BASIC PROGRAMMING
When the AC-228 is in Programming Mode, both indicators will
turn off until programming begins. After a programming option
number is entered, the yellow indicator will blink. This shows that
the AC-228 is ready to accept the new programming data. After
the new data entry is complete, the yellow indicator will flash while
the data is being stored. The green indicator will light if the data is
accepted. The red indicator will light if any programming data is
entered incorrectly, and the command will have to be fully re-
entered.
Entering Programming Mode
The 6-digit Master Programming Code (default = 123456) is used
to enter Programming Mode.
Press: # 9 # Master Code
Master Code = the current 6-digit Master Programming Code
Exiting Programming Mode
Press: * * #
The red indicator will light after exiting Programming Mode
Note: The AC-228 will automatically exit Programming Mode after
two minutes of inactivity
Re-entering a Command After a Mistake
If the red indicator lights, signaling an incorrect entry, or an
incorrect key is pressed during programming, to clear the keypad
and re-enter the command:
Press: * 9 #
Re-entering a Command After a Mistake
If the red indicator lights, signaling an incorrect entry, or an
incorrect key is pressed during programming, to clear the keypad
and re-enter the command:
Press: * 9 #
Setting Entry Code Length Default: 4 digits
Press: 0 3 # Length #
Length = 1-6 for entry code length
Note: If the Entry Code Length is going to be changed from the factory
default of 4 digits, make this change first before programming any entry
codes.
Adding a New Entry Code
Press: 0 1 # Code # Code # Relay #
Code=The new entry code: 1-999999, depending on code length
Relay=Relay output entry code will activate:
1=Main Relay 2=Auxiliary Relay 3=Both Relays
The yellow indicator will flash quickly while the AK-3 searches its
memory for available space and duplicate entries. The green
indicator will light when the new code is stored.
If the new entry code chosen is already being used for another
entry code, the red indicator will light. A new unique code needs
to be entered.
Note: Leading zeros (zeros before the code number, i.e.0001) do not
need to be entered when programming a new code. The AC-228 will
internally add any zeros to fill digits determined by the entry code length
setting. Leading zeros will have to be entered by the user when entering
their code to gain access.
Erasing a Single Entry Code
Press: 0 2 # Code # Code #
Code=The entry code to delete
The yellow indicator will flash quickly while the AC-228 searches
its memory for the code to erase. The green indicator will light
when the code is erased.
Erasing All Entry Codes
WARNING: PERFORMING THIS COMMAND WILL REMOVE
ALL ENTRY CODES FROM THE MEMORY
Press: 9 7 # 0 0 0 0 0 0 # 0 0 0 0 0 0 #
Note: The green indicator will light while the memory is being erased. This
may take up to 15 seconds.
Changing the 6-Digit Master Programming Code
Press: 9 8 # Master Code # Master Code #
Master Code=The new 6-digit Master Programming Code
New master code: ____________
PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
There are several AC-228 programming options. For most
installations, the factory set default options are sufficient. The
keypad must be in Programming Mode to make these changes.
Programming the AC-228 To Hold the Output
The AC-228 has a programmable “Toggle Mode” available for
each relay and solid-state output. When an output is programmed
for Toggle Mode, the output alternates from OFF to ON or from
ON to OFF each time it is activated.
The rules for a toggle output are:
If the output is OFF, it will turn ON and stay on until the next
activation.
If the output is ON, it will turn OFF and stay off until the next
activation.
Typical Programming
With the unit in Program Mode, set the Auxiliary Relay (Relay #2)
output to Toggle Mode using the following keystrokes.
Press: 2 2 # 9 9 #
( 22=Programming Step; 99=Toggle Mode )
