programming mode and enter the normal working mode.
3） Successfully set parameters, 2 beeps;

This document describes the ZDAC-236C access control device, outlining its specifications, operational features, and maintenance procedures.

Function Description

The ZDAC-236C is an access control device that supports multiple door opening modes, including authorized card, public PIN, and a combination of card plus personal PIN. It features programmable settings for various security functions such as anti-break alarm, door sensor alarm, and lock relay time. The device can store up to 1000 RFID cards and supports a 4-digit public PIN. It allows for the enrollment and deletion of individual authorized cards, as well as the deletion of all cards by restoring factory defaults. The system operates in a programming mode for configuration and a normal working mode for daily operation. In programming mode, the controller cannot perform normal function instructions and will automatically exit if no instruction is received within 20 seconds.

• Key In Wrong Programming Instruction: Green LED is on, Red LED flashes, 3 short beeps.

Programming Functions

All functions are set in programming mode by entering [*]+[6 digits programming PIN]. Parameters can be set repeatedly, with the last setting being effective.

• Enter Programming Mode: Press [*]+[6 digits programming PIN], 2 beeps.
  • The controller cannot perform normal function instructions in this mode.
  • If no programming instruction is received within 20 seconds, the system automatically exits programming mode.
  • Successful parameter settings are indicated by 2 beeps; failed settings by 3 beeps.
  • If an input instruction is mistaken before completion, pressing [*] cancels the setting with a long beep.
• Change Programming PIN: Press [0]+[6 digits new programming PIN]+[repeat 6 digits new programming PIN], 2 beeps.
• Set Door Open Mode:
  • Card or Public PIN: Press [1]+[0], 2 beeps.
  • Card plus Personal PIN: Press [1]+[1], 2 beeps.
• Set Lock Relay Time: Press [2]+[TT], 2 beeps (TT is unlocking time in seconds, e.g., 03 for 3 seconds).
• Set Public PIN: Press [3]+[4 digits public PIN], 2 beeps. To eliminate all public PINs, press [3]+[0000], 2 beeps.
• Set Anti-Break Alarm:
  • Disable: Press [4]+[0], 2 beeps.
  • Enable: Press [4]+[1], 2 beeps.
• Enrolling Cards: Press [5]+[8 digits card number] or present a card to the controller. A beep, then 2 beeps confirm successful addition. To enroll more cards, repeat the process. Press [*] to finish.
  • Note: If the rearward 4 digits of an 8-digit card number are the same for two cards, only one will be enrolled. If a card number already exists, the control will give 3 beeps.
• Set Check Door Sensor State Before Open the Door:
  • Disable: Press [6]+[0], 2 beeps.
  • Enable: Press [6]+[1], 2 beeps.
• Deleting Authorized Card: Press [7]+[4 digits card number] or present the card to the controller, 2 beeps. Repeat for more cards. Press [*] to finish. To delete all authorized cards, restore factory defaults.
• Set Door Sensor Alarm State:
  • Disable: Press [8]+[0], 2 beeps.
  • Enable: Press [8]+[1], 2 beeps.
  • When enabled, the controller will emit a continuous long beep if the door is not closed after normal opening, or if the door is not opened through the controller.
• Enrolling A Team Connective Cards: Press [9]+[8 digits first card number]+[8 digits end card number], 2 beeps.
• Exit Programming State: Press [*], 2 beeps. If no programming instruction is received within 20 seconds, the system will automatically exit programming mode.

User Operations

• Card or Public PIN Mode:
  • Read authorized card: Short beep, green light on, yellow light off, door opens.
  • Public PIN entered: Green light on, yellow light off, door opens. The 4-digit public PIN must be typed continuously with less than 2 seconds between key presses. If the interval exceeds 2 seconds, the system exits PIN input.
  • Wrong PIN: Press [*] and re-enter the correct PIN.
• Door Opening Mode of Card + PIN:
  • Read authorized card: After a beep, enter the correct 4-digit Public PIN within 5 seconds. Green light on, door unlocked.
  • If PIN is not entered within 5 seconds, a long beep sounds, and the door remains locked.
  • If a wrong 4-digit PIN is entered, a long beep sounds, and the door remains locked. Re-read the card and re-enter the correct PIN.
  • If less than 4 digits are entered for the PIN, press [*] and directly input the correct PIN to unlock.
  • Read unauthorized card: A beep, then a long beep when pressing the first PIN, and the door remains locked.

Maintenance Features

Installation Guidelines

• Avoid 100KHz-150KHz frequency sources within 50CM of the controller.
• Maintain an installation distance of ≥50CM between two unifying machines, or one unifying machine and another 125KHz card reader.
• When "Check door sensor when unlocking" is enabled, the controller checks the door sensor state. If the door sensor is separated, the controller considers the door already opened. In this state, the door will remain locked regardless of the door opening method, except when using the fire control door opening button.
• Power Supply: Always cut off 12VDC power supply during installation and connection. Connecting with electricity is strictly prohibited.

Restore Factory Defaults

• Method 1 (via programming): Press [8]+[6], 2 beeps, then 3 long beeps, 8 short beeps after 120 seconds, and the device enters normal working state.
• Method 2 (physical reset):
  1. Remove the controller.
  2. Use metal tweezers to short connect the J2.
  3. The controller will emit a beep, then 2 beeps, and the restored factory default programming PIN is 990101.

Frequently Asked Questions

• If the controller continuously sends out 8 short sounds after starting, it indicates insufficient power source current or voltage.
