Rosslare Security recommends the use of suppression diodes for all outputs
that activate an inductive load.
Door Lock
There are two types of door locking devices:
Fail open (fail secure)
Fail close (fail safe)
The following should be defined:
Single door controller:
Door 1 – OUT 1
Double door controller:
Door 1 – OUT 1

Card Readers and Keypads
Each access control panel can be connected to a maximum of two readers.
There are three available types of reader:
Card readers
Keypads
Dual keypad card readers
A keypad is required for any reader mode that requires PIN code entries, such
as "Card or PIN", "PIN Only" or "Card and PIN (Secured mode)".
When connecting a reader, the following should be defined:
Single door controller:
Door 1 – Reader 1 IN/OUT
Door 1 – Reader 2 OUT/ IN
Double door controller:
Door 1 – Reader 1 IN/OUT
Door 2 – Reader 2 IN/OUT
Use the AxTraxNG™ software to set the readers for IN or OUT use and to set
the data transmission format for each reader.
The reader’s tamper output connects to the access control panel's Reader-
Tamper input. If the reader is interfered with, an alarm can be generated.
The panel's Reader G.LED output activates the reader’s green LED input when
operating in "Card and PIN" secure mode. While this mode is in force, users
must enter a PIN on the keypad immediately after entering the card.
The controller activates the LED control for 2 seconds when an access granted
event occurs.
