transponder reader LCN-ULT
Universal transponder reader
The LCN-ULT is a robust, universal transponder reader for passive transponders, to
intregate in the LCN-Bus. The LCN-ULT can read out the most transponders built into car
keys with electronic immobilizers, as well as many transponders and cards from access
control systems, time recording systems and alarm systems, mechatronical lock cylinders
and locks. Over LCN, allowance can be granted for example for, access permission for
electronical locked doors or other building functions can be controlled. The LCN-ULT
also reads out the LCN transponder cards LCN-ZTK,
LCN-ZTS and LCN-AT2, Junghans watch with
transponder, as well as the transponder systems EM
(H4001, -4002, -4102, -4402, -4050, -4150, -4450),
Megamos, ATMEL, Philips, Sokymat Nova, Texas
Instruments, Temic and NXP.

Installation
The transponder is supplied completely weatherproof with a 5 metre long shedded
connecting cable. Because of this, it can be installed outdoors. The hole pitch corresponds
to fixing standards (cavity wall box, outside switches, garage openers). The reader shows
its readiness for operation with its permanently lit LED. This light can be adjusted with the
command ”LED control” (brighter/darker and red/blue).
Minimum distance between two LCN-ULT transponder readers ®to avoid them from
interfering with each other, a possible distance of 75cm should be kept between each
LCN-ULT.
Connection
LCN-ULT can be connected either directly to the I-port of
an LCN module or extended up to a distance of 50m, by using additional LCN-IV´s - see
also installation guide LCN-IV.
The operation with further I-port peripheries with bidirectional communication (e.g.
LCN-GT4D, -GT10D or IOS-peripheries) is not permitted! Operating the LCN-IV as pulse
counter / counter input, is not possible!
The LCN-ULT is suitable for connecting to the I-port of all LCN modules with firmware
100A06 (Oct. 2006) or after. The

Attaching the reading head
Please make sure when tightening both of the screws with the supplied tool, that the
tightening torque isn´t too high. This applies especially when using an electrical screwdiver.
Too much force can damage the plastic housing!
Usage in or on metal surfaces
The opening in the metal surfaces should be at least 60 mm, otherwise the metal could
reduce the reception range drastically. In some cases the reading function can be
completely distorted.
A damage to the system is not possible through this, the LCN-ULT recognises such
influences and reduces the transmitting power automatically.
When a distinctive range reduction occurs, please try the function with the reading head
away form its fixing point. should the required reading range then be achieved, simply
increase the distance to the surrounding metal surfaces.
Preparing for operation / learning new transponder types with an LCN-ULT
The ready to use reading head lights up blue permanently. When first delivered, the LCN-
ULT will not recognise any transponders. When the master card is held shortly in front of the
reader, the LED will flash slowly in blue. Remove the master card after this, the “learn
mode”- is activated. Now the chosen transponder or car key is held in front of the reader,
until the blue LED light stops flashing and lights up permanently again. Through this, the
LCN-ULT

communication parameter of this transponder type (transponder family), has been learnt in
the LCN-ULT. After this, all transponders of the same type will be recognised and their ID
numbers transferred to the I-port. The further distribution of authorizations or mappings
from building functions for single ID numbers of different transponders, is done over the
LCN Bus (transponder-codes) or in access control (LCN-GVSU).
If a master card is accidentally held too long (more than 5 sec.) in front of the card reader, it
will flash red and change into the “erase” mode. Please remove the card straight away and
wait until the transponder reader stops flashing and the blue LED lights up permanently
again. Then go back into the “learn” mode again.
Preparing for operation / learning new transponder types with several LCN-ULT´s
If there are there more than one LCN-ULT in the building, it is possible to transfer the new
transponder types over the LCN Bus. In this case, all transponder readers will learn the new
transponder types at the same time. To do this, hold the master card (as decribed above) for
a short time in front of any one of the LCN-ULT´s until the LED flashes slowly. Now hold the
card in front of the LCN-ULT once more until the blue LED flashes up in a slow rhythm. If a
card from one of the new transponder types is now held in front of the LCN-ULT, the LCN-
ULT will transfer the transponder type over the I-port to the module. The module transfers
this information to all modules within the LCN Bus. The LCN modules transfer the
information over the I-port to the other LCN-ULT´s, so they can also evaluate the new
transponder types.

Note:
If a variety of similar transponder types are being used, only one representative LCN-ULT
has to be learned. If for example, an EM H4102 and/or a HITAG 1 or HITAG S has to be
learned, the transponder reader then transfers several ID numbers from this transponder
type to the LCN Bus.
If a car key, transponder card or transponder keyring cannot be learned, you should check if
a transponder is intregated. Most of the Mercedes models have no transponders in the key,
they work with an immobilizer on an infrared base. The LCN-ULT cannot read out these
keys.
Should a new generation of transponder chips be produced, that the LCN-ULT doesn´t
know today, the transponder reader can become a new firmware update, by loading a new
software version.
Erasing single transponder types
Hold the master card in front of the transponder reader for longer than 5 seconds, until the
red LED flashes slowly. Now remove the master card again. The mode „erase single
transponder types“ is activated. Now hold the transponder card that has to be erased in
front of the transponder reader, until the red LED stops flashing and the blue LED on the
LCN-ULT lights permanently. This transponder type has now been erased from the type
storage, the ID numbers of several members in this transponder family will not be

transferred to the I-port from now on.
Note:
Even if authorizations and function mappings for ID numbers are still being registered in
the LCN module, all transponders of this erased type, will no longer be sent from the
Transponder reader and not be transffered to the LCN Bus from this LCN-ULT.
Erasing all transponder types / condition on delivery
This function will erase the complete type storage and resets the LCN-ULT into the factory
settings. The master card has to be held in front of the transponder reader for longer than
15 seconds. When the master card is recognised, the LED will flash in blue. After about 5
seconds it will flash slowly in red. After a further 10 seconds the slow flashing red will
change to a fast flashing red. The fast flashing indicates that the transponder reader mode
has changed to “preparing to ERASE ALL” . Should the complete type storage not have to
be erased, then please remove the master card and wait until the blue LED lights
permanenty again.
To carry out the removal of the complete type storage, the master card is held further
until the LED switches off completely. The switching off of the LED is an indication, that
whole type storage in the LCN-ULT has been erased (factory settings). After
completion, the LED lights up again permanently.

LCN-ULT
®
For safety reasons, this function can only be carried out directly on each single LCN-
ULT.
Transferring the command „ERASE ALL“ to other LCN-ULT´s in the LCN Bus, is not
possible!
Building installation with several LCN-ULT´s (group formation, ”commission”)
When many LCN-ULT´s are being operated within one installation, the correct master
card from each associated transponder reader must always be used for programming.
To make this management more simpler, the following possibility has been created, to
combine many LCN-ULT´s into a “group” or “ commission”.
This is possible with an order of over 5 LCN-ULT´s!
When ordering you must state, how many transponder readers and how many master
cards that have to be combined. LCN-ULT´s will then be delivered, so that all the LCN-
ULT´s can be programmed using the same master card. Even the amount of master
cards is optional. Reordering for such a commission is possible at any time. No groups
or commissions can be later formated for LCN-ULT´s that have been already delivered.
LED blue/red
The colours of the Duo-LED´s can be toggled with a command and controlled in different
brightnesses (for max. brightness, stronger power supply required). To do this, use the
command “LED control / LCN-ULT” in the LCN-PRO version 3.5 or later.

Repairs
Due to safety reasons, transponder readers and master cards build a fixed associated unit
from the manufacturer. When a master card is lost or a transponder reader is defect, then
both parts have to be sent together for repairs or replacements.
When a master card is lost, a replacement delivery is possible!
Unknown transponders / firmware updates
Should there be an unknown transponder or car key, that is not recognised from the LCN-
ULT, please send it with details about its origin, with vehicles, details over the model and
year of manufacture, for the LCN hotline to be able to analyse. In this way a firmware
update can be produced and made available as soon as possible.
