WIRELESS ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM ACD-148
ACD-148 is an access control system which uses a quartz radiocontrol as a per-
sonal identification device.
The radiocontrol CARDIN mod. S48 is specifically used in the ACD-148 system as
its principal characteristic is the user code which is randomly created and stored
in a non-volatile memory inside the radiocontrol itself.
Nobody, not even the owner of the specific device, is able to discover his/her own
code nor are they able to reproduce another identical code.
The central unit of the ACD-148 is based on a CPU which is able to control up 2000
codes referring to 4 different entrances and exits which can also be subdivided
into 4 different zones.
The following types of operation are possible for each code:
1. MEMORISATION OF A NEW USER CODE
2. MODIFYING THE USER’S PERSONAL DETAILS
2. CODE ENABLING/DISABLING
3. DISTINCT CODE ENABLING/DISABLING FOR EACH
OF THE 4 DIFFERENT ENTRANCES AND EXITS
4. CODE DELETION
All these operations can be carried out on site, if the operator is in possession of
the encoded access key, or remote access is available via a terminal or personal
computer network.
The device is equipped with an internal random code generator and with an inter-
face device which allows the codes to be transferred to the transmitter via direct
coupling.
The codes and user details are stored in non-volatile memory and therefore are
maintained even during blackouts.
For this reason there is also an erasing command for all the codes maintained in
memory.
The ACD-148 can be operated both on site or via the use of a terminal and the
principal operations can be carried out using either of these solutions. To complete
the user details however a terminal or personal computer is required.
The liquid crystal display allows you to follow all the operations performed by the
device and verify the completion of each action.
When an enabled code is received one of the 4 internal relays, depending on which
radio control channel has received the signal, is activated and the following infor-
mation is indicated on the display.
- User number
- Activated channel
- Date and time of activation
If a code is used which is not present in memory a warning message will ap-
pear on the display, even if the code is compatible with the S48 handshaking
procedure, but the relative channel will not be activated.
The following operations are possible via the serial connection:
- modifying the system configuration parameters, i.e. date,time,baud rate,password
etc.;
29
After an enabled user has been recognised the corresponding relay is activated.
The relay activation time, i.e. the time during which the normally open contact
remains closed can be chosen.
The relay default time is 500 mS. Choosing option 3 from menu level C will allow
you to modify this time
The following message appears on the screen:
CURRENT DELAY: 500 mS
ARE YOU SURE? [Y/N] >>
Choosing N the following message will appear
DELAYS AVAILABLE
1. [500 mS ]
2. [1 Sec. ]
3. [2 Sec. ]
4. [4 Sec. ]
ENTER [ 1- 4 ] >>>
If you choose option 2 the memorised delay time will be 1 second, i.e. the relay
will be released 1 second after it has been activated.
To cancel the operation and maintain the current delay time press the <ESC>
key.
C4. Output activation
The relay in output can be activated directly by choosing option 4 from menu level
C. The following message appears on the screen:
SELECT THE OUTPUT TO BE ACTIVATED
1. Relay1 [ CHA ]
2. Relay2 [ CHB ]
3. Relay3 [ CHC ]
4. Relay4 [ CHD ]
5. END
ENTER >>>
The chosen relay will be activated immediately and will be released after the delay
time set in C3
D. Information lists
Choosing option 4 (print utilities) from the main menu you enter the menu LIST.
The following menu appears on the screen:

5
28
- inserting or modifying user details;
- cancelling the user memory or the events buffer memory;
- modifying the relay drop-out delay time;
- displaying a complete list of the systems user’s both enabled and disabled and
the display of information regarding the last transition.
At the back of the appliance there are 4 dip-switches allowing zone partitioning
(see fig.6 page 18) e.g. these can allow programming in specific time bands by
connecting an external timer or signal reception only when the user is located
within the range of a detector.

INSTALLATION
Each appliance is provided internally with a 14-way binary dip-switch, the combi-
nation of which must correspond to the combination set on the two dip-switches
located in the access key (see fig.1 page 6).
If the two combinations correspond it will be possible to carry on with the installa-
tion procedure otherwise the control panel buttons will remain inoperable.
To personalise the access combination proceed as follows:
1. Open the container so as to gain access to the upper pcb card;
2. Undo the four screws holding the pcb card in place, remove the card and turn
it over, the dip-switch is located on the underside of the card;
3. Set the desired combination on the dip-switch and then set the corresponding
combination on the two serial access keys supplied with the kit;
4. Replace the pcb card and close the container.
Switch on the power either by connecting the device to the mains or by connecting
the stand-by battery and then verify the correct functioning of the two serial access
keys by inserting them into the slot on the front panel. The led Key-Enabled will
light up indicating that the key has been accepted.
If the led fails to light up but the code combinations on the ACD-148 and the ac-
cess keys are the same contact your dealer.
B1.1 ENTER TRANSMITTER CODE [ 10 characters]:
At this point activate the transmitter which is to be memorised and read the code
number which appears on the display of the device CARDIN ACD 248.
E.g.: CODE
1F451B207C
Type the code into the terminal only using uppercase letter and then press < CR
>
If the code is wrong (the code also carries redundant information to facilitate the
checksum), the following message appears on the screen:
!! CODE WRONG !! - RETYPE ? [ Y/N ]>>
If the answer Y is given you go back to menu level B1.1 otherwise you go back to
menu level B.
If the introduced code is correct but already present in memory the following mes-
sage appears on the screen:
!! CODE ALREADY STORED !!
TYPE <ESC> to EXIT
at this point you will have to create another random code and then reprogram the
transmitter
If the code is accepted the system asks:
TYPE USER NAME [ max 12 char ]>>
after typing the name and confirming the choice the following message appears
on the screen:
CODE #### ** STORED !! ** >> ENABLE ALL CHANNELS ? [ Y/N ] >>Y
If you have a 2 channel transmitter or if you don’t want to enable all the channels,
answer no, and the following message will appear:
B1.2 - TYPE < CR > to CONFIRM , < SPACE > to TOGGLE
CHA [ Y/N ] Y
Enable each channel separately by alternating between Y and N as required using
the < SPACE BAR > and confirm the choice by pressing < CR >.
The following message will then appear on the screen:
ARE YOU SURE? [Y/N] >>
Answer Y to escape or N to return to menu level B1.2
To check whether the operation was carried out correctly; return to menu level B
and choose option 8 (enabled users list). If all is well the code should appear in
the list.

ARE YOU SURE ? Y
ENABLING AND DISABLING CHANNELS IN DIFFERENT ZONES
By means of the 4 way dip-switch located inside the container towards the rear of
the p.c.b card (see fig.6) it is possible to partition the enabled users in four distinct
zones.
Each channel of the radiocontrol transmitter has its own enabling input through
which it is possible to control the corresponding relay in output.
CHANNEL CORRESPONDENCE TABLE
TX Channel Terminal - relay N° Dip N° Enable control terminal input
A 13 - 14 1 15 - 17
B 11 - 12 2 16 - 17
C 9 - 10 3 18 - 20
D 7 - 8 4 19 - 20
Each external control device (timer, active infrared sensor, metallic mass detector
etc.) must be connected to the input binding posts in such a way so as to short
circuit the normally open contact (see fig.6):
To activate the external device move the Dip-switch of the corresponding channel
to the “OFF” position (see the above table).
