ArchiTech Series Design Overview

Why Use Proximity Credentials?

With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies
of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organiza-
tional and financial task -- and what will you do if someone
causes a security breach by losing their key?
The answer lies in the use of "firmware". Firmware exists
inside your ArchiTech™ series lock, and can be changed
("programmed") to suit your changing requirements. Instead
of distributing metal keys, distribute proximity cards, fobs or
User Codes ("credentials"). If lost, they can easily be delet-
ed from the lock firmware, and new ones added. (Proximity
cards, proximity fobs and User Codes are the firmware
equivalent of metal keys; just present a valid card to the
Proximity Reader (or press your User Code at the keypad)
to unlock the lock). Furthermore, credentials like cards and
fobs differ from metal keys in that they are

not duplicates

each credential is "unique" to the lock, and therefore can
easily be deleted from the lock firmware without needing to
be "in hand". Another advantage is that proximity creden-
tials cannot easily be duplicated, unlike metal keys.

"Program / Passage" button

Much like the classic "rocker switch / stop button" found on a
standard mortise lock, the ArchiTech™ Series locks feature
a "

Program / Passage

" button allowing for sustained pas-

sage through the door without a credential (see arrows in the
images above). These buttons are identical in functionality
with each model and are initially used in the "

POWER UP

process on page 10 or 11. During normal operation, the
"

Program / Passage

" button is used to intentionally

place the lock into a passage state as needed, without a
credential.

Note:

The "

Program / Passage

" button is disa-

bled when the door is closed; the door must be physically
open to allow use of the "

Program / Passage

" button (see

next section regarding the Door Contact Sensor and door
position monitoring). In addition, the "

Program / Passage

button is used for activating (and re-activating) "DL-Windows
Mode" and for credential enrollment in "Program Card Pro-
gramming".

Note:

If you wish, the "

Program / Passage

button can be disabled using DL-Windows (see page 29).

Door Contact Sensor

The

Door Contact Sensor

is required to monitor the position

of the door (open or closed). The

Door Contact Sensor

shown above at right; note also that a Sensor is integrated
within the edge of the

Mortised Networx Control Unit

. With

the ArchiTech series locks, DL-Windows can program the
lock to log a "door position" event or "Door Ajar" event. The
lock writes a "Door Ajar" event to the system log or turns on
an alert sounder when the Door Contact Sensor contacts
remain open past a specified time. In addition, should these
contacts detect that the door was opened without first a valid
credential to unlock the unit, or the door was opened without
first the inside lever being turned, a "Forced Entry" (or door
"kick-in") event will be logged, and an alert sounder will turn
on for 5 seconds.

Note:

This "Forced Door Detection" fea-

ture, though programmable in DL-Windows, is only available
for locks that possess the "RX Request to Exit" functionality.
