Malfunction: Causes And Remedies - BFT COMPASS-485 Instructions D'utilisation Et D'installation

ENGLISH
For example: all Dip Switches Off = address 0, Dip Switch 1 On
only = address 1, Dip Switch 4 On only= address 8, Dip Switch
1+2+5 On= 19.
Only the addresses from 0 to 19 are valid and when connecting
several Compass-485 units it is essential that the address be
univocal in order to avoid conflicts (Fig.4).
Dip 1 ON = 1
Dip 2 ON = 2
Dip 3
ON = 4
Dip 4
ON = 8
Dip 5 ON = 16
The table in Fig.5 shows the valid configurations.
The Dip Switches 6 - 7 - 8 are to be used for the generation
of the Master cards (see paragraph 5). Upon completion of
generation, they must be reset to OFF.
Dip 6 - Generation of Master Card +
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
Dip 7 - Generation of Master Card -
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
Dip 8 - Generation of Master Card Jolly
ON = Activated (show card) OFF= (deactivated)
8) CONNECTION OF PC
The system can be interfaced with a personal computer for the
complete monitoring of access (Fig.4).
In this case, the following accessories are required:
COMPASS 232 - PC interface: permits the connection of up to
20 COMPASS-485 to a PC (see diagram Fig.4/Fig6).
Furthermore, Compass 232 has all the same functions as the
COMPASS-485 and it is therefore possible to connect a Compass-
Reader, as shown in Fig.4, without changing the maximum number
of installable COMPASS-READERS (20).
NOTE: Connect a 120 Ohm/0.25W resistor to the COMPASS-485
unit further along the line between terminals 8 and 9, as shown
in Fig.6.
SECURBASE - Monitoring software:
- Increases the number of cards which can be memorised and
controlled (subject to the PC memory).
- Permits the setting of access time (the user can only have
access during pre-established periods of time).
- Permits the setting of access dates (the user can only have
access in pre-established days).
- Anti-passback function.By installing the additional COMPASS-
READER/485 unit at the exit, the user is obliged to exit before
being allowed to re-enter.
- Real-time display of access status.
- Real-time display of data regarding the card's owner.
- Setting of the parameters related to all of the connected rea-
ders.
- Recording of access events with possibility of subsequent
tracing and printing.
- Control of up to 20 COMPASS-485 units.
The control of cards by Securbase is performed by means of a
"system reader" represented by a Compass Reader/485 combi-
nation of any kind set by the software as reader for card insertion
into the PC. For practical reasons, it is recommended to use as
system reader the Compass Reader which is closest to the PC
station (for example in fig.4 Compass Reader 0).
WARNING: It is important to make sure that the communica-
tion address (polling) of each Compass-485 unit is univocal
and included between 0 and 19. Addresses above 19 are not
recognised. The presence of two Compass 485 units with the
same address causes software conflicts.
NOTE:When communication between the Securbase and Compass-
485 units is interrupted due to a failure or software problem, the
14 - COMPASS-485/232 - Ver. 04
INSTALLATION MANUAL
OFF= 0
OFF= 0
OFF= 0
OFF= 0
OFF= 0
stand-alone functions of the Compass-485 unit are nevertheless
active, which means that the access events can always be controlled
and the validity of the cards in the memory be checked. For this to
be effective, it is necessary to update the memory of the Compass-
485 unit every time activation or deactivation occurs.
For further information, refer to the Securbase Instructions.

9) MALFUNCTION: CAUSES AND REMEDIES

a) The POW Led is off:
Check if the system is being supplied with power.
b) The reader does not recognise the card:
Make sure that the type of card is correct and that it is enabled.
Check for the presence of power supply (POW Led on) and that
the system is wired and configured correctly.
10) MAITENANCE AND SCRAPPING
Maintenance operations on the system must be carried out by
qualified personnel only. Dispose of the materials making up the
system and its packing according to the relevant laws in force.
