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 In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller returns to Normal mode for security reasons.
Operation 4.1.3 Bypass Mode The left LED is orange. Orange In Bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on whether the controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation or Fail Secure Operation. When the Lock Strike is programmed for Fail Secure Operation, the door is locked until * is pressed.
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 REX Function The REX button is located within the premises and is used to open the door from the inside. It is usually located in a convenient location, such as next to the door or at a receptionist’s desk. The door chime in the BL-D40 (if enabled) does not sound when the REX button is used to open the door.
(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.
