Operating Equipment mode
When Equipment mode has been selected for a device, it operates in the following sequence:
1. When you perform a valid card swipe, two operations take place:
i. The relay activates, enabling the third-party equipment. The equipment can be
externally controlled.
ii. The LCD on the S700 reader shows you that the equipment has been activated. In
addition, an alarm is sent: Check-in enabled. There is also a Check-in Disabled and
a Check-in Equipment Fail Alarm.
Figure 63 S700 display: Equipment enabled
2. When the equipment is externally activated, the following takes place:
i. The equipment sends an output to signal that it is in use, causing the sense input to
change state on the S700 reader.
ii. The equipment must be activated within the configured value of Lock open time using
the Properties tab in the Devices application.
iii. The display on the S700 reader changes to the Equipment activated state.
iv. Cost Charging is optional, and can be implemented.
Note: When you implement this, you see a Card Valid Used or Card Valid Unused transaction.
If a card is swiped but the feedback input is not activated, the report shows a Card Valid
Unused transaction. If a card is swiped and the feedback input is activated, the report shows a
Card Valid Used transaction. These transactions can be used for a Cost charging scenario.
Note: As an example, Cost charging is implemented when the airport authority charges an
airline company for the use of a baggage carousel. This action works when an event is sent to
the AC2000 system and that can be used to start cost charging for the use of external, third-
party equipment.
v. While the S700 has the equipment enabled, the equipment can be deactivated and
reactivated repeatedly.
