Introduction

This manual deals with the PRX-40/B Proximity Access controller, one of Synel's series of compact contactless proximity units. PRX-40/B is a stand-alone unit developed as a compact easy-to-use proximity terminal, to be installed at strategic locations in order to grant access to secure zones. The PRX-40/B operates in various unit settings, according to the specific security level required to access a specific area. This aesthetically designed device is made of strong ABS plastic, and can be installed just about anywhere, as a stand-alone contactless terminal or together with a master controller, connected to up to 16 reader units. The IP44 enclosure protects the unit from water splashes and makes the PRX-40/B ideal for exposed environments that can easily damage standard unprotected terminals. Setting the PRX-40/B for maximum security is simple and is enabled by use of an eight digit code, chosen by the customer. Additional access controls have been incorporated to greatly improve security. When working in online mode (as with a Master unit) PRX-40/B uploads data from the from the other units to its internal memory, thus not relaying on an uninterrupted connection to external units. Activation of the unit is performed when a card is held a few centimeters from the unit. PRX-40/B can grant secure access for up to 3800 card holders, stored in an authorized list within the controller. This list is created and edited directly in the unit's compact keyboard, eliminating the need of connecting to a computer. In addition, PRX-40/B can maintain a list of authorized and unauthorized employees

Installation
General

The PRX-40 B proximity unit is installed at sensitive locations in order to grant access to secure areas. The back panel of the unit serves as an installation template, to mark the location of the screws. Mounting screws and plugs are also provided.

4.2

Finding the best location for the unit

Follow the guidelines below to find the best place to mount the terminal: Place the terminal by an easily accessible power outlet. Do not place the communication cable near a source of electromagnetic radiation or radio interference such as power lines, large machinery, etc. Do not place terminal where exposed to extreme hat or cold, water, steam, violent vibrations or strong electromagnetic radiation including high voltage power lines and electrical equipment. The installation location selected should be as far as possible from sources of electrical reference such as power equipment, computers, motors, pumps, etc. Maintain at least a one meter distance from computer displays. Keep the cable by at least 30 cm away from any other cable. Use a power adaptor dedicated to the proximity unit. Make sure the adapter carries a safety recognition marking such as UL, CSA or CE. If you are installing more than one Synel proximity reader, make sure the readers are installed at a distance of at least 50 cm from one another (5 times the unit reading limit). Use a linear power supplier and not a switching power supplier which generates an electro-magnetic field that shortens the reading range. It is advisable to connect an independent power supplier to the reader. Make sure there are no metallic materials surrounding the unit. When mounting on a drywall (gypsum wall), make sure that there are no rear metallic reinforcements to the wall. Make sure that it is safe to drill into the wall at the desired location. The terminal should be mounted at employee eye-height. Consider accessibility of handicap users, if necessary. The standard recommended height is 140cm (47). Place the reader so that the user will be fully facing it when swiping the badge since this is the best swiping position. Caution: The terminal contains computer components. Thus should not be mounted where it will be exposed to extreme heat or cold, water, steam, violent vibrations, high electromagnetic radiation including high voltage power lines and electrical equipment.

Mounting the unit

Select a location for the terminal using the following guidelines for finding the best location: Hold the mounting template to the wall and mark the places to drill holes for the screws and cables. Drill the holes for the connection cable and screws (with 6mm. drill bit). Inset the screw anchors for either plaster or concrete, as needed. Thread the cable through the wall and connect to external components as needed. See the Connect wires section below for cable connection according wire color coding. Mount the panel to the wall and adjust it so that it is straight and the cable is in place. Slide the unit downward onto to the mounting panel. The hinges at the side of the panel (1) should slide into the track of the mounting panel (2).

Management of Access Cards (authorized personnel)

Managing access Cards can be performed three ways: Using Keyboard - Keying-in the keyboard the card number Using Card - Swiping the card By Index - Enables deleting an employee without a card

Using the Keyboard

Build list: After entering set-up mode key-in code 22 (key-in card number to list) (Up to 13 characters in Linear decoding) and key-in all relevant cards. After each keyed-in card number 2 short beeps will indicate that the number was registered successfully. After keying-in all card numbers press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to normal mode. Note: In operation mode 4 - card and pin code, the user must key-in the card number and then key-in the pin code for each card (4 digit code). Delete list: After entering set-up mode key-in code 23 (Delete card by keyboard) and key-in all irrelevant cards. After each keyed-in card number 2 short beeps will indicate that the number was deleted successfully. After keying-in all card numbers press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to normal mode.

Using Card
Build list: After entering set-up mode key-in code 20 (Insert card to list by card) and swipe all relevant cards. After each swiped card 2 short beeps will indicate that the number was registered successfully. After swiping all cards press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to normal mode. Note: In set-up code 12: operation mode no. 4 - card and pin code, the user must swipe the card and then key-in the code (a 4 digit code). Delete list: After entering set-up mode key-in code 21 (delete card by card) and swipe all irrelevant cards. After each swiped card 2 short beeps will indicate that the number was deleted successfully. After swiping all cards press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to normal mode. Note: Whenever a task is completed successfully, a LED flashes and the buzzer beeps.

By index
Insert cards: After entering set-up mode, key-in code 24 (Insert card by Index) and key-in a 4 digit index, swipe card. 2 short beeps will indicate that the number was registered successfully. After swiping all cards press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to 15

PRX-40B

normal mode. Delete cards: After entering set-up mode key-in code 25 (delete card by index) and key-in a 4 digit index. 2 short beeps will indicate that the index was deleted successfully. After swiping all cards press 7&8 simultaneously (mandatory) (press Enter in terminals that consist of an Enter key) in order to revert to normal mode.

Terminology
Card Only - Control is performed by Card only. Global Code only - common global code (4 digit code used by all card-holders). Card or code - Control is performed by Card or keying-in number of card (the length of the keyed-in number must be identical to the defined card length). Card and Global Code - Control is performed by Card and a common global code (four digit code used by all card-holders). Card and PIN Code Control is performed by Card and a personal four digit code. This mode is the most secure.(4 digit code used by each card-holder).

Communication

Interfacing the host is performed via the Master unit. Communication between the master unit and the terminals is performed at 19200 bps. Downloading card numbers from Master to terminals As of Master version 3.20 there is an additional option Send offline list to Access units. All card numbers that are marked as (see Falcon | Personnel | Card Type | Active - Allowed offline) Active - Allowed offline will be sent from the Master to the terminals. When communication is stopped the Terminal will enable access for the cards as mentioned above.

6.2.1

Communication cables characteristics

Follow the listed guidelines when installing the communications cables: The cable should not be installed near EMI factors, such as: Motors, generators, alternators, and transformers Air conditioners, elevators Radio/television transmitters, signal generators and internal communication networks Cables: within 30 cm. (1 foot) of power lines of less than 5 KVA. Cables should not be within 60 cm. (2 feet) of power lines in the 5-10 KVA range. Cables should not be within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of power lines of more than 10 KVA. The cables should not run parallel to power lines for more than 15 meters (49 feet). It is best to use a single cable for the communication line. If it is not possible to use a continues cable only one indoors connection is allowed, constructed in one of these options: 1. Using two connectors with appropriate shielding and cover. 2. Using a connection box. For aerial installation, use N.Y.Y. shielded cables.
