Operation 4. Operation • In the Operation chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity card depending on the unit you have. • Memory slots can be a proximity card or PIN code depending on the unit you have. 4.1 Modes of Operation In case of power failure, once the power is restored, the controller returns to Normal mode for security reasons. There are three modes of operation. 4.1.1 Normal Mode The left LED is green. Green Normal mode is the default mode.
Operation green for 10 seconds, during which the Secondary code must be entered. A Master user only needs to present the code once to gain entry. 4.1.3 Bypass Mode The left LED is orange. Orange In Bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on whether the controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation or Fail Secure Operation. When the Lock Strike is programmed for Fail Secure Operation, the door is locked until * is pressed.
Operation A normal user only has a primary code and is granted access only when the controller is in its Normal or Bypass mode. Secure A Secure user must have a Primary and Secondary code assigned, and the two codes must not be the same. The Secure user can gain access in any mode of operation. In Normal mode, the Secure user must use the Primary code to gain entry. In Secure mode, the Secure user must first enter the Primary and then the Secondary code to gain entry.
Operation 4.3 Switching Operational Modes The three modes of operation defined above can be changed through a few steps. 4.3.1 From Normal to Secure Mode The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838. To change from Normal to Secure mode: 1. Enter the 4-digit Normal/Secure code. The left LED flashes red. 2. Red Press # to confirm the mode change. The left LED stops flashing.
Operation 2. Press # to confirm the mode change. The left LED stops flashing. Green The auxiliary input of the controller can also be used to switch the mode of operation from secure to normal and vice versa, if the auxiliary input is selected it de-activates the Norma/Secure mode code (see Section 5.9). 4.3.3 From Normal to Bypass Mode By default, there is no Normal/Bypass code. The Normal/Bypass code must first be programmed to use this function (see Section 5.
Operation 2. Press # to confirm the mode change. The left LED stops flashing. 4.4 Green Auxiliary Input and Output For optimum usability in different applications, the controller’s auxiliary input and output can be configured in 10 different modes of operation (see Section 5.9). 4.5 REX Function The REX button is located within the premises and is used to open the door from the inside. It is usually located in a convenient location, such as next to the door or at a receptionist’s desk.
Operation From the moment the REX button is pressed, the door is unlocked until the REX button is released. In this case, the Lock Strike relay only begins its countdown once the REX button is released. This feature is designed to keep the door open, when used in conjunction with fire systems. 4.6 Tamper Feature If the controller is forcibly opened or the controller is removed from the wall, a tamper event is triggered. A tamper signal is sent to the BL-D40 external sounder.
Operation 4.8 BL-D40 External Sounder The BL-D40 external sounder is designed for indoor use only and installed within the secured premises. The sounder can be powered by a 12 to 24 VDC power supply or by a 16 VAC transformer. The BL-D40 is capable of emitting four different types of audible and visual alerts: bell, chime, siren and strobe light. The bell sounds when the controller’s bell button is pressed.
Programming 5. Programming • In the Programming chapter, “code” refers to a PIN code or proximity card depending on the unit you have. • When entering a PIN or presenting a proximity card is mentioned, the meaning may vary between units. Programming is done solely via the unit’s keypad driven Programming Menu System. To reach the Programming Menu System, the controller must first be placed into Programming mode (see Section 5.1).

The auxiliary relay is to be attached to the lock on the second door. The auxiliary setting defines the Door Open time for the second door.
Programming controller can be automatically switched from Normal mode (during office hours) to Secure mode (after office hours). 5.9.3 Auxiliary Mode 2 Auxiliary input function: Toggles Normal/Secure modes Auxiliary output activated by: Star Button (*) For example, in Auxiliary Mode 2, the auxiliary relay can function as a general purpose time switch that can be activated when * is pressed. The auxiliary setting establishes for how long the auxiliary relay is to be activated.
Programming from Normal mode (during office hours) to Secure mode (after office hours). 5.9.5 Auxiliary Mode 4 Auxiliary input function: Toggles Normal/Secure modes Auxiliary output activated by: direct shunt (explanation below) For example, in Auxiliary Mode 4, the controller is capable of bypassing an alarm zone by shunting an alarm system’s door sensor. The auxiliary output is to be wired in parallel to the door sensor output.
Programming opens; if the door closes, the auxiliary relay closes. When a valid code is entered, a countdown for maximum Shunt time, as defined by the auxiliary setting, begins; if the door is not closed before the maximum Shunt time, the alarm is triggered. 5.9.7 Auxiliary Mode 6 Auxiliary input function: Door Monitor Auxiliary output activated by: Forced entry For example, in auxiliary mode 6, the controller can trigger the auxiliary relay if the door has been forced.
Programming on the door. The auxiliary relay is to be wired to the alarm system. If the door is opened, the controller waits for the Door Ajar Delay time to elapse and if the door does not close prior to the end of this period, the controller activates the auxiliary relay. The auxiliary setting defines the Door Ajar time. If the BL-D40 external sounder is connected in the system and a door-ajar event occurs, the BL-D40 chimes every few seconds for 1 minute or until the door is closed. 5.9.
Programming 5.9.10 Auxiliary Mode 9 This mode controls the door indicator (right LED). The right LED is not lit when: • A valid code is entered • While in Secure mode when waiting for Secondary code. Auxiliary input function: Red LED control Auxiliary output activated by: Valid user code, Auxiliary code For example, in Auxiliary Mode 9, the controller can function as a 2-door controller and also provide LED indicator functionality control. The auxiliary relay is connected to the lock on the second door.
Programming red, and the controller beeps every two seconds. The default setting for the Lockout Feature is 4000 (Lockout Disabled).

Programming 5.12 Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes 5.12.1 Primary Codes Definition Primary codes can only be enrolled to an empty user slot, a slot with no existing Primary code in the controller’s memory. A Primary code must be unique; for instance, one user’s primary code may not be the same as that of another user. Primary codes cannot be the same as system codes, such as: the Normal/Secure code or the Open code.
Programming A Secondary code can be the same as the primary code of any user. 5.12.3 Enrolling Methods There are two methods used to enroll primary and secondary codes: the standard method and the code search method. The Standard Method is used when the user slot number, for the user you wish to program, is known. You can program both primary and secondary codes using this method. The Code Search Method is mainly used when enrolling a secondary code and the user’s slot code is unknown.
Programming For example, User Slot 003 represents User #3. If the selected slot has no Primary code, the left LED flashes green, indicating that the controller is ready to accept a Primary Gree Orange code. If the selected slot already has a Primary code but no Secondary code, the left LED flashes red, indicating that the controller is Red Orange ready to accept a Secondary code.
Programming If the PIN or user card presented is valid, the left LED stops flashing and the controller is ready for you to enter the next 3-digit slot number (refer to Step 3) for the slot to which you want to assign a code. 5. Do one of the following: Press # to move to the next available user slot number. Enter another 3-digit user slot number. If you do not wish to continue enrolling codes, press # twice and the controller returns to Normal mode. 5.12.3.
Programming The controller is now waiting for the Primary code of the user to whom you want to add a Secondary code. 4. Perform one of the following: Enter the PIN code belonging to the user for whom you wish to add a Secondary code. Present the user card belonging to the user for whom you wish to add a Secondary code. The left LED flashes red. Red Orange If the Primary code entered is not valid, you hear a long beep and the unit continues to wait for a valid Primary code. 5.
Programming 5.13 Deleting Primary and Secondary Codes There are two methods to delete Primary and Secondary codes: a standard method and a search method. When deleting a user slot, both the primary code and the secondary code are erased. It is recommended that a record be kept of added and deleted users. This makes it easier to keep track of user slots’ status (empty or not). 5.13.
Programming If the user slot is empty, you hear a long beep and the unit returns to Normal mode. 4. Enter your 4-digit Programming code to confirm the deletion. If the Programming code is valid, three beeps are heard and the controller returns to Normal mode. If the Programming code is invalid, a long beep is heard and the controller returns to Normal mode. 5.13.2 Deleting Primary and Secondary Codes using the Code Search Method To delete the Primary and Secondary codes using the Code Search Method: 5.
Programming 8. Perform one of the following: Enter the PIN code of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. Present the user card of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. The left LED flashes red. 9. Red Orange Enter your 4-digit Programming code to confirm the deletion. If the Programming code is valid, you hear three beeps and the unit returns to Normal mode. If the Programming code is invalid, you hear a long beep and the unit returns to Normal mode. 5.
Programming There are two methods to assign relay codes to users: a standard method and a search method. 5.14.1 Relay Code Assignment using Standard Method To assign the relay code using Standard method: 1. Enter Programming mode. 2. Press 9 to enter Menu 9. Green The left LED turns green and the right LED turns orange. 3. Green Enter the 3-digit user slot for code 9 assignment. The left LED flashes green. 4.
Programming 5. Do one of the following: Press # to move to the next available user slot number. Enter another 3-digit user slot number. If you do not wish to continue enrolling codes, press # twice and the controller returns to Normal mode. 5.14.2 Relay Code Assignment using Search Method To assign the relay code using Search method: 1. Enter Programming mode. 2. Press 9 to enter Menu 9. Green The left LED turns green and the right LED turns orange. 3. Enter 000 for user slot access.
Programming 4. Do one of the following: Enter the PIN code of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. Present the user card of the Primary code belonging to the user you want to delete. The left LED flashes green. 5.
Programming 5.15 Changing PIN Code Length/Factory Default Settings You must be very careful before using this command! Changing the PIN code length also erases the entire memory contents, including all user and special codes, and returns all codes to their factory default settings. To change the PIN code length: 1. Enter Programming mode. 2.
Programming If the Programming code is invalid, you hear a long beep and the controller returns to Normal mode without erasing the memory contents. 5.16 Replacing a Programming Code The unit must be in Normal mode; otherwise, this does not work. Make sure that the left LED is green before proceeding. To replace a Programming code: 1. Remove power from the controller. 2. Press and hold the REX button. 3. Apply power to the unit with the REX button pressed. 4. Release the REX button. 5.
