Warning! Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in con-
tact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in
this warning to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other
types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any access
system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to
operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these
reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
An access system must be installed properly in order to provide ade-
quate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a qualified
professional to ensure that every access point is adequately controlled
to the building owner’s or facility management’s expectations. Electric
solenoid locks, magnetic locks and gate controllers should be secure
and operate as intended. All latches used with the system should have
adequate holding power (lbs of force) and latch cavity size for the door
weight type (glass, wood, steel) used. A reevaluation must be done
during and after construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or
postal carrier is recommended if this service is available. All autho-
rized emergency personnel should be able to gain immediate access to
the premises when required.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effec-
tive at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal
intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these
features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically
to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or
replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insuffi-
cient coverage, disconnecting a device, immediately following a per-
son through the controlled gate or door, or interfering with the proper
operation of the system.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other
security devices require an adequate power supply for proper opera-
tion. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to
fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good
condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC
power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inopera-
tive while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are
often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage elec-
tronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption
has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure
that the system operates as intended.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate the system due to permanent or tem-
porary physical disability, inability to reach the keypad, or unfamiliar-
ity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be
trained in the correct operation of the system and that they know how
to respond when prompted.
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn
people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or
door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the premise,
then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened.
Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources
such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances,
or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be
heard by a hearing-impaired person.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as
possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure
of a component.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, a system is not a substitute for property
or life insurance. A system also is not a substitute for property owners,
renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the
harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Introduction to IoPass™- Product Overview
7
Section 1 •Introduction to IoPass™
1.1 Product Overview
The IoPass is a fully programmable stand-alone access
control system that allows entry using proximity
technology, keypad or both, for up to 5,000 users. Compact
and surface mount, the IoPass is programmed directly from
the keypad. The system is available in two models: with
integrated or external proximity reader.
Easy Programming
Programming is performed directly from the keypad with
visual confirmation of each operation on the 16-character,
2-line LCD display.
Custom Language
IoPass lets you select the system operating language.
Messages are displayed in English, French, Spanish,
German and Dutch.
Lockout on Invalid Password
To prevent unauthorized persons from gaining password
entry by trial and error, the system activates an alarm relay
and/or automatically deletes the card number after five
tries, once the option is selected in the system.
Integrated or External IoProx Proximity Reader
Two IoPass models are available. The integrated proximity
reader model is used for indoor installations. The external
proximity reader model provides a vandal and weather
resistant feature.

Programming IoPass™- Features - Access Mode Selection
15
Section 4 •Programming IoPass™- Features
4.1 Access Mode Selection
Before you start registering cardholders, you must select
the suitable access mode for your installation.
This function allows the system administrator to decide
how access will be granted to cardholders (card only, with
PIN, etc.). The default access mode is set to “Mode 0 -
Card Only”.
NOTE: For more information on access modes, refer to “5.2
Selecting the Access Mode”, page 17.
4.2 System Passwords
Four passwords can be programmed in the IoPass unit:
•The master password: it is used to program the
IoPass unit, to access the programming mode as well
as to protect the parameters of the unit. For security
purposes, you should modify the master password
before you start programming the IoPass unit.
•The main password is a “global”password that can
be used when access mode “2”is selected.
•Auxiliary password: it used to activate an auxiliary
relay when the auxiliary function is enabled in the
IoPass unit. This password will automatically be
enabled when you enable the auxiliary function.
•The guard password is used to arm or disarm the
connected security system when the guard function
is enabled in the unit. This password will automati-
cally be enabled when you enable the guard func-
tion.
NOTE: For more information on passwords and how to
modify them, refer to “5.3 Managing Passwords”, page 17.
4.3 Card Management
Up to 5,000 user cards (plus 20 auxiliary cards) can be
registered in the IoPass unit. Depending on how many
cards you need to program, you can simply add them one
at a time or use the batch process to add a pre-selected
batch of cards in the unit.
For more information on cards, auxiliary cards and all
functions related to cards, refer to one of the following
sections:
•“5.4 Adding & Deleting Cards”, page 19:
•“5.4.1 - Single Add/Single Deletion”, page 19;
•“5.4.2 - Batch Add/Batch Deletion”, page 19;
•“5.4.3 - Adding & Deleting Auxiliary Cards”, page
20.
•“5.5 Viewing Cards”, page 20;
•“5.6 Verifying a Card Number”, page 21;
4.4 Relay-1 Functions
The “Relay-1”(located on the relay module) function
depends on your requirements.
There are three (3) possibilities, but ONLY ONE can be
configured. Depending on your choice, the jumpers of the
relay module need to be set up accordingly.
•Guard Function—This function is used to arm/dis-
arm the connected security system. Either by using a
password and card, or simply a password to arm the
system.
•Auxiliary Function—This function provides the
ability to activate an external device without unlock-
ing the door. This relay can be used to activate the
lighting control, an HVAC control, or simply to
unlock an auxiliary door.
•Duress Function—In general, this relay would be
connected to an external alarm system’s panic input.
When the duress relay is activated, it triggers the
panic input on the alarm system, sending a signal to
the central station to dispatch the police.
NOTE: For more information on how to configure and use
these features, refer to “5.7 Guard Function Configuration
(Relay-1)”, page 21; to “5.8 Auxiliary Function Configuration
(Relay-1)”, page 22, and to “5.9 Configuring the Duress
Function (Relay-1)”, page 23.
4.5 Alarm Relay Functions
An alarm relay is provided on the relay module. This alarm relay
can be activated by the following events:
•Tamper Alarm (if enabled);
•Forced Entry (enabled by default);
•Door Ajar (if enabled);
•Incorrect Password keyed in five times consecutively
