Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the economical, yet feature efficient, RP-Series card access control
system. Each unit houses a card reader and a self-contained programmer with an LCD display. The
programmer can add, delete, change, and display card conditions for up to 1,000 cardholders.
Programmable time periods provide flexibility in defining cardholder assignments. The RP system can
control door access times and store (and display) up to 500 history transactions.
The RP system allows users currently using MicroLPM or LPM systems to incorporate the single-door
system. Any card number up to 65,000 can be activated, to the maximum of 1,000 cards (4,000
optional).
The SE versions of the RP-350 (ProTech card technology), RP-450 (Magnetic Stripe card
technology), and firmware provides the following functions:

Sense Input Features (RP Models Only)
The RP-350 and the RP-450 series of reader/PIN terminal access control systems feature additional
control of a door by implementation of egress (button, switch, push bar), panic button, open door
detection, and local and panel alarms. The RP-SE units also house the outputs that connect to the
local alarm or warning buzzer and another to the alarm panel.
Egress
The egress function allows for opening the door by means of a remote button, switch, or door push
bar. The egress is a "normally-open" contact input. In other words, the relay that keeps the door
closed (locked) is "open" in the normal state. When the egress button/bar is pushed, the relay is
engaged (loop is closed) and the door lock is opened for the pre-programmed access time limit.
When an egress occurs, the RP-SE reads the activation and a history transaction is recorded and
stored (listed as "Egress" on the printout and LCD display).
Sense (Door)
The RP-SE features a sense input that detects the state of the door. The sense input is a "normallyclosed" contact input. When the door is left open for longer than the normally programmed access
time, the contact opens (opening the circuit) and the Local Alarm output is activated (warning buzzer
or other audible alarm). The LCD will read "Please Close Door," until the door is closed. The Local
Alarm is normally cleared by closing the door. When an "open door" occurs, the RP-SE reads the
open contact and a history transaction is recorded and stored (listed as "Open" on the LCD History
display, and as "Door Left Open" on the printout). If the RP-SE is also connected to an alarm panel,
and a door is left open in excess of the programmed "normal" access time, after the local alarm has
sounded (for the programmed duration), the alarm panel will be triggered and another history
transaction will be recorded and stored (listed as "Door Open Panel" on the printout). Whenever a
"door open" reaches the alarm panel stage (exceeding the door alarm time), the alarm must be
acknowledged by swiping the programming card at the RP. Closing the door will not deactivate the
local alarm once the "door alarm time" has expired.
Panic
In case of an emergency, where an alarm is necessary to alert authorities or security personnel that a
problem exists in proximity to the door, a panic button or switch can be installed and connected to the
RP-SE. The RP-SE supports a panic button by way of a "normally-open" contact input. When the
Panic button is pushed, both the Local and the Alarm Panel output are directly activated. When the
Alarm Panel is engaged, the RP-SE reads the activation and a history transaction is recorded and
stored (listed as "Panic" on the printout and LCD history display). The alarm is acknowledged by
swiping the program card at the terminal.
Panel (Output for Alarm Panel)
The RP-SE features an output that drives an alarm output in the form of a small relay (20 mA at 12
VDC). This output, when connected to an alarm panel, will initiate the alarm (often silent) when the
Panic button is pressed; the door is forced open; the door is left open beyond the allotted time limit; or
when a duress code is entered at the RP-SE unit. The Alarm panel output is not programmed. Once
triggered, the Panel must be manually reset (or a time-out mechanism installed).
Local (Output for Local)
In addition, the RP-SE reserves an output that drives a local alarm, also in the form of a small relay
(20 mA at 12VDC). The local output, when connected to an audible alarm, will trigger the alarm when
the door is left open in excess of the allotted time, or if the door is forced open. A local alarm is
normally cleared by closing the door. The alarm activation time can be programmed from 1 to 999
seconds long. If the door is left open too long, the alarm will also continue beyond the activation time
and goes to the Panel. Swipe an active program card for acknowledgement.

2.5 Duress Code
Entering a Duress Code (see formula below) instead of the PIN-user's stored PIN will trigger the
panel output (RP models only), and a Duress history entry will be stored. The Duress Code is
accepted as a "universal PIN," even for cards not requiring a PIN (if a card does not have a stored
PIN, the default Duress Code is 0-9-1-1). The Duress Code PIN may be entered before or after
reading the valid card, The user has the option of entering either the universal Duress Code PIN or
the individual formula PIN.
Formula for PIN Code Users
Add 1 to the first two digits of your PIN Code.
Example 1
The PIN number is 1435. Add 1 to the first digit 1, which equals 2.
Then add 1 to the second digit 4, which equals 5. The duress code is
2535.
Example 2
The PIN number is 1549. Add 1 to the first digit 1, which equals 2.
Then add 1 to the second digit 5, which equals 6. The duress code is
2649.
Example 3
The PIN number is 1922. Add 1 to the first digit 1, which equals 2.
Then add 1 to the second digit 9, which equals 10 (Do not carry over
the 1 to the first digit.) The duress code is 2022.

4.2 Printing Option
The RP-SE allows downloading of cardholder transactions to a standard serial printer. The
transactions may be reported in "Real Time" (as they occur) or in a history report of up to 500
transactions.
The RP-SE provides an output for connection to a printer. A cable must be created to connect with
the printer. The cable should be 2-twisted pair, 22 AWG, stranded (Belden) 8728, or equivalent, with
a 3-pin red AMP connector (P/N 83-02074, included with unit) on one end (RP@P4) and a DB-25
male connector on the other (to serial printer). The length should not exceed 100 feet.
oute the cable following all building codes and regulations. Allow a minimum of five inches (13 cm) on
both ends for connector assembly. Strip the outer cover on each end to expose at least five inches of
shield. Assemble the cable and connectors as shown below.
RP-SE to Printer
After wiring is completed, turn the printer ON. When a printer is connected, the real time log is
enabled as soon as the RP is powered up. The printer will acknowledge communication by printing:
REAL TIME LOG ENABLED.

If the print acknowledgement does not occur, check:
1. Wiring installation with diagram
2. Is the printer online?
3. Printer configuration
4. Connectors
Each transaction is printed as it occurs and logs: the day of the week, time of transaction, terminal
designation, authorization status, and card number. Each real time transaction from the RP-SE will
print with the following information:

7.0 Installing an RP-SE Card Access Control System
The RP-SE system is comprised of a housing and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is typically
attached to a single gang, 2x4 inch box.
Mounting Procedure
1. Attach the mounting plate to the junction box, with the eared latches on top,
using two #6-32 x 1/4" flat head screws. Pull a connectorized cable through the
slot in the center of the plate.
2. Place the mounting slots on the back of the RP-SE terminal over the latches on
the mounting plate so that it hooks into the mounting plate. Connect the cable to
the header on the back of the reader.
3. Secure the RP-SE to the mounting plate by inserting the security fastener
through the hole in the bottom of the unit. Tighten the fastener using a security
screw driver (P/N 88-08002).
