CRC200S Quick Installation Guide
Scope
This guide provides the basic instructions for installing, configuring and adding sequentially
numbered cards to the CRC200S Controller. Refer to the User Guide for detailed information on
using the CRC200S.
Fitting the CRC200S
Release the front cover from the main unit by pressing the securing buttons at the base of the unit
while you lift off the cover from the bottom (hinging the cover at the top).
Carefully unplug the ribbon cable linking the cover to the main unit (avoid pulling or bending the
ribbon cable). Completely remove the front cover.
Fit the unit to the mounting surface using the 2 keyhole slots and 2 mounting holes in the back
plate. Use 4 appropriate screws or nuts/bolt (M4) according to the type of mounting surface.
After wiring the unit, support the cover with one hand and carefully re-insert the end of the ribbon
cable into its socket. Refit the cover by engaging the top of the cover with the top of the housing
and hinging in the bottom of the cover until the securing buttons are fully engaged in the housing.

Reader Voltage Settings
Each of the two reader interfaces includes a power supply output that can be individually set to
either 5V or “supply voltage” to match the requirements of the connected reader. The voltage for
each reader is set on a jumper to the left of the corresponding terminal block. To avoid damage to
the readers, you must set the correct voltage for each reader before applying power to the
CRC200S. For use with 12V readers, the power supply to the CRC200S must be 12VDC.
If you are in any doubt about the output voltage to the reader, apply power to the CRC200S without
connecting the readers and measure the voltage across the reader +ve and -ve connector pins.

Basic Confidence Check
Once all cables have been terminated, power up the CRC200S and check that the opening screen
is displayed as follows:
C R C 2 0 0 m V x . x x
N o d e : N
Key: CRC200m = Clock & Data mode
CRC200w = Wiegand mode
Vx.xx = firmware version number
Node: N - this indicates the node id. where the
CRC200S is part of a network. For stand-alone
operation, this can be ignored.
Also check that the connected readers have the correct ready status displayed (refer to the
manufacturer’s handbook).
Configuring the CRC200S
The CRC200S has a wide range of configurable features. The factory default settings support
standard sequentially numbered Clock & Data cards with no additional features activated. This
guide explains how to configure only those items required for basic operation using standard
Clock & Data format cards. Refer to the CRC200S User Guide if you are using Wiegand format
cards and/or wish to activate additional features. The full menu structure is shown at the end of this
guide for general guidance.
The required basic programming actions are:
1. Set relay operation times
2. Add and validate cards as required (with or without cards available)
Once these actions have been carried out, the CRC200S is ready for basic use.
Programming
The CRC200S is programmed using the 12 buttons and the LCD display.
Note: The CRC200S is factory set to ‘210’ mode. These instructions are based on it being in
this mode. If the mode has been changed, refer to the CRC200S User Guide.
