Topaz / Access Control

ACURT2 &
ACURT4

Networked intelligent controllers

Overview

Field panels are the core of any access control system. When
used with Topaz Intelligent Access Control software, the
32-bit-processor-based ACURT2 and ACURT4 access control
and alarm monitoring panels set the industry standard for
performance, reliability, flexibility, and cost effectiveness. They
are designed to operate with the server using a RS-485, RS­232, or LAN/WAN connection. Based on a true 32-bit platform,
each ACURT2 and ACURT4 panel contains 16MB of RAM with
battery backup, allowing high-speed transactions and support
for up to 10,000 cardholders.

The ACURT2 includes direct connections for two readers
including magnetic stripe, Wiegand, proximity, bar code, and
biometric. The ACURT4 includes up to four connections. Also
onboard are all of the inputs and outputs necessary to support
the operation of the access-controlled doors, including door
position switch, request-to-exit device, and electric door release
hardware. In addition, auxiliary inputs and outputs are provided
for most application needs.

Standard fe at u r eS

• Integrated DVMRe support adds video recording to events
reported to the Topaz system

• Onboard high-speed LAN/WAN

• Flash memory

• 16MB RAM

• Battery backup

• Onboard programmable relays and supervised alarm inputs

• I/O capability can be expanded

• Connections can also be made through RS-485, RS-232, or dialup

• Instant Access

• Data Guard

• Local antipassback

The panels have onboard high-speed LAN/WAN connections.
They also connect through RS-485, RS-232, and dial-up for
additional flexibility. Up to 32 ACURT2s or ACURT4s may be
connected to a single Topaz server. All access decisions and
alarm monitoring activity are performed locally at the ACURT2
and ACURT4 panels based on parameters that are downloaded
from the server—thus minimizing network traffic and minimizing
the time from presenting a card to completion of the access
transaction. Whether or not the server is online, the panel will
continue to monitor alarms and process access requests based
on which access points (doors) each cardholder is allowed to
pass through and when. The ACURT2 and ACURT4 can also
operate in a standalone mode only, connecting to the server
when necessary through a dialup phone line.

Supports many readers and card formats

Instant Access

The ACURT panels directly support either two (ACURT2) or four
(ACURT4) readers. ACURT field panels support 16 variable card formats,
Magstripe or Wiegand reader technologies, and multiple site/facility
codes. Readers may consist of magnetic stripe, Wiegand, proximity,
barcode, biometric technologies, keypad, or combined reader/keypad.
Keypads may be used for controlled entry, masking and unmasking of
alarm devices, and activation of a duress alarm.

High processor speed and 16MB memory

True 32-bit Motorola processor assures high-speed downloads, fast
access, and real-time alarm reporting, as well as 16MB memory support
for up to 10,000 cardholder records in each panel. Records may include
access privileges, time schedules, holiday schedules, security areas,
access groups, and more. The memory is dynamically allocated so
that any memory not used for storing cardholder records is available
to store events and transactions. Even with full use of the cardholder
record memory, a minimum of 1,000 transactions may be stored for
subsequent upload to the server where they can be archived for future
retrieval and report generation.

Supervised inputs/relay outputs

Onboard programmable relays are provided on each panel, and
can include supervised inputs for door contacts, motion detectors,
glassbreak sensors, and other alarm devices, as well as request-to-exit
devices and electric door hardware. The ACURT panels also provide
programmable auxiliary relays (outputs) for interface with other building
systems. I/O capability can be expanded through the use of RIM and
RRM modules connected remotely through an RS-485 interface. This
reduces wiring and installation cost by putting your alarm monitor points
and control relays where they are needed. The panels also support
elevator control, antipassback, and programmable input to output
linking. This gives them a level of flexibility unmatched by any other
access control unit.

LAN connection or dialup option

Instant Access ensures that there is no waiting for access during the
download of information to the field panels, because that information
is stored in the local memory.

Data Guard

Data Guard is a unique download utility that eliminates the potential for

database corruption during downloads to field panels.

Local antipassback

Local antipassback feature is a method of preventing an ID device from
gaining access to an area more than once, without it first being used to
exit from that area.

Flash memory

Operating firmware is stored in flash memory for easy updates from
the PC—no need to go to each panel and replace chips. Updates can
occur over the LAN/ WAN, RS-485, RS-232, and dial-up connections.

Construction and design

Each unit is mounted in a sturdy sheet metal enclosure with a
removable hinged door, a keyed lock, and a cabinet tamper switch for
ease of installation and service as well as security. Connection diagram
overlays allow for easier wiring and installation as well as viewing of
system diagnostic LEDS.

Battery backup and power supplies

An onboard battery charger with batteries maintains the ACURT board
and direct-connected readers in the event of a power failure. These
backup batteries supply power to the unit, readers, and the built-in
communication devices such as the LAN/WAN, serial communication
ports, and optional dial-up modem. A plugin transformer is also included
with each unit. If desired, an external power supply (UL-UPS-24V) can
be added for door strikes, and for external ACU expansion modules,
readers, and devices.

Onboard 10Base-T LAN connection is standard and also supports a
RS-485 connection for multiple dropping of additional panels using a
single IP address. Optional dialup works for remote database download,
historical activity, and alarm reporting. If an ACURT2 or ACURT4 is
connected to the server through a LAN/WAN or dialup connection,
additional ACURT units may be connected via multidrop RS-485.
This reduces cost and number of IP addresses or dialup connections
required for the facility.
