4 BC610 Installation and User manual
This is the BC610
BC610 is a 500 card capacity compact card reader designed
for one door. All programming is done from the keypad.
How does the card reader work?
BC610 can be used in different ways depending on the
security requirements. If no external equipment (time clocks,
push buttons etc.) is connected, card and common code can be
used 24 hours a day. If no common code is programmed the
card reader will only accept cards.
Timing security levels
Using external time clocks, a number of security levels can be
set up. The security level determines what action is required
to open the door. The following security levels exist:
•Unlocked door.
•Common code. A four-digit code (common to all users) is
required to open the door. The common code is
programmed by the person responsible for the card reader.
•Card. The visitor must swipe his card to open the door.
•Card + PIN. The visitor must swipe his card and enter a
personal code to open the door. The card holder can
choose/change his or her personal code on the keypad.
•Toggle function. Used together with current security level,
i.e. Card, Common code or Card + PIN. When the
card/code is swiped/entered the first time the door is
opened and remains unlocked until the card/code is
swiped/entered the next time.
•Card reader disconnected. The card reader is completely
disconnected. Only exit request works.

BC610 Installation and User manual 5
Examples of timing security levels,
During office hours, when there are people in the premises,
the security level may not need to be so high: Unlocked door
or Common code are probably suitable levels.
During lunch time, the level may be raised to Card.
The remaining time, i.e. evenings, nights and weekends, Card
+ PIN is a suitable security level.
The Toggle function can be used in premises where a person
is responsible during certain hours, e.g. a class-room or a
loading bay door.
In a class-room, the teacher can open the door, which remains
open until he or she locks the door. The pupils may come in
and out without having cards or common code.
Duress
BC610 is equipped with a duress output. If a visitor is forced
to open the door under threat, he or she may enter a special
code that activates an alarm.
Note! Duress is only applicable during the Card + PIN
security level.

6 BC610 Installation and User manual
Installing the card reader
Install the card reader at a height of 120–140 cm (from the
floor to the bottom edge of the card reader). To cater for
disabled persons, a suitable height is approximately 95 cm.
To install the card reader:
1Open the card reader with the key supplied. The lock is
located on the underside of the reader.
2Fasten the back plate against the wall, using three screws
according to the illustration below. Seal the screw and
cable holes with sealant if the unit is externally mounted.
3Make sure the back plate is earthed. Use a separate cable
to the earthing point. Make sure the front and back plate
are connected with the internal strap.
4Fit the front and check that the card reader is securely
fastened.

BC610 Installation and User manual 7
How to select connecting cables
It is important to use cables with the correct conductor gauge,
to keep the voltage drop in the cables as low as possible.
•12 volt supplies. A 12 V electric locking device generally
needs at least 11 V to work properly, so the voltage at the
card reader should never be less than 11 V.
•24 volt supplies. A 24 V electric locking device generally
needs at least 21 V to work properly, so the voltage at the
card reader should never be less than 21 V.
The recommended gauge (cross-sectional area) of the
conductor depends on the distance between the power supply
and the card reader, and on the load at the card reader.
The table below is for a Bewacard 610 with an electric
release. The total load is 300 mA at 24 V or 600 mA at 12 V.
