Device Settings of the Beacon Series
While working within device mode, two primary values should be considered. On the top of the
display, the selected device is shown. The Beacon series settings can be adjusted with devices 0 –
9.
Pressing the up or down arrows allow you to select which device you wish to modify. Pressing
and holding the
key for 3 seconds loads the modification window. While modifying, the digits
on the window begin to flash. Pressing
will move the cursor in a digit. Select the correct digit
to modify, then use the arrows to change the value. Once finished, hold the
button for 3
seconds and your adjustment will save.
Should a value inputted not fall within the specified range of the device being modified, the value
will automatically adjust to the highest possible value. A description of each device setting is:
DM0:
Timer value for Direction 1. The range of this setting is 1 – 60 seconds. This is
how long the direction will remain open for if a user does not pass through the direction.
The default setting is 7 seconds.
DM1:
Timer value for Direction 2. The range of this setting is 1 – 60 seconds. This is
how long the direction will remain open for if a user does not pass through the direction.
The default setting is 7 seconds.
DM2:
Alarm Timer – This setting allows for an adjustment to the duration of the alarm
timer once the cause of the alarm has cleared.
DM3:
Direction 1 One Shot. This setting determines whether or not the access control
input length is ignored and converted to a .1 second pulse internally. Enabling this allows
the turnstile to ignore access control from allowing too many users pass through the
turnstile. Disabling it allows access control to hold the direction open. 0 means the one-
shot timer is inactive & 1 means the one-shot timer is active.
DM4:
Direction 2 one-shot timer: This setting determines whether or not the access
control input length is ignored and converted to a .1 second pulse internally. Enabling this
allows the turnstile to ignore access control from allowing too many users pass through
the turnstile. Disabling it allows access control to hold the direction open. 0 means the
one-shot timer is inactive & 1 means the one-shot timer is active.
DM5:
Direction 1 Mode: This setting determines the mode of operation for direction 1. A
setting of 0 is set for controlled passage. A setting of 1 is set for free-flow passage. A
setting of 2 is set for no passage. This setting is not affected by factory reset.
DM6:
Direction 2 Mode: This setting determines the mode of operation for direction 2. A
setting of 0 is set for controlled passage. A setting of 1 is set for free-flow passage. A
setting of 2 is set for no passage.
This setting is not affected by factory reset.
DM7:
Direction 1 multi-swipe: This setting allows more than one access control request
to be processed at a time to allow a faster flow of traffic. The range is 1-3. As each access
control request is processed, each rotation subtracts from the total, allowing a constant
flow of traffic. Most installations would benefit from a value of 2, which is the default
setting.
