Introduction
The M2000PE is an access controller for the operation of two doors.
It has an integrated Merlin high security code hopping radio receiver. It also has two Wiegand
inputs for external readers, and two 9 V dc outputs to power them.
Two output relays, each with a 5-amp capacity, allow direct connection to electric locks.
An enabling link on the relays further allows either output to be controlled by one or two
simultaneous inputs, for selected management of either person plus vehicle or personnel
only.
An anti-pass back option allows for exit control management,
A 4-digit LCD display is used for programming and assigning readers or transmitters to a
total memory capacity of 2000 users. The LCD momentarily displays the assigned code
on each valid access.
Connection to the serial port of a PC running WIN-GT/SYSTEM software is possible
using the INT485C adapter. This allows the remote entering or deletion of either individual
or blocks of serial numbers. Alternatively, the handheld GT/SYSTEM terminal can be used.
Four buttons, with colour ID and the aid of the LCD display, offer easy to use setup, pro-
gramming, and parameter setting.
All settings can be password protected.
The M2000PE is housed in a plastic enclosure suitable for indoor installations and for
DIN rail mounting.
Radio interference
Radio interference can reduce the performance of radio frequency (RF) remote controls.
RF remote controls are required to operate in shared radio frequency bands. Regulations
permit other users to continuously operate higher powered devices such as baby monitors
or wireless headphones in these shared bands. These devices may cause radio interfer-
ence that reduces the performance of your remote control. Switch off interfering devices
if possible.

to the module.
This is achieved from the ‘memory’ menu, ‘copy’ option, ‘file to module’, or ‘module to file.’
F10: Memory mode
Three different relay assignment options for wireless devices are available on the M2000PE
unit: F, H, & P. Note that using H or P option will result in all code stored in all locations to be
deleted.
F This is the default mode, where relays are activated according to their assign-
ment in F3 and F4. Namely:.
All locations activate relay 1 from a particular wireless channel, set up using F3
All locations activate relay 2 from a particular wireless channel, set up using F4
This function is useful to allow all users to operate each relay from the same
channels on their remotes.
One channel can operate both relays, or different channels can operate each
relay.

05/04
12
H This mode is to allow some restriction on user access to some doors. Namely:
Locations 0001 to 1000 activate relay 1 only; select which radio channel using
F3
Locations 1001 to 2000 activate relay 2 only; select which radio channel using
F4
If one wireless device is to operate two relays, then it must be assigned to two
locations, for example:
Location 0001, channel 1 (button 1), relay 1
Location 1001, channel 2 (button 2), relay 2
And so a user who is allowed to access only one relay should only be stored in
only one location.
P This anti-pass back function is useful to prevent multiple entries without exiting
using the same card.
Card must be assigned to relay 1 and to relay 2.
Relays must be activated in sequence by the same card.
To select F, H, or P options:
a) Simultaneously press INC & DEC to enter programming mode.
b) Press FUN to access the function selection menu.
c) Scroll using INC & DEC to display F10.
d) Press VAL to confirm. The display will show the current mode selected, e.g. F
e) Scroll using INC & DEC to display F, H, or P
f) Press VAL to confirm. The display will return to the function selection menu.
g) Simultaneously press INC & DEC to exit programming mode.
