Description
The SR10k is a complete stand-alone access controller, using either magnetic-stripe
cards or cipher (keypad) codes for identifying valid users.
The Card Reader with Keypad and the Interface Module are the SR10k system's ma-
jor components. Separating the door control and other interface connections not only
simplifi es the installation, but it greatly improves security by placing the door strike relay
inside the protected area.
The SR10k offers unparalleled versatiltiy in its class. The investment an installer makes
in learning the SR-10K is greatly rewarded by the number of different applications that
can be solved by the SR10k.
And cerainly not least, unlike other strictly stand-alone access controllers, the SR10k
supports expansion to multiple readers at a site.
Programming
A Master Card places the SR10k into programming mode. Commands are entered via
the keypad on the SR10k reader. In some cases the entry of user cards may also be
required. A buzzer and two bicolor LEDs provide immediate feedback to the operator.
Card Database Options
The SR10k supports three different card database modes:
1 -
RANDOM
mode, supports
up to 100 users
(factory default):
This mode allows the use of any magnetic stripe card with standard 'track-2' encod-
ing, such as the 'MS-SR10CC25', pre-encoded packs of 25 cards, or cards from
many other access systems, or even bank cards. Stores the fi rst 10 digits of the
encoded card data.
Cards are added into 'user slots' by reading the card at the time of enrollment.
Individual or a block of 'user slots' may be deactivated.
2 -
BLOCK
mode, supports
up to 1,600 users
:
This database mode requires that all cards are encoded as a set. (Block orders are
typically shipped within a week of the order). Add-on orders can specify an existing
block number and a continuation point. The activation and deactivation of block
cards may be done without the cards and may be performed either individually or
in blocks.
3 - '
FACILITY CODE
' mode, there is
no limit to the number of users
supported, since
the SR10k is not checking for a unique code:
This mode is useful for low security applications where access cards are already in
use. The number of leading card digits to check is confi gured from zero to 9 digits.
Setting the number of card digits to check to 'none' causes the SR10k to accept
any magnetic stripe card as a valid user- also known as the ATM Mode, used to
accept 'any bank card'.
An additional setting allows the SR10k to skip up to 15 card digits before assembling
the facility code. This feature is used in case the facility code does not start at the
beginning of the card.
