SAFETY NOTES
Please read this manual carefully before attempting to install, program or operate the Progeny Access Control
P1 STAND ALONE equipment.
This equipment must be installed in line with all relevant regulations and standards.
Make sure that wiring is rated according to fuses and current limits of relevant power supplies.
Apart from the mains supply all connections to this unit must be SELV level. (Safety Extra Low Voltage, BS EN
60950 1992)
No users should access the inside of the control box. The control box contains hazardous voltages and access is
limited to qualified personnel only. All user-programming for the controller is either done at one of the keyboards
or at the PC.
Every effort is made to ensure that this manual is complete and free from errors. However we reserve the right to
make changes to these products and this manual without notice.
No liability is accepted for loss damage or injury as a consequence of using these products or instructions.
MOUNTING
The optimum location for the controller depends on the application. As a general Guide:
Always mount the control equipment on the secure side of the door.
Mount as close as possible to the door(s) to be controlled (less than 100m).
Offer the opened back of the enclosure up to the wall where the unit is to be mounted and mark the location of
the fixing dimples on the wall. Drill and plug the wall. Bring in mains supply and other cables that are to enter
via the rear cable access holes. Screw the controller to the wall.
WARNING:
Extreme caution must be used when opening the controller housing. DO NOT touch any
connections or components other than the reset button. Avoid touching any of the terminations with a
metal object such as a wristwatch or jewellery.
POWER
The Progeny P1 STAND ALONE controller should be connected to a 24 Hour 220/240V mains supply. Ideally
a fused spur should be used for this purpose. The cable used to connect the mains supply should be 0.75 to
2mm
2
. A fused terminal block is provided for mains. Observe the polarity when making these connections.
When designing an access control system it is important to make sure that the power supply is not
overloaded. The built in power supply of the Progeny P1 STAND ALONE controller is capable of providing
power for most standard applications. However, there may be situations where additional power supplies are
required. These notes are intended to help you determine when this is the case.
Each enclosure can house one or two door controllers. The 5A PSU in the enclosure supplies 2A at 12V
(13.8V) to each controller channel.
IMPORTANT:
If a battery is to be fitted then it must be of the correct type. The power supply is designed to
charge sealed lead acid batteries. Do not connect NiCad or Dry Cell batteries or any other chemistry.
Power up sequence should be:
Mains first then Battery
Power down sequence should be:
Battery first then Mains
The current drawn from the power supply falls into three main categories:
Battery
Supply
Indicates Connection
and Status of the
Main Supply
Indicates Connection and
Charge Status of Battery
