TESTING READERS
To Test the Readers:
1. Properly configure Readers, Inputs, and Outputs using the C•CURE Administration
application and put the reader Online.
2. Measure the supply voltage to the reader.
The voltage can be measured between pin 1 (+12 VDC supply) and pin 4 (ground)
on the P4 connector. The voltage must be +12 VDC (+/-5%).
3. Check the reader address setting.
The reader must be set to an unused address, between 1 and 8, when connected to
the apC or iSTAR. Use rotary switch SW1 to set the reader address.
4. Check the reader for communications to the controller by observing LED2 and
LED3. (RM2L-4000-PI26 only)
5. Check the supervised inputs. Configure the inputs on the controller using the
C•CURE Administration application.
With no switches or resistors connected to the supervised input 1 and 2 lines, the
C•CURE Monitoring application should report inputs as “Open Loop”. When you
connect the 1,000-ohm resistor to the input terminals, the C• CURE Monitoring
application should report that the input as “Deactivated”. Supervised inputs #1 is
found at pins 4 and 5 of P5. Supervised input #2 is found at pins 6 and 7 of P5.
6. Check the outputs.
The outputs can be functionally tested by using the “momentary activate” feature in
the C• CURE Monitoring application. When the outputs are momentarily activated,
the signal will change state for a few seconds.
An RM2L-4000-PI26 and RM2L-NH can be used in area/partition for signal
acknowledgement.
7. Check the reader interface.
The reader interface can only be tested by presenting a card with the appropriate
technology to the reader. Reading a card will cause the display to show “Access
Granted” or “Access Denied,” depending on the clearance of the card.
CONFIGURATION
NOTES
The change to the default reader settings requires the use of special program cards that
are available from the Software House Applications Department. Program cards are
used to set a specific MIFARE read key and change other settings including card
technologies to be read.
To Program a Card Reader:
1. Power cycle the reader.
2. Present the .INI card. The reader’s internal amber LED turns off within the read head
compartment to indicate the reader is ready for the first program card.
3. Present the first program card. The amber LED turns on solid.
