System Settings
The System Settings menu allows the installer to access a number of different configuration
menus controlling different aspects of the setup of the controller. Pressing the ✔
✔
✔
✔ key toggles
the setting of a displayed option.
Operation
This menu allows the installer to select or de-select a number of options relating to the
default operation of the controller.
•
The PIN Only option allows reader-less operation using PIN codes that are directly
entered on the keyboard (or on an external keypad). Up to 2000 codes may be used.
•
The Learn option allows the first 2000 users to use randomly coded cards. Almost any
card with valid ISO track 2 data may be used (for example bankcards) as well as some
types of wiegand card.
•
The Ext. Keypad option allows an external ACT20 keypad to be used for PIN entry on an
ACT1000 controller. By default, the ACT1000’s own keypad is used.
•
The KPD Release option allows the ✔
✔
✔
✔ key on an ACT1000 to function as an exit switch.
•
The Exit PIN’s option is applicable for ACT1000 PIN-only systems. When set, it requires
PIN codes to be entered before the user is allowed to exit.
•
The Second Door option allows an auxiliary door to be controlled on an ACT1000 unit.
•
The User Limiting option will prevent access to tracked users when the user limit is
reached.
•
The One-To-One option allows any card number to be assigned to any of the first
1000/2000 users.
•
The Multiple option allows users to have more than one card on the system.
Display
•
The Backlight option forces the keypad to be permanently illuminated, overriding the
default automatic operation, which is to operate only when a user menu has been entered.
•
Keypad Beep option forces the keypad to make a short beep in response to any key being
pressed. This option is selected by default.
•
The Show Status option enables the displaying of continuous door status on the display.
This option is enabled by default.
•
The Show Events option enables the displaying of events on the display as they occur.
This option is enabled by default.
•
The Handshake option is used when a serial printer is connected. When selected,
information will only be sent to the printer when a positive signal is applied to the RX pin
on the printer port. This may be used to temporarily halt printing when the printer is
disconnected or out of paper.
•
The Tech Bleep option specifies that the ACT2000’s onboard buzzer will sound
intermittently if a technical fault (mains, tamper or door offline) condition exists.
PIN Length
The length of PIN codes used in PIN Only and PIN & Card modes may be set between 4 and
9 digits. If a PIN length greater than six is set, then the length of the operator and installer
codes will increase to this length. (Leading zeros added to PIN).
