ACCESS CONTROLLER
The Rex is a controller with built-in proximity card reader. It is
designed for residential and business buildings, offices, shops, etc.
In various operation modes, the controller allows access for up to
500 users (2 master cards + 500 user cards). The controller can
have 125kHz or 13.56MHz reading frequency.
As a standalone controller, the entire set-up procedure is carried
out with master card. User cards can either be registered or
deleted.
As an access controller, the entire set-up procedure is carried out
with the software.
The controller signals normal operation with flashing red and green
LED It can also be used as a Wiegand 26-bit reader, if needed.

Power supply
The controller need’s external power supply to operate. The Spider
W40 power supply is sufficient to power two controllers and two
12V electric strikes or two 12V magnetic locks (0.5A). If you will
use it as a standalone controller and low consumption electric
strike (0.25A) you can use power supply Spider W5.
Voltage drops and cable signal interferences
When you connect the controller, use cable with a diameter of at
least 0.22mm2. If the cable length exceeds 25m, use one twisted
pair of UTP cables for the positive (+) pole and one for the
negative (-) pole. The cable length between power supply and the
controller should not exceed 50m.
Take into consideration that a 0.22mm2cable has a resistance of
approximately 9 ohm per 100m. The power supply at the end of
cable should be a minimum of 9V. If you are using el. strike, it is
highly recommended that the voltage drop is calculated. At greater
distances, a thicker cable of 0.5mm2or more should be used
wherever possible.
If the load is, for example, 0.5A (with el. strike) then, on the
0.22mm2cable voltage drop will be 4.5V at 100m. For the device
with 60mA consumption, the voltage drop is 0.5V.
Reading distance depends on where the controller is installed. The
presence of metal or interferences can significantly reduce the
reading distance. DO NOT install the controller directly on metal
surfaces and/or cover it with a metal cover.
It is not recommended to install controllers closer than 30cm
from each other in any direction. Otherwise, it may result in
inaccurate readings or, indeed, in the controller not reading at
all.
For the Rex A-3-9 to comply with EMC directives (CE), you
have to put ferrite core on the cable as close to the
controller as possible, making two turns!
Inputs, outputs and environment
Inputs:
Inputs are realized with opto-isolators. The input is active, when
pulled to ground with an open collector transistor or mechanical
switch, which is connecting the input pin of the controller to the
Ground.
Outputs:
Output has a pre-installed protection diode for an inductive load. It
is also protected from current overload. The best way is to use a
0.25A el. strike or a 0.5A el. magnet, which has to be connected to
the same positive pole (+) as the controller. Connect the negative
pole (-) to the door strike output (wire 3). When the output is
active it is pulled to ground. This can be changed with function 5 –
negate output (for el. magnet).
Environment:
If the plastic housing is in a different color than black, then there is
a chance that the color will change (to some extend) in a few
months or years if exposed to direct sunlight. The controller has
IP65 protection, but you must assure good cable joints, protected
against moisture, otherwise corrosion may damage the controller.
Damage in such cases is not covered by the warranty.
Reading range:
The controller has a program algorithm that, at power start, sets
parameters based on the installation environment, so as to ensure
an optimal reading range. DO NOT install the controller directly on
metal surfaces and/or cover it with a metal cover; it may stop
working/reading. If you plan to test the controller and move it onto
different surfaces, then you have to reset it (power off/on) on each
surface.

Installation of Rex A
A special holder, provided with the controller, is needed for
attachment to the wall. Two screws are enclosed in the box. After
the holder has been affixed, put the controller onto the holder and
press –after you hear the click, it is fixed. If you want to remove
the controller from the wall, put the screwdriver under the
controller’s casing (as close as possible to the holder’s attachment
points) and turn it gently.
Installation holder for A box.
AS A STANDALONE CONTROLLER
The entire set-up procedure is carried out with the master card.
You can register two master cards.
The master cards cannot be replaced or duplicated. After
registration the master cards should always be kept in a
secure place. You cannot change any setting without them
and neither can we. Keep that in mind when storing the
master cards.
Programming with the master card
First connection to the power supply and registration of the
master cards:
Turn the power supply on (2 beeps indicate power on). One by one
approach two cards you will use as a master cards (3 beeps
indicate a successful registration). The first two cards registered
become master cards. All the other cards will be registered as
users (user cards). You can register only one master card if you
approach the same card twice.
Usage of master card:
If you hold the master card in front of the controller, every 2
seconds a double beep is heard. The number of double beeps
indicates the programming function.

Description of programming functions
Function 1) User cards
Register or delete user cards. With a registered card, output (O0,
wire 3) for an el. strike is triggered for the time set in the function
2. In the controller, registered cards are arranged in order of their
registration. Every registered card is saved to its own position.
Register user card with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 1 double beep.
Within a period of three seconds approach a user card. You can
register more cards at once, if you approach them one by one. The
user card is now registered and with it, you can open output on the
controller. If the card has already been registered, it is now deleted
and its position is now empty. Next registered card will take the
first available position on the list or position of the deleted card.
When you have register/deleted all of the cards, wait until the
controller confirms it with double beep. To delete a lost user card,
you must maintain a list of registered cards, arranged in order of
registrations (positions).
Function 2) Pulse time/ Duration of active output or toggle
mode
Set the duration of active output/ the time in which you can open
the door or set output to toggle mode. Toggle mode means, if a
user card is registered, output will remain opened (if it was closed)
or closed (if it was open) till next registration. The time can be set
in seconds or minutes. Switching time from seconds to minutes and
back, can be adjusted by using the function 15.
Set the duration of active output with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 2 double beeps. The
controller will start to beep every second. Each beep indicates 1
second or 1 minute of active output. Duration of active output can
be max. 120 seconds or 60 minutes. When you hear the required
number of beeps, approach a user card for confirmation.
Set toggle mode with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 2 double beeps.
Approach a user card before the first beep. Toggle mode is
selected.
Function 3) Door status switch input
Set the time till pre-alarm / time in which the door can stay open,
without triggering the pre-alarm and consequently the alarm. This
function is used when the door status switch on el. strike is
connected to Input0/I0/wire 5 on the controller. The input is
normally opened (NO) by default. It can be changed to normally
closed (NC) by using the function 15. The time can be set in
seconds or minutes. Switching time from seconds to minutes and
back, can be adjusted by using the function 15.
Set the time till pre-alarm with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 3 double beeps. The
controller will start to beep every second. Each beep indicates 1
second or 1 minute till pre-alarm. Duration of the time till pre-
alarm can be max. 120 seconds or 60 minutes. When you hear the
required number of beeps, approach a user card for confirmation.
Function 4) Pre-alarm and alarm
Set the pre-alarm time. This is the time in which the controller,
with short beeps, alerts you that the door was left open. If you
don’t close the door in the pre-alarm time, the alarm will be
triggered and signaled with long beeps by the controller. The time
can be set in seconds or minutes. Switching time from seconds to
minutes and back, can be adjusted by using the function 15.
Set the pre-alarm time with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 4 double beeps. The
controller will start to beep every second. Each beep indicates 1
second or 1 minute of the pre-alarm time. Duration of the pre-
alarm time can be max. 120 seconds or 60 minutes. When you
hear the required number of beeps, approach a user card for
confirmation.
Function 5) Negate / Switch output state
This function is used, when you connect an electric strike or electric
magnet which needs power supply to remain in locked state.
Switch output state with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 5 double beeps.
Within a period of three seconds approach a user card. The output
state will be switched from the current one.

Function 6) Delete a lost card
Delete the next card on the list. Use this function if you lost a card
and you wish to delete it from the controller. In order to use this
function you must maintain a list of registered cards, arranged by
order of registrations so that you can find the card, which was
registered before the lost one.
Delete a lost card with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 6 double beeps.
Within a period of three seconds approach the user card, which was
registered before the lost one. This will delete the lost user card.
Next registered card will take the position of a deleted card.
Function 7) Delete a lost card
Delete the previous card on the list. Use this function if you lost a
card and you wish to delete it from the controller. In order to use
this function you must maintain a list of registered cards, arranged
by order of registrations so that you can find the card, which was
registered after the lost one.
Delete a lost card with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 7 double beeps.
Within a period of three seconds approach the user card, which was
registered after the lost one. This will delete the lost user card.
Next registered card will take the position of a deleted card.
Function 9) Switch to Wiegand 26-bit, table reader, access
controller or back to standalone controller
Switch the controller to a Wiegand 26-bit reader, a table reader or
an access controller. Table reader sends a card number through
RS485. To change the controller back to a standalone controller
from an access controller, you need to make a “brainwash”with
the JantarV7 JantarV7, Codeks or Codeks Device Manager
software.
Switch with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 9 double beeps. The
controller will start to beep every second. Each beep presents a
different function, which is selected with a user card:
Standalone controller –Approach a user card before 1 beep.
Wiegand 26-bit reader –Approach a user card after 1 beep.
Access controller –Approach a user card after 4 beeps.
Table reader –Approach a user card after 8 beeps.
Function 13) Delete all
Reset/ delete all data to default.
Delete all with master card:
Approach the master card and remove it after 13 double beeps.
The controller will start to beep every second. Approach a user card
after three beeps.
Delete all with the Codeks Device Manager program:
Set the Rex to the default settings by using the Codeks Device
Manager program. Connect the Rex via RS485 communication line
to the Spider (communication converter, USB or NET). Connect the
Spider to the computer. In Codeks Device Manager, find the device
and perform the "Brain Wash" function which sets the device to its
default settings.

AS AN ACCESS CONTROLLER
As an access controller, it is intended for controlling entries, exits
and passes of users in the system and controlling sliding doors,
ramp, el. strike, turning alarm on/off… It needs to be set with V7,
BLOCKER or CODEKS software.
The controller switches to access controller when tables are
sent by the software or when it is set to mode 4 with
function 9. Change the controller’s address from 255 to any
number between 1 and 254. If you have more controllers on
the communication line, don’t duplicate addresses. Add
them one by one on the communication line, because every
controller has address 255 by default.
Communication
Connect the controller to the computer, with one of the power
supplies, with communication converter, from the Spider family:
Spider W5-USB, Spider W5-NET, Spider W40+NET.
The RS485 communication bus is used between the controllers and
Jantar software. Up to 128 controllers can be lined up into one
communication line. The maximum length of the communication
line is 1000 cable meters. It is recommended that you use an FTP
or S-FTP cable. Only a serial connection of controllers in a single
communication line is allowed. Star (parallel) connection is not
allowed.
All shields of S-FTP cables must be wired together and at one
point connected to the earth. Individual connections to the earth
are not allowed. Do not connect the shield of the cable to the
ground of the controller.
In the event of problems in communication, a termination
resistor needs to be added. We recommend using 120 Ohm
resistors on each side of the cable. Converters are, on the
RS485 side, protected with slow-blow fuses and transient
voltage suppressors.
Changing back to standalone controller from access
controller:
In the Codeks Device Manager software do the “Brainwash” of the
controller. Address of the controller’s switches back to 255.
