1.4 Ver 2 Facilities
EPROM 13074 can be fitted to a PAC Portico 2200 Series Door Controller to provide the same facilities
as described in Section 1.3 plus those described in this section providing the appropriate
administration software is used.
1.4.1 50K Memory Module
This memory module has capacity for 50,000 keys and is for use with PAC Portico Prism only. The
memory module contains EPROM 13074 and replaces the standard 10K memory module.
1.4.2 Arming/Disarming Alarm Areas
Arming an area overrides any time profiles so that only people with arming privileges can enter the area.
Arming/disarming an area is performed from an alarm panel or by presenting a key (and PIN number) and
pressing an arming button to confirm. The arming/disarming signal can be via an arming relay or via a
single serial link depending on the type of alarm panel.
The arming relay is a relay configured to send arming information to a non-intelligent alarm panel and is
normally connected across the key-switch input of the alarm panel. Most key-switch inputs require a
latched signal level but a few respond to edges.
The door controller's auxiliary serial port is used to communicate with intelligent alarm panels (e.g. DMP
and Radionics).
Note
The main serial port, labeled PRINTER should not be used when connecting to an intelligent alarm
panel.
The arming/disarming signal is the INHB/DR3 input on each reader channel of a door controller (see
Section 5.2.1.1). When the INHB/DR3 input is connected to the alarm panel, this is typically across the
arming relay output, so that a short to ground indicates when the system is armed or an exit delay is
occurring.
It is important to know how the arming output of the alarm panel works. For example, if the arming output
switches over during the exit delay rather than after it, ensure that users have the appropriate alarm
privileges to leave the building while the exit delay is occurring.
Shorting INHB/DR3 to ground results in all overrides for the corresponding door being cancelled. This
includes time profiles, emergency and manual (operator) overrides. However, the door controller override
(fire) input still affects the door. In addition to overrides being disabled, access through the door is only
permitted to users with appropriate alarm privileges.
If the affected door has been assigned to an alarm area, all doors with the same alarm area number are
also affected by the state of INHB/DR3. The INHB/DR3 input must be situated on a master door controller
if slave door controllers are also to be affected by the system being armed.
Note
The INHB/DR3 input can also be used to automatically arm the alarm panel provided specific
options have been selected by the PC administration system. A normally-open non-latching switch
can be connected between the INHB/DR3input and ground. After a key with the appropriate arming
privileges has been presented to an exit reader, the “arming” button can be pressed to arm the area
associated with the door.
1.4.3 Alarm Panel Interface
Alarm panels can be integrated with the access control system via a single serial communications link to a
door controller.
The alarm state input is the ALM/DR4 input on each reader channel of a door controller (see Section
5.2.1.1). This input is normally connected across the alarm output relay of the alarm panel and
communicates alarm information to the PC administration system. Shorting ALM/DR4 to ground results in
an External Alarm event being logged. Returning ALM/DR4 to its default state results in an External
Alarm Cleared event being logged.
The relays on the door controller can be programmed to trigger if the alarm panel goes in to an alarm
condition. Either main board relays 1 to 4 or the AEM relays can be configured to do this.
The shunting relays are the door controller's main board relays 5 to 8, where relay 5 is used for door
channel 1, relay 6 for door 2, etc. The shunting relay is used to echo the state of the door contact of an
entry/exit door to the alarm panel. This avoids the need to fit one door contact for the access control and
