Reader Expanders | Reader 1-2 Options

Options

  • Invert Floor Relays * : This is a legacy option which does not function. If necessary, relays assigned to elevator control can be inverted individually under Programming | Outputs | Options.
  • Control Relays On Comm Failure * : When enabled the output expander used for elevator control will control the state of the relays when they go offline. When disabled the output expander used for elevator control will not change the state of the relays when they go offline.
  • Relays Activated In Comm Failure * : When enabled the reader expander will activate the relays when they go offline. When disabled the reader expander will deactivate the relays when they go offline.
  • Disable Red LED Processing: When enabled the reader expander will not control the Red LED (L2) and the output can be used for another function. This is particularly useful if the attached proximity reader LED's is controlled with one wire. When disabled the reader will turn on the Red LED when the door is locked.
  • Disable Green LED Processing: When enabled the reader expander will not control the Green LED (L1) and the output can be used for another function. This is particularly useful if the attached proximity reader LED's is controlled with one wire. When disabled the reader will turn on the Green LED when the door is unlocked.
  • Disable Buzzer Processing: When enabled the reader expander will not control the Buzzer Output (BZ) and the output can be used for another function. When disabled the reader will control the buzzer output.
  • Use Programmed Card Expiry: Used for short term users (such as visitors or hotel guests) that will be configured with a start (check in) and end (check out) time. These options are designed to work with Hotel card readers and allow the reader port to alter the access control decision of a user based on the data sent from the guest card.

Offline Options

  • Door Sense Enabled: When enabled the reader will send door events when the door input is opened or closed. This is enabled by default but should be disabled on at least one reader port if both reader ports are controlling the same door (ENTRY and EXIT access control). This option is ignored during normal operation and is only relevant for the offline operation of the reader expander. To program the Door Sense function for normal operation refer to the Inputs tab of the Doors menu.
  • Bond Sense Input Enabled: Enables the magnetic bond sense functions. The magnetic bond sense is a contact that indicates if the magnetic bond between the electromagnet and the clamp is complete. It is used when a separate door contact and bond sense input are to be used and the generation of door events should be processed using both inputs. This option is ignored during normal operation and is only relevant for the offline operation of the reader expander. To program the Bond Sense function for normal operation refer to the Inputs tab of the Doors menu.
  • REX Enabled: When enabled the reader expander will generate request to exit events from the REX input on the reader expander. When disabled the keypad will not generate any REX events. This option is ignored during normal operation and is only relevant for the offline operation of the reader expander. To program the REX function for normal operation, refer to the Inputs tab of the Doors menu.
  • REN Enabled: When enabled the reader expander will generate request to enter events from the REN input on the reader expander. When disabled no action will be taken for the Request To Enter function. This option is ignored during normal operation and is only relevant for the offline operation of the reader expander. To program the REN function for normal operation refer to the Inputs tab of the Doors menu.
  • Enable Beam Function On Input: When enabled the reader expander will process the sense input for beam control. Beam control allows the reader expander to control an automatic gate which must have its contacts held open even if the pathway is blocked. When disabled the reader will not perform beam processing.
  • Invert Door State Control: When enabled the door contact input is inverted. This does not affect the input functionality if it is being used. When disabled door contact functions normally.
  • Invert Sense State Control: When enabled the reader will invert the bond sensing input. When disabled bond sensing will operate normally.
  • Invert REX Input: When enabled the reader will invert the request to exit input. When disabled REX input will operate normally.
  • Invert REN Input: When enabled the reader will invert the request to enter input. When disabled REN input will operate normally.
  • Always Allow REX: When enabled the reader will always allow a request to exit event even if the door is forced open. This will not restart the forced door or the door alarm operation. When disabled REX input will operate only when the door is closed.
  • Recycle Door Open Time on REX: When enabled the reader will extend the door open time when the REX is received. The REX must be received during the normal open time or during the pre-alarm time for the timer to be recycled. Pressing the request to exit once the door has been open too long will require that the door be closed. This option will not affect the ability for the request to exit action to unlock the door. When disabled REX input will not alter the door open time once the door has been opened.
  • Forced Door Sends Door Open: When enabled the reader expander will process door forced open events as door open events. When disabled the reader will process forced door events as normal.
  • Recycle REX Time: When enabled the door open time will restart when the door is held open and the REX is pressed at each point the pre-alarm starts, silencing the pre-alarm and restarting the open timer. This allows a door to be held while furniture is being moved or to provide extended access for mobility users.
