Description
The Easikey 250 (P/N 20370) is a simple two door access control system using Stanley
Security Products’ proximity readers and electronic keys. The system allows you to control
the access of up to 250 keys through one or two doors.
Components
An Easikey 250 system consists of an Easikey 250 door controller, one or two readers and
up to 250 keys. In addition you will require a power supply, cable and suitable electric locks.
Optional items include Request to Exit switches and backup batteries. Stanley Security
Products also provide a Boxed Easikey, consisting of an Easikey 250 controller housed in a
steel cabinet, complete with 3A power supply, space for backup batteries and complete
internal wiring.
How it Works
Each PAC key contains a unique code. The controller can store the code of up to 250 keys in
its non-volatile memory. When a key is presented to a reader, the code in the key is passed
by the reader to the controller. It is then compared to the codes in the controller’s memory.
If the key is recognised by the controller then a relay will be operated allowing the release of
an electric lock.
Programming
An Easikey 250 system is programmed through the use of Editor Keys. The first one, two
or three keys in the controller’s memory are defined as Editor Keys — you select how many
at installation.
By use of the Editor Keys, an operator may add and delete user keys from the controller’s
memory using the built-in reader.
An LCD display is used to indicate user key and system information.
The display also includes two LEDs (light emitting diodes), red and green, for providing extra
indications depending on the type of operation being performed.

How to Use the Easikey 250
This section describes how you should use your Easikey 250 system to its best advantage.
Anyone operating or administering the system should read this section as well as becoming
familiar with Adding Keys and Deleting Keys.
Worksheets
Each Easikey 250 controller is supplied with a set of Programming Worksheets. We strongly
recommend that you use these for recording information about the system as well as for
keeping a record of keyholders. This enables you to find a key on the system, e.g. if you
want to replace a key. The following paragraphs refer to the Programming Worksheets and
how best to use them.
Editor Keys
An Easikey 250 controller can store up to 250 keys in its memory. Door access permission
can be set for every key as follows: Door 1 only, Door 2 only or both doors.
Up to three of these user keys are also given the ability to make changes to the system —
such as adding new keys or deleting existing keys. These are known as Editor Keys. When
the system is first installed the number of Editor Keys is set.
You should know how many user keys are also Editor Keys; if you do not, then find out from
whoever installed the system. There is a section on the Programming Worksheet to record
this number.
It is recommended that you assign two or three keys as editors, and keep at least one in a
safe place. Editor Keys can be deleted and added just like normal keys. However if all your
Editor Keys are lost, you must follow the procedure to replace Editor Key 0. You cannot
change the total number of Editor Keys without clearing the whole memory.
7

Administering Keys
Each key added to the system is given a number, 0–249. The lowest available number is
displayed when a new key is presented, although this can be changed to another unused
number if necessary. When a key is deleted from the Easikey 250’s memory, its number
becomes available again.
If you wish to change an existing key’s number or its door permissions, you must first delete
it from the system and then add it as a new key with the correct information.
When you add a new key to the Easikey 250 system you need to record the number (0-249)
it was given, and to whom it was issued. This is important so that if the keyholder loses the
key you can delete it by entering its 3-digit number. Use the Worksheets supplied for this
purpose.
You can identify keys that have been found by presenting them to the controller reader.
Their 3-digit number will be displayed, along with a red LED. (If a green LED is displayed, it
means the key is unknown to the Easikey 250.)
The worksheet has an unlabelled column in the keyholder section. You can use this for
recording your own information. Typically you may record Department or Office in a
commercial system, or Flat, Building or Block in a residential system.
For residential users different coloured clips are available. These clip over the top of the PAC
key. You can use these clips to identify different keys issued to one keyholder. A residential
system, for instance, may issue a red, blue and yellow key to one resident for use by the
occupants of one dwelling. If one key is lost they can refer to their “red key” as being
missing.
The worksheets contain a column for indicating the colour given to a key.
A grid on one side of the PAC key can also be used for physically marking a key. You put a
small scratch, or drop of paint or correcting fluid, in different boxes to identify individual
keys.
Residential Systems
Two special worksheets are included that are designed for use in Residential applications.
They are labelled Staff and Residents. You should use the Staff worksheet for recording
personnel such as cleaners, maintenance staff, housing officers, etc., and the Residents
worksheet for the residents.

Power Supply
The Easikey 250 controller and readers are powered from a 12v AC or DC power supply. The
locks are controlled by switching power from the same or different supply. The relays that
control the locks are able to switch 24v DC at up to 2 Amps. A power supply with battery
backup should be selected to provide operation when mains power is lost.
The power supply chosen should be capable of supplying sufficient current to power the
Easikey 250 controller, one or two readers, and one or two electric locks, and provide
charging current for the battery.
Connecting Power
Power is supplied through the P1 and P2 terminal block. See the section Installing Locks and
Power Supply for details of power and lock wiring.
17

Battery Backup
The length of time that a backup battery will last depends on the power consumption of the
system.
The main factor here is the power consumption of the locks. A Fail-Safe (Fail Open) lock
requires current continuously while a Fail-Secure (Fail Closed) lock only draws current when
it operates. You need to estimate how often the lock will operate and then use the following
equation to estimate consumption:
Consumption = Lock Current × (Operations per hour × lock release time) / 3600
Example
A 500mA lock operating 100 times an hour for 5 seconds would use 500 × (100 × 5) /
3600 = 69mA per hour.
Once the total power consumption has been estimated then it can be calculated how long
the fully charged batteries will last. The Ah rating of batteries is usually given as a 10 hour
discharge rate. If the batteries discharge over a shorter period of time they will last for less
than their quoted capacity.
Example
An Easikey 250 with two readers and two continuous (Fail-Safe) locks each drawing
250mA would consume 190 + 90 + 90 + 250 + 250 = 870mA. A fully charged
12Ah battery would last 12 / 0.870 = 13.7 hours.
Readers
Install readers according to the instructions supplied with each reader. Readers are usually
installed at about door handle height on the unhinged side of the door.
All readers have the same wiring terminals, and are fitted with a green LED that illuminates
when access is allowed, and stays illuminated for the duration of the lock release time.
The maximum distance of a reader from the controller is 100m.
If two readers are fitted then they must be at least 300mm apart.
The Easikey 250 is compatible with OneProx readers and Easikey readers.
18

Request to Exit (RTE)
A Request to Exit switch may be fitted on the secure side of the door. This should be a
normally-open switch that closes momentarily when pressed and released. Do not allow the
wiring for the RTE switch to be visible if the reader is removed from the wall.
Reader Wiring
If you do not intend to use the RTE switch then unscreened 4-core cable will be suitable;
otherwise use 6-core cable.

Note: The reader outputs are set at 90mA. Stanley Security Products strongly recommend
that you fit a 100mA in-line fuse in the reader supply.
19

Installing Locks and Power Supply
Locks should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The Easikey 250
controls the operation of a lock by switching power using a voltage-free relay. Up to 24v DC
at 2 Amps may be switched by the relays. Each lock may be programmed to be Fail-Safe
(continuously powered, power removed to unlock) or Fail-Secure (power supplied to unlock).
The type of cable used should be sufficient to provide the correct operating voltage at the
lock. Usually at least 0.5mm² will be required for a range of up to 100m.
Lock Suppression
Important
All PAC readers are supplied with a suppression device, a MOV (metal oxide
varistor). This device should be fitted across the lock supply at the lock. These
devices prevent harmful back E.M.F. (“spikes”) from damaging the Easikey 250
controller. Failure to fit these devices may result in long term damage to the
controller and possible problems of door sticking.

Health and Safety
Any installation must comply with any local Fire, Health and Safety regulations. A secured
door that may be part of an escape route from an area should be fitted with:
• A Fail-Safe lock (A), so that the door will be released if the power fails. Ideally a
magnetic lock should be used as these are less likely to jam or seize.
• A normally-closed Break-Glass or Manual Pull (B) in the lock supply wiring, so
that in an emergency the Fail-Safe lock can be immediately depowered.
BA
Checking the System
After completing the wiring of power supply, readers and locks you should make the
following checks.
Checking the System
1. Remove power. Remove all terminal blocks except for the power supply
(P1 and P2). Apply power.
You should have between 10.5 and 20V DC or between 8 and 14.5V AC across
P1 and P2.
2. Remove power. Connect Reader 1 terminal block. Apply power.
You should have between 10 and 16V DC at the controller (+V1, -V1) and 9–16V DC
at the reader (+V, -V).
3. Repeat for Reader 2, if used.
22

Boxed Easikey 250

Installing the Boxed Easikey 250
See Installation for full details on installing the Easikey 250 system. Instructions specific to
the Boxed Easikey 250 / Boxed Easikey 250 with Cutout are given here.
Mounting the Cabinet
The cabinet should be mounted vertically on a flat wall. As the controller is used for
administering the system you should ensure that the cabinet is located in a well lit,
comfortable location allowing personnel easy access. The cabinet should be positioned so
that the controller display is at about eye-level.
Mounting the Cabinet — Boxed Easikey 250
1. Using the keyhole at the top centre as a pivot, temporarily hang the cabinet and
use the four corner holes as a template to mark the position of the fixing points.
2. Use Nº 8 1½" self-tapping screws and appropriate fixings to attach the cabinet
to the wall.

Power Supply Wiring
The cabinet already contains wiring from the power supply to the Easikey 250 controller and
to the battery wiring harness (although batteries are not supplied). Wiring is also in place
bringing the lock outputs to a terminal block below the Easikey 250 controller.
Cable Entry Options — Boxed Easikey 250
• Two 40mm holes in the back of the cabinet for rear entry.
• A 20mm knockout at the top and bottom of each side for surface mounted
conduit.
• A 20mm × 40mm removable plastic insert at each side of the top and bottom
surfaces for surface mounted trunking. Each insert also has two 15mm
knockouts.
Cable Entry Options — Boxed Easikey 250 with Cutout
• Two holes in the back of the cabinet for rear entry.
• Two knockouts on the top suitable for use with 25 × 16mm trunking.
• A 20mm knockout at the bottom of each side for surface mounted conduit.
• Two 20mm knockouts on the bottom for surface mounted conduit.
Mains Power
Mains power, 240v AC, should be supplied to the controller through an illuminated,
unswitched spur. Use the following colour code:

Battery Backup
There is room in the cabinet for two 6Ah batteries giving a total of 12 Ah supply. See the
section on Battery Backup for more information.
27

Power Supply Specification
The power supply is capable of supplying a maximum of 3 Amps. This should be sufficient to
power the Easikey 250 controller, one or two readers and one or two electric locks, and
provide charging current for the battery.
Use the following table to ensure you do not overload the power supply:
Item Current (mA)
Easikey 250 Controller 190
Reader 1 90
Reader 2 90
Lock 1
Lock 2
Charging Current 500
Safety Margin 500
Total
The total current should not exceed 3A (3000mA). This leaves approximately 1600mA
available for supplying the locks on a two door system.
Checking the System — Boxed Easikey 250 / Boxed Easikey 250 with Cutout
1. With the mains supply connected, power up the system with no locks or readers
connected.
2. Using a multimeter set to DC volts, measure the voltage across the P1 and P2
terminals of the Easikey 250 controller.
The voltage should read between 13.5 and 13.8v DC.
2. If you are using battery backup, power up with the battery (or batteries)
connected and measure the voltage between P1 and P2.
This should still be between 13.5 and 13.8v DC.
3. Disconnect the mains supply and measure the voltage between P1 and P2.
The voltage should now be approximately 12.5v DC from a fully charged battery.
4. Continue with the procedure described in the section on Checking the System.
5. Finally, repeat the checks described above but with a fully working system
complete with locks and readers.
28

Initial Programming
The initialisation of the controller involves clearing its memory and assigning the number of
Editor Keys (up to 3) that will be used.
Editor Keys are used to confirm the addition, deletion or change of a user key.
Once you have set the number of Editor Keys, you cannot change the number without
clearing the Easikey 250’s memory again. However the actual Editor Keys can be removed
and added — see the sections on Adding Editor Keys and Deleting Keys. Record the number
of Editor Keys on the Programming Worksheet.
Initialising the Easikey 250
1. Power up the Easikey 250 with all three buttons held down:
SelectEditors
Noofkeys:3
Note: This will clear the memory of the Easikey 250.
2. Change number of Editor Keys?

EnrolEditorKey
29

Adding Editor Keys
You must now enrol the first Editor Key, i.e. Editor Key 0. Editor Keys will also act as user
keys and allow access through the doors as required.
Like user keys, each Editor Key has an access level. The access level specifies whether the
key can open Door 1 only, Door 2 only or both. It is not possible to set the access level such
that the key cannot open either door.
Editor Key 0 is always set to access both doors — you cannot change this. However, you
can set the access level for Editor Keys 1 and 2.

There is no difference between adding Editor Keys and adding user keys. Depending on
the number of Editor Keys that you selected when you initialised the controller, keys
number 0 and possibly 1 and 2 will be Editor Keys; all the other keys will be user keys.
You can add Editor Keys using any of the methods you use to add user keys. For
example, you can add Editor Keys singly or in batch; you can set the access level of
Editor Keys; you can start adding an Editor Key and then change its number to be a user
key or vice versa.
The instructions below assume that you will add all the Editor Keys in batch when you
first initialise the Easikey 250. This is the recommended method. See Adding a Key for
other options that are available when adding keys — e.g. if you want to add one Editor
Key now and add others later.

Lock Time and Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure Settings
Each of the two lock relays can be set to operate the lock for between 1 and 49 seconds.
Each relay may also be set to open or close when operated, allowing the use of Fail-Safe
(power to lock) or Fail-Secure (power to release) locks.
Lock 1 may also be set to operate in a Toggle function — see Set-Reset Latch for details.

Set-Reset Latch
The set-reset latch facility is available on Lock 1 only. It allows the lock relay to be set
when a valid key is presented, and reset when a valid key is presented again. This allows the
reader to be used like a toggle to operate another system.
Note: When this facility is used, the Request to Exit facility for Door 1 will no longer be
available.

Database Copy
This facility allows the contents of one Easikey 250’s memory to be copied to another
Easikey 250. The receiving Easikey 250 will have the contents of its memory completely
overwritten by the contents of the sending Easikey 250.
Note: You can copy from one Easikey 250 to another Easikey 250, or from an Easikey 99 to
an Easikey 250. You cannot copy from an Easikey 250 to an Easikey 99.
Connecting Two Easikey 250 Controllers for Database Copy
1. Remove power from both Easikey 250s.
(Only one Easikey 250 needs to be powered during the copy.)
2. Connect Reader terminal 2 of each Easikey 250 with the following cable:
Sending Controller Receiving Controller

Dual Controller Option
It is possible to increase the number of keyholders by connecting a reader to the same door
channel on two Easikey 250 Controllers. If a key is found in either of the Controllers then
the lock relay will operate. The diagrams below show two controllers controlling one Lock 1.
To control Lock 2, connect a single reader to channel 2 of both controllers, and the lock
through terminals L3 and L4 of each controller. Note that power is supplied to both Easikey
250 controllers.
Note: You can connect two Easikey 250s, or connect an Easikey 250 and an Easikey 99. In
the diagrams below, Controller 1 is always an Easikey 250; Controller 2 may be
either an Easikey 250 or an Easikey 99. The connections for reader and lock wiring
are identical on an Easikey 99 and an Easikey 250.
Reader Wiring
Notice that the reader wiring shown below includes a diode (1N4001, not supplied) at each
A1 (or A2) terminal. This is essential to provide correct operation of the reader LED.
The Request to Exit switch can be fitted to either controller.

Lock Wiring
Two different lock wiring configurations are required for Fail-Secure and Fail-Safe locks.
Fail-Secure locks are wired so that the relays are in parallel, so that if any relay closes,
power will be applied. Fail-Safe locks are wired with the relays in series, so whenever one
relay opens, power will be removed.

Programming
Both Easikey 99 / 250s should be installed and initialised as described in this manual.
However, please note the following:
• You should add the same Editor Keys to each Easikey 99 / 250.
• Ensure that the Lock Release Times for each lock are programmed in exactly the
same way on each controller.
• The lock type (Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure) must be the same on both controllers.
• Note to which controller each key is added. If you need to delete a key then you
must know to which controller it was added.
