GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The A-100 is a self-contained access control keypad de-
signed for indoor basic access applications.
stainless steel faceplate is designed to mount on a standard
single-gang electrical box. The A-100 operates up to three
outputs (two relays and 1 open-collector transistor) and can
be used to trigger a door strike, an electromagnetic door
lock, or any other relay-activated device. Programming is
performed manually at the keypad, allowing up to 150 indi-
vidual Users, each with their unique User Codes. The A-
100 Series includes the rugged sealed environment A-
100WP (see WI1496) and the waterproof A-100IMWP (see
WI1497) mullion keypad with illuminated keys.
In a typical application, the A-100 will energize one or both
relays upon the keypad entry of a valid User Code. Outputs
1 and 2 are two relays of the three contact Form C type,
and Output 3 is an open collector transistor (terminal la-
beled "OC") that switches "on" (closes with the ground ter-
minal) when energized. The length of time the outputs are
energized (their "activation duration") can be programmed
to between 1 and 99 seconds. A Request-to-Exit button will
momentarily short Output 1 by wiring terminals M and P1
using a normally-open momentary-close switch.
To program the keypad functions you must first perform the
initial startup procedure, then enter Program Mode by
pressing the Master Code at the keypad. Once in Program
Mode, all system functions can be accessed and pro-
grammed. Exit Program Mode to put the keypad (with its
new programming) into use.
