SITE CODE 1
This function allows the 8-digit site primary code for the system to be entered. The controller will
recognize only cards with a matching site code. This code should also be quoted whenever
additional cards or tags are being ordered for this installation. The factory default site-code is
10-2770-09, which allows the use of the test card supplied with the controller.
SITE CODE 2
This function allows an 8-digit site secondary code for the system to be entered. In addition to the
cards containing the primary site code, the controller will also recognize cards with this site code.
In this case, an offset may also be specified - this is a value that is added to the card number of
cards bearing the secondary site code, to prevent conflicts. If the secondary site code is not being
used, it should be set to 00-0000-00.
CARD FORMAT
• When “Active” is set to YES, the controller will recognize cards with a non-standard (custom)
format. The card information must be encoded using ISO/ABA Track 2 format and may contain
from 2 to 37 digits.
• When “Check All” is set to YES, the controller will also allow cards encoded with one of its
standard built-in formats. This could be used (for example) in a transitional period while older
legacy cards are being phased out.
• The Length field contains the total number of digits on the custom card. If this value is non-
zero, then any card with a different number of digits will be rejected.
• The Site field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the site code field on the
card. The length specifies how many digits are in the site code (1-5).
•TheCard field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the card number field on
the card. The length specifies how many digits are in the card number (1-5).
•TheIssue field allows the entry of the location of the starting digit of the issue number field on
the card. The length specifies how many digits are in the issue number (1-3). If issue numbering
is not being used, then the start digit and length should be set to zero.
Change PIN
The Change PIN function allows a different PIN to be configured for the installer. The user will
be prompted to enter a new six-digit code (it will not be displayed). The PIN must then be re-
entered for verification. The PIN will be accepted as long as it does not conflict with any existing
code (or duress code).
Factory Default
This function returns all settings to the factory default. All user names, timezones, card enables,
log information and Operator and Installer Code an all other settings are defaulted. All
information previously programmed will be lost, so use this function with care.
In situations where the Installer Code is unknown the Controller may be defaulted as follows.
Holding down the ✘ key while powering up the Controller, when requested for a Site Code enter
the ACT default Site Code 10-2770-09, When asked to default controller hit the ✔ key to default.
It is always a good idea to factory default a new controller prior to initial configuration, or if the
controller software has been changed or upgraded.
