1.6 Prepartion for the Installations

Before beginning the installation process, EverAccess recommends that the user properly prepare by gathering certain information. Proper

preparation will help ensure a smooth installation, and will save the installer time and hassle in the long run. The following information is essential for a professional installation:

1.6.1 Obtain a Floor Plan

Obtain a floor plan of the building in which the access control system is to be installed. Obtaining a floor plan helps the installer determine what components need to be installed, and where. It also is essential in determining the length of cable needed to connect readers to the controller. A floor plan can be a blue print of the building, a design, or simply a drawing of the facility. Any document showing the footprint of the building can be used. The dimensions are important to note, especially when determining cable lengths. A floor plan may be obtained from your local city hall.

1.6.2 Determine Hardware and Location

Determining which hardware to use and where it will be installed. This is the most crucial step in the preparation stage. First, determine how many access points, or doors, need to be managed by the access control system. These access points will control the security of the facility, and can limit the entry and exit to and from any given area of the building. After deciding which doors need to be controlled, the user must also determine the level of security needed at each door. There are many ways to manage each door, using different resources. These resources include, but are not limited to: proximal readers, magnetic stripe readers, relays, and request-to-exits. A few common door configurations are described below:

1）One reader, basic access control The most basic configuration involves one card reader and an electric strike. In this configuration, a person presents a card to the reader, and is either granted or denied access. The electric strike unlocks if the system grants access. In addition, this scenario can monitor whether the door is open, which allows the system to protect against propped open doors, or doors being held open for too long.

V+V

2）One reader, with request to exit device Adding a request to exit device to scenario 1 allows the system to control when to allow people to exit through a door. Request to exit devices include buttons that a person must press in order to exit, or a motion detector that automatically unlocks the door when a person approaches. These devices are always installed on the secure side of the door.

Fig. 1.2 A Common Door Configuration with Entry Reader

3） Two readers, entry and exit access control If additional security is needed at a particular door, or if the administrator needs a record of the time and date that people enter AND exit a door. Adding a second reader on the secure side of the door will require people to present a card to exit as well as enter. This scenario provides the added security benefit of allowing the system to control who can enter, and who can exit. It also allows the administrator to control when people can enter and exit.

Scenario 1 and 2 require one reader. Scenario 3 requires two. Each door module on the EverAccess Flex II controller can control two readers. Therefore, scenarios 1 and 2 allow one door module to control two doors. Scenario 3 requires one door module for each door. This is important to consider when choosing the appropriate number of modules and readers.

1.6.3 Determine System Structures, Number of Controllers and Modules

User needs to determine how many controllers are needed, and whether an Ethernet interface is required. Each EverAccess Flex II controller can

accommodate up to 8 readers. If the system need to be installed requires more than 8 readers, additional controllers are necessary. These controllers can be connected to the system as described in chapter 3.

If one or more controller is to be installed at a different location than the system computer is to be installed, an Ethernet interface is required to connect over the internet. An Ethernet interface may also be used in locations at which the controllers are installed a long distance away from the system PC. Please refer to chapter 3 for more details on installing the Ethernet interface.

Chapter

2 Hardware Installation

In this chapter, after preparing for the installation, the user is ready to begin the install. This section will describe, in general terms, how to install the hardware. Here are the following 5 steps:

1) Mount the enclosure (enclosure optional) and controller

2) Install and connect the card readers

3) Connect the electric strikes or mag locks

4) Connect the controller to the system computer and system reader (system reader optional)

5) Mount a backup battery in the enclosure (optional)

2.1 Mounting the Enclosure and Controller

The controller is an essential part of the access control system. We recommend mounting it in an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure (also sometimes referred to as a panel or a can). The controller should be mounted in a location that is convenient and easily accessible, but also secure. The controller acts as the brain of the access control system and can be used to make changes to the database. When choosing a location to mount the controller, choose a clean, dry location that will allow the administrator easy access to make changes to the system, but that can be secured from the general public. The enclosure must be mounted on a sturdy wall using fasteners or anchors (to be provided by the installer). If you are using an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure there must be an AC power outlet for the enclosure in order to power the controller. (The EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure uses a built in 15 V DC power supply with 110V AC input.) In addition, the system computer should be near the controller, so that the controller can be connected to the PC, allowing the administrator to utilize the Flex Series software. If the system requires additional door or alarm modules, install them in the controller before mounting the controller in the enclosure or on the wall.

Please Note: If the controller screw holes do not line up properly with the enclosure some filing may be needed for adjustment.

The EverAccess Controller package includes two support frames to elevate the controller in order to make wire connections more convenient. The installation is described in the steps below:

Step 1. Mount the two support frames on a wall or on the interior of the EverAccess enclosure. When mounting to a wall, use the mounting template included in the packaging to help position the holes to mount the controller on a wall. If using the EverAccess enclosure, use the four pre-drilled holes on the back wall of the enclosure.

Step 1 Step 2

Fig. 2.1 Mounting the Controller Step1 and Step 2

Step 2. Mount the controller base board.

1) Place the controller base board on the support frames. Line up the four latches on the support frames with the holes on the controller base board. Once lined up, slide the controller base board down to secure it in place. At this point the two screw holes on the top two corners of the controller base board should be aligned with the corresponding holes on the support frame.

2) Secure the controller base board to the support frames with the two screws (provided in the controller package.

Step 3. Install and mount additional door modules or the alarm module

1) Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make sure that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module.

2) Secure the module to the controller base board using the three screws (provided in the module package)

Fig 2.2 Mounting the Controller Step 3

2.2 Installing a Module to Controller

EverAccess Flex II series controller can hook up to 4 door modules and 1 alarm module. Please note only ONE alarm module can be installed to the controller. Each door module is cascaded to its left side module till the main module. The door modules and the alarm module can be placed in any sequence. The index will follow the same rules (refer to next subsection). The steps to install a new module are described below:

Fig. 2.3 Install a New Module to Controller

1) Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make sure that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module.

2) Secure the module to the controller base-board using the three screws (provided in the module package).

2.3 Reader/Door Index Conversion

One EverAccess Flex II Series controller can accommodate up to 4 door modules, each of which controls 2 readers. The index conversion of readers and is displayed below. The readers/doors are counted 1 to 8 from right to left.

Fig. 2.4 Reader/Door Index Conversions

2.5 Install and Connecting the Readers

The card readers chosen for the access control system must be mounted near each door and connected directly to the door module(s) in the controller. Each module can accommodate two readers. The general procedure is described below:

1) Mount each reader, following the instructions included with the reader. Typically, this will include drilling two holes in the mounting wall, and then using the reader mounting hardware to secure the reader to the mounting wall.

2) Once the readers are mounted, connect them to the door module. For wiring definitions, please see previous sections in this manual.

As mentioned before, every door module can control up to two card readers with the correct wiring. The supported reader formats are EverAccess RS232 and Wiegand format. For instructions on connecting each type, please refer to Fig. 2.11 for the RS232 reader connection and Fig 2.12 for the Wiegand reader connection. (The terminals for the 2nd side of the door module are given in brackets)

Numbers 19~21 signifies Reader 2 and 1~5 Signify Reader 1 Connections. The controller will automatically adjust to the Wiegand format of the card reader.

Each door module can provide +12V voltage for two card readers. Twisted cable is recommended to connect the controller and card readers. The maximum transmission distance between the reader and controller depends on the gauge of the cable and the specification of the card reader. Please read the reader user manual carefully before installing the cable for the readers.

Please Note: When installing a multi-reader system, it is strongly recommended that all the card readers follow the same format, i.e. all of them are EverAccess RS232 or Wiegand. Multiple formats could present compatibility problems: a card may not be accepted by all the card readers in the system.

2.6 Connection to Door Lock

Electric strikes and magnetic locks are used to keep doors locked unless the system grants access or the user sets the doors to remain unlocked. The installer must supply the electric strikes and/or magnetic locks. It is recommended that the installer follow and keep the instructions for these locks. One strike or mag lock is required for each door. These locks must be powered separately from the readers. The mounting instructions for strikes and mag locks vary depending on the manufacturer and type of lock. Please consult the instructions included with the door hardware when installing. Once the locks are installed, follow the instructions below to connect them to the controller.

Each door module provides an interface to two door control relays. Terminals 11~13 are for door 1 connections and terminals 27~29 are for door 2 connections. Terminals 12 and 28 are named common terminals (COM). Terminals 13 and 29 are used for normally closed terminal (N.C.) locks. Terminals 11 and 27 are used for normally open terminal (N.O.) locks.

The electrical door lock must have a separate power supply. The power supply for the electrical door lock depends on the specification of the lock. Carefully choose the cable connecting the door locks to fit the current draw. Two common types of electrical door locks in the market are electric strike locks and magnetic locks. The connection methods for these examples are shown in Fig. 2.13 and 2.14 respectively.

4.1 Connecting the Power Supply

Connect the positive end to the terminal 18 on the main module and the GND to terminal 19 on the main module, as shown in Fig. 4.1.

Main

V－

V＋

Fig. 4.1 Connection to Power Supply

The voltage supply for EverAccess Flex II controller can handle a range of DC 11V ~16V. The maximum current draw of the controller is 500 mA. If the backup battery is connected to the controller, a power supply with DC15V output is required. The power supply in the EverAccess enclosure is DC15V. In addition, the controller provides a 12V power supply for the card readers. It should be noted that if a controller powers multiple card readers, the current draw will be increased. The total current draw can be calculated as below:

= 500

Important Tips: The voltage supply should be located no more than 2 meters from the controller. Also, electric locks and alarm devices MUST be powered separately. The controller’s power supply can power the controller and modules, and the card readers, but NOT the locking hardware or alarm.

4.2 Mount a Backup Battery (optional)

If the installer chooses, a backup battery may be mounted in the EverAccess enclosure and connected to the controller to provide backup power in the event of external power loss. Once the battery is installed, it will charge off the external power until it is needed, at which time it will automatically be used to power the system.

4.3 Connection to Backup Battery

Connect the positive end of the backup battery to terminal 20 and the negative end of the backup battery to terminal 21, as shown in Fig. 4.2:

Main

Fig. 4.2 Connection to Backup Battery

If a backup battery is connected, the controller will automatically switch to backup power in the event that the external power is lost. The backup battery will charge while external power is being supplied. In general, the larger the battery capacity is, the longer it can support the controller. Roughly speaking, a 12AH battery can provide 4 hours of energy for a controller containing 4 door modules, 1 alarm modules and 8 card readers.

4.4 Reset Controller

Before turning the power on, please double check to ensure that all the wiring and connections are correct. In order to restore factory default settings, switch the power on while holding down the RESET switch. The RESET switch is shown in Fig 4.3：

5.8 Alarm Setting

EverAccess Flex II controller is equipped with powerful alarm functions. With alarm modules and door modules fully installed, the controller can accommodate up to 10 alarm inputs and 18 alarm outputs. At the meantime, EverAccess Flex II controller also provide very flexible configuration. Any event can be arbitrarily allocated to single or multiple alarm outputs. Alarm components, configuration basics, and menu settings are introduced below.

5.8.1 Components for Alarm

EverAccess Flex II controller consists of two basic components: the main module and the door module. User can install up to 4 door modules and 1 alarm module.

These three types of module are all equipped with alarm function. The main module has 2 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs. Each door module has 2 alarm outputs, which usually react to alarm events on the corresponding door. However, it can be set to react to other alarm events as well. Alarm outputs on the door module can connect up to 5A external alarm devices.

Alarm module has 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. 8 alarm inputs can connect to external alarm input devices, such as PIR motion sensor, glass sensor and etc. 8 alarm outputs can connect up to 2A external alarm devices.

The above mentioned are physical devices providing alarm function. User can freely define the allocation of any input to any output. The following section outlines basic concepts for events, alarm and configuration.

5.8.2 Alarm Configuration Basics

EverAccess Flex II controller keeps tracking all events in the access control system, either legal or illegal, either normal or abnormal, for example, the granted access, the denied access and so on.

Some events are critical which must trigger the alarm output, like the fire alarm input, the zone alarm input and etc. But some events are not so important to trigger the alarm output, like the denied access due to the invalid time. These settings all depend on the users’ requirements. EFC202 controller collects all events that might trigger the alarm output and provides the full capacity to enable or disable the alarm output on these events.

Sometimes user wishes to allocate a particular event to a particular alarm output, or allocate alarm inputs in certain area to multiple alarm outputs. EFC202 controller delivers all the function and flexibility user need. User

can define whether certain event will trigger an alarm, and can further specify to which alarm output that event is allocated.

An alarm can be triggered by events such as fire alarm, zone alarm 1~9, unknown card, expired card, invalid card, invalid door, invalid time, card anti-pass back fail, card PIN fail, SYS PIN fail, ARM PIN fail, door forced open, door held open, reader lost and remote alarm. All these events can be allocated to any alarm relay output on main module, door module and alarm module. The detailed configuration method is introduced in the following section.

5.8.3 Enter Alarm Setting Menu

Under System menu, select “Alarm Setting” as shown below:

Alarm Setting

Press to enter Alarm Setting menu. Use and to choose from different menu options. All menu options under Alarm Setting are introduced below:

5.8.4 Alarm Setting Menu Structure

There are three submenus under Alarm Setting, as shown below:

larm Setting

Alarm Input Setting menu is used to configure alarm inputs on main module and door module. The setting includes alarm input mode, output mode, whether fire alarm or other type, alarm output action, door behavior in fire alarm, arm delay time and alarm output time etc.

Event Alarm Output Setting menu consists of event alarm output time setting and event alarm action setting.

Press to enter Alarm Input Setting. The system will prompt user to choose the alarm input channel that needs to be configured, as shown below. There are total 10 alarm input channels.

Alarm input----1 setting

Enter the channel number “1” and then Press to enter the Alarm Input Setting menu for channel 1. The first submenu is Alarm Input mode, use and to choose different options for different event.

Alarm Input Mode Setting

There are three Alarm Input Mode: Normally Open, Normally Close and Invalid. Press to choose from the three options.

Alarm Input Mode Normal Open mode

Alarm Input Mode Invalid

Alarm Input Mode Normal Close mode

Normally Open means the circuit disconnects in the normal condition (i.e. without input) and connects with activated inputs. Normally Close is the opposite: the circuit connects in the normal condition (i.e. without input) and disconnects with activated inputs. Invalid means the current alarm zone is disabled.

Alarm Output Mode Setting

There are two types of output mode: Lock and Sync. Press to toggle between the two options.

Alarm Output Mode Latch

Alarm Output Mode Transparent

Sync mode means the alarm output is directly synchronized with the alarm input. Specifically, there will be an alarm output once an input signal is triggered and the alarm outputs stops when the input signal stops. The sync mode is not affected by alarm delay time; Lock mode means, there will be an alarm output only after the arm delay time when an input signal is triggered. Once triggered, the alarm output remains until alarm time is reached even if the input signal stops during this time period.

Fire Alarm Setting

Fire Alarm Setting is used to indicate whether the current alarm is a fire alarm or not. a fire alarm has the highest priority and cannot be disarmed. In addition, there is no arm delay time for fire alarm. All 10 alarm input channels can be set as fire alarm.

Fire Alarm fire alarm input

Fire Alarm other alarm input

EverAccess Flex II controller can connect up to 18 alarm outputs, including 2 from the main module, 8 from door module and 8 from extendable module. Alarm Output Action Setting consists of 3 sub-menus accordingly, as shown below:

As there are 2 alarm outputs from the main module, there are 2 items on this menu corresponding to the 2 outputs. Press number key “1” or “2” to toggle the selection between Y and N of the corresponding channel.

The second sub-menu is “Alarm Setting on Door Module”: The controller can connect up to 4 door modules and there are 2 alarm outputs from each door module. When all 4 door modules are installed, there will be total 8 alarm outputs on this sub-menu. Y means there is an alarm output and N means no alarm output. Press number key “1”~ “8” to toggle the selection between Y and N of the corresponding channel.

Alarm act on door NNNNNNNN

The last sub-menu is “Alarm Setting on extendable module”: The controller can also connect to 1 alarm module besides 4 door modules. There are 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs on the alarm module. If an alarm module is installed, user can configure the alarm setting here. The 8 alarm inputs correspond to alarm input 2~9. Their output status will be shown in the LCD display as below:

Alarm act on alarm NNNNNNNN

All 10 alarm inputs can be set as fire alarm. Fire alarm has the highest priority. User can configure the door behavior in the event of fire alarm. Y means door open and N means door close

Door act on fire YYYYYYYY

When an alarm input is set as arm zone alarm input (not fire alarm), one property is Arm Delay Time. When an arm operation is executed, all active arm zones will enter ARM enabled status only after a certain time delay, which is called ARM delay time. EverAcess Flex II controller supports configuring ARM delay time for each individual alarm input.

ArmDelay Time Setting

Press to enter ARM delay Time setting：

arm delay time ___Min __Sec

The default ARM delay Time is 30 seconds. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm output will remain active for a certain period of time called alarm output time. The alarm output will be cleared when alarm output time has elapsed (Except for fire alarm). Fire alarm can only be reset manually. The default alarm output time is 60 seconds.

alarm time ___Min __Sec

5.8.6 Event Alarm Output Setting

In Alarm Setting, besides physical alarm inputs, user can configure illegitimate events such as unknown card, invalid card, expired card, invalid time, and invalid door and so on. There are two options in alarm event setting: alarm event action and alarm event time. Alarm event action set the output terminal of the event.

Alarm Event ActionSetting

Event Alarm Output Setting consists of two items: event alarm output time setting and event alarm action setting:

registrated in the system. An Unknown Card event will be generated when an unknown card is swiped on the reader. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for remote alarm.

Unknown Card NN

• Expired Card: any card in the system is usually assigned a valid date.

After the valid date is passed, the controller will automatically set the card as an expired card. An expired card cannot gain access to the system. At the same time, an Expired Card event will be generated when an expired card is swiped on the reader. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for expired card.

Expired Card NN

• Invalid Card: User can directly set a card as invalid card to disable

the card. An invalid card cannot gain access to the system. At the same time, an Invalid Card event will be generated an invalid card is swiped on the reader. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for invalid card.

Invalid Card NN

• Invalid Door: Each card belongs to an access group. For each group,

the system can assign access rights for certain doors and certain time zones. In other words, cards in an access group have rights to pass only defined doors at defined time zones. An Invalid Door

event will be generated when a card is swiped at any door it does not have right to pass. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for invalid door.

Invalid Door NN

• Invalid Time Zone: The system can define up to 10 date types and

each day of the year is assigned to one of the 10 date types. Each date type can be divided to 10 time zones, with a minimum time period of 1 minutes in each time zone. Each card belongs to an access group. For each group, the system can assign access rights for certain doors and certain time zones. In other words, cards in an access group have rights to pass only defined doors at defined time zones. An Invalid Time Zone event will be generated when a card is swiped at any time it does not have right to pass. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for invalid time zone.

Invalid Time NN

• Card Anti-Passback Fail: When the controller is fully installed with 4

door module, it can connect to 8 card readers. Each reader has a source zone and a target zone, so there will be total 16 zones in the system. If both the system anti-passback function and the card anti-passback property are enabled, a card must be used in the current reader’s source zone; otherwise, it will lead to anti-passback fail. After passing the door, the card will be in the reader’s target zone. A card anti-passback fail will generate an event alarm. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for card anti-passback fail.

APB Failed NN

• Card PIN Fail: every card in the system has a card PIN. When a card

is swiped at the reader where “Card Plus PIN” is set as the door open mode, the user will be asked to enter the card PIN. If wrong PIN is entered, the user will be asked to reenter the PIN. If wrong PIN is entered three times consecutively, a Card PIN Fail event will

be generated. The default setting is that there will be no alarm output from the main module terminal for card PIN fail.

6 Software Setup

This is a brief instruction on EverAccess Flex Series Software. For a more detailed instruction guide, please refer to the EverAccess Flex Series Software Manual.

The next step after hardware installation is to configure the whole access control system. EverAccess Flex II controller has the ability to allow users configure the basic setting through the keypad on the controller. But for the detailed, complicated settings, we recommend to use the management software. To configure the system in software, several major steps that you need to follow are shown as below:

1) Install the software in the control computer

2) Setup the user accounts who will use the software

3) Configure the controller and all other hardware settings

4) Configure the holidays, access group and the door control schedule

5) Enroll cards and set the cardholders’ properties

6.1 Install the software in the Control

Computer

Just like installing any other software in the computer, inserts the software installation CD into the CDROM, and run the setup program. Choose a special installation folder if needed, otherwise just follow the setup wizard and choose the default selection.

To run the software, you need the administrator privilege and the basic computer requirement is as follows:

1) Pentium 4 CPU

2) Windows 2000, XP

3) 100M bytes free space in hard drive

4) 512M Memory

5) For the details of the software installation and the minimum computer requirement, please refer to the software manual.

6.2 Setup the User Accounts for the Software

User

of Flex series access control software is a person who operates the software at any user interface. Each user belongs to a certain authority group. The authority group defines the authority level of users over the operations in the software. Different authority groups have the different access to the operations in the software.

The first step to use the software is to setup a user list that defines who will be able to use the software, and assign the authority group to each user. User name and password will be required to login the software.

Please note that a user in admin group is required to configure all the other settings. For the details to setup a user account, please refer to the software manual.

6.3 Configure the Controller and All Other Hardware

In this step, user needs to set all the configurations for the controllers, doors, readers and alarms. All these configurations are closely related to the hardware. A brief introduction is described as below.

6.3.1 Add a Controller to the System

Go to the controller configuration dialog box in the software. Click the ‘add’ button, give the RS485 address for the controller, set the serial port for the controller and click the submit button to connect a controller.

If the wiring is correct and the address of the controller is valid, the software should be able to find the controller and show the status of the controller as ‘online’. This indicates that the controller has been added to the system.

6.3.2 Configure the door Settings

This step configures door name, door open time and door-held-open time.

Door name is used to help users remember the door location and help make the configuration process easier.

Door open time defines the amount of time that the door can remain open after the door is unlocked, before an alarm is generated by the controller.

For more detailed information on door settings, please refer to the chapter in this manual entitled “Door Setting”.

6.3.3 Configure the Reader Settings

Users can configure the following properties of the readers: the reader-to-door allocation, the keypad reader and the system reader. For the more details about the reader settings, please refer to chapter 5.

On the EverAccess Flex II single-door controller, readers can set to enter or exit the door. Set these properties following the system access control plan.

Keypad Settings define whether the reader is a keypad reader. The System Reader can be used to enroll card easily.

6.3.4 Configure the Alarm Setting

All of the alarm inputs can be assigned to the different alarm outputs. Also users can set the events that can trigger alarm outputs.

6.4 Configure the Holidays, Access Group and Door Control Schedule

At this step, users will configure the holidays, access groups and the door control schedule.

6.4.1 Configure the Holidays

Users can add or delete holidays in the software. Beside holidays, two additional types of dates are supplied in the system. Different access rules can be applied to different dates.

6.4.2 Configure the Access Group

An access group defines a group of cardholders who share the same access rules at the associated access points and at specified times. Set the access rules for the access group first and then assign the cardholder to a certain access group.

6.4.3 Configure the Door Control Schedule

On the Flex II series controller, the door can be configured as normally open, card, card or PIN, card and PIN and normally closed which means, respectively, the door will remain open, a valid card has to be presented, a card or PIN has to be presented, both a valid card and a PIN have to be presented, and the door will remain closed. Please refer to the software manual for details.

6.5 Enroll Cards

There are two ways to enroll a card:

1) Enter the card number manually

2) Present a card at the desktop reader and the card number will be

added into the system automatically The properties for each card should be defined at this time. The primary properties are cardholder name, PIN, forced PIN, and access group. Users can configure the cardholders individually or can do batch configurations if a group of cardholders share common properties.
