transactions, PDO, Door Forced and many more are also logged. Some of these events may not be of interest in your application. So, a feature has been added to allow any event type to added or removed from the logging list.

TWO STAGE LOCK RELEASE INTERVAL When relay B is set for “Two Stage Lock Release” (See E07) this function sets the interval between relay A opening and Relay B opening. A two-digit number from 0 to 99 can be entered. This is multiplied by 10 milliseconds, thus a value of 25 would give a 250mS interval.
The IP address allows the Doors access control software to communicate with the P3.net controller and any P3 controllers connected to the (RS 485) P3 network. The IP address must be fixed and will be assigned by the network manager for the site.

When designing an access control system it is important to make sure that the power supply is not overloaded. The built in power supply of the P1 and P3 range of controllers is capable of providing power for most standard applications. However, there may be situations where additional power supplies are required.

INPUTS Door Push Button RQE DR INPUTS The RQE “Request to Exit” input is used to trigger the lock timers. Generally this is used to provide egress where the locking device does not provide mechanical override such as a magnet. It may allow be used to provide a remote opening button for receptionist’s desk or interfacing to a video or intercom door entry system.

ALARMS This diagram shows the three main ways that alarm devices can be connected to the controller. All the alarm outputs are open collector transistors that switch to 0V when active. Any inductive loads, such as relay coils or electromechanical buzzers should have suitable suppression fitted. A diode is sufficient for a relay coil.

Programming Mode Speaker The P3 controller is capable of giving more informative sounds via this connection. This output is primarily intended to drive an external speaker. However, in practice many buzzers including those on the 2058 and 2040 give a quite reasonable reproduction.

KEYBOARD The keyboard interface allows for code or pin to be used for access control and to allow remote programming of the standalone system. The interface uses a KEYBOARD binary coded decimal (BCD) scheme to reduce the number of connections required.

CARD READERS Reader A, Reader B: Only one reader may be connected to each input. The two reader inputs can be configured to operate as “Card in READER A READER B Card out” or as dual height. See notes on “Dual” in DIP LED 0V CLK DAT 5V 0V CLK DAT 5V switch settings.

INTERLOCKING Interlocking allows two or more doors to work together creating an airlock system. This works by each controller informing others of the door status. This is done using the interlock input and the interlock output. INTERLOCK OUTPUT: This output becomes active if either the Door sensor input is open or the lock output is active.
