CEStronics.

For your safety
6 Access Point
Only use the proper tools to open the Access Point.
Do not drop the Access Point on the floor, on hard surfaces or
on hard objects.
Use surge arresters to avoid damage to your Access Point
through overvoltage, for example by lightning.
Protect the electronic components of the Access Point against
water and other liquids.
The Access Point contains highly sensitive electronic parts
that may be damaged or destroyed through static charges.
Do not disassemble the Access Point in rooms with built up
static charge. Ensure potential equalization when working on
the Access Point to remove any static charge.
Do not use the Access Point in corrosive atmospheres
(chlorine, ammonia, lime water).
Only use the Access Point in rooms in which the humidity
does not exceed 95 %.
Do not use the Access Point in rooms with a high level of dust
formation.
Do not use the Access Point near sources of heat.
Do not expose the Access Point to temperatures below 0 °C
or above +40 °C.
Danger of malfunctions
Do not cover the housing of the Access Point with any
metallic material.
Satisfy yourself when installing the Access Point that both the
Access Point and all other system components are in perfect
working order. Malfunctions of the Access Point and other
system components may compromise the functioning of the
entire system.
If necessary, use uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems
to ensure an uninterrupted operation of your locking system.

Introduction
10 Access Point
Introduction
Description
The Access Point is part of the OMEGA ACTIVE system. It
establishes the connection between the OMEGA ACTIVE locking
devices and the overall control centre via a radio frequency
(RF) link. This overall control centre is a commercial PC.
The Access Point is connected with the control centre via an
RJ45-Ethernet cable (10/100 Mbit). The Access Point is thus
the network interface of the system.
The desired access authorizations are created in the control
centre and transmitted via the Ethernet to the Access Points.
The Access Points then transmit the authorizations over the RF
link to the locking devices.
In return, the log data are retrieved from the cylinders and
then fed back to the control centre via the Ethernet.
The wide range of the Access Points allows a wireless
deployment of locking cylinders and wall terminals. No further
installation work on your doors is required.
If you use OMEGA ACTIVE locking media with a push-button,
you can use the push-button to control the relay contact in the
Access Point. The relay contact is directly controlled with this
button.

A wireless system always comprises a PC, the
OMEGA ACTIVE Client software, a number of Access
Points for data exchange and at least one locking
device.

Introduction
Access Point 11
Other features of the Access Point:
Integrated 868 MHz RF transceiver.
The maximum range for reading locking devices inside of
buildings is 25 m without and 40 m with the optional
additional antenna.
Power supply of the Access Point with the supplied power
pack. No other power supplies are permitted.
Two colour LEDs at the Ethernet connection for visual
signalization of data traffic.
Available accessories for the Access Point:
D-LAN™ adapter (System Powerline, to implement IP
networks using the 230 V power network). This option
makes it possible to transmit the network signal via the
230 V power network using suitable adapters. This means
that no separate network cables must be installed.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) adapter. To reduce the
installation expense and increase the failure prevention you
can supply the Access Point with power via the network
interface. This eliminates the need to use the plug-in power
supply.
Antenna retrofit kit to increase the range for reading locking
devices to a maximum of 40 m.

The stated reading ranges of 25 m, and 40 m
respectively, cannot be guaranteed as the reading
range depends on the local building conditions.
CEStronics recommends to have your building
situation checked by your professional CEStronics
partner.

For further information on the available options,
please contact your CEStronics partner.

Ensure that the permissible RF ranges are observed:
Checking the range
The maximum range for reading locking devices inside of
buildings is 25 m without and 40 m with the additional
antenna. The RF range may vary significantly depending on
the local building situation. See also Note of page 11.

Introduction
18 Access Point
The optional RF-TRACE-MASTER transponder card allows you to
check the quality of the radio frequency (RF) link between the
OMEGA server and your locking devices.
The RF-TRACE-MASTER triggers the following signals of your
locking devices:
Flashing green LED: strong RF link
Flashing red LED: faulty RF link
Alternately or simultaneously flashing red and green LEDs:
weak RF link.

Introduction
Access Point 19
To verify the quality of the RF link to your locking devices,
proceed as follows:
Hold the RF-TRACE-MASTER for about two seconds in front of
your locking cylinder or wall terminal.
The function is performed immediately.
If the green LED of your locking cylinder or wall terminal
flashes, the RF link is OK.
If the red LED of your locking cylinder or wall terminal
flashes, the RF link is not OK and must be checked.
If the red and the green LEDs flash alternately or
simultaneously, the RF link is weak and should be checked to
ensure full functionality and reliability.
