of PRT series readers can be connected to the external access controller (this is
called Online mode) or operate as stand-alone unit (this is called Offline mode).
Restart
The scenario when device goes through initialization procedure, the same as after
power up of a unit.
Roger Access Control System (RACS)
The access control system which consists of PR series access controllers developed
and manufactured by Roger.
Access Control Unit (ACU)
The logic device which provides access control, usually it is an access controller.
XM-2 I/O Extension Module
The remote I/O extension module for RACS system. The XM-2 provides two NO/NC
inputs and two relay type outputs.
Full Stand-alone mode
The operation mode in which reader independently controls a door passage. When
in Full Stand-alone mode PRT32 requires the remote XM-2 extension module,
optionally it may operate with additional PRT series reader (two-way passage).
Simple Stand-alone mode
The operation mode in which reader independently controls a door passage. When
in Simple Stand-alone mode PR32 uses its internal I/O lines as general purpose
I/Os and is not capable to operate with XM-2 I/O module nor additional PRT reader.

Designed function
The PRT32 reader has been designed for use in access control installations to
enable user identification via EM 125 kHz UNIQUE standard proximity cards and/or
PIN codes. Reader can be configured for Stand-alone mode (alternatively called
Offline mode) or for use with an external access control unit (ACU) supporting
compatible data interface formats (Online mode).
The PRT32 configured for Online mode works as a slave unit serving a sole purpose
of reading cards and/or entering a PIN codes then providing subsequent
transmission of such collected data to the host ACU for further processing.
The PRT32 terminal offers several data transmission formats available for use in
Online mode which includes the popular Wiegand and Magstripe (i.e. simulation of
an output of a magnetic card reader) data protocols.
When configured for Stand-alone operation (Offline mode), the PRT32 reader
independently (i.e. autonomously) controls the supervised door access point. For
this mode the reader offers two installation configurations — first of them uses the
reader’s built-in I/O signal lines as standard general purpose inputs and outputs,
the second one uses them for communication with an external XM-2 I/O module
and a secondary (optional) PRT series reader. An access control installation
containing two PRT series readers (one at the entry and other at the exit side of the
