CRC200R USER GUIDE ISSUE 02
4-3
4.2.2.2 Reader Settings
The following information is required for each reader:
• The required relay operating time (the period for which the door/barrier is to stay open)
• The maximum time that a door can be held open before raising an alarm (applicable to
access control software only)
• Any time periods when a door/barrier is to be left unlocked/open (see 4.2.2.4 –Door Open
Time Zones)
• Whether anti-timeback is to be active and, if so, the anti-timeback period
Also, for the controller:
• Whether the controller is to be linked to control software
• If the controller is linked to control software, its node identity
When you have these details available, follow the procedure in section 5.5.1 to enter them into the
CRC200R.
4.2.2.3 Card Format
You must determine whether the cards that are to be read are in Clock & Data or Wiegand format.
If the format is Clock & Data, the number length and the card number location need to be identified
(refer to Appendix B for further information). For Wiegand format cards, the total number of bits
and the number of start bits, check bits, etc. need to be identified (refer to Appendix B for further
information). A site code is not required for these formats on this reader controller.
For standard 26-bit Wiegand format, there is a special option (W26) that avoids the need to enter
the details of the format. Here, the standard site code and card number lengths are adhered to.
Follow the procedure in section 5.5.5 to enter the card format parameters.
Note:
A useful feature to help identify the card format is provided by the ‘Card Test’ menu item.
This will check the format of a card presented to reader1 and display the format type,
number of digits/bits and the actual number on the card.
Follow the procedure in section 5.5.6 to check a card format.
4.2.2.4 Door Open Time Zones
Should any doors or barriers be left unlocked/open at specific times of the day on certain days of
the week?
The use of Door Open Time Zones enables doors to be set to be unlocked during specific times of
the day on certain days and controlled by a reader at all other times.
In addition to the two default time zones (0=always inactive, 1=always active), there are 2
programmable time zones (2 & 3). Any of the 4 time zones may be assigned to a doors/barrier
such that it may be open when the time zone is active and controlled by the reader when the time
zone is inactive.
Each of the two programmable time zones (2 &3) allow up to two active periods per day. Each of
these active periods can also be programmed to be active on specific days of the week.
4.2.2.5 Card Validity Time Zones
Are any of the cards to be valid only at specific times of the day on certain days of the week, or
valid on only one reader?
