(1) - Force Presco or wiegand mode [Memory 005]
101 = Always in Presco mode.
202 = Always in wiegand mode.
All other values = Mode auto detected using white wire.
(2) - Auto send key count [Memory 007]
When this memory is set to a non-zero value the PSC2 will automatically send
the data after xkeys have been pressed, where x=value set for this memory.
Note: In Presco mode auto send is disabled if the first key pressed is a or .
(3) - LED brightness factor [Memories 200 & 201]
The red & blue LEDs can have their brightness individually set
1 = LEDs are at lowest brightness.
20 =LEDs are at full brightness.
Presco Options
These options set how the PSC2 operates when in Presco mode. It is unlikely
that these options will need to be changed.
Internal/External mode Presco keypad (4)
Process received DTA characters (5)
Presco proximity reader output format (standard or KC compatible) (6)
(4) - Internal/External mode Presco keypad [Memory 010]
101 = Internal mode keypad.
All other values = External mode keypad.
Note: When set to internal mode the two button Emergency () and One
Way Arm () features are enabled when used with a KC2 or KC6. This
setting has no effect when PSC2 is being used with a Presco PAC controller.
(5) - Process received DTA characters [Memory 011]
101 = Ignore all received DTA characters (PSC2 will not give beeps, warble, etc.
after final is pressed).
All other values = PSC2 will make beeps, warble, etc. for DTA characters
received after pressing the final key.
(6) - Presco proximity reader output format (standard PAC format or KC
compatible) [Memory 012]
101 = Presco output from the prox reader is 7 digit KC compatible as per a PIM
wiegand to Presco conversion (only works for 26 bit wiegand cards).
202 = Presco output from the prox reader is 7 digit KC compatible using the
lowest 7 digits of the 9 digit Presco PAC code.
All other values = Presco output from RFID is standard 9 digit PAC format.
Wiegand Keypad Options
These options set the format of the wiegand bit mode data sent by the keypad.
Up to 64 bits of data including a site code up to 32 bits can be configured.
Site code byte 0 (used for standard 8 bit site code)
Number of bits in site code (0 to 32)
Number of bits in user code (8 to 64)
Number of bits for start parity calculation (7)
Number of bits for end parity calculation (7)
Wiegand burst mode or bit mode (10)
Custom wiegand total number of bits (11)
Site code start bit number
User code start bit number
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 7 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 6 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 5 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 4 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 3 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 2 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 1 (13)
Default custom wiegand pattern byte 0 (13)
(7) - Number of bits for parity calculation [Memories 026, 027, 064 & 065]
Number of bits for parity calculation (0 = no parity bit, if the value is greater than
the total number of data bits (site code + user code bits) then it will use half the
total number of bits, for an odd number of bits the end parity will use 1 more bit).
(8) - Parity polarity [Memories 028 & 066]
0 = Start parity is Even, End parity is Even.
1 = Start parity is Odd, End parity is Even.
2 = Start parity is Even, End parity is Odd (default value).
3 = Start parity is Odd, End parity is Odd.
(9) - Error handling [Memory 029]
This memory specifies what information is sent via the wiegand interface when
a code entered is too large to be represented by the current wiegand format.
26 bit wiegand has a 16 bit user code which allows a max code number of 65535.
This memory determines what is sent when a number larger than this is entered.
101 = A code of 0 is sent.
202 = No information is sent, the keypad ignores the input.
All other values = The maximum allowable user code for thecurrentformat issent.
(10) - Wiegand burst mode or bit mode [Memory 032]
121 = 4 bit burst mode, , & keys data disabled.
202 = 8 bit burst mode, , & keys data enabled (= ).
212 = 8 bit burst mode, , & keys data disabled.
232 = bit mode (non burst) wiegand, default settings are for 26 bit.
All other values = 4 bit burst mode, , & keys data enabled (= ).
(11) - Custom wiegand total number of bits [Memory 033]
When this memory is set to a value from 8 to 64 it overrides the standard wiegand
format of start parity followed by site code then user code then end parity and
replaces it with a fully customisable format with a total number of bits (including
any parity bits) as specified in this memory.
Note that using this option requires a high understanding of wiegand data.
NIDAC will only offer limited support for this feature.
(12) - Send LSB first [Memory 034]
101 = LSB of data is sent first for both site and user code.
All other values = MSB of site and user code data sent first.
(13) - Default pattern bytes [Memories 040 to 047]
When the custom wiegand format is used by setting memory 033 then the data
in these memories is used to define the value for those bits not in use by the site
code, user code and parity bits. The data used starts from Bit 0 (LSB) in Default
Pattern byte 0 (memory 047), e.g. if the total number of bits is set to 24 then
Default Pattern bytes 2, 1 & 0 are used.
Wiegand EM Card Proximity Reader Options
These options set the format of the wiegand data sent by the PSC2 when it is in
wiegand mode and an EM RFID card or tag is being read.
26 bit wiegand EM card site code byte to use (14)
EM card custom wiegand format (15)
Number of bits in EM card site code (16)
Number of bits in EM card user code (16)
Number of bits for EM card start parity calculation (7)
Number of bits for EM card end parity calculation (7)
EM card parity polarity (8)
Data start bit from EM card for site code (17)
Data start bit from EM card for user code (17)
(14) - 26 bit wiegand EM card site code byte to use [Memory 060]
121 = Presco reader site code byte used.
202 = Alternate site code byte 2 used.
All other values = Generic EM reader compatible site code byte used.
(15) - EM card custom wiegand format [Memory 061]
101 = 34 bit wiegand (16 bit site code, 16 bit user code, even start & odd end
parity bits for 16 data bits each) using Presco data.
121 = 34 bit wiegand as above using alternate site code data bytes.
202 = Custom wiegand format as defined by memories 62 to 68.
All other values = Standard 26 bit wiegand`.
(16) - Number of bits in EM card site/ user code [Memories 062 & 063]
A maximum of 40 data bits can be set as a sum of these 2 memories. If the sum
exceeds 40 then the number of site code bits will be automatically reduced.
(17) - Data start bit from EM card [Memories 067 & 068]
There are 40 bits of data in an EM card organised as D00-D03, D10-D13, D20-
D23, D30-D33, D40-D43, D50-D53, D60-D63, D70-D73, D80-D83 and D90-D93.
Bit D00 is referred to as bit 1 for this memory and bit D93 as bit 40.
Ensure that when setting the start bit that there are enough bits after the start bit
for the number of bits set for the site or user code data.
SETTING OPTIONS VIA THE PSC2 KEYPAD
To set any of the above options the PSC2 first needs to be placed into option
setting mode, this is done by following the steps below:
1. Remove power from the PSC2.
2. Connect the Orange wire to 0V or hold down the key.
3. Reapply power.
4. Once the LED starts to double flash blue you are in option setting mode.
5. Disconnect the Orange wire or release the key.
6. The PSC2 will remain in option setting mode for 5 minutes from the last
option setting sequence attempted.
Setting an option memory value
<3 digit memory number> <1 to 3 digit value> .
Reset all option memories to factory defaults
whilst in option setting mode.
Exit Option Setting Mode
or wait 5 minutes after last option setting attempt.
NOTE: Remember to disconnect the orange wire from 0V so that the PSC2 will
not start up in option setting mode after a power cycle.
Set PSC2 keypad output to 26bit wiegand
<1 to 3 digit site code value>
Set PSC2 to read same EM card site code as PSC16
