Programming Multiple Units Overview

Note:

You

cannot

program a unit within a multi-unit chain from a local/remote DTMF phone (Touch-Tone) unless you know the unit's ID number. Therefore, you can only verify the unit number while programming from the unit's front keypad.

Up to seven (7) EL25s can be installed on a single telephone line.

Each

unit must have a “

Unique

Unit ID”

number and the

“Number of Units in Chain”

assigned to it.

If you make an error during an entry, press the asterisk key (*) to begin again.

Then

1 Press

2 Unit ID Number (1-7), Then

3 Total Number of Units in Chain (1-7), Then

The unit ID identifies each unit within a chain. Adding or removing EL25s will require the unit ID's to be re-entered.

Factory Setting: Unit ID 1 and Number of Units in Chain 1.

This allows you to verify a unit's number within a chain. When you perform this step, the unit will respond with the number of beeps corresponding to its unit ID number. Two beeps, for example, mean the unit is number 2 in the chain.

Getting Started

EL25 SetUp “Your Settings”

Change the unit password to prevent any tampering with your system's database. When changing the password, save a copy of it in a secure location. If you lose the password, you

will not

be able to enter into programming

mode.

Factory Setting: 000000 (See Page 6)

The EL25 comes preprogrammed with Factory Settings. When the unit is first installed, you DO NOT need to program each feature.

Review the unit's factory settings before programming (see

Quick Reference Guide

in front for ALL the Factory

Settings).

The Unit ID number identifies each unit within the chain. Setting the “Unit ID” and “Number of Units in the

Chain” are

required

so Versa XS can send or receive data to/from the correct units within the chain.

Factory Setting: Unit ID Number “1” and Number of Units in Chain “1”. (See Previous Page)

A relay is a device that reacts to an electric current to activate other devices. Allowing the EL25 to lock or unlock a door/gate, shunt (bypass) alarm contacts, signal an alarm, or turn on a camera wired to a closed-circuit television (CCTV). The relays can be programmed to 5 different modes.

The EL25

must

have all

external access control device

options

configured

into it, before

many

the other programming options can proceed. You must tell the unit “

what it's wired to

” and “

how

you want the devices to behave.

” To do this you must know what a “

Door

” Number is and what a

“

Relay

” is.

What is a Relay?

A Number (1-4)

YOU

assign to the EL25 unit to Identify the External Access Control Devices wired to it. Up to 4 devices can be connected. Once identified, the unit will keep

A Strike Relay controls a door or gate by unlocking or opening it. It does not control any

other component associated with a system like Alarms, CCTV, etc.

Shunt Relay:

A Shunt Relay is normally wired to an alarm and works with strike relays to shunt (bypass) the alarm when the door is opened with a valid access code. If the door is forced open, the system will not shunt the alarm and the alarm will be triggered.

CCTV Relay:

A CCTV Relay activates the system's optional camera. The camera is wired to a closed circuit television (CCTV). A camera can be activated when an alarm condition occurs or when a resident enters a valid access code.

Alarm Relay:

The Alarm Relay will activate another device, such as a siren, when 3 conditions occur. A door is opened without a valid access code, A door is open past the allotted time programmed in, or too many invalid codes are tried. Any of these will trigger the alarm relay.

Control Relay:

The Control Relay can control another device such as an outdoor or indoor light near the unit. For example, you could configure the system to turn on an entry light through a darkened area after a resident enters a valid access code. Then the light would then turn off after a specified amount of time.

Setup External Access Control Devices

Page 12

To perform these 4 steps you MUST know EXACTLY where the External Access Control Device(s) were wired in “Your” EL25! When the table on page 14 is completed by you or your installer, this will help you understand “Your” personal layout. If you do not know this, DO NOT PROCEED. Consult your Installer and/or refer to the installation manual for assistance.

Assign Each External Access Control Device to a Door Number:

When a valid access code is entered

into a external access control device, the Assigned

door's relays

will activate (See Below).

Set Each Relay Mode for the Appropriate Response:

There are 5 different relay modes (Previous Page).

The relay mode determines what the relay will control (a door, alarm, CCTV, etc.). (Next Page)

Set Each Relay's Activation Time:

The relay time determines the amount of time the relay remains activated. For example, when a strike relay activates to unlock a door, the relay activation time determines how long the door will remain unlocked. (Next Page)

Assign Each Door Number to One or More Relays:

Defines which relays will activate when a resident

presents a valid access code to an external access control device. (Next Page)

The EL25 can be equipped with Wiegand reader and radio frequency (RF) modules that allow your system to accommodate external access control devices such as a Wiegand-compatible card reader (keypad) and RF receiver.

In order for the devices to work successfully, you must assign them a “Door Number”.

When a

valid access code is presented to the device, the

Assigned Door's Relays

will activate.

Factory Setting: EL25 Keypad Always Assigned to Door 1, No Devices Assigned - 0

Then

EL25 SetUp “Your Settings”

Assign Each External Access Control Device a “Door Number”:

Device “1” is a Radio Receiver and Assigned as Door “3”.

GlossaryGlossary

Access Device (RF Receiver, Card Reader, or Keypad)

- A device that reads transmitter, card or entry codes, allowing

the system to allow or reject entry based on the code's validity.

Access Codes

- Codes that enable visitors and residents to enter a building through a controlled area. Access codes include directory codes, entry codes, cards and transmitters. An access code is associated with a specific access device. Directory codes are associated with the EL25 unit; entry codes with the unit keypad; cards with card readers; and transmitters with radio frequency (RF) receivers.

Alarms

- The EL25 unit may be configured to trigger an alarm (e.g., Activate a siren and/or a warning light, etc.) when an alarm condition occurs. These conditions include a door held open too long, a door forced open, or keypad errors that exceed the maximum allowed.

Anti-Passback

- The Anti-Passback feature prevents unauthorized use of entry codes, cards, and transmitters. When anti-passback is enabled, an access code will be temporarily disabled after each use, thereby prohibiting people from “passing back” their access code, card, or transmitter to unauthorized people.

Button Number

- Refers to the number assigned to each button on a multi-button transmitter. Up to 4 buttons per

remote.

Call Forwarding

- The EL25 can be programmed to “forward” a visitor call to another location when residents are away.

This feature also allows you to grant access to a visitor from a remote location.

Call Forward Control Setting

- When enabled, allows the unit to use Call Forwarding with schedules.

Call Waiting (NPBI / Single Family Residence)

- If the resident's phone is in use when the visitor presses the “Call” key, they will hear 2 short tones to signal that a visitor is attempting to call. They may simply switch over to the call from the visitor, let him/her in, and go back to the original call. This feature is only available for a single-family residence or a manager's phone sharing a phone line with the EL25.

Card Type

- 26-Bit standard or 30-Bit.

Credential

- A card, PIN or Biometric .

Direct Commands (NPBI / Single Family Residence)

- You may send a direct command from your residence phone to activate one of four relays (i.e., to open a door). This feature is only available for a single-family residence or a manager's phone sharing a phone line with the EL25 unit.

Directory Code

- Unique 1-2 digit codes that dial a corresponding telephone number in the building. The unit will dial

the phone number assigned to the code.

Do Not Disturb (DnD)

- The EL25 has the ability to block visitor calls during specific times. Using schedules, the feature

activates and deactivates automatically.

DnD Control Setting

- When enabled the unit will enforce DnD schedule, if disabled the unit will ignore DnD schedule.

DTMF phone

- Dual Tone Multi Frequency (Touch-Tone Phone).

Entry Card

- A resident presents an entry card to a card reader to gain entry into a controlled area. A card's PIN, or

“Personal Identification Number”, is a part of the encoded information that makes a card unique.

Entry Code

- Programmable, numeric codes (3-9 digits in length) that allow entry or exit through a gate/door. Residents

enter their assigned entry code onto the unit's keypad to prompt the system to grant access.

Facility Code

- A code that allows access cards/transmitters to be associated with a facility or complex. This allows you to manage more than one complex. You may also assign a default facility code if a group of access cards/transmitters will share the same code.
