2 INITIALIZATION

Your Aiphone -XP series proximity-equipped station has been shipped from the factory in „Sleep mode‟.
Before it can be operated or programmed in any way it must first be initialized to recognize the XRP3
remote programmer and master card set provided in your XP-KIT starter kit. The following steps
should be carefully followed to ensure proper setup of the reader.

2.1 ASSIGNING THE XRP3 REMOTE PROGRAMMER –

1

When powered on
for the first time, the

reader is in „Sleep

mode‟.

5

The reader has now been returned
to „Sleep mode‟, awaiting
configuration of the master cards.

Cycle power (turn off / on) at this
time to complete the process.

2

Present and remove
the XRP3 Remote
Programmer.

Note: Be sure that the LEDs lit on the -XP series card reader
match those shown in step (4) before proceeding. If they do not

match, simply repeat the presenting of the XRP3 and key entry of the
sleep mode command as shown in step (4). Be sure that you see not
only LED1 (yellow) flashing while the XRP3 is held against the reader
but also that you hear audible confirmation of both the presenting of
the keypad in addition to each key press.

3 BASIC OPERATIONS

3.1 GENERAL OPERATION & PROGRAMMING TIPS:

When „presenting‟ credentials to the reader, a

successful „read‟ should be indicated by visual

lighting of LED1 (Yellow) and an audible beep
(dependant upon function). Try not to block the
buzzer opening, otherwise it may be difficult to
hear audible notifications.

When performing operations with the XRP3 Remote Programmer, be sure to hold the XRP3 against
the reader, and that LED 1 (Yellow) is flashing. Each keypress will be confirmed by an audible
„beep‟.

(wait 1 second)

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

0 #

*

For all operations and programming steps, a
one (1) second delay should be given
between the presentation of cards or
credentials. A lesser delay will not give an
audible confirmation. If an audible
confirmation is not heard, simply pause and
present the card or credentials again.

Buzzer

All credentials (including Master cards and the XRP3
Remote Programmer) have a unique 9-digit ID number
printed on them. These should be carefully logged and
stored in a safe location should the need ever arise to

XRP3

remove a user or function card. A blank Log Sheet
template is included (see Pg. 22) to facilitate this. Be
sure to document the credential‟s access level, as well
as additional notes (Master status, access level, etc.).

In some instances (especially multi-door applications), it may be practical to pre-program the
Master cards and Remote Programmer prior to physical installation of the AX-DVF-XP / AX-DV­XP. Programming and configuration are done independently for each reader in the system.
Always be sure to follow the „Getting Started‟ guide (section 6 of this manual) when initially
setting up a new door station with reader.

Pg. 6

3 BASIC OPERATIONS (continued)

If an error occurs ( ) during any operation or
step of a programming function, the reader will
revert to „Standby‟ mode.

If an error occurs while programming, begin that
programming function from the first step
(standby).

If an error occurs during normal operation, verify
that the reader is in the expected mode
(standby, night lock, etc.), and that the

for the duration of the door
release closure.

3

After the door release timer
completes, the reader will
return to „Standby‟.

Note: If the credential(s) being presented are not present in the reader‟s memory, an error tone ( )
will sound, and the system will be returned to standby mode.

3.2.2 With the XRP3 Remote Programmer –

Once associated with the -XP reader, XRP3 Remote Programmer is capable of operating the reader‟s
door release contact using the following method.

controlled access mode,
simply present the Lock /
Unlock master card again.

3.4 TOGGLING NIGHT LOCK MODE

3.4.1 With the Night Lock master card –

The -XP reader is equipped with a special „Night Lock‟ mode which can be used to restrict access to
those users only who have Level 2 (Special user) or Level 3 (Night user) credentials. Presenting a Level
1 user credential will result in an error tone ( ). Typical use of this function would be for sites desiring
one level of user access during business hours, while allowing only certain users access outside of these
hours.

4 BASIC PROGRAMMING

The basic programming functions of the Aiphone -XP series proximity card reader can be accomplished
using solely the Master function cards. Each of the following functions can be easily performed by the
end user with minimal training.

4.1 ADDING USER CREDENTIALS (LEVEL 1) BY PRESENTATION –

4.1.1 With the Add master card –

This process will add blank user credentials to the reader‟s memory, allowing them entry control under
normal „Standby‟ access conditions. For information on adding credentials for Level 2 (Day & Night) or

Level 3 (Night only) access, see Sections 5.1 and 5.2 under Advanced Programming.

memory (or invalid type), an error ( ) will sound, and the system will be returned to standby mode.
Begin again at step 1 to resume adding credentials.

4.2 VOIDING USER CREDENTIALS BY PRESENTATION (ANY ACCESS LEVEL) –

4.2.1 With the Void master card –

This process will void (remove) user credentials from the reader‟s memory, regardless of access level,
preventing them from accessing the controlled entry. Note: If the credential to remove is not available,
follow the process shown in Section 5.3 – Voiding Credentials by ID number.

(or of higher level, such as a Program master), an error ( ) will sound, and the system will be
returned to standby mode. Begin again at step 1 to resume voiding credentials.

4.3 SETTING THE DOOR RELEASE TIMER –

4.3.1 With master cards –

When shipped from the factory, the reader is pre-programmed with a 3-second door release timer. This
process will allow the user to change the duration of door release (between 1 – 255 seconds). Note:
This duration applies to all credentials, regardless of access level (1, 2 or 3). This process can also be
accomplished using XRP3 Remote programmer (See Section 5.3 under Advanced Programming).

The reader will return to
Standby mode.

Note: It is not necessary to enter leading zeros (e.g., „005‟ instead of „5‟). Entering a number outside of
the valid range (1 to 255) will result in an error ( ). This release duration applies to any function
which would trigger the -XP reader‟s contact output (egress input, credential access, etc.).

5 ADVANCED PROGRAMMING

Though the most functionality can be accomplished via the -XP reader‟s Basic Programming methods
(shown in Section 4) there are many other features and capabilities which are available to be utilized.
These functions and settings should only be performed by users already familiar with the Aiphone -XP
reader‟s basic operations and programming.

Please thoroughly read each step before performing it on the -XP reader; certain operations
cannot be undone, or may cause accidental loss of user data if performed in error or by accident!

5.1 ADDING SPECIAL USER CREDENTIALS (LEVEL 2) BY PRESENTATION –

5.1.1 With the Add master card –

This process will add blank user credentials to the reader‟s memory with Special User (Level 2) access,
allowing them entry control under both normal ‘Standby’ and ‘Night Lock’ access conditions. For
information on adding credentials for Level 3 (Night only) access, see Section 5.2 under Advanced
Programming.

5.5 CREATING ADDITIONAL / REPLACEMENT MASTER CARDS –

Your XP-KIT programming starter kit was shipped with a set of XMMC3/9 master cards for use as master
cards. There may, however, be instances where multiple master cards of any given type may be
desired; blank credentials may be „promoted‟ to master functionality utilizing the procedures in this
section.

Note: Credentials promoted to master functionality are dedicated to that function, and cannot share
other abilities (such as normal access control ability, or other master functionality). Only blank /
unassigned credentials can be promoted to master functionality. If multiple functionality is desired,
additional XRP3 remote programmers may be added as well (see Section 5.6).

Forced Entry
Sensor Input is
triggered!

The Forced Entry alarm output (Grey/Pink wire) will be
activated, and LED2 (green) will blink and be accompanied by
an alternating alarm tone.

5.7 ADDING CREDENTIALS BY ID NUMBER –

In some cases, it may be necessary to add or re-enter users and master cards using only the ID-number
of the credentials (particularly after accidental removal or batch removal of credentials). Using the XRP3
remote programmer, any type of credential can be added. Consult the following table to determine the
„level‟ desired for the credential to be added, then follow the instructions below.

The credential (or XRP3) has now been entered into the -XP series reader‟s memory, at the indicated
level, and the reader will return to „standby‟ mode. If an error ( ) occurs at any point during this
process, ensure that the credential (or XRP3) is not already in the reader‟s memory, and begin again at
step 1.

Note: It is not necessary to enter leading zeros (e.g., „05‟ instead of „5‟).

5.8 BATCH CREDENTIAL REMOVAL –

In certain instances it may be necessary to delete large batches from the -XP series reader to maintain a
secure access environment. This is particularly true when a credential or programmer is lost, but the 9­digit ID-number was not written down for reference. The two methods of batch credential removal
described in this section will remove all credentials (including programmers) at or below a specified level.

Please Note: These two functions are 100% irrevocable once performed. Please read the
directions for each method carefully and be sure that the result will be as desired. If all
programmers and program master cards are removed, system usability can only be restored by
following the recovery procedure shown in Section 6 under Troubleshooting.

5.8.1 BATCH CREDENTIAL REMOVAL WITH MASTER CARDS–

This procedure will remove a batch of credentials from the -XP series reader‟s memory at or below the
level of a presented credential. Carefully consult the Void Level chart below to determine which
credential should be presented, and what range of levels that credential will void.

the desired voiding level.

Warning: this operation
CANNOT be undone!

The reader will then be
returned to standby, the
credentials having been
voided.

If a Program master card is presented in step 4, all credentials will be removed from the reader‟s
memory, and the reader will be returned to the „User Sleep‟ mode. The user must then follow the
Initialization instructions (found in Section 2) to re-assign an XRP3 remote programmer and Master Card
set and resume normal system usability.

5.8.2 BATCH CREDENTIAL REMOVAL WITH XRP3 REMOTE PROGRAMMER–

This procedure will remove a batch of credentials from the -XP series reader‟s memory at or below the
entered level. Carefully consult the Void Level chart above to determine which number level should be
entered.

initialization sequence found in Section 2!

Problem: Cannot program the -XP reader using the XRP3 Remote Programmer
Cause: The XRP3 is either not associated with the -XP series reader in question, or is being used

incorrectly.
Solution: Verify whether the XRP3 is associated with the -XP reader by presenting it. If LED7 (red)

lights, and is accompanied by a single or double beep, the XRP3 is already recognized by the -XP
reader, indicating correct association. Consult the Section 3.1 for general programming tips.

If presenting the XRP3 to the -XP reader causes an error tone ( ), the XRP3 is not correctly
associated with the -XP reader. Use the following procedure to associate the XRP3 with the -XP
reader.
