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

1. Introduction

The document describes how to install a PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controller. Configuration

and monitoring is performed from a PC and documentation for this is supplied with the administration

software. For systems without a PC (i.e. standalone systems) configuration and monitoring is performed

from a front panel and is documented in 15267 PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controllers User

Guide.

There are several controllers in the series designated as follows:

• The first four numbers indicate the number of doors and AEMs supported.

• The suffix IP indicates a built-in TCP/IP interface.

Note

PAC Portico 2200/1200 Ver 1 uses EPROM 13038. PAC Portico 2200/1200 Ver 2 uses EPROM

13074 and provides extra facilities (see Section 1.4).

1.1 Access Control Components

Most PAC Portico access control systems, very simply, consist of eight distinct parts:

1. The ID Device (i.e. a fob or card called the key) which is presented to (or swiped through) the reader

to open a door. This has a unique code that identifies it to the system.

2. The Reader, usually fitted close to the door, that detects the unique code in the ID device and sends

it to the door controller for verification. There are several types of reader available, suitable for

different purposes and environments. It is usually situated close to the door.

3. The Request to Exit (RTE) Switch which is used to open a door from the secure side (sometimes a

reader is used on each side of the door). When the switch is pressed a signal is sent to the controller

to release the lock and open the door.

4. The Controller, that is the heart of the access control system. It compares the unique code in the ID

device with the information stored in its memory and, if the ID device is valid, it activates the lock to

open the door.

5. The PSU which powers the controller and locks.

6. The Lock which secures the door and is released when a valid ID device is presented to the reader.

Locks can be divided into two main types:

• Fail Safe - continuously powered with power removed to unlock. If power fails, the door will

open.

• Fail Secure - Power supplied to unlock. A separate power supply is required to open the door if

there is a power failure.

7. The Administration System which is used to administer the system - program into the system who

goes where and when. This may be built into the controller or be on a separate PC.

8. The wiring between the various components.

The PAC Portico 2200/1200 Series Door Controllers are multi-function, i.e. they can be configured to

operate in a variety of different modes depending on the requirements of the overall system. Some

features of the access control system depend on the type of administration system used with some

features (such as visitors, global anti-passback, transaction searching and reporting) only available on the

PC-based administration systems.

Figure 1 shows the typical components of an access control system.
