SUPERTERM-8
CICP1800 8-Door Intelligent Controller
Up to 63 CIC Intelligent Controllers (Microterm, Miniterm,
Smarterm or Superterm) can be intermixed on the same
communications network. Multiple communication networks
(ports) can be connected to the CardAccess® server for maximum
system expansion. Controller communication choices include:
hardwire (repeat or multi-drop mode), LAN/WAN, dial-up or
fiber optics for maximum flexibility. Continental Instruments
supports RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication formats for
optimal system configuration.
In addition to memory and power expansion capabilities, the
Superterm will accept up to 3 input/output expansion boards.
The Superterm can be ordered with the expansion boards preinstalled at the factory. The boards can also be ordered separately
and field installed within the Superterm enclosure. The boards
are mounted to the inside of the hinged enclosure cover. The
Alarm Expander Board provides 16 supervised inputs while
the Relay Expander Board provides 16 relay outputs and 8
The eight-reader Superterm (CICP1800) supports
8 readers and has 24 inputs, 1 tamper alarm and 17
outputs. A locking steel enclosure, power supply and
battery are included.
Superterm-8 is an expandable intelligent controller capable
of supporting all access control functions for one to eight
doors. This distributed processor-based panel will operate
as a standalone unit in the event server-communications are
interrupted. The Superterm is programmed via Continental
Instruments (CIC) CardAccess® software program, a Windowsbased access control and security management solution. Once
programmed, the controller does not require continuous server
communications, as it automatically stores system transactions
in its internal memory. The Superterm’s memory is field
expandable, allowing for greater cardholder populations and/
or a larger transaction buffer. The controller’s Flash EPROM
firmware is easily upgraded when additional features or
system enhancements are required. Continental’s controllers
feature extensive multi-stage lightning/transient protection
on-board for maximum reliability even in harsh environments.
The Superterm accepts industry standard Wiegand output devices
and supports virtually all card/reader technologies. Proximity,
Biometric, Magnetic Stripe, Barcode, Wiegand, Barium Ferrite,
Keypad and Smart Readers are easily connected and controlled.
The Superterm can store multiple card (bit) formats in its internal
memory, making it a cost-effective retrofit panel. Supporting
multiple bit formats allows existing card populations and readers
to remain in place.

A standard on-board power supply provides 800mA @5VDC
Required if server is not located
or 500mA @12VDC for reader power. An additional
3A@12VDC is available with the optional expanded power
supply. The Superterm can be ordered with a factory installed
expanded power supply. The expanded power supply can also
be ordered separately and field installed within the Superterm
enclosure. The expanded power supply includes a 12AH
standby battery, an upgrade to the standard 7AH battery. The
standard 7AH and expanded 12AH batteries provide 4–6 hours
standby. In addition to the rechargeable standby battery, each
Superterm includes a lithium battery for up to one year of data
protection.
The Superterm-8 is UL Listed for UL294 (Access Control
System Unit), UL1076 (Proprietary Burglar Alarm Unit) and
UL1950** (Information Technology Equipment).
