5 General features
5.1 Power Up
The factory default configuration is BCLINK. In this configuration the reader
sounds a rising tone at power up.
If the reader is reconfigured by any means to another interface, the new configura-
tion is remembered so at subsequent power up events the configuration does NOT
default to BC-link. Under these conditions there is no rising tone at power up.
5.2 Horn / Buzzer Sounds
Using BCLINK configuration the horn outputs all tones that are defined within the
BCLINK protocol. When using other configurations the horn acts the same as the
xx500 series readers.
5.3 Key Presses
When the reader is configured to use BCLINK protocol, the key presses acts the
same as the BC43 and work according to the BCLINK protocol.
Configurable through a configuration card so that each time a key is pressed the
horn sounds continuously and the YELLOW LED is lit. When the key is released
the sound stops and the YELLOW LED cease to be lit.
Alternately, so that the horn input can be controlled externally and also so that the
Yellow LED doesn’t light at all on key presses.
5.4 Addressable Entry/Exit (BCLINK)
When the reader is using BCLINK configuration the external jumper connections,
defines the address of the reader whether it is an Entry or an Exit reader.
5.5 Programming Mode
Programming mode is enabled when powering up the reader with the ‘B’ button
pressed for 2 seconds. This is indicated by red and green LEDs blinking.
5.5.1 Timeout Period
When the reader is in programming mode and if no cards are presented to the
reader or short code keys pressed, the reader will automatically time out to normal
operation after 60 seconds.
