Introduction

Ness S2 is an advanced, waterproof (IP65 rated) proximity and PIN Access Controller. S2 can support 2500 users
utilizing three access modes; Card only - Card plus PIN - Card or PIN

S2 can operate in standalone mode, with its internal relay activating when an authorized user is granted access or can
interface to 3rd party products via its 26 Bit Wiegand output

Installation

Drill a hole in the wall to match the location of the
cable at the rear of the S2 or mount a suitable wall
mount junction box

Thread the cable through cable hole and connect
related cables. Take care to insulate the unused
cables to prevent shorting

Programming

0 - Resetting to Factory Defaults

To reset to factory defaults, power off then press and hold the * key while powering up. S2 will beep twice and the
LED will glow orange. Release the * key and the S2 will be ready for one of the following options:

1) Presenting the “Add User Master Card” to S2’s Reader to add a new user

2) Presenting the “Delete User Master Card” to delete a current user

3) Presenting a blank EM card to replace an “Add User Master Card” or “Delete User Master Card”. In this

case the first blank card presented will become the new “Add User Master Card” and the second blank
card presented will become the new “Delete User Master Card”. The LED will flash Red confirming that S2
has been reset to factory defaults and new Master Cards added. If the new Master Cards are not presented
within 10 seconds S2 will resume User Operating Mode and the LED will glow steady Red

When resetting to factory defaults the user's information is still retained
