Section 4: Basic Operations
Overview
To gain entry to an area secured by an Accessor,
a user enters an access code at the Accessor. If
the code is valid, access is permitted to the key
compartment which is used to hold a door key,
card or latch. This access is recorded in the
Accessor’smemorylogwhich maybedownloaded
toaPCorPalmOrganizerusingtheoptionalACE™
software & serial cable. (ACE may be downloaded
for free at our web site, engsolinc.com.)

Tamper Lockout
Tamper Lockout inhibits unauthorized code
“guessing” by ignoring keypresses after detecting
multiple invalid codes being entered.
The unit will not accept any codes for 30 seconds
if an invalid code is entered 3 or more times in a
row.
While in Tamper Lockout all key presses will be
indicated by a beep and a red LED.
Accessing the Serial Connector
The serial connector is located in the key
compartment, and is used for programming and
retrievinglogsbyaPCorPalmOrganizer.Togain
