If the unit is connected to a standard access control unit, then it functions as a reader. If the unit is connected to Rosslare's secure application appurtenances such as the PS-A25T, PS-C25T or PS-C25TU, it functions as a secured controller.
AYC-Q64B Standard Upon power-on reset, the AYC-Qx4 searches for the presence of Rosslare's secure application appurtenances. If a secure application appurtenance is detected, then the AYC-Qx4 is automatically configured as a secure access control unit. This is indicated by two short beeps. If the secured controller is not detected, it is automatically configured as a reader, indicated by one short beep.

Reader Functionality Option 4: 4 Keys Binary + Facility Code, 26-Bit Wiegand Buffers 4 keys and outputs keypad data with a three digit facility code like a standard 26-Bit card output. The facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and can be in the range 000 to 255.
Page 22
Reader Functionality Option 5: 1 to 5 Keys + Facility Code, 26-Bit Wiegand Buffers up to 5 keys and outputs keypad data with a facility code like a 26-Bit card output. The facility code is set in Programming Menu number four and can be in the range 000 to 255.
Page 23
Reader Functionality Option 6: 6 Keys BCD and parity bits, 26-Bit Wiegand Sends buffer of 6 keys, adds parity and sends a 26-Bit Binary- Coded Decimal (BCD) message. Each key is a four bit equivalent of the decimal number. The keypad PIN code must be 6 key presses long. On the sixth key press of the 6 digit PIN code, the data is sent across the Wiegand Data lines as a BCD message.

Reader Functionality The MD-P64 interface unit outputs the data received to 7 outputs emulating a keyboard. The interface unit will not affect any data that it receives from the proximity reader whether it is 26-Bit Wiegand or Clock & Data. Key pressed = ASCII Value 0 = '0' ( 0x30 hex ) 6 = '6' ( 0x36 hex )

Controller Functionality Controller Functionality The AYC-Qx4 series can function both as a reader and as a controller. If the unit is connected to Rosslares’ secure application appurtenance, it functions as a controller indicated by two beeps immediately after power-on reset. The lock strike output and Request to Exit input are not located on the AYC-Qx4 unit, eliminating the possibility of unauthorized entry to the restricted area.
Controller Functionality The way in which the two memory slots are programmed determines a user’s access level and also determines the way in which the AYC-Qx4 grants access in its three modes of operation. There are three user levels: Normal User A Normal User only has a Primary Code and is only granted access when the AYC-Qx4 is in Normal or Bypass Mode.
Controller Functionality Modes of Operation The AYC-Qx4 has three modes of operation: Normal Mode Door/Program Mode/Transmit MODE LED is green Green Normal Mode is the default mode. In Normal mode the door is locked until a Primary Code is presented to the controller. Special codes such as Lock Strike Code and Auxiliary Code are active in Normal mode.

Controller Functionality Internal Case and Back Tamper In case the unit is forcibly opened or it is removed from the wall, a tamper event is triggered. A tamper output opens sending a signal to the connected Alarm system (purple wire) the event closes when the tamper is closed (case is re-closed or re-attached to the wall).
REX Button has been released. Secure Application Appurtenances Rosslares’ secure application appurtenances are designed for use with Rosslare's secured series stand alone access control units, including AYC-Qx4. It is designed to operate indoors and installed within the secured premises.
Controller Functionality Programming the AYC-Qx4 Programming the AYC-Qx4 is done solely via the unit's keypad driven Programming Menu System. To reach the Programming Menu System the AYC-Qx4 must first be placed into Programming mode. See Entering Programming Mode on page 36 for more information.

In auxiliary mode 8, the controller can function as a two-door controller and also provide indicator functionality control. The auxiliary relay is connected to the lock on the second door.
Controller Functionality Setting the Lockout Feature In case the controller is presented with wrong codes, consecutively several times the unit goes into lockout mode. When a lockout occurs, the controller keypad and reader are locked so no codes can be entered until the set lockout period expires.
Controller Functionality Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes Primary Codes • Primary Codes can only be enrolled to an empty User Slot, i.e. a slot where there is no existing Primary Code. • Primary Codes must be unique, i.e. one user’s Primary Code may not be the same as other users Primary Code.
