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 20,000 codes on the ACT2000 and 1,000 may
be used on the ACT1000.
• The Learn option allows 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
ACT2000 supports learned card for all 20,000 users and the ACT1000 supports learned cards
for the first 1,000 users.
• 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 20,000 users on
the ACT2000 and the first 1,000 users on the ACT1000.
• 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).
