The NetworX™ Series NX-1701E Proximity Card Reader is a microprocessor-controlled device designed to expand the capabilities of NetworX control panels by functioning as a proximity card reader and door control module. It can be integrated into various NetworX systems, with support for up to 15 card readers on NX-8E and NX-8 panels, 3 on NX-6 panels, and 2 on NX-4 panels (Flash panels only). The module is designed to control access in any or all partitions of the system.
Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: Approximately 38mm (W) x 114mm (L) x 25mm (D) with a 150mm cable.
- Operating Power: 12 VDC, supplied by the control panel or an NX-320E module.
- Current Draw: 40mA Standby with Green LED, 110mA Maximum.
- Operating Temperature: -31 to +151 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 to +66 degrees Celsius).
Installation and Wiring:
Installation involves wiring the card reader into the system. Key connections include:
- GREEN (DATA): Connects to the NetworX control panel DATA terminal for data signaling.
- BLACK (COM): Connects to the NetworX control panel COMMON terminal for power common.
- RED (POS): Connects to the NetworX control panel AUX POWER + terminal for power supply.
- WHITE (EGRESS): An optional EGRESS (exit) input. If used, a normally open egress switch connects between this terminal and COM.
- BLUE (OUTPUT): An optional open-collector (negative trigger) output for driving a relay. Connects between this terminal and AUX POWER +. The maximum rating is 14 volts @ 25mA. It's crucial to note that this is a low current output and should not be used to directly energize high current door openers.
Enrollment:
The NetworX control panels automatically detect and store the presence of all connected devices on the keypad bus, including the NX-1701E. To enroll, the system must be in Program Mode (as outlined in the control panel Installation Manual). Upon exiting Program Mode, the NX-8 control will automatically enroll devices within approximately 12 seconds, indicated by the Service LED illuminating. If an enrolled module is not detected later, the Service LED will illuminate.
Addressing:
Unlike other NetworX expanders, the NX-1701E determines its own address after installation. During programming, when prompted for the module device number, a card must be scanned at the reader. The reader will then beep its assigned address (1-15 long beeps, corresponding to addresses 113-127).
Programming:
Programming can be done using either an LED or LCD keypad. The process involves entering Program Mode, selecting the module address, and then programming specific locations.
Using the LED Keypad:
- Entering Program Mode: Press
* 8, then enter the 4-digit program code (default: 9713). The Stay, Chime, Exit, Bypass, and Cancel LEDs will flash. If the code is valid, the Service LED will flash, and the 5 function LEDs will illuminate steady.
- Entering Module Address: Scan a card. The card reader will address itself, and the Armed LED will illuminate, awaiting a programming location.
- Programming a Location: Enter
[location] #. If valid, the Armed LED extinguishes, the Ready LED illuminates, and zone LEDs show data for the first segment.
- Changing Location Data: Enter
[changed data] *. The Ready LED flashes to indicate data saving. The keypad increments to the next segment.
- Exiting a Location: Press
#. The Ready LED extinguishes, and the Armed LED illuminates.
- Reviewing Data: Enter
[location] #, then press * to display subsequent segments.
- Exiting Program Mode: Press
EXIT EXIT.
Using the LCD Keypad:
The steps are similar to the LED keypad, with the LCD display providing prompts for required data. Enabled features will show their numbers, while disabled features will show a hyphen.
Programming Data Types:
- Numerical Data: Values from 0-255 or 0-15, depending on segment size.
- Feature Selection: Used to toggle features on or off.
User Cards:
Adding and de-activating users requires one reader to be enabled for User Card Programming (Location 242, Segment 1, Option 1). It is recommended to use only one reader for this purpose, located near a keypad, as it will transfer information to all other readers.
To modify user cards, the reader must be placed into one of five modes:
- Add One User
- Add Multiple Users w/ Auto-Increment
- Activate One User
- De-Activate One User
- Delete/Reset One User
User Card Programming Steps (Master User required):
- Access Code Programming: Press
* 6, then enter the master code (default: 1234). The Ready LED flashes. User Number 2 is used for programming user cards.
- Add One User: Press
[STAY], then enter a 3-digit user number (e.g., 124 for 4-digit codes, 0024 for 6-digit codes). Scan the designated card. If the card is new, it's added and mapped. If existing, the reader triple beeps, and the user number is not incremented.
- Add Multiple Users with Auto-Increment: Press
[CANCEL] (or [NIGHT] on NX-1248E), then enter a 3-digit user number. Scan cards sequentially. After 30 seconds of no card scans, all readers update. By default, cards are added and activated. To add and de-activate simultaneously, scan and hold the card until two beeps are heard.
- Activate One User (Single User): Press
[CHIME], then enter a 3-digit user number. Scan any card. The card information is activated, and LED1 stops flashing after 30 seconds.
- De-Activate One User: Press
[BYPASS], then enter a 3-digit user number. Scan any card. The card information is cleared, and LED1 stops flashing after 30 seconds.
- Delete / Reset One User: Press
[EXIT], then enter a 3-digit user number. Scan any card. The card information is cleared, and LED1 stops flashing after 30 seconds. If User Number 0 is entered, the function applies to the user associated with the scanned card.
