PIN numbers already enrolled, then only the first ddigits need to be
entered to be granted access, where dis the newly programmed PIN
code length. For example, if a four digit PIN has been programmed
and the PIN code length is later changed to three digits, only the first
three digits of the PIN need to be entered.
Setting the Mode of Operation
The unit can be set to one of four operating modes:
Card-Only: Access granted when a valid card is held to the
unit. This is the default mode.
Card and PIN: Access granted when a valid card is held to
the unit and then an enrolled PIN is entered.
Card or PIN: Access granted when either a valid card is
held to the unit or an enrolled PIN is entered.
Bypass: Access granted until bypass mode exit command is
issued.
To set the unit to operate in these modes:
Card-Only
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 3-2-0-0 on the keypad.
Card and PIN
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 3-3-0-0 on the keypad.
Card or PIN
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 3-4-0-0 on the keypad.
Bypass Mode
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 3-8-0-1 on the keypad to enter bypass mode (Enter 3-
8-0-0 to exit bypass mode)
NOTE: In all modes, access will be granted if the supervisor card is
held to the unit and 3-6-0-1 is entered on the keypad.
Changing Door Access Time
The default door access time is four seconds. To change the access
time:
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 2-1-tt on the keypad, where tt is the desired door
access time in seconds (range 01-98).
NOTE: If 2199 is entered, the unit will allow access until a valid
card/PIN is entered.
Changing Lockout Alarm Time
The default door access time is sixty seconds. To change the access
time:
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 2-2-tt on the keypad, where tt is the desired lockout
alarm time in seconds (range 01-98).
NOTE: If 2299 is entered, the unit will continue to assert the lockout
alarm until a valid card/PIN is entered.
Changing Number of Failed Attempts
The default number of failed attempts is three. To change the number
of failed attempts:
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 2-4-nn on the keypad, where nn is the desired number
of failed attempts (range 01-99)
Unless a valid user card is presented to the controller, the controller
will assert the lockout alarm on the next failed attempt.
Resetting the Unit
Resetting the unit will restore the factory settings. It will not delete PIN
numbers or enrolled user and supervisor cards. To reset the unit:
1. Hold the supervisor card to the unit.
2. Enter 0-8-0-0 on the keypad.
Auxiliary Input
The EA-P1-01x controller has an auxiliary input that can be connected
to a momentary push-button. Pin 6 from the JA connector (green wire)
is the auxiliary input. When the auxiliary input is 12VDC, the controller
will grant access while the input is asserted plus the programmed
access time. Connect a momentary push-button switch between the
input lead and a 12VDC source to use this feature. NOTE: The unit
will beep while the input is asserted.
Lockout Alarm (JB Connector)
The EA-P1-01x controller provides a relay output that is activated
when the keypad is locked out due to reaching the number of allowed
failed attempts. This will cause the relay to close (i.e. drive the voltage
at the COM terminal) for the programmed keypad lockout time.
Tamper Switch (JC Connector)
The JC connector can be used to monitor the status of the tamper
switch. When the tamper switch is closed, the NO signal will be driven
to the same voltage level as the COM signal. When the tamper switch
is open, the NC signal will be driven to the same voltage level as the
COM signal. See Wiring Diagram for pinout.
Connecting to Wiegand Reader (JD Connector)
The JD connector can be used to connect a 26-bit Wiegand reader to
the EA-P1-01x. Supervisor and user cards do not need to be re-
enrolled to work with the Wiegand reader. NOTE: Only readers that
provide a 26-bit Wiegand output are supported. See Wiring Diagram
for pinout.
