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 The control units have three modes of operation.
Operation When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for failsafe operation, the door is constantly unlocked. In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller returns to Normal mode for security reasons. User Levels AC-Q4x series access control units accept up to 500 users and provide entry via the use of codes.
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: Mode Door 1.
Operation The auxiliary input of the controller can also be used to switch the mode of operation from Secure to Normal and vice versa. If the auxiliary input is selected, it de-activates the Norma/Secure mode code (see Section 5.8). 4.3.3 From Normal to Bypass Mode By default, there is no Normal/Bypass code.
Operation Special Operational Features Some installation-specific features are exercised, as required by the system. These features are implemented as shown in Figure 3 through Figure 9. 4.4.1 Auxiliary Input and Output For optimum usability in different applications, the controller’s auxiliary input and output can be configured in ten different modes of operation (see Section 5.8).
(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. Introduction Programming an AC-Q4x series Access Control unit is done solely via the unit’s keypad-driven Programming Menu System.

Programming Changing the Open Code The open code is mainly used as a method to quickly test the Lock Strike relay during installation. The factory 4-digit default setting for the open code is 2580. For security reasons, when the first user is added to the controller or the auxiliary code is changed, the default open code is automatically deleted;...

Programming be activated. The auxiliary input can switch the mode of operation of the controller between Normal and Secure mode. By connecting a switch timer or alarm system output to the auxiliary input, the controller can be automatically switched from Normal mode (during office hours) to Secure mode (after office hours).

Programming matches the condition of the magnetic contact switch; if the door opens, the auxiliary relay opens; if the door closes, the auxiliary relay closes. When a valid code is entered, a countdown for maximum Shunt time, as defined by the auxiliary setting, begins; if the door is not closed before the maximum Shunt time, the alarm is triggered.
Programming 5.8.2.9 Auxiliary Mode 8 Auxiliary input function: Green LED control Auxiliary output activated by: Valid user code, Auxiliary code For example, 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.
Programming Keypad Heater Operation This section is not applicable for AC-Q44 (without keypad heater). The controllers contain a built-in keypad heater. Once the heater circuitry is activated, the heater turns on when the ambient temperature drops to 4±1°C and remains on until the keypad temperature rises to 7(+2 or -1)°C.
Programming 5.10 Setting the Lockout Feature If the controller is presented with wrong codes (PIN or Card) 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. During Lockout, Mode LED is Off, Door LED flashes Red, and the controller beeps every two seconds The default setting for the Lockout Feature is 4000 (Lockout...
Programming 5.11 Backlight and LED Behavior This section is applicable for AC-Q4xHB/SB models only (backlight). The controller allows you to define the way the unit’s Backlight as well as the Mode and Door LEDs work. To define the Backlight and LEDs behavior: Mode Door 1.

Programming 5.12.4 Standard Method for Codes Enrolling To enroll codes using the Standard method: Mode Door 1. Enter Programming mode. Green 2. Press 7 to enter Menu 7. Mode Door The Door indicator turns orange. Orange 3. Enter the 3-digit user slot number into the memory (from 001 to 500) so as to enroll a primary or secondary code.
Programming 5. Enter the code to be assigned as the primary or secondary code for this slot number. If the code entered is valid, the Mode indicator stops flashing and the controller is ready for the next 3-digit slot number (Step 3) or press # to move to the next slot number (Step 4).
Programming 6. Enter the code to be used as the secondary code. If the secondary code is valid, the controller beeps three times and returns to Normal mode. If the secondary code is invalid, the controller produces a long beep and waits for a valid secondary code to be entered. 5.13 Deleting Codes There are two methods to delete primary and secondary codes: a...
