Description

The SR-10K is a complete stand-alone access controller, using either magnetic-stripe cards or cipher (keypad) codes for identifying valid users.

The Card Reader with Keypad and the Interface Module are the SR-10K system's major components. Separating the door control and other interface connections not only simplifies the installation, but it greatly improves security by placing the door strike relay inside the protected area.

The SR-10K offers unparalleled versatiltiy in its class. The investment an installer makes in learning the SR-10K is greatly rewaded by the number of different applications that can be solved by the SR-10K.

And cerainly not least, unlike other strictly stand-alone access controllers, the SR-10K supports expansion to multiple readers at a site.

Programming

A Master Card places the SR-10K into programming mode. Commands are entered via the keypad on the SR-10K reader. In some cases the entry of user cards may also be required. A buzzer and two bicolor LEDs provide immediate feedback to the operator.

Card Database Options

OVERVIEW

The SR-10K supports three different card database modes:

1 - RANDOM mode, supports up to 100 users (factory default):

This mode allows the use of any magnetic stripe card with standard 'track-2' encoding, such as the 'MS-SR10CC25', pre-encoded packs of 25 cards, or cards from many other access systems, or even bank cards.

Cards are added into 'user slots' by reading the card at the time of enrollment. Individual or a block of 'user slots' may be deactivated.

2 - BLOCK mode, supports up to 1,600 users:

This database mode requires that all cards are encoded as a set. (Block orders are typically shipped within a week of the order). Add-on orders can specify an existing block number and a continuation point. The activation and deactivation of block cards may be done without the cards and may be performed either individually or in blocks.

3 - 'FACILITY CODE' mode, there is no limit to the number of users supported,

since the SR-10K is not checking for a unique code:

This mode is useful for low security applications where access cards are already in use. The number of leading card digits to check is configured from zero to 9 digits. Setting the number of card digits to check to 'none' causes the SR-10K to accept any magnetic stripe card as a valid user- also known as the ATM Mode, used to accept 'any bank card'.

An additional setting allows the SR-10K to skip up to 15 card digits before assembling the facility code. This feature is used in case the facility code does not start at the beginning of the card.

OVERVIEW, continued

Cipher Codes

The SR-10K supports up to 10 cipher codes. Each code is one to six digits in length shorter codes are terminated with the '#' key. Cipher codes, like cards, are assigned a User Level, and like cards, may cause different output relay action depending on the direction of the code entry. See the next two sections for more details.

User Levels

Each card and cipher code is assigned a User Level from 1 to 3. The User Level, along with the selected Operating Mode, determines the result of the card or cipher entry. For example, Level 1 users cannot activate the door relay in some modes unless an input sees a closed contact.

Operating Modes

The versatility of the SR-10K is based on its ability to configure the function of its inputs and relays to suit different applications.

The action performed on the door strike relay, for example, depends on the direction of the card (or cipher code) entry, on the User Level, and possibly on the state of one of the inputs. In addition, the color of the upper reader LED may display the status of an external device connected to an input, such as an alarm panel's armed/disarmed indicator.

An Operating Mode is a collection of these functions intended for a specific application. The Operating Modes are described in detail later in this document.

Multi-Reader Sites

Up to 16 SR-10K's may be linked via a '2-wire' cable. Configuration, card, and cipher code database settings can all be made at just one reader and copied to other SR10K's using simple keypad commands. Modifications can still be made at each reader in cases, for example, where the databases are not identical at every reader.

The data link uses the RS-485 interface standard, allowing the total cable run to extend up to 4,000 feet. The devices must be connected in a 'daisy-chain' configuration. Install the RS-485 termination jumper, J4, on the first and last units only.

This unique feature bridges the gap between complex computer-based integrated access systems and the simpler, individually programmed stand-alone access controllers.

Additional Information

1. The LED's on the interface board are defined as: A = Heartbeat and reader status: Fast flash: normal. Slow flash: Reader

B = Flashes when there is activity on the RS-485 communication bus.

2. Jumper J3: not used.

Quick Start

The factory default setting enables the SR-10K to be used immediately, without any further programming, using the 10 cards shipped with the unit. The database is set to Random Mode, and the cards are enrolled as Level 1 users in slots 01 through 10.

Additional cards are enrolled using Command 10, and Cipher codes may be added using Command 15. Command 32 sets the door strike relay pulse time.

Configuration Planning

The most important selections are the Card Database Mode and the Operating Mode.

Card Database Mode Selection (Command 93)

The 'Random' Database Mode offers great versatility because it allows the use of just about any magnetic stripe card. Leave the SR-10K in this mode if the number of users will not exceed 100.

On the other hand, select the 'Block' Card Database Mode right away if the number of users may exceed 100, because changing database modes deletes all current entries.

Operating Mode Selection (Command 95)

Select the operating mode best suited to the particular site by evaluating the User Level functions, the input and auxiliary output functions of each available operating mode. The selected operating mode determines the installation wiring details and User Level assignment.

Quick Start and Configuration Planning

Lost Master Card

Follow the steps outlined below to set a new Master Card in case the current Master Card is lost:

- remove power from the SR-10K

- install the jumper in position 8

- apply power for a few seconds, then remove it

- remove the jumper from position 8

- apply power to the SR-10K: the old Master Card has been erased!

- add the Master Card using Command 91 (With no valid Master Card, the SR-10K remains in the Programming Mode with the lower LED set to amber, until a Master Card is set. In fact, only Command 91 is accepted until the new Master Card is set.)

Interpreting the LED and Buzzer Indicators

Normal operation - the upper LED is ON steady red or green:

The lower LED flashes green briefly following the entry of a valid card or ciper code. A red flash along with three short beeps indicate an invalid entry attempt.

Programming mode - the lower LED is ON steady green (amber if no Master Card)

The upper LED is OFF if the SR-10K is ready for a new command (wait for '*' key)

The upper LED flashes red while waiting for keypad data entry, and is flashing green while waiting for card entry.

A single beep echoes a key entry, a double beep indicates the completion of a 'field' (each line on the command spec section is a field). Three beeps indicate an error condition. A long beep indicates proper completion of a command.

SR-10K Programming Guide

The COMMAND ENTRY MODE is selected by passing a valid MASTER card through the reader. The intergral keypad allows direct data entry on the SR-10K.

The "*" key is used to start a new command entry. The '#' key terminates field entry. For example, selecting user slot 3 for the the 4-digit user slot entry in Command 20 can be entered as 4 digits: '0','0','0','3', or it may be entered as '3', '#'.

A single short beep indicates the acceptance of a digit, a double beep indicates the acceptance of a field. Three short beeps indicate that the command aborted due to an error. One long beep indicates succesful completion.

RANDOM and Facility Code Database Mode Commands (Commands 10 through 13)

Use these commands to manage the card holders if the RANDOM database mode was selected Command 93 set to mode "0" - this mode is the facory default.
