General Description
The bellswipe Card Access System is a high quality security product for
controllingaccesstoofficesandapartmentsusingprovenMagstripetechnology.
ABellswipereadershouldbeinstalledadjacenttothebuildingentrance,andthe
door fitted with an electric lock release or magnetic lock. Authorised personnel
are each issued with an individual BellSwipe card. Swiping a valid card through
the reader will result in the door being released for a few seconds. A Time-clock
may be used to restrict access to certain card holders to specific times of the day
or week.
Basic Operation
When a valid user card is swiped through the reader the green LED illuminates
and the electric lock release operates for a predetermined time (1-250 seconds).
If an invalid card is swiped the red LED illuminates for 1 second and the lock
release does not operate. A card may be invalid either because it has not been
enabled on the system or its use has been restricted to another time period.
Swiping a Card

Time-restricted access (Staff / Executive operation)
Each card may be individually (or as a group) programmed to operate during a
restrictedtimeperiodonly.This time period can be determined by a time-clock or
manually via a key switch.
Typically this feature can be used to provide ‘Executive access’ (no restriction)
and ‘Staff access’ (restricted to Zone 1 or 2 time periods). Time Zones 1 and 2
can also operate as non -overlapping ‘shifts’ for two groups of workers.
Exit Facility
The Exit facility enables the lock release to operate directly from a push-button
for the predetermined lock duration. Typically this is used to allow personnel to
freely exit through the controlled door. The facility may also be used for a
Fireman’s key-switch, or to interface with other security products such as a Door
Entry Telephone system.
Integrated Power Supply with optional battery backup
TheCR500 ControlUnit ismountedin aruggedsteelenclosurecomplete withan
integral power supply. This cost-effective approach significantly reduces the
number of system components and the amount of cabling. There is a provision
for an optional 12V 2AH battery which will maintain the system operation in the
event of a mains power failure.

Important Safety Information
The CR500 Control Unit and any other mains-powered equipment (e.g., a Time-
Clock) must be placed in a protected indoor environment, close to a 240V
electrical supply, e.g. an electrical cupboard. Connections to the 240V AC mains
supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician or similar competent person,
and made in accordance with accepted safety practices.
Atwo-pole switch (as provided by a Consumer Unit or Switch-Fuse) must be
included to isolate both Live and Neutral during Installation or Maintenance. The
circuit must be protected by a current limiting fuse or other device with a
maximum rating of 5A. A good mains safety earth must be connected to the
CR500.
The CR500 internal transformer is protected by a fuse; always replace this with
the correct type and rating:
T100mA 250V (20mmglassfuse,100mA, 250V, Time delay, approved
to BS EN 60127 or equivalent.)
Mains Cables
Use only mains cable to BS6004, BS6500, or equivalent, within the following
specified limits:
Minimum Maximum
Conductor Diameter 1.0 mm (0.75 mm2)2.25 mm (4 mm2)
Cable Diameter 4.0 mm 8.0 mm

CR500 Control Unit
Description
TheControllerPCBis housed in a strong steel enclosure. Security can be further
enhanced by installing the controller in a secured area. This arrangement
provides a superior level of security when compared to standalone card reader
/controllerunitsonthemarketwhereaccessmaybeattainedbyvandalismofthe
card reader. With a correctly installed bellswipe system this is impossible.
Due to the presence of mains voltages the lid of the CR500 should only be
removed by qualified personnel. It should not normally be necessary to open the
lid once the unit has been wired up. All card management and setup operations
can be performed at the Card Reader.
Fitting
The enclosure contains a number of alternative mounting and conduit holes for
easy installation. For safety reasons, use the holes provided; do not drill or
modify the enclosure in any way. The unit should be wall-mounted in a
protected indoor environment. See also “Important Safety Information”.
When removing or replacing the lid, for convenience, the earth lead may be
temporarily disconnected from the spade connector. Take care not to damage or
trap this earth lead and always ensure that it is correctly replaced.

Electric Lock Release
When installing lock releases please allow a little movement on the door as
operation will be impaired if fitted too tight.
The CR500 Control unit provides two alternative pairs of connections for direct
connection of an electric lock release: -
‘FAIL SECR’: Use these connections for ‘Fail-Secure’ lock releases. These
devices require power to release the lock and will secure the door in the event of
power failure. These are the most commonly used lock releases.
‘FAIL SAFE’: Use these connections for ‘Fail-Safe’ lock releases and magnetic
locks. Both of these devices require continuous power to lock the door and will
release the door if power fails.

Isolated Lock Relay Contact
An isolated relay contact has been provided to interface with non-standard locks
and other devices. The load must not be rated above 1A AC or DC. Inductive
loads must have separate suppression for EMI.
Alternativelythe contact can be used totrigger or interface with other equipment;
for example, to switch on a surveillance camera, trigger a carpark gate, or give
an audible indication.

13
High Current Lock Releases
For a lock release or magnetic lock rated higher than 0.5A an additional power
supply will be required. Above 1A a relay must be used to interface with the
CR500 Control unit. For locks in the range 0.5 -1A refer to the previous section.
The relay contacts or the lock-release must be fitted with a suitable suppression
device to prevent voltage transient and electromagnetic interference being
generated by the coil of the lock release (refer to the manufacturer for further
advice).
Consideration should be given to the problem of a voltage drop at the lock
release. Please refer to the manufacturer of the particular lock release for
information on suitable cable length versus thickness and power supply rating.

Time Restricted Access
The CR500 Control unit has a pair of terminals marked ‘TIME’ which can be
connected to an external Time Clock or Key switch to control time-restricted
access. Any switch contact must be fully isolated (i.e. voltage-free) Refer to
‘Optional components’ at the front of this manual for a suitable Time Clock.
Cards may be programmed to operate as follows:
Access TIME switch status Usage
No Restriction -Executive
Zone 1 Contact closed Staff (shift 1)
Zone 2 Contact open Staff (shift 2)
Refer to ‘ENABLE CARD’ or ‘ENABLE GROUP’ to set a card’s time zone.
Exit Facility
The terminals marked ‘EXIT’ may be connected to an external push-button (e.g.
an M5077 switch) for ‘push to exit’ operation. Momentarily operating this button
will directly operate the lock release for the programmed duration.
AlternativelytheinputmaybeusedwithaFireman’soverrideswitchwhichshould
be of the normally open type. If this feature is to be used it is important that the
lock release be of the continuously rated design.
Ingeneral,a switch connected to the ‘EXIT’terminalsshouldbefully isolated, i.e.
voltage-free.
