Programming the system ( Day to Day).

There are three programming functions available;

1) Validating User Cards for the reader

2) Deleting User Cards from the reader

3) Setting Lock Opening Time.

Logging on the User Cards

Each User Card has a corresponding paper Shadow Card

To validate a User Card, first swipe through one of the Shadow cards. The Green arrow LED will
flash, and the other LEDs will go out

Now swipe the required User Card. The Green arrow LED will go steady, there will be a
confirmation bleep and the three LEDs will come back on.

If the above indications do not happen, the card(s) may have been mis-read. (A mis-read is
accompanied by a falling tone from the unit.) Simply try again, ensuring that the card is kept
vertical and is swiped at a steady rate.

After the User Card has been logged on, write the User details (Name & Card No.) on the Shadow
Card. This may then be used as a record for administration of the system.

More User Cards can be validated now or at any time (200 Max ).

Deleting User Cards.

To remove a User Card from the reader, it is a simple matter of swiping the corresponding
Shadow Card through the reader. The Shadow Card may now be re-used to validate a different
User Card.

Setting the Door Release Time

After initialisation, the Release Time is set to 7 seconds. To change the this time, swipe the
Master card through the reader and after the required time has elapsed, swipe the card again. Do
not swipe any cards through the reader during this time

During the "wait" period all the LEDs will go out and there will be a bleep at one second
intervals to aid the timing.

The BC 402 Compact Card reader is a self contained
magnetic card reader requiring only a Locking
mechanism and a Power Supply for a complete
single door solution.

All programming is achieved by means of magnetic
cards either provided with the unit or as a separate
card pack.
The unit is supplied with 3 Metre cables, where all
terminations are made for the lock, Exit Request
Button and the Power Supply. There are no user
serviceable parts inside the reader.

Installation.

The BC 402 may be installed externally without the need for heaters. The
recommended mounting height is between 1.2 to 1.4 metres, in a vertical orientation
with the small arrow pointing downwards. All fixing screws and clips are provided
with the BC 402.

The cables should be passed through to the secure side of the door for termination to
the Lock, Power Supply and Exit Request Button.

The cable connections are as follows:

Lock Output Yellow Wire (Lock 12v d.c.)
Green Wire (Lock 0v)

Power Supply Black Wire (0v)
Red Wire (12v d.c.)
Exit Request Button Blue Wire (Exit 0v)

Mounting Instructions

The unit is mounted to the wall by means of 2 fixing screws, these screws are then hidden by
fixing the reader cover which is secured by a single screw in the base of the unit.

Mount the reader module to the wall using the 2 fixing screws and wall plugs provided. Use the
reader itself as a template for drilling the holes. A larger hole is required in the centre of the
reader to allow the cable to pass through the wall.

Hook the reader cover over the module mounted to the wall, lower the reader down so that it
covers the reader completely making sure the LED indicators are located correctly in their
respective holes. Secure the cover to the reader at the bottom of the reader cover using the
screw provided.

Configuration

Setting up the system.

There are three types of card required to operate the BC 402, they consist of the following;

Control Cards (Plastic)

1) The Master card - This card is used to initialize the unit and set the door release time.

2) Fail Open/Fail Locked Card - This card is used to change the logic of the door output. This card

is linked to the Master Card, so may only
initialised with the associated Master Card.

Shadow Cards (Paper)

These are used to issue and delete the User Cards. One shadow card is used for each User card. The
Shadow Cards are also linked to the Master Card

User Cards

The cards that will be used day-to-day by the personnel, these may be standard Bewator IB-1 cards or
even the user's bank or credit card.

Initial Operation

When the BC 402 is first powered up the Green arrow L.E.D will flash, which indicates that the reader
requires initialisation.

At this stage (and this stage only) the BC 402 requires to be initialised with the Master card.

Carefully swipe the Master card once in the reader in a downwards direction.

The arrow L.E.D will go continuously green and the unit will give a confirmation bleep. If the L.E.D
continues to flash, the card has been mis-read.

Setting the Door Output Logic

The reader must now be set according to the type of electric release to be used. This may be either
"Fail Locked" (power to release) or "Fail Open" (power to lock).

After initialisation, the unit is set to "Fail Locked" operation. If "Fail Open" operation is required,
swipe the Fail Open/Fail Locked Card once
card again will return the reader to "Fail Locked" operation

Once this initialisation has been completed the BC 402 is ready for use

be used after initialisation, and only on the reader(s)

. This will toggle the operation of the output. Swiping the
