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). 30,000 pin codes supported.
• 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 Exit PIN’s option requires pin codes to be entered before the user is allowed to exit.
• 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 30,000 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.
• The 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 ACTpro 2000 onboard buzzer will sound
intermittently if a technical fault (mains, tamper or door offline) condition exists.
Language
The ACTpro 3000 display supports the following languages English, Polish, French, Spanish,
Dutch and Italian. The language is selected from this menu.
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).
FIRE DOORS
This function allows a group of doors (or all doors) to be configured for fire override. A 0Volt
signal from a fire alarm (or other) system is applied to the AUX input on door 1. This maintains
normal operation. When the 0Volt signal is removed, the selected doors are held open until the
0Volt signal is re-applied. Typically, a normally-closed relay on the fire panel, with the common
connected to 0Volts, is used for this purpose. Please note that this facility is present for
convenience only, it does not remove the need to have an alternate mechanical means of escape.
