! ERM Configuration

Input Requirements

The ERM accepts 12 - 24V AC/DC. An optional battery charging
module and rechargeable gel cells are available to keep the
system operational for up to 50 hours during a power interruption.
System and Keypad current draw (max) is as follows:

! Standby: 120mA
! During Operation: 230mA

Output Capabilities

Main Relay

The Main Relay will activate either a Fail-Safe or a Fail-Secure
(Non Fail-Safe) electronic locking device or other equipment. It
may also be configured as a dry contact relay output to control a
gate operator or garage door opener (Set Door Open Time to 1
second). The main output is programmable from 01 to 99 seconds
with optional timed or manual latching.

Output A

A Relay Contact output that can be programmed for one of the
following:

1. CCTV or Light Controller - First key press or ProxCard® II
(“card”) presentation to the K-Prox label area triggers a Timed
Output (1 to 99 seconds).

2. Auxiliary Output - Manual Control or Timed Output (1 to 99
seconds).

3. Second Door - Users can be assigned to open a 2nd door.

4. Doorbell - Press # at the Keypad to trigger a 1 second output
for a doorbell (not included).

Output B

A Relay Contact output that can be programmed for one of the
following:

1. CCTV or Light Controller - First key press or card presentation
to the K-Prox label area triggers a Timed Output (1 to 99
seconds).

2. Auxiliary Output - Manual Control or Timed Output (1 to 99
seconds).

3. Third Door - Users can be assigned to open a 3rd door.

4. Internal Alarm System - Detect Break-in, Door-ajar & Tamper.

5. Doorbell - Press # at the Keypad to trigger a 1 second output
for a doorbell (not included).

! Keypad Connector Diagram

The 5 wire harness connects the Keypad to the Prox Reader.

YELLOW- Anti Tailgate
If not used, this must be connected to BLACK. By adding a door

monitor switch between YELLOW and BLACK, the door will relock
immediately after opening. If Output B is set up as Internal Alarm,
this switch will trigger the alarm if the door is opened without a
code or if the door is left open longer than the Door Ajar Time
setting.

RED, BLACK, GREEN, VIOLET, GRAY, ORANGE and SHIELD-

These wires all connect to the ERM module.

Security Level - Enabled

If SECURITY LEVEL is enabled in Set up (page 20):

When the CLOCK terminal on the ERM circuit is connected to
ground (through time clock or other switch contacts), users who
are “non-exempt” and were assigned both a code and card can
use either to enter. Those who were assigned only a card or a
code can also enter.

When the input is NOT grounded, only non-exempt users as­signed both a code and a card can enter by using both.

In other words, “grounded” is low level security; only one form of ID
is needed. “Not grounded” is high level security; two forms of ID
are needed.

Security Level - Disabled

If SECURITY LEVEL is disabled:

Whether the CLOCK terminal is connected to ground or not
grounded, “non-exempt” users with both a card and a code can
get in by using both. All other non-exempt users are locked out.

When programming Individual Users (page 21), assigning the
Exempt from Security Level User Authorization Code (7#) exempts
a User from the security level. All “exempt” users can get in with
either a code or a card no matter what the security level is set for.

! K-Prox Configuration

Voltage Selection

The factory default setting for the Keypad and Prox Reader
voltage is 12-24VDC. Verify that the jumpers are removed or
placed over only one pin. Do not set either for 5V.

Keypad Output Selection

Once the voltage jumper is verified or correctly set:

1. Remove power.

2. Jumper the two pins above the connector labeled "CONFIG.”

3. Apply appropriate power. (You should hear 4 beeps and the
RED LED will flash and the GREEN LED will be solid).

4. Now that the Keypad is in configuration mode, enter 98
followed by #. You should hear 3 beeps indicating successful
configuration. If you hear a long error beep, re-enter 98
followed by #. To change the audible beep, proceed as
follows. Otherwise, go to Step 5.

To change the audible beep, enter

Code Audible Beep

201 # Normal Beep (factory default)
200 # Short Click (quieter)

5. Remove power.

6. Remove configuration jumper.

7. Re-apply power.

8. Press PROGRAM button in the ERM to establish the encoded
connection. This will put the system into setup mode.

9. Press * * to exit.

CAUTION: This procedure completely erases the memory and
restores factory defaults! Once the memory is cleared, all pro­grammed User Codes are erased and factory default settings

are restored.

Keypad Reset

In certain cases you may want to erase all user codes and restore
system defaults. To perform this procedure:

1. Remove power.

2. Jumper the two pins above the connector labeled "CONFIG.”

3. Apply appropriate power. (You should hear 4 beeps and the
RED LED will flash and the GREEN LED will be solid).

IMPORTANT: Once the configuration is selected, you must re­move power, remove the configuration jumper and then re-apply
power in order to complete the configuration procedure. Note: If
the configuration jumper is not removed, the LED's will flash and

the Keypad will beep continuously.
