  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The C4 is the latest compact controller from Progeny. C4 can work alone as a combined controller Keypad or Controller RFID reader or both. C4 can also be used with an externally connected Keypad, Reader or Reader-Keypad. The latter allows the role of the C4 to become a programming station or touch sensitive Request to Exit button or both.

  • Page 5: Example Configurations

    Example Configurations C4 Only This is the simplest of the configurations with the C4 mounted on the outside of the access door. A locking device and a power supply are all that need to be added to complete the system.
  • Page 6 C4 as Controller with External RFID Reader In this configuration, the C4 controller is moved to the secure side of the access door. From this position, it can be used for programming as before but also the RFID reader can also be used to provide Credential IN / Credential OUT functionality.
  • Page 7 C4 as Controller with External Keypad & RFID Reader In this configuration, the C4 controller is also moved to the secure side of the access door. In this position, it can be used for programming as before but also the RFID reader can be used to provide Credential In / Out functionality.
  • Page 8 If the locking device is a magnet then a Green Call point is going to be required for emergency egress. The keypad on the C4 is used for programming. The access code can be from 1 to 8 digits in length. This configuration can be used for: •...

  • Page 12: Programming

    Programming The C4 controller is capable of being programmed “Stand-Alone” from the onboard or externally connected Keypad. If planning to use the external keypad then you may need to enable the Star Key from the integral keypad (See engineers function 19).

  • Page 14: Access Code

    Access Code Setting the Access Code User Function 01 The C4 controller has a single access code that can be programmed. The access code can be any number of digits from 1 to 8. This example would set a 4 digit Access Code “1234”.

  • Page 15: Credentials (Cards & Fobs)

    Credentials (Cards & Fobs) Adding Credentials Adding or enabling credentials by entering the Identification Number (ID) can be useful when the credentials themselves are not available or if a large number of credentials need to be added. Single Credential: Note: Some Credentials have a serial number printed on them.

  • Page 18 Lock Release Time Lock time is the amount of time that the locking device is released following a valid Credential or the triggering of the RQE input. This may be from 0 to 99 seconds. If a door sensor is fitted then the auto relock feature means that the lock time will be cut short once the door closes again.
  • Page 19 Penalty Time This feature can slow down persons who are trying to gain access by using successive codes. As soon as an incorrect code is detected at the Keypad this penalty time is invoked, preventing any further access attempts until the timer elapses. Programming the Penalty Time The factory set default penalty time is 0 seconds (Disabled).
  • Page 20 Touch to Exit Function The C4 Controller has a Capacitive sensor over the entire flat front surface. When the controller keypad is used in conjunction with an external keypad or reader or both, it can double up as a “Request to exit button” with a large easy to use surface.
  • Page 21 Lock Drive Mode The electronic lock drive from a C4 controller switches the negative supply to the lock. By default, the output is programmed to drive a “Fail Secure” locking device. Power is only applied to the lock during the lock release time.
  • Page 22 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 This example flow diagram shows the...

  • Page 26 Controller / Reader Brightness Control The C4 Controller has a status light that can be made brighter or darker as the application demands. Mostly the default value is fine. However, in some unsupervised locations, it may attract the attention of vandals and it may be preferable to turn the brightness down to 0.
