VproX 1000-M

1000 KEYS/TAGS SYSTEM - MULTIENTRANCES

DESCRIPTION

VproX 1000 is an advanced access control system based around the individual unique Videx Coded Contact Key or
Proximity Key giving over 4 billion combinations. System can handle up to 30 main doors ( 4 doors included on board )
and up to 100 apartment doors. All additional main doors and apartment doors need a local unit VproX 1000-A
(connected to the VproX 1000 system by 3 wires BUS shielded, for a max. distance of 500 mts and max. resistance of
10 Ohm).

Main features.
VproX 1000 system has the possibility:
~ to store up to 1000 keys/Tags.
~ to connect up to 8 Readers Module ART.847 / 848 for contact Key or ART.849 for Proximity Key ( 2 each main door)
and connection can be made by using 5 standard wires, not shielded, for a max. distance of 200 mts and max. resistance
of 10 Ohm.
~ to connect up to 16 additional main door ( by using VproX 1000-A coded from 105 to 120)
~ to connect up to 100 apartment unit (by using VproX 1000-A device)
~ to select which main door the key/Tag can access (up to 20 doors, 4 included on board and 16 additional main door by
using VproX 1000-A device)
~ to select which apartment door the key/Tag can access
~ to select one of 4 "time band" during which it will be possible to entry
~ to store one or more Master key/Tag (with it, it is possible to entry everywhere)
~ to store more than one key/Tag each apartment (no limit)
~ to store the same key/Tag in difference apartments
~ to open main door and apartment door with the same key/Tag
~ to modify the setting parameters of a stored key/Tag
~ to delete a lost key/Tag
~ to keep in memory the last 512 accesses (Data Report), scroll them directly on display or download them in a printer or
a PC.
~ to connect a Videx printer Art.450 (by 25pole connector) to read out:

- No. of key/tag (3 digits: from 0 to 999 or ??? when not stored)

- No. of key/Tag where it allows to entry (2 digit: from 01 to 99 or "M" if it is a Master key/Tag)

- No. of main door (2 digits: from D1 to D20) or No. of apartment unit (2 digits: from U01 to U99)

- Qualification of the key/Tag ( 1 character: Y=yes, N=no)

- Time of access (hh:mm)

- Date of access (MM/DD)
~ to connect a PC (by 9pole connector standard RS232 interface and a program disk):

- to write the users name on a Database

- to have all data report stored in a file (on Diskette or Hard Disk)

- to see on screen (or to print ) all data report with the respective user name

- to see on screen (or to print ) the data report about only a single key/Tag
~ to connect an additional Button to close Relay 1 contact for programmed time
~ to connect an ALARM unit

Highest protection against sabotage: the Control Unit " VproX 1000" (with built in all relays) is remote from the Readers
Art.847/848/849; after 5 attempts with unstored or not qualified key/Tag, an alarm will be caused (ALARM relay will be
on) and the Control Unit will disable all Readers (self protection) for programmed time, all data will be stored into own
memory, or paper by printer (if installed) or PC (if connected).
High protection of Key/Tag DATA: all Key/Tag DATA are stored in two different memory (EEPROM); one remain on
VproX 1000 board (colour BLACK) and one can be use as spare (colour RED) in case something will happen to the first
one.

System has a DISPLAY that shows all data during programming mode; while during "stand by" it displays the time and
date.
System has a keypad 4x4 buttons for following:

- Program Master code to access to the programming menu

- Program up to 1000 keys/Tags with possibility to select which apartment door, which main door and in which "time
band" the key/Tag can access

- Delete one or more keys/Tags

- Program the ALARM relay time ( 1-255 secs)

- Program each other relay time ( 1-255 secs)

- Program 4 "time band" ( hh:mm START, hh:mm STOP and week DAY each) during which it will be possible to use a
stored keys/Tags with this facility

- Program "Hours, Date and week Day".

INITIALIZATION

Note: In order to avoid electric discharges which could give problems to the system, we suggest not to install the cables

together with other power lines (AC electric lock cables, mains cables, lift cables, etc) or use a shielded cable for the
Readers connection and for the BUS line. When the installation is concluded and carried out according to wiring diagram,
place the jumper J1 (battery back-up for Clock/Calendar) in ON position.
If you have installed some VproX 1000-A units, you must set in binary code its Dip-switch bank (No. of Unit and Relay
time) before power up the system. To program it as an Apartment Unit you have to choose Nr. from 1 to 99 and from 105
to 120 to program it as an additional Main door Unit .
Power up the System and program it by " VproX 1000 PROGRAMMING" Flow Chart. Then, power off the System and
disconnect the "BACKUP MEMORY" (keep it in a safe place). At the end, power up the System and the VproX 1000 is
ready to work.

OPERATION

In stand by operation the System shows on DISPLAY the current TIME and DATA; when a user inserts a "stored
key/Tag" in a Reader (Main door or Apartment door) , the Printer (if present) will print the operation, the LEDs on
Reader will be green and a sharp "beep" will give out. If it's not a "stored key/Tag" the display will show ‘???’, the LEDs
on Reader will be red and a low "beep" will give out; the Printer will print the operation with the "???" instead of key/Tag
No. . All Data Report will be stored into memory (Eeprom) present in the System.
If the "BUS FAIL" LED is ON means that there are problems in the serial BUS connection with the Apartment Unit
VproX 1000-A.
If the "PE" LED is ON means that the paper is empty or the Printer is not connect.
If you have the "internal Printer" Art.450, you can advance the paper by pressing "FF" button.
If you want to know if a key/Tag is stored, keep pressed "#" button ( Display will show "TEST KEY"), release button and
insert the unknown key/Tag ( DISPLAY shows the key/Tag number ); at the end repeat the same procedure to came back
in stand-by mode.
If you want to download all Data Report Memory (the last 512 accesses) you must press ‘D’ button on the keypad (
“REPORT? 1=LPT - 2=DISPLAY” on display) and press ‘1’ if you want to send all to the printer or press ‘2’ to scroll
them on display by using "*" button.

VP1000 Windows software

The VP1000 Windows software is designed to allow the main features of the VproX 1000 key CPU to be carried out from a PC:

Installation :

To install the program run SETUP.EXE from the root directory on the CD. After the setup is complete, the VP1000 program will appear
in the start menu on your computer.

The first time the program is run it will ask for the communication port the VP1000 is connected to and the number of doors on the
system:-

Communication port setup

The communication port on the side of the Vprox1000 CPU (Labelled RS232) should be connected to a spare communications port on
the PC by means of a serial cable. When you run the program for the first time, it will prompt you to select the communications port.
Simply click on the port number you have connected the Vprox1000 CPU to (i.e. Com1, Com2, Com3 or Com4) and click OK.
The program will remember the communication port so this should not need to be done again unless the communication port is
changed. To change the communication port :

• From the main screen select SETUP

• Select the port settings tab

• Select the new communications port and click OK

Number of doors

To setup the number of doors on the system :

• From the main screen select setup

• Select the No. of doors tab

• Select the number of doors and press OK

Main screen

From the main screen it is possible to view the last five users of the system. It will show the door they used, whether they were
excepted through the door or not, there key number and the time/date they used the system. The last users line will be shown in green
if they entered the building and red if they were denied access. A photo of the last user can also be shown.

The main screen also shows the state of the door relays. (Either active [Green] or not active [Red]).
To the right of the screen are a number of buttons which allow you to navigate through the system :

User log

: From here you can view a log of the users on the system. It is also possible to download the last 511 users from the CPU.

Setup

: From here it is possible to setup the system as well as add, edit and delete users.

User List

: This screen will give you a list of all the users currently programmed into the system.

Help

: This is what you are reading now.

User Log

The user log is a database containing records of all the users who have used the system.

For each user the following information is recorded :

• User name

• Key number

• Door number accessed

• Was access granted or denied?

• Time of access

• Date of access

From the user log page it is possible to download the last 511 log entries from the Vprox1000 CPU. To do this simply press the
download CPU log button and the download will commence.
To the left of the screen there are four buttons to navigate the database. These buttons are self explanatory.
The database has no limit to the number of records it can hold. So a DELETE button is also available to remove all records or a
selection of records to prevent the database using valuable hard drive space.
The FIND button allows you to find a particular user name or key number.
After viewing a particular key, to go back to the full database press the SHOW ALL RECORDS button.
If a hard copy is required for the user you are viewing or for all users, press the PRINT button. A standard print dialogue box will
appear. Simply choose the printer and press print.
Finally, when the UPDATE IN REAL TIME box is ticked, new entries will appear on the screen as they happen. If this box is not ticked,
the entries will be recorded in the database but will not appear on the screen.
