In this chapter you will learn about all the features that are programmable without the use of the PC software. They are the basic features of the AC-115 and can be programmed directly from the controller’s programming keypad. You will learn about the controller’s various modes of operation, how to switch between the Modes of Operation, Special Codes, Events and Event Actions.
Features and Concepts 3.2 Modes of Operation The AC-115 has three modes of operation: Normal, Bypass, and Secure Mode. The three modes provide different levels of security. Normal Mode Mode Door Green • The Mode LED is green In Normal Mode, both the In Reader (the reader that is installed outside the premises) and the Out Reader (the reader that is installed inside the premises) are functioning.
• Mode LED will turn red Mode Door You are now in Secure Mode Changing from Secure Mode to Normal Mode 1. The controller is in Secure Mode Mode Door • Mode LED is red Page 17 AC-115 Hardware Installation and User's Guide...

For instance, placing a valid code at the reader at the right time is an Event, and the Valid Code Event may trigger the Lock Strike Output to activate an Event Action. In this section, you will learn about the AC-115’s Events and the Event Actions those Events cause. Monitor Event The Monitor Event is triggered when the Door Monitor Switch has been activated, i.e.
A Lock Strike Code Event occurs when the Lock Strike Code is entered using one of the two readers or via the controller’s programming keypad. Possible Lock Strike Code Event Actions Lock Strike Output Activation (Programmable Lock Strike Release Time) AC-115 Hardware Installation and User's Guide Page 20...
Employee Code is entered using one of the two readers or via the controllers programming keypad.

After reading Chapter 3 - Features and Concepts, you should already have an understanding of the AC-115’s features. Most of these features can be programmed via the AC-115’s programming keypad. The following pages describe how to program the AC-115 using the programming keypad.
Programming Instructions 4.2 Entering Programming Mode To begin programming the controllers’ settings, the AC-115 must first place into Programming Mode. You may only enter Programming mode from Normal and Bypass modes, the controller does not permit entry to Programming Mode if the controller is in Secure Mode.
