Normal, Secure, & Master Users
The AC-G43 accepts up to 500 users and provides entry via the
use of PIN codes. Each user is provided with two code memory
slots, Memory Slot 1 (Primary Code) and Memory Slot 2
(Secondary Code).
The way in which the two memory slots are programmed
determines a users access level and also determines the way in
which the AC-G43 grants access in its three Modes of Operation.
There are three user levels:
Normal User
A Normal User only has a Primary Code and is only
granted access when the AC-G43 is in Normal or
Bypass Mode.
Secure User
A Secure User must have a Primary and Secondary
Code programmed, the two codes must not be the
same. The Secure User can gain access when the
AC-G43 is in any of its three Modes of Operation. In
Normal Mode the Secure User must use their
Primary Code to gain entry. In Secure Mode the
Secure User must first present their Primary Code
and then their Secondary Code in order to gain
entry.
Master User
A Master User must have both Primary and
Secondary Codes programmed with the same
Proximity Card or PIN code. The Master User can
gain access during any Mode of Operation by
presenting their PIN code to the controller.

Modes of Operation
!
The AC-G43 has 3 Modes of Operation:
1) Normal Mode.
Mode LED is green
Normal Mode is the default mode. In Normal Mode the door is
locked until a Primary Code is presented to the controller. The
controller can only be programmed in Normal Mode.
2) Bypass Mode.
!
Mode LED is orange
In Bypass Mode, access to the premises is dependent on
whether the controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail
Safe Operation or Fail Secure Operation.
When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for
Fail Secure Operation, the door is locked until the Star
button is pressed.
When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for
Fail Safe Operation, the door is constantly unlocked.
In case of power failure, for security reasons when power is
restored the controller will be in Normal Mode.
3) Secure Mode.
!
Mode LED is red
Only Secure and Master Users can access the premises during
the Secured Mode.

Request to Exit (REX) Button
Case and Back Tamper
The REX button must be located inside the premises to be secured
and is used to open the door without the use of a PIN code, it is
usually located in a convenient location, e.g. Inside the door or at a
receptionist's desk. The function of the REX button depends on
whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe
Operation or Fail Secure Operation. The door chime in the BL-D40
does not sound when the REX button is used to open the door.
1) Fail Secure Operation: From the moment the REX button is
pressed, the door will be unlocked until the "Lock Strike Release
Time" has passed. After this time, the door will be locked even if
the REX button has not been released.
2) Fail Safe Operation: From the moment the REX button is
pressed, the door will be unlocked until the REX button is
released, plus the "Lock Strike Release Time". In this case the
"Lock Strike Relay" only begins its count down once the REX
button has been released. This feature is designed to keep the
door open when used in conjunction with fire sytems.
If the case of the controller is opened or the controller is removed
from the wall, a tamper event is triggered and a coded tamper
signal is sent to a BL-D40, Supply, or other compatible device.
If the BL-D40 External Sounder receives a Tamper Event Signal, it
will activate a Siren and a Strobe Light. The Siren time can be
easily programmed in the AC-G43 from 0 to 9 minutes.
The tamper event can activate the Auxiliary Output if the controller
is in Auxiliary Mode 3. Refer to "Setting the Auxiliary Mode" on
Page 27.
Clearing a tamper event is done by entering a valid User Code.
AC-G43
07/04
BL-D40 External Sounder
The BL-D40 External Sounder is designed to operate indoors and
installed within the premises to be secured. The Sounder can be
powered by 12 to 24V DC power supply or by 16 to 24V AC from a
transformer.
The BL-D40 is capable of emitting four different types of alerts both
audible and visual; Bell, Door Chime, Siren, and Strobe Light.
1) The Bell always sounds when the controller's doorbell button
is pressed.
2) The Door Chime can be programmed to sound whenever a
valid code is entered.
3) The Siren can be programmed to sound when the case of the
controller is tampered i.e. opened or when the controller is
removed from the wall. The controller can also program the
length of the Siren Time in the BL-D40.
The Controller communicates with the BL-D40 using a coded
proprietary Rosslare communications protocol. This provides a
more secure link between the Controller and the BL-D40.
If the BL-D40 receives any unrecognized codes on its
communication line or communication between the controller and
the BL-D40 are severed, the Strobe with flash repeatedly until the
communication problem has been resolved.

between Normal and Secure Mode. By connecting a switch timer to
the auxiliary input you can for example automatically switch the ACG43 from Normal Mode during office hours to secure mode after
office hours.
AUXILIARY MODE 4
In auxiliary mode 4 the AC-G43 is capable of shunting an alarm
system's door sensor. The auxiliary output should be wired in
parallel to the door sensor. When in use the auxiliary output is
normally open and the door sensor functions normally. When a
valid code is entered the auxiliary relay will shunt the door sensor
for the duration of the shunt time as defined by the auxiliary setting.
If the door is left open longer than the shunt time the alarm will be
triggered.
AUXILIARY MODE 5
In auxiliary mode 5 the AC-G43 is capable of shunting an alarm
system. In this mode the auxiliary input should be wired to the
magnetic contact switch on the door. The auxiliary relay should be
wired to the alarm system. Without a valid code entered the
auxiliary relay will match the condition of the magnetic contact
switch, if the door opens the auxiliary relay will open, if the door
closes the auxiliary relay will close. When a valid code is entered a
count down for maximum shunt time as defined in the auxiliary
setting begins, if the door is not closed before the maximum shunt
time, the alarm will be triggered.
AUXILIARY MODE 6
In auxiliary mode 6 the AC-G43 can trigger the auxiliary relay if it
detects that the door has been forced. In this mode the auxiliary
input should be wired to the magnetic contact switch on the door.
The auxiliary relay should be wired to the alarm system. If the door
is forced open the controller will wait for the forced door delay time
and then activate the auxiliary relay. The auxiliary setting defines
the forced door delay.
AC-G43
Page 31

AUXILIARY MODE 7
In auxiliary mode 7 the AC-G43 can trigger the auxiliary relay if it
detects that the door has been ajar too long. In this mode the
auxiliary input should be wired to the magnetic contact switch on
the door. The auxiliary relay should be wired to the alarm system. If
the door is opened the controller will wait for the door ajar delay
time, if the door does not close before the ajar delay time the
controller will activate the auxiliary relay. The auxiliary setting
defines the door ajar time.
If BL-D40 is connected and an ajar event occurs the BL-D40 will
chime every few seconds for 1 minute or till the door is closed.
AUXILIARY MODE 8
In auxiliary mode 8 the AC-G43 can function as a two door
controller and also provide LED Control functionality. The auxiliary
relay should be attached to the lock on the second door. The
auxiliary setting defines the door open time for the second door.
The auxiliary input is used to control the LED. If the auxiliary input is
open the Door LED will flash red, if the auxiliary input is closed the
Door LED will flash green.
Note: This mode takes control of the Door LED. The Door LED will
no longer activate when a valid code is entered or when in
Secure Mode waiting for a Secondary Code to be entered.
AUXILIARY MODE 9
In auxiliary mode 9 the AC-G43 can function as a two door
controller and also provide LED Control functionality. The auxiliary
relay should be attached to the lock on the second door. The
auxiliary setting defines the door open time for the second door.
The auxiliary input is used to control the LED. If the auxiliary input is
open the Door LED will flash green, if the auxiliary input is closed
the Door LED will flash red.
Note: This mode takes control of the Door LED. The Door LED will
no longer activate when a valid code is entered or when in
Secure Mode waiting for a Secondary Code to be entered.

Enrolling Primary & Secondary Codes
Primary Codes
- Primary Codes can only be enrolled to an empty User Slot, i.e a
slot where there is no existing Primary Code.
- Primary Codes must be unique, i.e. one users Primary Code
may not be the same as another users Primary Code.
- Primary Codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such
as the Normal / Secure Code or Open Code.
- Users who hold a Primary Code can gain entry only during
Normal Mode.
Secondary Codes
- Secondary Codes can only be enrolled to User Slot that already
has a Primary Code enrolled but no Secondary Code.
- Secondary Codes do not have to be unique, i.e. multiple users
can all hold the same Secondary Code.
- Secondary Codes cannot be the same as any system codes,
such as the Normal / Secure Code or Open Code.
- Users who hold Secondary Codes can gain entry in any Mode
of Operation.
Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes
There are two methods to enroll Primary and Secondary
codes, the Standard Method and the Code Search Method.
A. The Standard Method is mainly used when the User Slot
number for the user you wish to program is known. You can
program both Primary and Secondary Codes using the
Standard method. (See Enrolling Users with the Standard
Method on Page 33)
B. The Code Search Method is mainly used when enrolling a
users Secondary Code and the User Slot Code is unknown.
The Code Search method only works if a users Primary Code
is already enrolled but the Secondary Code is not. (See
Enrolling Users with the Code Search Method on Page 34)

For example, the User Slot 003 represents User #3.
4) a. If the selected slot has no
Primary Code, the Mode LED
will flash green, indicating that
the controller is ready to accept a Primary Code.
b. If the selected slot already has
a Primary Code but no
Secondary Code, the Mode LED
will flash red, indicating that the controller is ready to
accept a Secondary Code.
c. If the selected slot already has a Primary and Secondary
Code, you will hear a long beep and the controller will return
to Normal Mode.
5) Enter the 4-digit PIN that you want to assign as the Primary or
Secondary Code for this slot number.
If the PIN that is entered is valid the Mode LED will stop flashing
and then the controller is ready for you to enter the next 3 Digit
slot number (refer to step 3) that you want to assign a code to, or
press the "#" key to move to the next slot number (refer to step
4). If you do not wish to continue enrolling codes, press the "#"
key two times and the controller will return to Normal Mode.
