INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The AUTONOMOUS proximity reader can control up to 400 cards.
Each of these cards, which operate without any type of maintenance, is
equipped with a unique electronic code (there are no two cards with the
same code).
FERMAX Desre readers include an encryption system to guarantee the
security of the installation (please consult with the Technical Service).
Reader encryption is done by the distributor and the following equipment
is necessary for you, as the installer, to encrypt the identiers (cards
and key fobs):
- PC with Desre Security Programmer software.
- Desktop programmer to encrypt readers, encrypt cards and read
card identiers.Part number F04534.
- Desktop reader to read the card identiers.Reference F04533.
Once activated, you can use them to open the relevant access door. To
this end, it is simply necessary to swipe (momentarily approximate) the
card to the proximity reader.
As it operates on a radio frequency, no physical contact is necessary,
meaning you can even swipe the card without taking it out of your wallet.
The maximum reading distance is 2 cm.
For more details on encryption, see manual 970210 Desre Software.
The proximity reader has various light indicators, the meaning of which
is the following:

1. Set up one of the cards as a MASTER card. This card cannot be
used as a personal card.
2. Swipe the card by the reader.
3. The reader is now activated and is ready to operate once the per-
sonal cards are set up.
Master card reset
If you do lose the MASTER card or if you wish to change it, you
must follow the steps (we recommend that this work is carried out by
specialised personnel).

1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Press and hold the Exit Button (if installed) or make a shortcut
between <<B>> and <<->> terminals on the reader controller.
Then power on.
3. The reader goes into «Changing MASTER Card Mode». All the
reader’s indicators start to ash for 5 seconds.
Any card swiped by the reader during this time will be taken to be the
new MASTER card.
The card swiped does not have to be a card already registered as
a personal card.
If the card swiped is that already set up as the MASTER two things
may occur:
o If the output button remains activated it will be deleted.
o If the output button is not activated, the reader will remain con-
gured with its factory settings: without a Master, without user
cards and with the default times set.
It will be clear that the Master card and all the data has been deleted
as the green indicator led will continuously ash until the power supply
is disconnected.
Once reconnected, the reader will be deactivated, that is awaiting the
setup of a new MASTER card.
NOTE: The reader will return to normal mode from any programming
mode if a card has not been presented within 30 seconds.

Ensure the code for each of the cards is kept in a safe place for
future reference.
3. Swipe the MASTER card again once nished, until the indicators
show «Normal Mode» status.
A «beep» indicates that the card has been set up correctly. Alternatively
a double beep will indicate that it was already active or that the card
is defective.
If you attempt to activate more than 400 cards the system will indicate
«overload» (the «+» indicator will ash for 5 seconds).
