1. Introduction
This document contains description and “Castle” controller installation and operation instructions.
“Castle” EP2 controller is designed to work as part of access control systems (ACS) “Castle”.
Each controller is able to control the turnstile, electromechanical wicket, one or two doors and
barrier gates or gates in a simplied mode.
Each controller reacts immediately (smart card reading, pushed button etc).
This feature is completely not depended on the controller number, communication
quality, personnel quantity or length of the commutation line.
Whether communicating with the server system or not, the controller decides to permit or deny
access on their own, basing on the key database and access modes stored in the controller non-
volatile memory.
All registered events are stored in non-volatile memory of the controller. Date and time of the event
are recorded basing on the embedded real-time clock testimony. If connection to the server exists,
events are automatically transferred to the ACS server.
This ensures maximum system reliability, controller independence from the server and speed of its
response to events.
“Castle” controller is certied to meet the next requirement documents:
•GOST R 51241-2008. Access control units and systems. Classication. General technical
requirements. Test methods.
•GOST R 50009-2000. Electromagnetic compatibility of technical equipment. Components of
intruder alarm systems. Requirement and test methods.
•GOST R 51317.6.1-99 (MEK 61000-6-1-97). Electromagnetic compatibility of technical
equipment. Immunity of technical equipment intended for use in residential, commercial and
light-industry environments. Requirements and test methods.
•GOST R 51317.6.3-99 (SISPR/MEK 61000-6-3-96). Electromagnetic compatibility of technical
equipment. Emission from technical equipment intended for use in residential, commercial
and light-industry environments. Limits and test methods.
Conformity certicate No. .RU.ME63.B03297.
The manufacturer is responsible for the accuracy of the documentation and after any hardware and
software revisions is obliged to add an information into the manuals.
The manufacturer does not guarantee product performance in the non-observance
of the installation rules and operation described herein.

5. Controller functioning as ASC “Castle”
EP2“Castle” controller is designed to work as part of a network ASC“Castle”, operating the
connected execution devices. Controllers are connected to server via Ethernet line.
EP2 controller can manage one of the following set of execution devices:
1. One door equipped with enter and exit readers.
2. Two doors equipped with reader and exit request button. Doors should be located not more
than 60m from the controller, which is limited by the locks’voltage drop.
3. Electomechanical gate of any conguration.
4. Employers timesheet registration without any execution devices connection.
Up to two readers with Wiegand 26/34 or Touch Memory input interface can be connected to the
controller as an identication equipment. Also there’s a availability to connect code panel reader.
5.1. Conguration: “Registration board”
This conguration is used for registration of employers arrivals and departures without using any
execution devices.
When locating the pass card to the reader, the system automatically records the cardholders pass to
enter or exit.
Pic2. Connecting the controller in“Registration board”conguration.
To work in this conguration the controller is connected to the power supply, commutation line
and two readers. One reader is used for work place arrivals registration, the other — for departures.

5.2. Conguration: “Turnstile”
In this conguration the controller is commutated with:
• Turnstile;
