    ISSUE 02 1 SCOPE This User Guide specifically covers the installation and programming of CRC200R fitted with firmware version 3.02. For the CRC200S fitted with firmware version 3.02, refer to UG-CRC200S Issue 02. For earlier versions of CRC200, please refer to User Guide UG-CRC200.

  • Page 7: Introduction

    2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Overview The Nortech CRC200R is a two-channel card reader controller that provides the ideal solution to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) companies that require a controller for their card access system. It is ideal both for simple card access systems that control vehicle or personnel movements into and out of car parks or through electronically controlled doors, and for more complex systems requiring time zones, anti-passback, event logging, etc.

    CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Mounting the Unit The CRC200 can be wall-mounted when used indoors or fixed inside a weatherproof housing for outdoor use. Identify a location convenient for cabling while ensuring that the LCD screen and keypad are easily accessible for programming the unit and carrying out diagnostics.

  • Page 10: Power Supply And Cabling Requirements

    Figure 3.1 – CRC200R Connection Diagram 3.2.1 Power Supply The CRC200R must be fed from a suitable power supply that is capable of supplying a voltage between 12 and 24 volts DC (see warning below). The supply current requirements for the unit are100 milliamps quiescent, and 230 milliamps while reading with a passive reader.

    3.6 Free Exit Option On the CRC200R there is a ‘Free Exit’ option for each of the two output relays. This operates such that the momentary application of a ground to the ‘free exit’ pin (marked REX on the diagram) has the same effect as the detection of a valid card at the corresponding reader (i.e.

  • Page 12: Arming And Door Monitoring Options

    The door-monitoring feature can be used if the CRC200R is online to a Norpass2 Access Control Management System. Here, these pins are wired via a door contact such that the pins are short- circuited when the door is closed.

    ISSUE 02 4 PROGRAMMING THE CRC200R Once the CRC200R has been installed and powered up, the next stage is the programming of the operating parameters to match the requirements of the installation. To quickly programme a basic configuration for use with ‘Clock & Data’ cards, simply follow the Quick Set-up Guide supplied with the CRC200R.

    This mode is no longer used. (offline) LINE This mode is used when the CRC200R is to be used as part of a managed network. The basic features are the same as those for offline operation. (online) This mode offers additional time zone options and card access level features while still allowing 2 programmable time zones for door open applications.

Choose the access levels for groups of cardholders based on applicable validity time zones specific to each reader, and add them to the CRC200R (see 5.9 for programming procedure). 3. Add cards and assign the appropriate access levels (see section 5.1.2 for programming procedure).
