Installation of the Controller
17047 Ver 1.8 DRAFT C 8 Easikey® 1000
3.6 Battery Backup
Battery backup is a feature of the power supply chosen. The capacity of the battery required
should be calculated based on:
• The current consumption of the controller and readers (up to 600mA).
• The current consumption of the locks when operating normally (up to 1A each).
• The type of lock (fail-safe or fail-secure).
• The length of time the system should operate without mains power.
Example
An Easikey 1000 with two readers and two 300mA fail-safe locks will continuously draw
about 1.2A. A 2.8Ah battery will therefore provide approximately 2 hours supply.
Note
The battery is connected to the battery terminals B+ and B-. When the battery is low
(less than 12V), the green LED is constantly lit except when in Editor mode.
3.7 Fitting the Controller
The controller should be mounted in a secure but accessible location bearing in mind that
operators are going to have to program the system at the controller. The controller should be
mounted so that the display is at about eye level.
There are several holes on the backplate that may be used for mounting.
If you are using the Boxed Easikey 1000 there are several holes in the back of the box (see
Figure 2 and Figure 3) that may be used for mounting.
3.8 External Readers
Each Easikey 1000 controller can have an external reader fitted which can be used to
administer the system in conjunction with or instead of the internal reader. The external reader
is used when keys other than proximity are used. The external reader, if used, is connected to
the controller via plug in sockets on connectors 23-26 inclusive situated on the bottom edge of
the controller.
3.9 Printer
3.9.1 Printer Specification
An 80-column dot matrix printer with a serial interface is required. The serial interface must be
set, using switches and/or jumpers, with the following parameters:
• 4800 baud
• 8 data bits, 2 stop bits
• No parity
• Hardware handshake using DTR/CTS. When the printer is busy, it should force DTR low.
PAC have used the EPSON LX series and the OKI Microline 182 printers successfully in the
past.
3.9.2 Printer Cable
The following cable is required:
Use 0.22mm² 4-core unscreened signal cable, maximum length 15m.
