SUPERTERM-8

CICP1800  8-Door Intelligent Controller

The eight-reader Superterm (CICP1800) supports 
8 readers and has 24 inputs, 1 tamper alarm and 17 
outputs.  A locking steel enclosure, power supply and 
battery are included.

Superterm-8 is an expandable intelligent controller capable 
of supporting all access control functions for one to eight 
doors. This distributed processor-based panel will operate 
as a standalone unit in the event server-communications are 
interrupted. The Superterm is programmed via Continental 
Instruments (CIC) CardAccess® software program, a Windows-
based access control and security management solution. Once 
programmed, the controller does not require continuous server 
communications, as it automatically stores system transactions 
in its internal memory. The Superterm’s memory is field 
expandable, allowing for greater cardholder populations and/
or a larger transaction buffer. The controller’s Flash EPROM 
firmware is easily upgraded when additional features or 
system enhancements are required. Continental’s controllers 
feature extensive multi-stage lightning/transient protection 
on-board for maximum reliability even in harsh environments.

The Superterm accepts industry standard Wiegand output devices 
and supports virtually all card/reader technologies. Proximity, 
Biometric, Magnetic Stripe, Barcode, Wiegand, Barium Ferrite, 
Keypad and Smart Readers are easily connected and controlled. 
The Superterm can store multiple card (bit) formats in its internal 
memory, making it a cost-effective retrofit panel. Supporting 
multiple bit formats allows existing card populations and readers 
to remain in place. 

Up to 63 CIC Intelligent Controllers (Microterm, Miniterm, 
Smarterm or Superterm) can be intermixed on the same 
communications network. Multiple communication networks 
(ports) can be connected to the CardAccess® server for maximum 
system expansion. Controller communication choices include: 
hardwire (repeat or multi-drop mode), LAN/WAN, dial-up or 
fiber optics for maximum flexibility. Continental Instruments 
supports RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication formats for 
optimal system configuration.

In addition to memory and power expansion capabilities, the 
Superterm will accept up to 3 input/output expansion boards. 
The Superterm can be ordered with the expansion boards pre-
installed at the factory. The boards can also be ordered separately 
and field installed within the Superterm enclosure. The boards 
are mounted to the inside of the hinged enclosure cover. The 
Alarm Expander Board provides 16 supervised inputs while 
the Relay Expander Board provides 16 relay outputs and 8 
unsupervised inputs.
