3. Features and Concepts
Now that you have installed your AC-115 controller or
networked system of controllers, it is time to get familiar with its
features and concepts.
In this chapter you will learn about all the features that are
programmable without the use of the PC software. They are
the basic features of the AC-115 and can be programmed
directly from the controller’s programming keypad.
You will learn about the controller’s various modes of
operation, how to switch between the Modes of Operation,
Special Codes, Events and Event Actions.
The topics in this chapter are:
• Code Assignment (Lock Strike & Auxiliary)
• Modes of Operation
• Changing the Modes of Operation
• Events and Event Actions
3.1 Code Assignment (Lock Strike & Auxiliary)
Whenever an employee is added to an AC-115 from the
controller’s programming keypad or from a PC, by default the
employee code is set to activate the Lock Strike Output when
it is presented to a reader.
Each Employee Code can also be programmed to activate
only the Auxiliary Output, as well as both the Lock Strike and
Auxiliary Outputs at the same time.
Setting which Output(s) are activated when a code is
presented to a reader is called Code Assignment. See the
Programming Menu Quick Reference Guide on Page 22 for
more details on Code Assignment.
