Operation 3. 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. 3.1 Modes of Operation The control units have three modes of operation. These are indicated by the color of the Mode indicator. 3.1.1 Normal Mode The left LED is green. Green Normal mode is the default mode.
Operation 3.1.3 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 relay is programmed for Fail Secure Operation, the door is locked until the star button (*) is pressed. When the Lock Strike relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation, the door is constantly unlocked.
Operation Master User A Master user must have identical Primary and Secondary codes assigned. The codes are entered with the same proximity card or the same PIN. The Master user can gain access during any mode of operation by entering the code only once. 3.3 Switching Operational Modes The three modes of operation defined above can be changed through a few steps. 3.3.1 From Normal to Secure Mode The default factory setting for the normal/secure code is 3838. To change from Normal to Secure mode: 1.
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 4.9). 3.3.3 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 4.
Operation 3.4 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 4.9). 3.5 REX Button 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 If the BL-D40 receives a tamper event signal, it activates a tamper output and a strobe light. The Siren Time can be easily programmed in the controller from 0 to 9 minutes. The tamper event can activate the auxiliary output if the controller is in Auxiliary Mode 3 (see Table 3). 3.7 Lockout Feature (Keypad/Card Tamper) If the controller is presented with wrong codes (PIN or card) consecutively several times, the unit goes into Lockout mode.
Programming 4. 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 4.1).
