System reset:
WARNING! This procedure deletes all activated cards and Master Cards automatically; the operation parameters remain memorised.
Show the Master Card three consecutive times (the Led will flash changing continuously from red to yellow). Deletion takes 90 sec.
approximately.
NOTE: after showing a Master Card, the system waits for a subsequent card for 3 seconds, after which it goes back to normal operation.
7) DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
The COMPASS-485 control includes 8 dip-switches, which can be configured to ON - OFF:
The Dip Switches 1-2-3-4-5 allow the setting of the communication address (polling) of the Compass-485 when used with Compass-232 and PC.
For example: all Dip Switches Off = address 0, Dip Switch 1 On only = address 1, Dip Switch 4 On only= address 8, Dip Switch 1+2+5 On= 19.
Only the addresses from 0 to 19 are valid and when connecting several Compass-485 units it is essential that the address be univocal in order
to avoid conflicts (Fig.4).
Dip 1
ON = 1
Dip 2
ON = 2
Dip 3
ON = 4
Dip 4
ON = 8
Dip 5
ON = 16
The table in Fig.5 shows the valid configurations.
The Dip Switches 6 - 7 - 8 are to be used for the generation of the Master cards (see paragraph 5). Upon completion of generation,
they must be reset to OFF.
Dip 6 - Generation of Master Card +
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
Dip 7 - Generation of Master Card -
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
Dip 8 - Generation of Master Card Jolly
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
8) CONNECTION OF PC
The system can be interfaced with a personal computer for the complete monitoring of access (Fig.4).
In this case, the following accessories are required:
COMPASS 232 - PC interface: permits the connection of up to 20 COMPASS-485 to a PC (see diagram Fig.4/Fig6).
Furthermore, Compass 232 has all the same functions as the COMPASS-485 and it is therefore possible to connect a Compass-Reader, as
shown in Fig. 4, without changing the maximum number of installable COMPASS-READERS (20).
NOTE: Connect a 120 Ohm/0.25W resistor to the COMPASS-485 unit further along the line between terminals 8 and 9, as shown in Fig.6.
SECURBASE
- Monitoring software:
-
Increases the number of cards which can be memorised and controlled (subject to the PC memory).
-
Permits the setting of access time (the user can only have access during pre-established periods of time).
-
Permits the setting of access dates (the user can only have access in pre-established days).
-
Anti-passback function. By installing the additional COMPASS-READER/485 unit at the exit, the user is obliged to exit before being allowed
16
to re-enter.
-
Real-time display of access status.
-
Real-time display of data regarding the card's owner.
-
Setting of the parameters related to all of the connected readers.
-
Recording of access events with possibility of subsequent tracing and printing.
-
Control of up to 20 COMPASS-485 units.
The control of cards by Securbase is performed by means of a "system reader" represented by a Compass Reader/485 combination of any
kind set by the software as reader for card insertion into the PC. For practical reasons, it is recommended to use as system reader the Compass
Reader which is closest to the PC station (for example in fig.4 Compass Reader 0).
WARNING: It is important to make sure that the communication address (polling) of each Compass-485 unit is univocal and included
between 0 and 19. Addresses above 19 are not recognised. The presence of two Compass 485 units with the same address causes
software conflicts.
NOTE: When communication between the Securbase and Compass-485 units is interrupted due to a failure or software problem, the stand-
alone functions of the Compass-485 unit are nevertheless active, which means that the access events can always be controlled and the validity
of the cards in the memory be checked. For this to be effective, it is necessary to update the memory of the Compass-485 unit every time
activation or deactivation occurs.
For further information, refer to the Securbase Instructions.
9) MALFUNCTION: CAUSES AND REMEDIES
a) The POW Led is off:
Check if the system is being supplied with power.
b) The reader does not recognise the card:
Make sure that the type of card is correct and that it is enabled.
Check for the presence of power supply (POW Led on) and that the system is wired and configured correctly.
10) MAITENANCE AND SCRAPPING
Maintenance operations on the system must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Dispose of the materials making up the system
and its packing according to the relevant laws in force.
WARNINGS
