5 Installation Review The overall installation steps are shown in the following block diagram. The detailed descriptions are given in the subsection below. Step 1: Preparing for the Installation • Obtain a floor plan • Determine the hardware and location • Determine the number of controller and modules and system architecture Step 2: Hardware Installation • Mount the controller and enclosure • Install and connect the card readers • Connect the electric strikes or mag locks • Connect the controller to the system computer and desktop reader • Mount a backup battery in the enclosure Step 3: Software Setup/Configuration • Install the software in the control computer • Setup the user accounts who will use the software • Configure the controller and all other hardware settings • Configure the holidays, access group and the door controlschedule • Enroll the cards and set the cardholders’ properties
6 Preparing for the Installation Before beginning the installation process, EverAccess recommends that the user properly prepares by gathering certain information. Proper preparation will help ensure a smooth installation, and will save the installer time and hassle in the long run. The following information is essential for a professional installation: Obtain a Floor Plan Obtain a floor plan of the building in which the access control system is to be installed. Obtaining a floor plan helps the installer determine what components need to be installed, and where. It also is essential in determining the length of cable needed to connect readers to the controller. A floor plan can be a blue print of the building, a design, or simply a drawing of the facility. Any document showing the footprint of the building can be used. The dimensions are important to note, especially when determining cable lengths. A floor plan may be obtained from your local city hall. Determining Hardware and Location Determining which hardware to use and where it will be installed.This is the most crucial step in the preparation stage. First, determine how many access points, or doors, need to be managed by the access control system. These access points will control the security of the facility, and can limit the entry and exit to and from any given area of the building. After deciding which doors need to be controlled, the user must also determine the level of security needed at each door. There are many ways to manage each door, using different resources. These resources include, but are not limited to: prox readers, mag stripe readers, relays, and request to exits. A few common door configurations are described below: 1. One reader, basic access control The most basic configuration involves one card reader and an electric strike. In this configuration, a person presents a card to the reader, and is either granted or denied access. The electric strike unlocks if the system grants access. Another variation of this scenario involves setting the system up to monitor whether the door is open, which allows the system to protect against propped open doors, or doors being held open for too long. 2. One reader, with request to exit device Adding a request to exit device to scenario 1 allows the system to control when to allow people to exit through a door. Request to exit devices include buttons that a person must press in order to exit, or a motion detector that automatically unlocks the door when a person approaches. These devices are always installed on the secure side of the door.
7 Fig. 1.2 A Common Door Configuration with Entry Reader 3. Two readers, entry and exit access control If additional security is needed at a particular door, or if the administrator needs a record of the time and date that people enter AND exit a door. Adding a second reader on the secure side of the door will require people to present a card to exit as well as enter. This scenario provides the added security benefit of allowing the system to control who can enter, and who can exit. It also allows the administrator to control when people can enter and exit. Scenario 1 and 2 require one reader. Scenario 3 requires two. Each door module on the EverAccess controller can control two readers. Therefore, scenarios 1 and 2 allow one door module to control two doors. Scenario 3 requires one door module for each door. This is important to consider when choosing the appropriate number of modules and readers. Determining System Structure as well as the Number of Controller and Modules Determine how many controllers are needed, and whether an Ethernet interface is required. 1. Each EverAccess controller can accommodate up to 8 card readers. If the system to be installed requires more than 8 readers, additional controllers are necessary. These controllers can be connected to the system as described in chapter 4. 2. If one or more controller is to be installed at a different location than the system computer is to be installed, an Ethernet interface is required to connect over the internet. An Ethernet interface may also be used in locations at which the controllers are installed a long distance away from the system PC. Please refer to chapter 4 for more details on installing the Ethernet interface. Entry Card ReadersDoor SensorDoor lockAdditional Power Supply EverAccessEXITV+V-Request-to-exit
8 Hardware Installation In this chapter, after preparing for the installation, the user is ready to begin the install. This section will describe, in general terms, how to install the hardware. Here are the following processes: • Mount the enclosure (enclosure optional) and controller • Install and connect the card readers • Connect the electric strikes or mag locks • Connect the controller to the system computer and system reader (system reader optional) • Mount a backup battery in the enclosure (optional) Mounting the Enclosure and Controller The controller is an essential part of the access control system. We recommend mounting it in an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure (also sometimes referred to as a panel or a can). The controller should be mounted in a location that is convenient and easily accessible, but also secure. The controller acts as the brain of the access control system and can be used to make changes to the database. When choosing a location to mount the controller, choose a clean, dry location that will allow the administrator easy access to make changes to the system, but that can be secured from the general public. The enclosure must be mounted on a sturdy wall using fasteners or anchors (to be provided by the installer). If you are using an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure there must be an AC power outlet for the enclosure in order to power the controller. (The EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure uses a built in 15 V DC power supply with 110V AC input.) In addition, the system computer should be near the controller, so that the controller can be connected to the PC, allowing the administrator to utilize the Flex Series software. If the system requires additional door or alarm modules, install them in the controller before mounting the controller in the enclosure or on the wall. Please Note: If the controller screw holes due not line up properly with the enclosure some filing may be needed for adjustment. Chapter 2
9 The EverAccess Controller package includes two support frames to elevate the controller in order to make wire connections more convenient. The installation is described in the steps below: Step 1. Mount the two support frames on a wall or on the interior of the EverAccess enclosure. When mounting to a wall, use the mounting template included in the packaging to help position the holes to mount the controller on a wall. If using the EverAccess enclosure, use the four pre-drilled holes on the back wall of the enclosure. Step 1 Step 2 Step 2. Mount the controller base board. a. Place the controller base board on the support frames. Line up the four latches on the support frames with the holes on the controller base board. Once lined up, slide the controller base board down to secure it in place. At this point the two screw holes on the top two corners of the controller base board should be aligned with the corresponding holes on the support frame. b. Secure the controller base board to the support frames with the two screws (provided in the controller package). Step 3. Install and mount additional door modules or the alarm module a. Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make sure that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module. b. Secure the module to the controller base board using the three screws (provided in the module package).
10 Step 3 Installing a Module to Controller EverAccess Flex series controller can hook up to 4 door modules and 1 alarm module. Please note only ONE alarm module can be installed to the controller. Each door module is cascaded to its left side module till the main module. The door modules and the alarm module can be placed in any sequence. The index will follow the same rules (refer to next subsection). The steps to install a new module are described below: Figure 2.1 Install a New Module to Controller 12
111. Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make sure that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module. 2. Secure the module to the controller base board using the three screws (provided in the module package). Reader/Door Index Conversion One EverAccess Flex Series controller can accommodate up to 4 door modules, each of which controls 2 readers. The index conversion of readers and is displayed below. The readers/doors are counted 1 to 8 from right to left: Figure 2.2 Reader/Door Index Conversions Please Note: Each card reader can be associated with any door index.

18Connection to Door Lock Electric strikes and magnetic locks are used to keep doors locked unless the system grants access or the user sets the doors to remain unlocked. The installer must supply the electric strikes and/or magnetic locks. It is recommended that the installer follow and keep the instructions for these locks. One strike or mag lock is required for each door. These locks must be powered separately from the readers. The mounting instructions for strikes and mag locks vary depending on the manufacturer and type of lock. Please consult the instructions included with the door hardware when installing. Once the locks are installed, follow the instructions below to connect them to the controller. Each door module provides an interface to two door control relays. Terminals 11 ~13 are for door 1 connections and terminals 27~29 are for door 2 connections. Terminals 12 and 28 are named common terminals (COM). Terminals 13 and 29 are used for normally closed terminal (N.C.) locks. Terminals 11 and 27 are used for normally open terminal (N.O.) locks. The electrical door lock must have a separate power supply. The power supply for the electrical door lock depends on the specification of the lock. Carefully choose the cable connecting the door locks to fit the current draw. Two common types of electrical door locks in the market are electric strike locks and magnetic locks. The connection methods for these examples are shown in Fig. 2.10 and 2.11 respectively.

29Connecting Power Connecting the Power Supply Connect the positive end to the terminal 18 on the main module and the GND to terminal 19 on the main module, as shown in Fig. 4.1. V＋V－ Fig. 4.1 Connection to Power Supply The voltage supply for EverAccess controller can handle a range of DC 9V ~18V. The maximum current draw of the controller is 500 mA. If the backup battery is connected to the controller, a power supply with DC15V output is required. The power supply in the EverAccess enclosure is DC15V. In addition, the controller provides a 12V power supply for the card readers. It should be noted that if a controller powers multiple card readers, the current draw will be increased. The total current draw can be calculated as below: controllertoconnectedreadersreadercontroller numbercurrentCurrent×+=500 Important Tips: The voltage supply should be located no more than 2 meters from the controller. Also, electric locks and alarm devices MUST be powered separately. The controller’s power supply can power the controller and modules, and the card readers, but NOT the locking hardware or alarm devices. Chapter 4 Main module
30Mount a Backup Battery (optional) If the installer chooses, a backup battery may be mounted in the EverAccess enclosure and connected to the controller to provide backup power in the event of external power loss. Once the battery is installed, it will charge off the external power until it is needed, at which time it will automatically be used to power the system. Connection to Backup Battery Connect the positive end of the backup battery to terminal 20 and the negative end of the backup battery to terminal 21, as shown in Fig. 4.2. Fig. 4.2 Connection to Backup Battery If a backup battery is connected, the controller will automatically switch to backup power in the event that the external power is lost. The backup battery will charge while external power is being supplied. In general, the larger the battery capacity is, the longer it can support the controller. Roughly speaking, a 12AH battery can provide 4 hours of energy for a controller containing 4 door modules, 1 alarm modules and 8 card readers.

(The numbers correspond to the number of door modules installed in the controller) “Y” indicates fail-safe; “N” indicates fail-secure. Press ENT to confirm. Press to exit without effecting any change. The default setting for door control at fire alarm is all the doors are fail-safe, i.e. all the doors will be unlocked during a fire alarm. Alarm Setting EverAccess Flex controller is equipped with powerful alarm functions. With alarm modules and door modules fully installed, the controller can accommodate up to 10 alarm inputs and 18 alarm outputs. At the meantime, EverAccess Flex controller also provide very flexible configuration. Any event can be arbitrarily allocated to single or multiple alarm outputs. Alarm components, configuration basics, and menu settings are introduced below. Components for Alarm EverAccess Flex controller consists of two basic components: one main module and one door module. User can install three more door modules and one alarm module. These three types of module are all equipped with alarm function. The main module has 2 alarm inputs, corresponding to fire alarm and Alarm In 0 . It has 2 alarm outputs as well, called Main Alarm Output and Auxiliary Alarm Output respectively. Each door module has 2 alarm outputs, which usually react to alarm events on the corresponding door. However, it can be set to react to other alarm events as well. Alarm outputs on the door module can connect up to 5A external alarm devices. Alarm module has 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. 8 alarm inputs can connect to external alarm input devices, such as PIR motion sensor, glass sensor and etc. 8 alarm outputs can connect up to 2A external alarm devices. The above mentioned are physical devices providing alarm function. User can freely define the allocation of any input to any output. The following section outlines basic concepts for events, alarm and configuration. Alarm Configuration Basics EverAccess Flex controller keeps tracking all events in the access control system, either legal or illegal, either normal or abnormal, for example, the granted access, the denied access and so on. 12345678 YYYYYYYY CLR
48Some events are critical which must trigger the alarm output, like the firm alarm input, the zone alarm input and etc. But some events are not that important to trigger the alarm output, like the denied access due to the invalid time. These settings all depend on the users’ requirements. EFC-02 controller collects all events that might trigger the alarm output and provides the full capacity to enable or disable the alarm output on these events. Sometimes user wishes to allocate a particular event to a particular alarm output, or allocate alarm inputs in certain area to multiple alarm outputs. EFC-02 controller delivers all the function and flexibility user need. User can define whether certain event will trigger an alarm, and can further specify to which alarm output that event is allocated. All events that might trigger an alarm are listed below: Fire alarm, zone alarm 1~8, unknown card, expired card, invalid card, invalid door, invalid time, card anti-pass back fail, card PIN fail, SYS PIN fail, ARM PIN fail, door forced open, door held open, reader lost, Alarm In 0 and remote alarm All these events can be allocated to any alarm relay output on main module, door module, and alarm module. The detailed configuration method is introduced in the following section. Enter Alarm Setting Menu Under System menu, press fours times to bring up the following window: Press ENT to enter Alarm Setting menu. Use and to choose from different menu options. All menu options under Alarm Setting are introduced below: Alarm Setting Menu Structure There are three submenus under Alarm Setting, as shown below: Alarm Setting Alarm SettingAlarm Action Setting Extended Alarm Setting Alarm Time Setting
49Alarm Action Setting menu is used to configure alarm outputs of all events on main module and door module. The submenu for arm zone events will not appear if no alarm module is installed. Extended Alarm Setting menu is used to configure alarm outputs of all events on alarm module. This menu will not appear if no alarm module is installed. Alarm Time Setting is used to configure the time period of alarm outputs. Enter Alarm Action Setting Sub-menu The following window appears after entering the Alarm Setting menu: Press ENT to enter Alarm Action Setting menu. The first submenu is for fire alarm outputs. Use and to choose from different alarm menus for different events. Alarm output configuration for all events is basically the same. As an example, alarm output configuration for invalid card event is introduced below. The figure below shows the menu interface: The upper line indicates the card to be configured, i.e., invalid card. The first 8 characters of the lower line are alarm output status of this event on the door module, while the 2 characters following the minus sign are alarm output status on the Main alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on the main module. Y indicates there is alarm output (relay energized) and N indicates there is no alarm output (relay not energized). R refers specifically to alarm output relay on the door module, indicating that alarm output will be generated only if the event occurs on the corresponding door. In the above example, the alarm output relay on door #1 will be energized if and only if the access request on door #1 is denied due to the invalid card event. On the contrary, the alarm output relay on door #8 will be energized as long as an invalid card event occurs. For alarm output relay on door #2~7, no alarm output will be generated due to the invalid card event. The NN following the minus sign indicates no alarm output from the Main alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on main module when an invalid card event occurs. In this menu, press numeric key 1~8 to toggle the alarm output status of this event on the door module among Y, N, and R. Press numeric key 9,0 to toggle the alarm output status of this event on the Main alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on the main module between Y and N.

Please refer to subsection “Reader Setting” for instructions on enabling these features.) The part number for the EverAccess keypad reader is ERK-871. The user must first enter a command to get into the arm operation mode. (The command is introduced in step 1 below.) In the arm operation mode, the yellow LED on the ERK-871 will show the four different system modes outlined below: Yellow LED Status System ARM Status OFF Indicates that the system is disarmed ON Indicates that the system is armed Flashing Slowly Indicates that the system is in arm delay period Flashing Quickly Indicates that the system is armed and some alarm input has triggered the alarm output. The steps to arm or disarm the system at a keypad reader are as follows: 1. Press followed by the 6-pin ARM PIN. Press again 2. The reader is now in the arm operation mode. 3. If the system is in disarmed mode (the yellow LED is OFF), press to arm the system. The system will enter the arm delay period (the yellow LED will slowly flash). Note: The system will not enter the arm delay period, if an alarm input is active when the user attempts to arm the system. In other words, after is pressed, if the yellow LED remains off, the system cannot enter the arm delay period because an alarm input is active. If the system is in armed mode (the yellow LED is ON) or in the arm delay period (the yellow LED is flashing slowly), press to disarm the system. Then the system will enter the disarmed mode (the yellow LED will be off). If the system is in alarm triggered mode (the yellow LED is flashing quickly), press to clear the alarm.

61Software Setup Please Note: This is a brief instruction on EverAccess Flex Series Software for a more detailed instruction guide please refer to the EverAccess Flex Series Software Manual. The next step after hardware installation is to configure the whole access control system. Flex series controller has the ability to allow users configure the basic setting through the keypad on the controller. But for the detailed, complicated settings, we recommend to use the management software. To configure the system in software, several major steps that you need to follow are shown as below: 1. Install the software in the control computer 2. Setup the user accounts who will use the software 3. Configure the controller and all other hardware settings 4. Configure the holidays, access group and the door control schedule 5. Enroll the cards and set the cardholders’ properties Install the Software in the Control Computer Just like installing any other software in the computer, inserts the software installation CD into the CDROM, and run the setup program. Choose a special installation folder if needed, otherwise just follow the setup wizard and choose the default selection. To run the software, you need the administrator privilege and the basic computer requirement is as follows: 1. Pentium 3 CPU 2. Windows 2K, XP 3. 100M bytes free space in hard drive 4. 128M memory For the details of the software installation and the minimum computer requirement, please refer to the software manual. Chapter 6
62Setup the User Accounts for the Software A User of Flex series access control software is a person who operates the software at any user interface. Each user belongs to a certain authority group. The authority group defines the authority level of users over the operations in the software. Different authority groups have the different access to the operations in the software. The first step to use the software is to setup a user list that defines who will be able to use the software, and assign the authority group to each user. This user name and the password will be required to login the software. Please note that a user in admin group is required to configure all the other settings. For the details to setup a user account, please refer to the software manual. Configure the Controller and All Other Hardware In this step, users need to set all the configurations for the controllers, doors, readers and alarms. All these configurations are closely related to the hardware. The rough sub steps are as below: 1. Add a controller to the system Go to the controller configuration dialog box in the software. Click the ‘add’ button, give the RS485 address for the controller, set the serial port for the controller and click the submit button to connect a controller. If the wiring is correct and the address of the controller is valid, the software should be able to find the controller and show the status of the controller as ‘online’. This indicates that the controller has been added to the system. 2. Configure the door settings Door name, door open time and door held open time should be configured in this step. Door name is used to help users remember the door location and help make the configuration process easier. Door open time defines the amount of time that the door can remain open after the door is unlocked, before an alarm is generated by the controller. For more detailed information on door settings, please refer to the chapter in this manual entitled “controller functionality and configuration”. 3. Configure the reader settings Users can configure the following properties of the readers: the reader-to-door allocation, the keypad reader and the system reader. For the more details about the reader settings, please refer to chapter 6.
63On the EFC-02, readers can be allocated to different doors, and can be set as ENTER only or EXIT only. So set these properties following the system access control plan. Keypad Settings define whether the reader is a keypad reader. The System Reader can be used to acquire the card’s serial number easily and conveniently. 4. Configure the alarm settings All of the alarm inputs can be assigned to the different alarm outputs. Also users can set the events that can trigger alarm outputs. Configure the Holidays, Access Group and Door Control Schedule At this step, users will configure the holidays, access groups and the door control schedule. 1. Configure the holidays Users can add or delete holidays in the software. Beside holidays, two additional types of dates are supplied in the system. Different access rules can be applied to different dates. 2. Configure the access groups An access group defines a group of cardholders who share the same access rules at the associated access points and at specified times. Set the access rules for the access group here. And assign the cardholder to a certain access group in the next step. 3. Configure the door control schedule On the Flex series controller, the door can be configured as normally open, with card, with PIN and card, which means, respectively, the door will be remain open, a valid card has to be presented, and both a valid card and a PIN have to be presented to require the access. Please refer to the software manual for the details. Enroll Cards This will explain the steps to enroll cards in the system. There are two ways to enroll a card: 1. Enter the card number manually. 2. Present a card at the desktop reader and the card number will be added into the system automatically. The properties for each card should be input at this time. The primary properties are card holder name, PIN, forced PIN, and access group. Users can configure the
64cardholders individually or can do batch configurations if a group of cardholders share common properties.
