Access control applications   
3.38  EST3 Installation and Service Manual 
The figure shows the charging power coming from the 3-PPS/M 
in the control panel. The access control system requires a 24 Vdc 
power supply to power the CRC and to charge its battery. The 
3-SAC connects to the CRC through the SAC bus. 
When an authorized card is read at a card reader, the CRC 
provides power from its internal battery to the door strike and 
unlocks the door. 
Power supply 
Jumper settings determine the power source and usage for the 
CRC. Refer to the installation sheet for correct jumper settings. 
Configure the input power as DC. Configure the output power as 
intermittent. 
Hardware configuration 
The control panel must contain the following rail modules: 
•  3-SAC Security Access Control module 
•  3-PPS/M Primary Power Supply module 
The 3-SAC module supports the SAC bus. Power for the CRC is 
taken from the 3-PPS/M and is routed with the data lines in a 
cable composed of two twisted-pair wires. 
SDU programming 
When configuring the system for this application, you’ll need to 
configure the CRC and define the appropriate lock type in the 
SDU. For this application set the Lock Type to Strike. 
ACDB operation 
Note that a CRC configured and programmed for intermittent 
lock use cannot support an open schedule (a period when the 
lock is kept open). Such a schedule would quickly drain the CRC 
battery and the lock would close. 
You should document the CRC configuration and include this in 
your project plans. Make a copy of this documentation available 
to the site security staff who will use the ADCB to create and 
assign schedules.
