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

6. Configuration

This section describes the various steps needed to configure the controllers before connection to the

administration system.

Configuration involves:

1. Configuring the master controller, see Section 6.3.

2. Adding slave controllers, see Section 6.3.

After each stage, the configuration should be tested as described in Section 8.

6.1 Initial Considerations

Before setting up the access control system, consider the items described in Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. All

the items can be adjusted at a later stage but it will save time in the future if they are considered at this

stage.

6.1.1 Door Controllers

• Decide which door controller will be the master. In a mixed system, the master controller should be a

PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controller. All the programming is performed at the master door

controller.

• Decide which slave controllers will have which address (i.e. 2, 3, 4 etc.). This is important as door

numbering is determined by the address of each door controller.

• Decide if two readers will share the same lock output (e.g. in reader and out reader on the same

door).

• Decide if anti-passback is required on a door controller.

6.1.2 Doors

For each door:

• Decide which doors will have door monitoring; this is essential for reporting alarms and door left

open)?

• Decide what type of lock is fitted to each door, fail-safe or fail-secure.

• Decide what should be the lock release time for each door.

• Decide which doors will open automatically at certain times.

6.2 Initial Conditions

Ensure the following before starting the configuration:

1. The mains supply is present but not power up.

2. The lock power supply is set to 12V dc or 2V dc.

3. The readers and locks to the door controllers, including, where required, Request to Exit switches,

door contacts and any alarm modules are connected.

4. Any slave door controllers are connected to the master controller.

5. The Enclosure Tamper inputs (T+, T-) are linked - this will prevent any D/C Tamper alarms when

first powered up.
