IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PSC2 AND PSC16
•When used in wiegand mode the site code read from EM cards is different.
To make the Prove PSC2 read the same site code as the Presco PSC16
refer to the “Wiegand EM Card Proximity Reader Options” section and set
memory 060 to 121.
•Keypad (PIN) output in wiegand mode is defaulted to 4 bit burst for
enhanced compatibility with modern wiegand panels. To make the PSC2
output bit mode wiegand refer to the “Wiegand Keypad Options” section
and set memory 032 to 232.
•Standard 26 & 37 bit HID cards can be read, other HID formats will read
but the output of some cards may not match that of an HID reader.

PSC2 TO PAC1 / PAC2
Programming Prox cards & tags into a PAC controller
To program a proximity card or tag into a PAC controller follow the same steps
as shown in the controller manual for programming a new user code. When it
comes to the stage to enter the user code simply present the card or tag to the
PSC2, or alternatively enter the 9 digit code for the proximity card, note that this
code may contain star (*) and hash (#) symbols and leading zeroes (0) do need
to be entered.
PAC1 Programming Example
This example uses a PAC1 controller, programming a momentary operation
proximity card or tag into memory location 001.
1. Put the PAC1 into program mode using the management code or button on
the PAC1.
2. Use the keypad on the PSC2 to open the memory location to store the Prox
card in * 001 1 E
3. Present the proximity card or tag to the PSC2.
4. Take the PAC1 controller out of program mode.
USING THE PSC2 WITH WIEGAND
The PSC2 can be used with any standard wiegand and most non-standard
wiegand controllers. The site (facility) code for the keypad can be set from the
keypad itself (refer to the Wiegand Keypad Options section) and the wiegand
data is fully configurable with up to 64 bits of data. The PSC2 also supports
controllers that require burst mode format wiegand.
To use the PSC2 in non burst wiegand mode, press the code then key. The
PSC2 can be set up to automatically send the code after a given number of key
presses by setting memory 007 (refer to the General Options section).
PSC2 TO WIEGAND
To change the LED colour from red to blue apply a negative signal (0 to 2V) to
the Yellow wire or a positive signal (2.5 to 28V) to the Blue wire.
To sound the buzzer apply a negative signal (0 to 2V) to the Brown wire.
* If a fused output for readers is not provided use a 200mA inline fuse to protect
the power supply from short circuiting if PSC2 wires are tampered with.
PSC2 OPTIONS
There are several options that can be set to alter the way in which the PSC2
behaves. These options fall into the 4 categories of General, Presco, Wiegand
Keypad and Wiegand EM Card Proximity Reader, all of these are explained
below.
General Options
These options set the functionality of the PSC2 independent of whether it is in
wiegand or Presco mode.

Revision 2
(1) - Force Presco or wiegand mode [Memory 005]
101 = Always in Presco mode.
202 = Always in wiegand mode.
All other values = Mode auto detected using white wire.
(2) - Auto send key count [Memory 007]
When this memory is set to a non-zero value the PSC2 will automatically send
the data after xkeys have been pressed, where x=value set for this memory.
Note: In Presco mode auto send is disabled if the first key pressed is a or .
(3) - LED brightness factor [Memories 200 & 201]
The red & blue LEDs can have their brightness individually set
1 = LEDs are at lowest brightness.
20 =LEDs are at full brightness.
Presco Options
These options set how the PSC2 operates when in Presco mode. It is unlikely
that these options will need to be changed.

(4) - Internal/External mode Presco keypad [Memory 010]
101 = Internal mode keypad.
All other values = External mode keypad.
Note: When set to internal mode the two button Emergency () and One
Way Arm () features are enabled when used with a KC2 or KC6. This
setting has no effect when PSC2 is being used with a Presco PAC controller.
(5) - Process received DTA characters [Memory 011]
101 = Ignore all received DTA characters (PSC2 will not give beeps, warble, etc.
after final is pressed).
All other values = PSC2 will make beeps, warble, etc. for DTA characters
received after pressing the final key.
(6) - Presco proximity reader output format (standard PAC format or KC
compatible) [Memory 012]
101 = Presco output from the prox reader is 7 digit KC compatible as per a PIM
wiegand to Presco conversion (only works for 26 bit wiegand cards).
202 = Presco output from the prox reader is 7 digit KC compatible using the
lowest 7 digits of the 9 digit Presco PAC code.
All other values = Presco output from RFID is standard 9 digit PAC format.

(7) - Number of bits for parity calculation [Memories 026, 027, 064 & 065]
Number of bits for parity calculation (0 = no parity bit, if the value is greater than
the total number of data bits (site code + user code bits) then it will use half the
total number of bits, for an odd number of bits the end parity will use 1 more bit).
(8) - Parity polarity [Memories 028 & 066]
0 = Start parity is Even, End parity is Even.
1 = Start parity is Odd, End parity is Even.
2 = Start parity is Even, End parity is Odd (default value).
3 = Start parity is Odd, End parity is Odd.
(9) - Error handling [Memory 029]
This memory specifies what information is sent via the wiegand interface when
a code entered is too large to be represented by the current wiegand format.
26 bit wiegand has a 16 bit user code which allows a max code number of 65535.
This memory determines what is sent when a number larger than this is entered.
101 = A code of 0 is sent.
202 = No information is sent, the keypad ignores the input.
All other values = The maximum allowable user code for thecurrentformat issent.
(10) - Wiegand burst mode or bit mode [Memory 032]
121 = 4 bit burst mode, , & keys data disabled.
202 = 8 bit burst mode, , & keys data enabled (= ).
212 = 8 bit burst mode, , & keys data disabled.
232 = bit mode (non burst) wiegand, default settings are for 26 bit.
All other values = 4 bit burst mode, , & keys data enabled (= ).
(11) - Custom wiegand total number of bits [Memory 033]
When this memory is set to a value from 8 to 64 it overrides the standard wiegand
format of start parity followed by site code then user code then end parity and
replaces it with a fully customisable format with a total number of bits (including
any parity bits) as specified in this memory.
Note that using this option requires a high understanding of wiegand data.
NIDAC will only offer limited support for this feature.
(12) - Send LSB first [Memory 034]
101 = LSB of data is sent first for both site and user code.
All other values = MSB of site and user code data sent first.
(13) - Default pattern bytes [Memories 040 to 047]
When the custom wiegand format is used by setting memory 033 then the data
in these memories is used to define the value for those bits not in use by the site
code, user code and parity bits. The data used starts from Bit 0 (LSB) in Default
Pattern byte 0 (memory 047), e.g. if the total number of bits is set to 24 then
Default Pattern bytes 2, 1 & 0 are used.
Wiegand EM Card Proximity Reader Options

(14) - 26 bit wiegand EM card site code byte to use [Memory 060]
121 = Presco reader site code byte used.
202 = Alternate site code byte 2 used.
All other values = Generic EM reader compatible site code byte used.
(15) - EM card custom wiegand format [Memory 061]
101 = 34 bit wiegand (16 bit site code, 16 bit user code, even start & odd end
parity bits for 16 data bits each) using Presco data.
121 = 34 bit wiegand as above using alternate site code data bytes.
202 = Custom wiegand format as defined by memories 62 to 68.
All other values = Standard 26 bit wiegand`.
(16) - Number of bits in EM card site/ user code [Memories 062 & 063]
A maximum of 40 data bits can be set as a sum of these 2 memories. If the sum
exceeds 40 then the number of site code bits will be automatically reduced.
(17) - Data start bit from EM card [Memories 067 & 068]
There are 40 bits of data in an EM card organised as D00-D03, D10-D13, D20-
D23, D30-D33, D40-D43, D50-D53, D60-D63, D70-D73, D80-D83 and D90-D93.
Bit D00 is referred to as bit 1 for this memory and bit D93 as bit 40.
Ensure that when setting the start bit that there are enough bits after the start bit
for the number of bits set for the site or user code data.
