Some of the PRTxxMF series readers are equipped with one or two function keys: [F1] with door
bell icon and [F2] with the light bulb icon. The function of each function keys depends on the
reader’s operating mode and its configuration.
When in RACS Mode, pressing function key will cause transmission of the relevant code to the host
controller which can further take adequate action (e.g. trigger door bell, light etc.). The host’s
reaction for function key always depends on its configuration.
When in Wiegand or Magstripe modes, pressing the F1/F2 causes following codes to be sent over
the output lines:
For Wiegand:
 F1=C hex
 F2=D hex
For Magstripe:
 F1=FF FF FF FF BC hex (1099511627708 dec)
 F2=FF FF FF FF BD hex (1099511627709 dec)
When PRTxxMF operates in standalone mode (either Full Standalone or Simple Standalone ) by
default the F1/F2 keys work as door bell buttons however they can be also configured to control
AUX1/AUX2 outputs. Additionally, in
Full Standalone Mode function keys on secondary reader (if
available) have the same functions as assigned for function keys on main reader even when the
main reader has no keys at all.

In this mode the reader operates as a slave unit connected to the external access controller. In
Terminal Mode reader transmits collected data (card or PIN) to the host for further processing.
The PRTxxMF offers following data transmission formats:
 Wiegand 26bit
 Wiegand 32bit, normal mode (from MSB to LSB)
 Wiegand 32bit, reverse order (from LSB to MSB)
 Wiegand 34bit
 Wiegand 42bit
 Wiegand 66bit
 Magstripe (ABA Track II emulation, also called Clock & Data)
 RACS CLK/DTA(for communication with Roger controllers)
 RS232, EPSO protocol (transactional protocol, reader responses commands received
from the host)
 RS232, cards and individual keys
 RS232, cards and PIN-s
