SK-ACP Installation & Operating Manual
INTRODUCTION
he SK-ACP Advanced Control Panel is a highly sophisticated, yet simple to use, two door access control
unit. The unit accepts readers of almost any technology, with a Wiegand output up to 40 bits, including
T
passageways controlled by the unit is completely independent of the other and is configured, programmed and
viewed separately.
Up to 100 SK-ACP Panels may be linked together on a twisted pair (plus signal ground) RS-485 bus. When used
with SK-NET™ software, a highly featured, easy to use, distributed intelligence access control system can be
created.
Each of the two passageways controlled by the SK-ACP has two programmable inputs which may be programmed
by the user to function as a Door Monitor, Tamper Monitor, Remote Open, Remote Inactive, Bell, Arming Circuit, or
User Defined Input.
Each of the two passageways controlled by the SK-ACP has two outputs. One output is the Relay that operates
the door operating device. The other output is programmable by the user to activate under one of several possible
alarm or special conditions.
SK-ACP will control access for up to 65,535 individuals in 15 weekly time schedules (Time Zones) independently
for each of the two passageways. Time Zones include a holiday schedule that is followed when one of the 32 user
programmable holidays occur.
Proximity, Touch Card, Wiegand, Magnetic Stripe, Bar Code, Optical, and Biometric. Each of the two
Certain Access Cards may be designated as “Limited Use” cards, and their use may be restricted to allow access
for a given number of days or weeks or for a given number of times.
The SK-ACP may be programmed with a terminal or PC. Transaction information is stored by the unit and may be
downloaded to a terminal, PC, or serial printer. Up to 4,864 transactions are stored.
Since the SK-ACP has nonvolatile memory, reprogramming after a power loss is unnecessary.
CARD ID NUMBERS AND FACILITY CODES
Access cards used with the SK-ACP have two encoded numbers: the ID number which is different on each card,
and the Facility Code, (also called a system or site code) which is normally the same for all cards at a given site.
When a card is read, the system first verifies the Facility Code, then it checks the ID Number against its internal
“card list” in memory to see if the card is void or valid. It also checks the Time Zone, the card’s Antipassback
status, and the Limited Use count.

SETTING THE FACILITY (SYSTEM) CODE
IMPORTANT
Before programming or using a new unit,
the correct Facility Code must be set.
When power is first applied, or when the reset button is pushed (see Figure 3) the LED on each of the two readers will
flash red and green alternately. While the LED is flashing, present an Access Card with the proper facility code to one
of the readers and remove it (note LED turns solid green for about 1 second and the beeper beeps to indicate that the
card has been read). The SK-ACP will “remember” the facility code and retain it until reprogrammed. It is not necessary
to present the access card to the second reader since it is automatically set for both passageways. After setting the
facility code, wait for the LED to stop flashing before attempting to use the reader.
To change a facility code (or to set the facility code if the LED is not flashing red/green), momentarily depress the
reset button. The LED indicator will flash red and green alternately. If the reset button is pushed, but no card is
presented to the reader before the LED indicator times out, the system code will be unchanged.
In some cases it may be necessary for the unit to recognize more than one
facility code. Typical instances are when it is necessary to read cards that
work in two independent locations that already have different facility codes
or when two different reader technologies are used in the same system,
each of which has a different facility codes.
The SK-ACP can be set to recognize up to sixteen different facility codes.
To program multiple facility codes, follow the procedure above for
programming a single facility code, but present a card with the second
facility code (and additional facility codes if necessary) to the reader before
the red/green LED indicator times out.
Note that it is not generally recommended to combine sets of cards
with different facility codes, because the unit cannot distinguish
between access cards having different facility codes and the same
ID number.
For example, if you have two sets of cards numbered 1-100, with facility codes
12345 and 23456, and you delete cards 1 - 10 from the reader’s internal “card
list,” then cards 1 - 10 with either facility code will be denied entry at the reader.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO TOUCH CIRCUIT BOARD OR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS PRIOR
TO AND DURING INSTALLATION TO AVOID ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) DAMAGE.
INSTALLING THE SK-ACP
1. Select a location for the SK-ACP unit that is secure and sheltered from weather and extreme humidity. Choose
a location that facilitates access to power and is reasonably close to the doors that are to be controlled (no
further than 500 feet).
2. Using the unit as a template, mark on the mounting surface the location of the four mounting holes.
3. Install appropriate mounting hardware (anchors, retainers, etc.) to the mounting surface if necessary.
4. Screw #6 or #8 mounting screws into the top 2 mounting holes of the mounting surface, leaving about 1/4”
clearance.
5. Place panel top key-way mounting holes over installed mounting screws and slide panel down.
6. Tighten top mounting screws.
7. Install two bottom mounting screws (see figure 2).
8. Route cables into the enclosure through
knockouts in sides or back of box, being
careful not to nick or scrape insulation
on any rough edges.

SK-ACP Installation & Operating Manual
POWER & BATTERIES
The SK-ACP unit must be connected to a source of low voltage power. The SK-ACP should NOT be connected to
the same power supply that is providing power to an electric lock or strike. We recommend that you use the
Secura Key SK-ACP-PS, which includes a 24 VDC, 500 mA transformer and a 12VDC, 1.9AH standby battery, to
power the SK-ACP.
Terminals 7 & 8 on plug “J7” must be connected to 16.5 to 24 volts, AC or DC. You may also connect the SK-ACP
to 12 VDC, but in this case you must connect your power supply to the red (+) and black (-) wire leads on the lower
left corner of the panel instead of the “J7” plug. If you use 12 VDC you cannot install a standby battery in the SK-ACP.
When 16.5 – 24 volts is used to power the SK-ACP, you may connect the red and black wires to a 12 volt standby
battery. Polarity (+/-) must be observed. The standard SK-ACP has space for a small (1.9AH) battery, while the
10” X 11” SK-ACP-LE can accommodate larger batteries. A battery up to 4.5 Amp-hours can be connected to each
SK-ACP.
Do not energize the SK-ACP until all other connections are made.
READERS
SK-ACP is designed to accept any reader or keypad with a standard Wiegand interface. The reader for door #1 is
connected to plug “J5”, the reader for door #2 is connected to plug “J6”. (See figure 3) SUGGESTED CABLE IS
Eastman 725-5720 SJ. The SK-ACP will provide up to 150mA to power each reader. If the readers you use require
more current, an external power supply must be used.
INPUTS
Each reader may be associated with up to two auxiliary inputs. Inputs might include remote switches, door contact
sensors, vehicle presence detectors, etc. If you connect inputs to the SK-ACP you must define those inputs using
SK-NET™ software (see SK-NET™ manual, section 5.31). Note that input 1 (#7) and input 2 (#9) share a common
terminal (#8) on plugs “J1” and “J2”. All inputs are configured as normally open circuits. However, in many cases a
“Door Monitor” input should be a normally closed circuit. To convert any input defined as “Door Monitor” to normally
closed, disconnect power from the panel, remove the jumper from pins 3 and 4 in the J9 expansion slot and place
the jumper on pins 4 and 5. Restore power to the panel and test the “Door Monitor” input.
OUTPUTS
Each door controlled by the SK-ACP has two double pole, double throw relays associated with it. The “latch
relays” are located on “J1” and “J2”, terminals 1-6. The “auxiliary relays” are located on “J3” and “J4”. One pole of
the latch relay is typically used to open or close a circuit to unlock a door or activate a gate operator. The other
pole of the latch relay operates simultaneously and may be used to shunt an alarm contact, start a video recorder,
etc. The auxiliary relay may operate according to a variety of user-defined conditions. These must be

programmed using SK-NET™ software (see SK-NET™ manual, section 5.33) NOTE: Two MOVs (metal-oxide varistors) are provided with each SK-ACP. These must be installed between the “Common” and either the “Normally Open”
or the “Normally Closed” terminals where power to the electric lock or strike is being switched (See Figures 6 and 7).
You may connect RS-232 communications to the SK-ACP either by using plug “J7”, terminals 1-5, or by plugging
into the RJ11 jack in the center of the circuit board. (See figure 3) RS-232 requires at least 5-conductor cable.
SUGGESTED CABLE IS Belden 6304FE. RS-232 is used to connect the COM port of a p.c. to a single SK-ACP,
or as a gateway to a network of SK-ACPs. (COM ports are typically DB9 male or DB25 male jacks on the back of
a personal computer.) When connecting a p.c. via RS-232 the distance from the panel to the computer should not
exceed 100’. (For longer distances, see “RS-485” below.) A serial printer may also be connected to the RS-232
port of any SK-ACP. This will allow all system transactions to be printed as they occur. (A printer may be
connected to one SK-ACP even if a computer is connected to another SK-ACP in the same network.) An
external modem might also be connected to the RS-232 port of an SK-ACP for dial-up applications using
SK-NET-MLD software. While any Hayes compatible 56K modem may be used, we highly recommend
that you use the Secura Key SK-MDM. The SK-ACP contains the configuration data, or “setup string”
which allows this modem to be configured in the field without the use of a computer and without setting
DIP switches. (See Appendix C for modem instructions.) Figure 5 shows the RS-232 pin connections for
a p.c., printer, or modem. WARNING: Never connect a telephone line directly to the RJ11 jack on an SK-ACP!

RS-485
The RS-485 bus is used to link multiple SK-ACP units into a network. Where two or more SK-ACPs are linked,
you must run cable between the “J8” plugs on each panel. Terminals 1 & 2 must be a twisted pair of wires.
SUGGESTED CABLE IS Belden 1585A. Terminal 3, if used, may be connected to one conductor of another
twisted pair. (Terminal 3 is a “signal ground”. If used, this must be an insulated conductor and it should NOT be
connected to earth ground.)
Where the distance from the p.c. to any one of the SK-ACP units is greater than 100’, you may install an RS-232
to RS-485 converter (Secura Key p/n NET-CONV-P) to the COM port of the computer. From the converter you then
run RS-485 cable and connect it anywhere along the RS-485 bus. The total RS-485 cable distance, including the
distance between all SK-ACPs, may be up to 4000’.
Figure 8 shows how each SK-ACP is connected to the RS-485 bus.
Earth Grounded Shield is highly recommended in environments subject to high voltage electrical discharge (ie.
lightning). Shield should be connected to earth ground only at one end of the cable. DC Signal Ground may be
necessary in networks with very long wire runs. DC Ground wire is NOT to be connected to earth ground.

READERS AND CARDS
USING SK-ACP WITH SECURA KEY PROXIMITY READERS AND CARDS
Secura Key offers proximity readers in a variety of sizes for use with the SK-ACP panel. Secura Key proximity
readers read Secura Key cards only. Secura Key proximity cards have two encoded numbers: the ID Number
which is different on each card, and the Facility Code (also called a system or site code) which is normally the
same for all cards at a given site. When a card is read, the system first verifies the Facility Code, then it checks
the ID Number against its internal “card list” to see if the card is void or valid. It also checks the card’s Antipassback Status, Time Zone and Limited Use count.
ORDERING ADDITIONAL CARDS FOR YOUR SYSTEM
The SK-ACP can learn up to 16 different facility codes, but it is not generally recommended that you combine sets of
cards with different Facility Codes in the same system. The SK-ACP cannot distinguish between cards which have
different Facility Codes and the same ID Number. For example, if you have a card with Facility Code A1 and ID
Number 15 and you have a card with Facility Code B2 and ID Number 15, and the SK-ACP has been programmed to
accept both Facility Codes, it will see these as the same card.
When ordering additional cards it is recommended that you place a factory order specifying the existing Facility Code
and beginning with the ID Number which is one higher than the highest card already in use.
SETTING THE FACILITY CODE
When power is first applied to the SK-ACP the LED on each of the connected readers will flash alternately Red and
Green. While the LED is flashing, hold an Access Card with the correct Facility Code near a reader for about one
second. The LED should show a long Green flash and the reader will beep. If an additional Facility Code is to be
entered, present an Access Card with that Facility Code in the same
manner. Repeat for each Facility Code to be entered. Let the LED
stop flashing Red/Green before attempting to use an Access Card.
FIGURE 14
To change a Facility Code (or to set a Facility Code if the LED is not
flashing Red/Green) momentarily depress the reset button on the
SK-ACP. Depressing the reset button will NOT erase memory or
disrupt other programming.
To add an additional Facility Code to a system, while retaining the
existing Facility Code, you must depress the reset button and then
present a card with each Facility Code to the readers while the Red/
Green flashing is occurring. If you only present a card with the “new”
Facility Code the system will “forget” the old Facility Code.
It is only necessary to present an Access Card to one of the two
readers connected to each SK-ACP in the system.

Advanced Control Panel
The SK-MDM Modem (Best Data Smart One 56SPX) has been selected by Secura Key for use with 28SAPlus Access Control Unit and the SK-ACP at remote locations. The SK-MDM is connected directly to the
RS232 port of a 28SA-Plus or an SK-ACP.
The 28SA-Plus and SK-ACP contain the configuration data or “setup string” for the SK-MDM, which allows
the modem to be configured in the field by the reader without the use of a computer, and without setting
DIP switches.
Note that the setup string stored in the 28SA-Plus and SK-ACP is only used for modems at remote locations.
If you are using a SK-MDM at the PC location, use the setup information provided with the modem for
installation with your PC.

Access Control equipment is susceptible to damage from lightning, especially when installed outdoors.
Voltage spikes which travel through buried data cables, telephone lines or AC power lines can damage
Access Control equipment indoors, as well.
While nothing can protect equipment from a direct lightning hit, surge protectors can help to minimize the
damage caused by nearby lightning strikes. Surge protectors operate by connecting Transorbs or
Varistors from data lines to ground. Surge protectors have no effect on normal circuit voltages, but can act
quickly to divert large voltage spikes to ground and away from sensitive components.
Secura Key SA-Series Access Control Units are equipped with surge protection on all inputs and outputs.
PC’s, Printers, and Modems are designed for an indoor, office environment and do not have surge
protection. However, by properly installing aftermarket surge protection devices on all inputs and outputs,
these devices can also be protected from lightning damage.
Where to Install Surge Protection
•On the AC line voltage input to the PC.
•On the AC line voltage input to any transformer or DC Power Supply connected to a 28SA-Plus or
Modem.
•On RS-485 data lines connecting a 28SA-Plus Units or to a PC, Printer or Modem, using a
NET-CONV-P converter.
•On RS-232 data lines from SA Units (Readers) to PC’s, Printers or Modems.
•On Telephone lines connected to Modems.
Protect Both Ends of Data Lines
Surge Protectors should be installed at both ends of all Data Lines.
Wire Distance from the Surge Protector
You must locate the protector at least three wire feet away from the device being protected. The
additional wire resistance will dissipate the energy from leading edge of the spike. The wire can be coiled;
a three-foot physical distance is not required.
F-1
Page 33
SK-ACP Installation & Operating Manual
Grounding the Surge Protector
Surge protectors must be connected to a verified good, nearby earth ground. This can be AC Power
Ground, a 10' Copper Ground Stake, or Building Ground. Run 16 AWG or heavier wire as short a distance
as possible, and avoid any bends in the wire.
Self-grounding Surge Protectors
Do not use surge protectors unless they are equipped with a separate ground wire or ground
screw. Self-grounding Surge Protectors use the connector shell or Pin 1 as a ground path; however, the
shell and Pin 1 are not always grounded.
AC Power Surge Protectors
AC Power Surge Protectors must be plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire socket. If a 3-wire
socket is not available, have one installed by an electrician; do not use a 2-prong socket by cutting off the
3rd prong on the plug, or by using a 3/2 converter, or the surge protector will be rendered useless.
Terminating Cable Shields
Connect cable shields on data cables at one end only. You may terminate the cable shield to the same
ground as the surge protector. Leave the cable shield unconnected at the opposite end.
Grounding the Access Control Unit
At the Access Control Unit, connect the Green Ground Screw on the mounting plate to a good earth
ground, to allow the built-in surge protection to work properly.
Surge Protectors
There are many manufacturers of surge protectors. Some are designed to protect a single type of circuit
such as high voltage AC, low voltage DC or telephone lines. Secura Key offers two multi-function surge
suppressors that are well-suited to protecting access control equipment. The DTK-XR is a good choice for
protecting an SK-ACP panel from power, data and telephone line surges. If the card readers or keypads
attached to the SK-ACP are located outdoors you may also wish to install DTK-CR protectors on each
reader circuit.
