1.3.5 Memory Backup Battery

The backup battery is provided to maintain the system’s memory when all power, mains and external

battery backup is removed. The backup battery can be replaced without data loss. In order to replace the

battery:

• The module must be plugged into the door controller.

• The door controller must be powered from the ac power line or the sealed lead acid backup battery

in the panel case.

1.3.6 Onboard Relays

There are 8 relays fitted to the door controllers. These relays are as follows:

• Relay-1: invalid key on door-1.

• Relay-2: invalid key on door-2.

• Relay-3: invalid key on door-3.

• Relay-4: invalid key on door-4.

• Relay-5: door/anti-tamper on any door.

• Relay-6: time profile-1.

• Relay-7: door left-open alarm on any door.

• Relay-8: system tamper.

Notes

1. The default settings are applied when the database is initialized either at the front panel or from a

PC.

2. Relays 1-4 are programmable to respond to a wide range of events when being administered via

PAC Portico for Windows.

3. Relays 1-8 are programmable to respond to a wide range of events when being administered via

PAC Portico Prism.

The PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controllers automatically detect when they have been upgraded

from a 2100/1100 Series and:

• Apply defaults to the main-board relays.

• Clear non-volatile system variables such as door and alarm states.

• Clear the update/download stack.

• Apply defaults to the reader configuration.

• Set the default First In First Out (FIFO) limits (for dial-back) to zero, i.e. disable dial-back on buffer full.

1.3.7 Alarm Event Managers (AEM)

It is possible to program the relays on each AEM to activate on certain events, including time profiles,

door alarms, etc. Because of this increased functionality, the way the responses are programmed has

changed. The details of the programming changes are in the documentation provided with each

administration system.

1.3.8 Dial-Back

Only on Multi-Site Systems administered by a CNC connected through a dial-up (PSTN or LAN/WAN)

communications device to a CNC. If using dial-up devices, you can set any PAC Portico 2200/1200

controllers configured as a master to dial back to the CNC in the event of an alarm condition or access

authorized event.

Note

Call PAC Portico Technical Support when designing a dial-back system using LAN/WAN.
