Orion Schaltgeräte RFI 1000, RFI 1000-2 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating Instructions RFI 1000 / RFI 1000-2

Please read the operating instructions before starting the device

The device is able to memorize 99 RFI keys (either in form of a card or a tag) as opening keys and one
key as programming key at a maximum. If, in addition, a manual terminal is applied 999 RFI keys can
be memorized as opening keys and one as programming key. Any number between 0 and 999 may be
assigned to each key to store it thereunder. Such number may be selected by means of two turn
switches on the printed-circuit board or by a manual terminal, this is the „RFI MASTER“ (0-999).
Turn switch „A“ sets the digits and turn switch „B“ the decimals.
Each key may as well be deleted individually. Moreover, all stored keys may be deleted completely.
Only one number can be assigned to each key.
Keys to which an odd number was assigned (1,3,5 etc.) activate relay 1 and keys an even number (2,4,6
etc.) was assigned to activate relay 2 (only on model RFI 1000-2). A key to which figure „O“ is
assigned may be used as programming key.
The device consists of two parts these are reading device and evaluation unit.
The installation of the device is quite simple. A separate transformer is not necessary. An A.C.-door
opener (12 V) usual in the trade may be connected directly. Operating voltage, 230V A.C. and reading
device being connected, the whole device is ready for use. As connecting line between reading device
and evaluation unit, a commercial ringing wire (2-wire cable) is sufficient.
The length of the cable may be up to 100 m. Polarity does not have any importance.
Using a manual terminal the entering and deleting of keys is quite easy. In this case, the whole
operation is done via the manual terminal which is held on to the reading device. Up to three reading
devices may work together with one evaluation unit.

Power supply 230V AC
2 potential free relay exits with one break contact each, 1 make contact 230V 5A
12V A.C. exit to connect an electric door opener
999 keys at a maximum may be entered
decoder RFI 1000 does not have a second relay exit and no 12V A.C. exit
decoder-protective system: IP40 or IP65 optional
reading-device protective system: IP65

Normal working order

The turn switches should not be in „0“ position. A RFI key is brought into the reading area of the
reading device (distance : 1 to 5 cm, according to each type). Please make sure the RFI key is held as
parallel to the surface of the reading device as possible. If the RFI key is accepted to be valid, the red
luminous diode on the reading device beams and the red and the green luminous diode on the
evaluation unit and on relay 1 attract resp. the red and the yellow luminous diode and relay 2 attract as
long as the RFI key remains within the reading area.
As soon as the RFI key leaves the reading area the luminous diodes go out and the relay tapers off after
a delay time. The length of delay time may be adjusted. If a card is not accepted and regarded to be
invalid, the red luminous diode on the reading device and the red luminous diode on the evaluation
unit flash in short intervals. None of the relays does attract. If the luminous diodes remain dark, there is
no RFI key recognized.

Abridged version : „Entering a key“

1. Set the number with the turn switches.

2. Press the programming pushbutton once for a moment or hold the program key on to the reading
device ( 1 sec. approx.) and remove it again.

3. Hold the RFI key parallel to the reading device (1 sec. approx.) and remove it again.

Now the RFI key is entered under the adjusted number.

When the just entered RFI key is held to the reading device again, the relay must attract now. Should
this not be the case, please read the detailed version of the operating instructions and repeat the action.

Entering the RFI key without manual terminal

1 Entering the programming key

The programming key is a key „0„ is assigned to.

A programming key may serve to put the device into „entering position“ thus, it is not
necessary to press the programming pushbutton on the printed-circuit board. It is not absolutely
necessary, but may perhaps simplify the operation.

1.1 Put both turn switches to „0“ position

1.2 Press the programming pushbutton once for a moment. The red luminous diode starts

flashing very slowly (2 seconds on and 2 seconds off). But, if the luminous diode starts
flickering, a programming key was entered already and has to be deleted first. See „Deleting a

programming or an opening key“.

1.3 Any RFI key is taken into the reading area. The red luminous diode starts flashing faster.

However, if the red lumious diode only begins to flicker, this RFI key has already been
assigned to another number as an opening key. Then this key must either be deleted first or
another one must be applied.

1.4 The RFI key is removed from the reading area. The red luminous diode flashes once for a

moment and once for a longer while to demonstrate acceptance . Now the RFI key is put in as
programming key.

2 Entering opening keys by means of the programming key

2.1 The turn switches are put to the number which shall be assigned to the RFI key, (not to

„0“), odd number for relay No. 1, even number for relay No. 2 (only on model RFI 1000-2).

2.2 The programming key is brought to the reading area. The red luminous diode starts

flashing.

2.3 The programming key is removed from the reading area. The red luminous diode starts

flashing very slowly (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off). However, if the luminous diode starts
flickering, the selected number was assigned to another opening key. The opening key assigned
to this number first has to be deleted. See „Deleting an opening key or a programming key.“

2.4 Any RFI key is brought to the reading area. The red luminous diode starts flashing faster.

However, if the red luminous diode only begins to flicker, this RFI key was already assigned to
another number. Then, this key either must be deleted or another one has to be used.

2.5 The RFI key is removed from the reading area. The red luminous diode flashes once for a

moment and once for a longer time to demonstrate acceptance. Now the RFI key is put in as
opening key.

3 Entering an opening key without programming key

3.1 Set the turn switches to the number, the RFI key shall be assigned to. (not to „0“)
