Some models of the 3GS keypad are supplied with an in-built reader which can be used in place of the 6 digit user
code to set and unset the system. This reader is called an ACE (Ancillary Control Equipment) reader and the card/
token/keypad is called a portable ACE.
Program ACE
The Europlex 3GS Portable ACE RKD consists of universal proximity read head assembly incorporated seamlessly
within a standard 3GS RKD node.
The 3GS RKD responds to proximity cards/devices when programmed to do so in an identical way to the programmed
user entering his access code. In this way, user rights programmed as a standard 3GS feature are maintained as is the
identification of the user in the 3GS database and system log.
The 3GS Portable ACE RKD is only compatible with the latest EN50131-1:1997 3GS software versions released from
March 2004 onwards.
The 3GS Portable ACE RKD is also compatible with the latest release of DD243, which is incorporated in the latest
EN50131-1:1997 3GS (version 5.7 or later). To ensure full DD243 compliance, a new DISABLE KEYPAD variable has
been created which disables the RKD keys of all System RKD nodes when the Portable ACE is used as an entry method
for DD243: 2002 compliance. See the 3GS Application Guides for more information.
