2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Overview
The Nortech CRC200R is a two-channel card reader controller that provides the ideal solution to
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) companies that require a controller for their card access
system. It is ideal both for simple card access systems that control vehicle or personnel
movements into and out of car parks or through electronically controlled doors, and for more
complex systems requiring time zones, anti-passback, event logging, etc. It can also be used as
part of a Norpass2 managed access network via a data connection to the Norpass2 management
platform.
The CRC200R can control any reader combination from magnetic stripe, proximity and smart card
plus numeric keypads, biometric devices, long-range RFID systems and RF remote control
systems. It can also support motorised readers with card capture capability for magnetic stripe,
proximity and smart card.
In addition to the standard CRC200 features, the CRC200R supports random card numbers so that
it can be used with cards from existing applications and further enhance the support of mixed
media on the same controller.

3.2.1 Power Supply
The CRC200R must be fed from a suitable power supply that is capable of supplying a voltage
between 12 and 24 volts DC (see warning below). The supply current requirements for the unit
are100 milliamps quiescent, and 230 milliamps while reading with a passive reader. Some reader
types such as motorised readers need to be powered by a separate supply (refer to the reader’s
installation instructions).
Connect the power supply to the power input connector at the bottom left of the unit (see diagram
above) Do not apply power at this stage.
3-2
Warning: Power supply limitations for use of Door Open Timezones feature
It is recommended that the supply voltage is limited to between 12 and 18 volts DC if
the Door Open Timezone feature is to be used (i.e. door relays remaining operated
for several hours). The continuous operation of relays with certain readers connected
may cause unreliable operation of the CRC200R if fed from a 24 volt supply.
Warning: Use of CRC200R with 12V readers
If a 12V DC reader is to be powered from the CRC200R, then the power supply to
the CRC200R must
output is selected, the input +ve pin is connected directly to the reader supply output
pin. If therefore, an incorrectly rated supply is connected to the input, it is likely to
damage the reader when power is applied.
CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
be rated at 12V DC. When the “supply voltage” reader supply
3.3 Reader voltage settings
Each of the two reader interfaces includes a power supply output. These power supplies can be
individually set to either 5V or “supply voltage” to match the requirements of the corresponding
reader. The voltage for each reader is set on a jumper to the left of the corresponding terminal
block. The factory setting for these jumpers is 5 volts. To avoid damage to the readers, you must
set the correct voltage for each reader before applying power to the CRC200R.
If you are in any doubt about the output voltage to the reader, apply power to the CRC200R
without connecting the readers and measure the voltage at the reader connector(s).
3.4 Connecting the reader
The wiring will depend upon the type of reader and whether the reader is fed directly from a
separate power supply. The screen of the cable should be connected to a suitable earth at one end
only (to avoid earthing loops). Connection to earth at the controller end is recommended.
3.5 Output Relay Connections
Each of the reader inputs is associated with a set of voltage free relay output pins (relay common,
normally closed and normally open). Connect these according to the specific requirement. The
relay common and normally open terminals should be used for barriers, turnstiles, etc. as well as
fail-secure door strikes.
For fail-safe door strikes, magnetic locks, etc., that require to be energised in the locked state (deenergise to unlock) the relay common and normally closed contact should be used.
The relay common terminal should be connected to the +V terminal of the lock power supply and
the N/O or N/C terminals connected to the positive terminal of the locking device. The 0V of the
lock power supply should be connected to the 0V terminal of the locking device.
Warning: Do not exceed the relay contact current rating of 2A @ 30V DC, and
ensure that inductive loads are fitted with a back EMF protection device. Failure to
do this will invalidate the warranty.
3.6 Free Exit Option
On the CRC200R there is a ‘Free Exit’ option for each of the two output relays. This operates such
that the momentary application of a ground to the ‘free exit’ pin (marked REX on the diagram) has
the same effect as the detection of a valid card at the corresponding reader (i.e. the corresponding
latch relay energises for the preset relay time).
3-3
The ‘free exit’ (REX) and ‘0v common’ pins may be wired to the normally open contacts of a
momentary push button or detection device such as an inductive loop vehicle detector.
CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
3.7 Arming and Door Monitoring Options
Each of the reader inputs can be associated with an arming input. Connecting the ‘0v common’
and ‘MON’ (Door Monitoring) input via a switch or relay contact allows the reader to be armed
externally. This is only available when door monitoring is switched off (see section 5.5.1). The
contact must be open (open circuit between pins) to arm the associated reader and closed (pins
short circuited) to disable the associated reader.
The door-monitoring feature can be used if the CRC200R is online to a Norpass2 Access Control
Management System. Here, these pins are wired via a door contact such that the pins are shortcircuited when the door is closed. If the door is left open longer than a preset time (see section
5.5.1) or if the door is forced open without the detection of a valid card, a corresponding alarm can
be raised at the control PC.

4 PROGRAMMING THE CRC200R
Once the CRC200R has been installed and powered up, the next stage is the programming of the
operating parameters to match the requirements of the installation.
To quickly programme a basic configuration for use with ‘Clock & Data’ cards, simply follow the
Quick Set-up Guide supplied with the CRC200R.
This section explains how to programme all of the CRC200R settings according to application and
features used. Section 5 is a reference section that provides step-by-step detail of each procedure.
4.1 Programming Overview
The CRC200R is
programmed using the
12-digit keypad and 2-line
LCD screen.

4.2 Main Installation Parameters
These parameters are set using the “Installer” sub-menu and are used to control the way in which
the controller operates.
4.2.1 Date & Time
Although the time and date settings are factory set, it is advisable to check them briefly before
entering specific installation details.
Press
once again to enter the sub-menu, and press
once and then press repeatedly until the ‘Installer’ screen is displayed, press
repeatedly until “Date/time” is displayed. Press
to show the first parameter. Refer to section 5.5.3 for details of this procedure.
4.2.2 Operating Parameter
For these parameters, you will need to have the following information available:
4.2.2.1 Time Zone Requirements
The CRC200R allows 3 modes of operation:
OFF
(offline)
LINE
(online)
210 This mode offers additional time zone options and card access level features while still
This mode is no longer used.
This mode is used when the CRC200R is to be used as part of a managed network.
The basic features are the same as those for offline operation.
allowing 2 programmable time zones for door open applications. This mode may be
used in either standalone CRC200R or as part of a managed network (Norpass2 must
also have the feature enabled)
Where many time zones and access levels are required Mode 210 must be selected before cards
are added to the system (see sub-section 4.2.2.5 below).
4-2
4.2.2.2 Reader Settings
The following information is required for each reader:
• The required relay operating time (the period for which the door/barrier is to stay open)
• The maximum time that a door can be held open before raising an alarm (applicable to
access control software only)
• Any time periods when a door/barrier is to be left unlocked/open (see 4.2.2.4 –Door Open
Time Zones)
• Whether anti-timeback is to be active and, if so, the anti-timeback period
Also, for the controller:
• Whether the controller is to be linked to control software
• If the controller is linked to control software, its node identity
When you have these details available, follow the procedure in section 5.5.1 to enter them into the
CRC200R.
4.2.2.3 Card Format
You must determine whether the cards that are to be read are in Clock & Data or Wiegand format.
CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
If the format is Clock & Data, the number length and the card number location need to be identified
(refer to Appendix B for further information). For Wiegand format cards, the total number of bits
and the number of start bits, check bits, etc. need to be identified (refer to Appendix B for further
information). A site code is not required for these formats on this reader controller.
For standard 26-bit Wiegand format, there is a special option (W26) that avoids the need to enter
the details of the format. Here, the standard site code and card number lengths are adhered to.
Follow the procedure in section 5.5.5 to enter the card format parameters.
Note:
4.2.2.4 Door Open Time Zones
Should any doors or barriers be left unlocked/open at specific times of the day on certain days of
the week?
The use of Door Open Time Zones enables doors to be set to be unlocked during specific times of
the day on certain days and controlled by a reader at all other times.
In addition to the two default time zones (0=always inactive, 1=always active), there are 2
programmable time zones (2 & 3). Any of the 4 time zones may be assigned to a doors/barrier
such that it may be open when the time zone is active and controlled by the reader when the time
zone is inactive.
A useful feature to help identify the card format is provided by the ‘Card Test’ menu item.
This will check the format of a card presented to reader1 and display the format type,
number of digits/bits and the actual number on the card.
Follow the procedure in section 5.5.6 to check a card format.
Each of the two programmable time zones (2 &3) allow up to two active periods per day. Each of
these active periods can also be programmed to be active on specific days of the week.
4.2.2.5 Card Validity Time Zones
Are any of the cards to be valid only at specific times of the day on certain days of the week, or
valid on only one reader?
4-3
The CRC200R can support both simple and extended access control requirements for different
types of card relating to the following factors:
Valid reader(s)
Valid times of the day
Valid days of the week
In ‘Line’ mode, the Time Zones used for door open can also be used for card validity (see 4.2.2.4).
If Mode 210 (extended time zone mode) is used, there are 16 access levels, each of which can be
assigned a different set of validity time zones for each reader. There are 15 programmable time
zones available in addition to two fixed time zones (0 = never valid, 1 = always valid). Several time
zones can apply to the same access level, therefore allowing very complex validity period tables to
be set up. The diagram shows the relationship between cards, access levels and time zones.
CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
In this example, the card is assigned to access level 2. For this access level, the card is valid on
reader 1 for those times of day/days of the week set up in time zone 1, and is valid on reader 2 for
those times of day/days of week set up in time zones 2 and 4 (where more than one time zone is
assigned, the card will be valid when any of these time zones are set to valid).
The procedure for setting up access levels and time zones in this mode is:
Choose all likely active time periods (e.g. working hours, morning, afternoon, evening, etc.)
1.
and active days (e.g. weekdays, weekend, etc.) and set up appropriate time zones (see
.section 5.8 for programming procedure).
2.
Choose the access levels for groups of cardholders based on applicable validity time zones
specific to each reader, and add them to the CRC200R (see 5.9 for programming
procedure).
Add cards and assign the appropriate access levels (see section 5.1.2 for programming
3.
procedure).
Note:
4-4
210 mode is the standard factory setting and should be used for new installations where
possible. Line mode can be used if a simpler system is required or if it is already in use on
other controllers.
It is important that time zones and access levels are carefully planned and written down before
attempting to add them to the CRC200R.
CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
4.2.3 Anti-Passback
If anti-passback is to be required, then it must be activated. Once activated, Anti-passback will
ensure that any card being presented to one of the two readers is made invalid for subsequent use
on that reader until it has been presented to the other reader.
It’s possible to programme the CRC200R to reset anti-passback at up to four times per day. Each
reset will cause the APB record (records of APB card numbers that have been presented to one
reader but not to the other reader) to be deleted, allowing these cards to be valid once more on
both readers. Follow the procedure in section 5.5.2 to programme anti-passback mode.
4.3 Programming the Cards
Once the controller has been configured, it needs to be told which cards to accept and how to
manage them. Cards numbers can be added individually or in batches. The CRC200R needs to
know how to treat each card according to which reader it is presented to. This is set by an Access
Level when the CRC200R is in 210 mode (set to ‘1’ if no time restriction is required). In Line mode,
the card must be assigned a Time Zone for each of the two readers, (set to ‘1’ if no time restriction
is required). Where a motorised card reader is connected to the CRC200R, it can be programmed
to capture the card. Alternatively the card capture output can be used to trigger other external
actions such as capturing video from a security camera on digital video recording equipment
(DVR).
In this version of CRC200, the card numbers are stored against indices. A note should be taken of
each index and associated card number. An example form is provided in Appendix C.
Follow the procedure in section 5.1.1 to programme cards in line mode or section 5.1.2. to
programme cards in 210 mode.
Alternatively, the CRC200R is able to ‘Learn’ card numbers when you present the cards to
Reader 1. Follow the procedure in section 5.2 to add cards using the learning method.
Note:
A ‘Verify Card’ feature is also provided to quickly check the programming of any card. To
verify a card, you must enter the index against which the card has been stored. On entering
an index, you will be presented with the card number and a time zone for each reader
(access level in extended time zone mode).
Follow the procedure in section 5.3 to verify cards.
4.4 Setting PIN Codes
If a keypad or keypad/reader combination is connected to the CRC200R, up to 10 PIN codes can
be stored for checking against user input.
Follow the procedure in section 5.4 to add PIN codes.

6 CRC200R COMMUNICATIONS
The CRC200R can be used in one of two modes:
• Stand-alone
• Online to a PC running Norpass2 Access Control Software.
6.1 Online to Norpass2
For real time output of card transactions or to enable the controller to be controlled via the software
the CRC200R must be connected to a PC via the USB to RS485 converter provided. See the on
screen help of the software for more information about the RS485 interface. Using the ‘Config’
menu in the CRC200R, configure each controller with a unique node identity (starting at ‘0’) and
set it to ‘ONLINE’ mode. Also see software on-screen help.
6.1.1 RS485 Connector and Protocol Selection link
To connect to Norpass2, the USB to RS485 converter supplied with Norpass2 must be wired the
RS485 connector of each CRC200 controller that it is to control. The jumper just below the RS232
connector at the side of the controller must be set to RS485 (bottom two pins), and the cable
terminated at the RS485 connector block (see below). Refer to Norpass2 online help for more
details on wiring the RS485 bus.

readers. Any industry standard reader giving Clock & Data or Wiegand
output.
Dimensions: 160mm x 120mm x 30mm.
Weight: 300 grams.
Supply voltage: 12 to 24 volts DC
If the reader voltage link is set to ‘12V’ it connects the supply
voltage directly to the reader. Therefore, if a 12V DC reader is
used then the supply voltage needs to be 12V DC. If in doubt
always measure the reader voltage before connecting the reader.
Please see note in section 3.2.1
Termination:
Display: LCD, 2 lines x 16 characters.
Controls: 12 button membrane keypad, 0 - 9, Program, Enter.
Request to exit: 2 independent inputs operating latch relays.
Latches: 2 independent voltage free changeover relays (2A, 30V DC)
Arming: 2 arming inputs (doubled with door monitoring inputs)
Auxiliary Outputs: 2 open collector outputs for card capture, DVC control, etc.
Current requirement: 100 mA quiescent, up to 500mA while reading at both readers
Pluggable screw terminal strip.

Appendix B – Card Formats
Clock & Data (ISO/ABA Track 2)
This is an example of card format parameters for an ISO card to be entered in the ‘Card Format’
menu item. The card number is 0012340001 and the lowest 8 digits need to be read .
Digit No. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Value 0 0 1 2 3 4 0 0 0 1
You would set it up as follows: Digits: 10
Card Len: 8
Card Loc: 2
Wiegand
This is an example of card format parameters for Wiegand card using a standard 26-bit format.
The structures for other Wiegand formats are more complex and may not be possible to decode.
CARD NUMBER
As no site code is necessary, you can use any number of available 24 bits (excluding the parity
bits) to form the card number. The most significant bit is determined by the ‘Card Loc’ parameter
and the number of bits used is determined by ‘Card Bits’.
When ‘Card Test’ is performed, the information on the card is displayed on the screen in
hexadecimal form.
The conversion from an example hexadecimal reading of 008A5AC to a binary frame structure is
shown below.
Use a scientific calculator (available on MS windows) to convert from Hex to binary:
0 0 8 A 5 A C
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0
P CARD NUMBER = 70837 P
Enter the bits to be used in the card number (00010001010010110101 in this example) into a
scientific calculator in binary mode and convert it to decimal.
The settings for the CRC200R would be as follows:Number of Bits: 26
Wiegand Even Bits: 13
Wiegand Odd Bits: 13
Wiegand Card Bits: 20
Wiegand Card Loc: 5
If you are in any doubt about the format of the cards that you wish to use, contact Nortech’s
technical support team, who would be happy to help you identify the appropriate parameters.
