15263 Ver 2.1 DRAFT E PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Installation Guide

1.3 Ver 1 Facilities

This section describes the features available on the PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controllers.

Note

Many of the PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controller features are only available via a PC.

1.3.1 Reader Channels

The PAC Portico 2200/1200 series has SIG2 connectors which allow for two readers to be connected to a

single door channel for entry and exit or general access.

Not applicable when connecting Wiegand readers “directly” (not using a 2012 Wiegand interface) to the

controller. If two Wiegand readers are required to be connected to a channel, each reader must be

connected to a 2012 Wiegand interface module.

1.3.2 Front Panel

The door controllers can be purchased without a front panel. However, at least one is required for basic

configuration. It is recommended that controllers without panels are used only as slaves and that at least

one controller on a site has a front panel. The front panel is detachable and can be fitted to any

controller.

Pressing the ? key on the front panel will produce the following display:

type Mn Vx-y

where

type is the controller type (e.g. 2244 indicates 2200, 2224 indicates 1200).

Mn refers to the system type:

n=0 for master door controller (standalone system)

n=1 for MS-DOS system (not PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Ver 2)

n=2 for PC-based system

n=3 for slave door controller (any system)

Vx-y is the software version number.

Example

2244 M2 V1-0

This is a PAC Portico 2200 with software version 1.0, running in mode 2.

1.3.3 Power Supply Unit (PSU)

The 8A PSU provides the following features:

• Automatic input voltage detection - the power supply operates from a mains input of between 85V

ac and 250V ac. There is no need for separate models for different mains supplies.

• Lock output voltage - 12V or 24V dc detection - the lock output voltage can be set to 12V or 24V

dc.

• Lock output rating - 2A.

• Power indicator - a red LED within the power supply indicates the presence of ac input voltage.

• Mix and match locks - provided you do not exceed the maximum allowed for the power supply.

Note

A 4A PSU was used on older door controllers.

1.3.4 10K Memory Module

This memory module has capacity for 10,000 keys. Memory modules contain an EPROM that can be

easily replaced (i.e. updated).

Memory modules can be easily transferred to preserve the database when updating from an older door

controller. Once the transfer is complete, the software in the memory module must be updated.
