ACTsmart2 Operation
The ACTsmart2 family consists of Proximity Only (ACTsmart2 1070), Pin and Proximity (ACTsmart2
1080) and PIN Only (ACTsmart2 1090) units. Each ACTsmart2 can operate in standalone mode or up
to 8 ACTsmart2 devices can be connected on a RS485 network. TheACTsmart2 will support a maximum
of 1000 tokens. A token may be a card, keyfob or a PIN code. Each unit is contained in a rugged
polycarbonate housing, with stainless steel keys, and potted electronics, allowing for indoor and outdoor
installation.
Programming the unit is achieved via the keys and LED. For quick and easy installation, the ACTsmart2
has a default configuration, which is suitable for most installations. Cards and PIN codes can be
programmed into the ACTsmart2 very quickly. ACT recommends that the user keep track of the
Cardholders and PIN users on the system by using the User List at the end of the manual. Make copies
of this sheet and enter all User details on it. This will allow users to be deleted later on, even if a card is
lost or a user forgets their PIN code. Additional User Lists can be downloaded from the resource section
of our website at www.accesscontrol.ie
To improve security, PIN codes can be increased from 4 to 6 digits in length. Normally only card users
are allowed access through the ACTsmart2 PIN and Prox unit. For maximum security, the unit may be
programmed to require all users to enter a PIN code after presenting a card. For lower security
applications, another programming option allows access to PIN only users. A duress code feature is also
available
The built-in inputs and outputs are programmable, allowing the ACTsmart2 to be used in a wide variety
of applications from simple door access, to cash offices and fire exits. Each unit also has built-in tamper
monitoring for improved security.
ACT also provide an easy-to-use PC application (ACTWinSmart), which allows the installer to configure
systems quickly. Up to 8 ACTsmart2 units may be connected to the PC. The end-user may also use
ACTWinSmart to monitor day-to-day activity, add new users etc.
ACTsmart2 Programming
Press the
✘
button followed by the programming code (initially 9999). The LED will flash amber while
in programming mode. If
✘
is pressed at any time or no key is pressed within 30 seconds, programming
mode is exited. If the LED flashes green during programming, then a card presentation is expected. If
the LED flashes red, then a keypress is expected. While the ACTsmart2 is busy performing a task, (Eg.
Defaulting memory, adding cards), the green led will turn on and the buzzer will sound an elongated
tone.
Note: In most Programming Menus there is a step that is marked (optional)*. This setting only applies
to a Networked System (see Programming a Network System).
