Operation
The ACTSmart family consists of Proximity only, Pin and Proximity and PIN only units. Each
ACTSmart can operate in standalone mode. Up to 8 ACTSmart devices can be connected on a RS485
network. The ACTSmart will support 500 Card Holders and/or 500 PIN users. Each unit is contained in a
rugged polycarbonate housing, with stainless steel keys and potted electronics, allowing for indoor and
outdoor installation.
Programming the unit is achieved via the keys and LED. For quick and easy installation, the ACTSmart
has a default configuration, which is suitable for most installations requiring only the Programming Code
to be changed, and the cards programmed into the system. Using the Card Batch method, cards can be
programmed into the ACTSmart very quickly. ACT recommends that the user keep track of the
Cardholders and PIN users on the system by using the
User List
at the end of the manual. Make copies of
this sheet and enter each Users details on it. This will allow users to be deleted later on, even if a card is
lost or a user forgets their PIN code.
To improve security, PIN codes may be up to 8 digits in length. Normally
only card users
are allowed
access through the ACTSmart PIN and Prox unit. For maximum security, the unit may be programmed to
require all users to enter a PIN code after presenting a card. For lower security applications, another
programming options allows access to PIN only users. A duress code feature is also available
The built-in inputs and outputs are programmable, allowing the ACTSmart to be used in a wide variety of
applications from simple door access, to cash offices and fire exits. Each unit also has built-in tamper
monitoring for improved security.

Press the
✘
button followed by the programming code (initially 9999). The LED will flash amber while
in programming mode. If
✘
is pressed at any time or no key is pressed within 30 seconds, programming
mode is exited. If the LED flashes green during programming, then a card presentation is expected. If the
LED flashes red, then a keypress is expected. If the ACTSmart is busy performing a task, (Eg. Defaulting
memory, adding cards), the buzzer will sound an elongated tone.
Note:
In most Programming Menus there is a step that is marked (optional)*. This setting only applies to
a
Networked System
(see Programming a Network System).
