ACTsmart2 Operation
The ACTsmart2 family consists of Proximity Only (ACTsmart2 1070), Pin and Proximity
(ACTsmart21080) and PIN Only (ACTsmart2 1090) units. Each ACTsmart2 can operate in
standalone mode or up to 16 ACTsmart2 devices can be connected on a RS485 network.
The ACTsmart2 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 conguration, 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.
act.eu.
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 ofces and re 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 congure 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 r button followed by the programming code (initially 9999). The LED will ash
amber while in programming mode. If
r is pressed at any time or no key is pressed within
30 seconds, programming mode is exited. If the LED ashes green during programming,
then a card presentation is expected. If the LED ashes 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).
