Programming the 11-3500
Functions of the 11-3500 are programmed by placing the program cards on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate in a
proper sequence. It is helpful to think of placing a program card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate as depressing
a key on a keyboard or key pad. You may begin programming at any time by placing the first program card of the
sequence on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate. At this point the LED indicator will show an amber color. When you
remove the program card from the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, the LED indicator will flash the amber color awaiting
the next program card. Placement of the next program card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate causes the amber
LED to stop flashing and become solid. In like manner, the remainder of the program cards for the programming
sequence are placed on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate. At the end of the programming sequence, the LED
indicator will flash green to indicate that the programming instruction has been accepted. While programming,
it is necessary to place the next card of the sequence on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate while the LED indicator
is flashing amber (you have approximately 10 seconds between each card). If the amber LED times out, it will be
necessary to restart the programming sequence. Should an error be made in the programming sequence, the
LEDindicator will flash red instead of green.
Validating a Single Card
To validate a single card, place the sequence of program cards representing the card number on the TOUCH
CARD® reader plate and then place the “VALID” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate.
Example: Validate card number 100.
Place the “1” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the “0” card on the TOUCH CARD®
reader plate, remove it and place again the “0” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the
“VALID” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, and remove it.
1 + 0 + 0 + VALID
Validating a Block of Cards
To validate a block (continuous sequence) of cards, place the sequence of cards representing the first card number
of the block on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, then the “*” (THRU) card, then the sequence of cards representing
the last card number of the block, and then place the “VALID” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate.
Example: Validate cards 5 thru 225.
Place the “5” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the “*” (THRU) card on the TOUCH
CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the “2” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and again
place the “2” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the “5” card on the TOUCH CARD®
reader plate, remove it and place the “VALID” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, and remove it.
5 + * + 2 + 2 + 5 + VALID
Voiding Cards
Cards may also be voided (cancelled) either singly or in blocks. Follow the instructions for validating above, replacing
the “VALID” card with the “VOID” card.
Setting the Latch Timer
The output from the relay may be set to any number of seconds from 1 to 30. To set the latch timer, place on the
TOUCH CARD® reader plate the sequence of program cards representing the number of seconds the latch is to be
on, then place the “SET TIMER” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and removeit.
Example: Set latch timer for 15 seconds.
Place the “1” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, remove it and place the “5” card on the TOUCH CARD®
reader plate, remove it and place the “SET TIMER” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate, and remove it.
1 + 5 + SET TIMER
Setting the latch timer to “0” produces a 0.25 second output, timed from when a valid card is placed on the TOUCH
CARD® reader plate.
Active/Inactive
The 11-3500 may be made inactive for entry by placing the “ACTIVE/INACTIVE” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader
plate and then removing it. While the reader is in the inactive mode, the LED indicator will flash red approximately
once every second. The unit may not be programmed while it is in the inactive mode. To reactivate the reader,
again place the “ACTIVE/INACTIVE” card on the TOUCH CARD® reader plate and remove it.
