Operation Operation • 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.
Operation Fail Secure Operation, the door is locked until the star button (*) is pressed. When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation, the door is constantly unlocked. In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller returns to Normal mode for security reasons.
Operation Switching Operational Modes The three modes of operation defined above can be changed through a few steps. 4.3.1 From Normal to Secure Mode The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838. To change from Normal to Secure mode: 1.
Operation 4.3.3 From Normal to Bypass Mode By default, there is no Normal/Bypass code. The Normal/Bypass code must first be programmed to use this function (see Section 5.7 to create/modify the Normal/Bypass code). To change from Normal to By pass mode: 1.
Operation The function of the REX button depends on the Lock Strike relay, whether it is programmed for failsafe or for fail secure operation. Fail Secure Operation From the moment the REX button is pressed, the door is unlocked until the Lock Strike Release time has elapsed.
(opened or removed from the wall). The length of the siren can also be programmed in the controller. The controller communicates with the BL-D40 via a Rosslare proprietary protocol. If the BL-D40 receives an unrecognized code over its communication line or communications between the controller and the BL-D40 are severed, the strobe flashes repeatedly, until the communication problem has been resolved.
Programming Programming • In the Programming chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity card depending on the unit you have. • When entering a PIN or presenting a proximity card is mentioned, the meaning may vary between units. Programming is done solely via the unit’s keypad-driven Programming Menu System.

Programming Setting Fail Safe/Secure Operation, Tamper Siren and Lock Strike Release Time The default value is 0004, which corresponds to Fail Secure operation, no siren, and 4-seconds Lock Strike release time. To set the Fail Safe/ Secure Operation, Tamper Siren and Lock Strike Release Time: 1.
Programming Setting Auxiliary Modes The default auxiliary setting is 2004. Auxiliary Relay activation is subject to the user’s Auxiliary code assignment (excluding Shunt, which is activated by all users). For more details, see Section 5.15. To set Aux iliary modes: 1.

Programming opens, the auxiliary relay opens; if the door closes, the auxiliary relay closes. When a valid code is entered, a countdown for maximum Shunt time, as defined by the auxiliary setting, begins; if the door is not closed before the maximum Shunt time, the alarm is triggered. 5.9.7 Auxiliary Mode 6 Auxiliary input function: Door Monitor...
Programming 5.9.9 Auxiliary Mode 8 Auxiliary input function: Green LED control Auxiliary output activated by: Valid user code, Auxiliary code For example, in Auxiliary Mode 8, the controller can function as a 2-door controller and also provide indicator functionality control. The auxiliary relay is connected to the lock on the second door.
Programming 5.10 Keypad Heater Operation This section is not applicable for AC-Q44 (without keypad heater). The controllers contain a built-in keypad heater. Once the heater circuitry is activated, the heater turns on when the ambient temperature drops to 4±1°C and remains on until the keypad temperature rises to 7(+2 or -1)°C.

Programming controller beeps every two seconds. The default setting for the Lockout Feature is 4000 (Lockout Disabled). Using the lockout feature is highly recommended, especially when selecting to use short PIN code length (4 or 5 digits). To define the Lockout feature: Mode Door 1.
Programming 5.12 Setting the Backlight Behavior This section is applicable for AC-Q4xHB/SB models only (backlight). The controller allows you to define the way the unit’s backlight works. To set the backlight behavior: 1. Enter Programming mode. Press 6 to enter Menu 6. The left LED flashes green.
Programming 5.13.2 Secondary Codes Definition Secondary codes can only be enrolled to a user slot that already includes a primary code. A secondary code need not be unique; for instance, one user’s Secondary code may be the same as that of another user. ...

Programming 3. Enter the 3-digit user slot number between 001and 500 for the slot to which you wish to enroll a Primary or Secondary code. For example, User Slot 003 represents User #3. If the selected slot has no Primary code, the left LED flashes green, indicating that the Gree Orange controller is ready to accept a Primary code.
Page 48
Programming 5.13.3.2 Enrolling Secondary Codes using the Code Search Method The code search method enables to quickly enroll a secondary code for a user whose primary code is known and whose slot number is unknown. To enroll secondary codes using the Code Search method: 1.
Programming 5. Perform one of the following: Enter the PIN code to be used as the Secondary code. Present the user card to be used as the Secondary code. If the Secondary code is valid, the controller beeps three times and returns to Normal mode.
Programming The left LED flashes red indicating the controller is waiting for the Programming code Red Orange to confirm the deletion. If the user slot is empty, you hear a long beep and the unit returns to Normal mode. 4. Enter your 4-digit Programming code to confirm the deletion.
Programming 4. Perform one of the following: Enter the PIN code of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. Present the user card of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. The left LED flashes red.

Programming 4. Do one of the following: Enter the PIN code of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. Present the user card of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. The left LED flashes green.
Programming 5.16 Changing PIN Code Length/Factory Default Settings You must be very careful before using this command! Changing the PIN code length also erases the entire memory contents, including all user and special codes, and returns all codes to their factory default settings. To change PIN code length: 1.
Programming 5.17 Replacing a Programming Code The controller must be in Normal mode for the procedure to work. Ensure that the Mode indicator is green before proceeding. To replace a Programming code: 1. Remove power from the controller. 2. Press and hold the REX button. 3.
