5. Convexs/Invexs LED and Beeper control

The Convexs/Invexs has three LED’s (red, green and blue) and a buzzer to give additional information to the

user. At the backside of the Convexs/Invexs, a status LED (blue) and ID led (green) are available.

5.1. User LED’s

UL LED (green), controlled by a hardware signal to connector A8

Or if rs485NR protocol is used, UL LED is controlled over the RS485 communication line.

NA LED (red), controlled by a hardware signal to connector A10

Or if rs485NR protocol is used, NA LED is controlled over the RS485 communication line.

Status LED (blue):

The blue LED is used as status indication to the user.

Up from certain AEOS and firmware versions the blue LED can also be controlled over the RS485NR

protocol. Otherwise it must be activated at the Configuration (AEreco). If activated the blue LED will be

active if both other LED’s or OFF. So if both UL and NA are OFF )NA LED must be OFF ±1 sec) , the

blue LED automatically will be ON.

5.2. Beeper

The Beeper can be controlled by:

Hardware signal to connector A7

Or if rs485NR2 protocol is used, Beeper is controlled over the RS485 communication line.

Software if card is detected (at AEreco: NA/UL beep):

o If UL LED is activated (valid card) beeper is shortly activated

o IF NA LED is activated (invalid card) beeper is 3 times shortly activated

The volume of the beeper can also be controlled by AEreco (valid for both hardware and software setting).

The beeper is also used for indicating the status of loading the configuration at the Convexs/Invexs.

5.3. Status LED’s

The blue LED at the front side is used to indicate if a configuration is loaded at the Convexs/Invexs.

The blue status LED at the backside is used to indicate the status of the Convexs/Invexs reader, the green ID

LED to indicate the detection of a card.

See Installation sheet for detailed information.

6. Invexs PIN modes

On the Invexs different modes for using the PIN code are available. These are depending off the used

communication protocol.

6.1. RS485NR

The activation of the PIN is controlled over the RS485NR communication, by the used AEbcs. The AEbcs

determine if the PIN code is activated or not (and if also the PIN code LED’s are activated then).

6.2. Wiegand

The PIN code (if the LED’s behind the ciphers are activated) acts different, depending on the version of the

Invexs firmware:

Invexs versions before 2.06

If card is detected by the Invexs, the PIN code LED’s are turned on.

At Wiegand the PIN code LED’s are turned off by: change at NA or UL LED, or after time-out

Invexs versions after 2.06

Up from 2.06 it is possible to make a setting on AEreco (version > 2.1.0) to set the PIN code always on.

Default setting as with version before 2.06, if via AEreco the new option is activated, the PIN code is

always on (independent of a badge detection)

This option requires also modified firmware at the used AEpack (check AEpack version file for this).
