3. Operation

• In the Operation chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity
card depending on the unit you have.

• Memory slots can be a proximity card or PIN code depending on
the unit you have.

3.1 Modes of Operation

The control units have three modes of operation. These are
indicated by the color of the Mode indicator.

3.1.1 Normal Mode

The left LED is green.

Normal mode is the default mode. In Normal mode, the door is
locked until a valid Primary code is presented to the controller.

The controller can only be programmed in Normal mode.

3.1.2 Secure Mode

The left LED is red.

Only Secure and Master users can access the premises in Secure
mode.

A secure user must enter a primary and secondary code to gain
entry. Once the primary code has been entered, the right LED
flashes green for 10 seconds. During this time, the Secondary code
must be entered. A Master user only needs to present the code
once to gain entry.

22 AC-Q4x Series Installation and Programming Manual

Operation

Orange

3.1.3 Bypass Mode

The left 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, once the power is restored, the controller
returns to Normal mode for security reasons.

3.2 User Levels

AC-Q4x series access control units accept up to 500 users and
provide entry via the use of codes. Each user is allocated two
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 user’s access level and also establishes access is
granted for each of the three modes of operation.

There are three user levels:

 Normal User

A Normal user only has a Primary code and is granted access
only when the controller is in its Normal or Bypass mode.

 Secure User

A Secure user must have a primary and secondary code
assigned, and the two codes must not be the same. The Secure
user can gain access in any mode of operation. In Normal
mode, the secure user must use the Primary code to gain entry.
In Secure mode, the Secure user must first enter the Primary
and then the Secondary code to gain entry.

AC-Q4x Series Installation and Programming Manual 23

Operation

Green

Red

Red

 Master User

A Master user must have identical Primary and Secondary
codes assigned. The codes are entered with the same
proximity card or the same PIN. The Master user can gain
access during any mode of operation by entering the code only
once.

3.3 Switching Operational Modes

The three modes of operation defined above can be changed
through a few steps.

3.3.1 From Normal to Secure Mode

The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838.

To change from Normal to Secure mode:

1. Enter the 4-digit Normal/Secure code.

The left LED flashes red.

2. Press # to confirm the mode change.

The left LED stops flashing.

The auxiliary input of the controller can also be used to switch the
mode of operation from Secure to Normal and vice versa. If the
auxiliary input is selected, it de-activates the Norma/Secure mode
code (see Section 4.9).

3.3.2 From Secure to Normal Mode

The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838.

To change from Secure to Normal mode:

1. Enter the 4-digit Normal/Secure code.

The left LED flashes green.

The auxiliary input of the controller can also be used to switch the
mode of operation from Secure to Normal and vice versa. If the
auxiliary input is selected, it de-activates the Norma/Secure mode
code (see Section 4.9).

3.3.3 From Normal to Bypass Mode

By default, there is no Normal/Bypass code. The Normal/Bypass
code must first be programmed to use this function (see Section

4.7 to create/modify the Normal/Bypass code).

To change from Normal to Bypass mode:

1. Enter the 4-digit Normal/Bypass code.

The left LED flashes orange.

2. Press # to confirm the mode change.

The left LED stops flashing.

3.3.4 From Bypass to Normal Mode

To change from Bypass to Normal mode:

1. Enter the 4-digit Normal/Bypass code.

The left LED flashes green.

2. Press # to confirm the mode change.

The left LED stops flashing.

AC-Q4x Series Installation and Programming Manual 25

Operation

3.4 Auxiliary Input and Output

For optimum usability in different applications, the controller’s
auxiliary input and output can be configured in 10 different modes
of operation (see Section 4.9).

3.5 REX Button

The REX button is located within the premises and is used to open
the door from the inside. It is usually located in a convenient
location, such as next to the door or at a receptionist’s desk. The
door chime in the BL-D40 (if enabled) does not sound when the REX
button is used to open the door.

The function of the REX button depends on the Lock Strike relay,
whether it is programmed for fail safe or for fail secure operation.

 Fail Secure Operation

From the moment the REX button is pressed, the door is
unlocked until the Lock Strike Release time has elapsed. After
this time, the door is locked, even if the REX button has not
been released.

 Fail Safe Operation

From the moment the REX button is pressed, the door is
unlocked until the REX button is released. In this case, the Lock
Strike relay only begins its countdown once the REX button is
released. This feature is designed to keep the door open, when
used in conjunction with fire systems.

3.6 Tamper Feature

If the controller is forcibly opened or the controller is removed from
the wall, a tamper event is triggered. A tamper signal is sent to the
BL-D40 external sounder.

26 AC-Q4x Series Installation and Programming Manual

Operation

If the BL-D40 receives a tamper event signal, it activates a tamper
output and a strobe light. The Siren Time can be easily
programmed in the controller from 0 to 9 minutes.

The tamper event can activate the auxiliary output if the controller
is in Auxiliary Mode 3 (see Table 3).

3.7 Lockout Feature (Keypad/Card Tamper)

If the controller is presented with wrong codes (PIN or card)
consecutively several times, the unit goes into Lockout mode.

When a lockout occurs, the controller keypad and reader are de­activated so no codes can be entered until the set lockout period
expires.

During Lockout mode, the left LED is Off, the right LED flashes red,
and the controller beeps every two seconds.

3.8 BL-D40 External Sounder

The BL-D40 external sounder is designed for indoor use only and
installed within the secured premises. The sounder can be powered
by a 12 to 24 VDC power supply or by a 16 VAC transformer. The
BL-D40 is capable of emitting four different types of audible and
visual alerts: bell, chime, siren and strobe light.

 The bell sounds when the controller’s bell button is pressed.
 The door chime can be programmed to sound whenever a valid

code is entered as well as for a door held open alert.

 The siren can be programmed to sound when the controller is

tampered with (opened or removed from the wall). The length
of the siren can also be programmed in the controller.

The controller communicates with the BL-D40 via a Rosslare
proprietary protocol. If the BL-D40 receives an unrecognized code
over its communication line or communications between the
controller and the BL-D40 are severed, the strobe flashes
repeatedly, until the communication problem has been resolved.

Programming

4. Programming

• In the Programming chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or
proximity card depending on the unit you have.

• When entering a PIN or presenting a proximity card is mentioned,
the meaning may vary between units.

Programming is done solely via the unit’s keypad-driven
Programming Menu System. To reach the Programming Menu
System, the controller must first be placed into Programming Mode
(see Section 4.1

During the manufacturing process, certain codes and settings are
pre-programmed. These settings are the called default factory
settings.

input, the controller can be automatically switched from Normal
mode (during office hours) to Secure mode (after office hours).

4.9.4 Auxiliary Mode 3

Auxiliary input function: Toggles Normal/Secure modes
Auxiliary output activated by: Alarms

For example, in Auxiliary Mode 3, the auxiliary output is activated if
the controller is tampered; that is, if the case is forcibly opened or
removed from the wall. The auxiliary input can switch the mode of
operation of the controller between Normal and Secure mode. By
connecting a switch timer or alarm system output to the auxiliary
input, the controller can be automatically switched from Normal
mode (during office hours) to Secure mode (after office hours).

4.9.5 Auxiliary Mode 4

Auxiliary input function: Toggles Normal/Secure modes
Auxiliary output activated by: direct shunt (explanation below)

For example, in Auxiliary Mode 4, the controller is capable of
bypassing an alarm zone by shunting an alarm system’s door
sensor. The auxiliary output is to be wired in parallel to the door
sensor output. When in use, the auxiliary output is normally open
and the door sensor functions normally. When a valid code is
entered, the auxiliary relay shunts 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, an alarm is triggered.

4.9.6 Auxiliary Mode 5

Auxiliary input function: Door Monitor
Auxiliary output activated by: Shunt (explanation below)

auxiliary relay if the door has been forced. If the Siren Settings is
enabled, the siren is activated.

In this mode, the auxiliary input functions as a door monitor switch
and is wired to the magnetic contact switch on the door. The
auxiliary relay is to be wired to the alarm system. If the door is
forced open, the controller waits for the period of the Forced Door
Delay time to elapse and then it activates the auxiliary relay. The
auxiliary setting sets the forced door delay period.

4.9.8 Auxiliary Mode 7

Auxiliary input function: Door Monitor
Auxiliary output activated by: Door Ajar (door held open)

For example, in Auxiliary Mode 7, the controller can trigger the
auxiliary relay, if it detects that the door has been held open (ajar)
too long. In this mode the auxiliary input functions as a door
monitor switch and is wired to the magnetic contact switch on the
door. The auxiliary relay is to be wired to the alarm system. If the
door is opened, the controller waits for the Door Ajar Delay time to
elapse and if the door does not close prior to the end of this period,
the controller activates the auxiliary relay. The auxiliary setting
defines the Door Ajar time.
