1. DESIGN AND APPLICATION
The MCT84M-BK-QB is an identification terminal dedicated to RACS 5 access control system. Optionally,
reader can be configured to open communication protocol and used in other scenarios (e.g. in automation
systems). Users can be identified by use of QR code, BLE/NFC mobile ID or proximity card. Reader
supports encrypted QR codes that are compatible with Roger standard or non-encrypted codes. The
encrypted QR codes can be generated from RACS 5 system software. They may be available in the form of
printed image (label) or displayed on a phone. BLE/NFC mobile identification requires RMK (Roger) mobile
application (iOS/Android). When connected to MC16 controller reader can operate as access and/or
Time&Attendance terminal and serve as building automation control point. The neutral design of enclosure
matches various styles of traditional or modern interiors.

Power supply
The terminal requires power supply voltage in range of 11-15VDC. It can be supplied from MCX2D/MCX4D
expander of MC16-PAC-KIT, from MC16 access controller (e.g. TML output) or from dedicated power
supply unit. The supply wire diameter must be selected in such way that the voltage drop between supply
output and the device would be lower than 1V. The proper wire diameter is especially critical when device is
located in long distance from the supply source. In such a case the use of dedicated power supply unit
located close to the device should be considered. When separate power supply unit is used then its minus
should be connected to controller’s GND by means of signal wire with any diameter. It is recommended to
use UTP cable for connection of device to controller. The table below shows maximal UTP cable lengths in
relation to the number of wires used for power supply.

RS485 bus
The communication method with MC16 access controller is provided with RS485 bus which can encompass
up to 16 devices of RACS 5 system, each with unique address in range of 100-115. The bus topology can
be freely arranged as star, tree or any combination of them except for loop. The matching resistors
(terminators) connected at the ends of transmitting lines are not required. In most cases communication
works with any cable type (standard telephone cable, shielded or unshielded twisted pair etc.) but the
recommended cable is unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP cat.5). Shielded cables should be limited to
installations subject to strong electromagnetic interferences. The RS485 communication standard used in
the RACS 5 system guarantees proper communication in a distance of up to 1200 meters as well as high
resistance to interferences.
Note: Do not use more than single pair in UTP cable for RS485 communication bus.

programmed with other available functions within high level configuration (VISO).
Tamper detector
Built-in tamper (sabotage) detector enables detection of unauthorized opening of device’s enclosure as well
as detachment of the enclosure from wall. The detector is internally connected to the terminal’s input. It
does not require low level configuration or any additional installation arrangements but it is essential to
mount front panel in such way as the tamper detector (fig. 4) would firmly press the back panel. The
detector requires high level configuration which consists in assignment of the function [133] Tamper Toggle
on the level of a Main Board of a controller in VISO software navigation tree.

Identification
Depending on the version, following user identification methods are offered by terminals:
•MIFARE Ultralight/Classic proximity cards
•Mobile devices (NFC and BLE)
•1D and 2D barcodes
MIFARE cards
By default the terminal reads serial numbers (CSN) of MIFARE cards but it is possible to program cards with
own numbers (PCN) in selected and encrypted sectors of card memory. The use of PCN prevents card
cloning and consequently it significantly increases security in the system. More information on MIFARE card
programming is given in AN024 application note which is available at www.roger.pl.
The technical characteristics of the device are guaranteed for RFID cards supplied by Roger. Cards from
other sources may be used, but they are not covered by the manufactures warranty. Before deciding to use
specific Roger products with third-party contactless cards, it is recommended to conduct tests that will
confirm satisfactory operation with the specific Roger device and software in which it operates.
Mobile devices (NFC and BLE)
The MCT84M-BK-QB terminal enables identification of users using mobile devices (Android, iOS) based on
NFC and Bluetooth (BLE) technology. Before starting to use BLE/NFC identification as part of the low-level
configuration of the device (see point 4), define your own BLE/NFC Code Encryption Key and BLE/NFC
Communication Encryption Key, and in the case of Bluetooth, additionally verify whether the BLE parameter
is enabled. Install the Roger Mobile Key (RMK) application on the mobile device and set the same
parameters as in the terminal. Create a key (authentication factor) in RMK by defining its type and number
and then create the same authentication factor in the VISO program (fig. 5) assigning it to a user with
Authorizations on the terminal. For identification, the user can select the key (authentication factor) in the
RMK manually on the screen of the mobile device or using gestures.

Barcodes
The MCT84M-BK-QB terminal supports encrypted QR codes and unencrypted one-dimensional (1D) and
two-dimensional (2D) barcodes. By default, the terminal supports encrypted QR codes generated in the
Roger Mobile Key application. The option to handle clear codes is disabled by default and can be changed
via low-level configuration (RogerVDM).
Before using barcode scanner identification, you must define your own NFC/BLE Encryption Key and
NFC/BLE Communication Encryption Key as part of the low-level configuration of the device (see point 4).
Install the Roger Mobile Key (RMK) application on the mobile device and set the same parameters as in the
terminal. Create a new identifier in RMK by defining its type as QR and value (fig. 6) Then create the same
authentication factor in VISO (fig. 7) assigning it to a user with Authorizations on the terminal. For
identification, the user can select the key (authentication factor) in the RMK manually on the screen of the
mobile device or using gestures.

Note: MCT84M-BK-QB enclosure consists of front panel and back panel. New device is assembled with a
standard back panel, but additional free of charge, extended back panel is included. This panel can be used
when connection cable has to be hidden and no flush mounting box is available.
Installation guidelines
•The terminal should be mounted on a vertical structure (wall) away from sources of heat and
moisture.
•Front panel should be attached in such way as the tamper detector (fig. 4) would firmly press the
back panel.
•All electrical connections should be done with disconnected power supply.
•If the terminal and controller are not supplied from the same PSU then GND terminals of both
devices must be connected with any wire.
•Device can be cleaned by means of wet cloth and mild detergent without abrasive components. In
particular do not clean with alcohols, solvents, petrol, disinfectants, acids, rust removers, etc.
Damages resulting from improper maintenance and usage are not covered by manufacturer
warranty.
•If the device is installed in a place exposed to conductive dust (e.g. metal dust), the MEM/RST/FDM
pins should be protected with plastic mass, e.g. silicone, after installation.
3. OPERATION SCENARIOS
The terminal when connected to MC16 access controller can be at the same time used for access control
and Time&Attendance. The example of connection diagram for such scenario is shown in fig. 7 where inputs
and outputs from MC16 board are used and in fig. 8 where inputs and outputs from –IO version terminal are
used. The terminal can also operate with MC16 controller using MCX2D/MCX4D expanders as in case of
M16-PAC-KIT series. Various scenarios of operation with MC16 controllers are presented in AN002
application note.

4. CONFIGURATION
The purpose of low level configuration is to prepare device for operation in RACS 5 system. In case of
RACS 5 v1 system the address of device must be configured by means of RogerVDM software or by
manual addressing before connection to MC16 controller. While in RACS v2 system, low level configuration
and addressing can be done with VISO v2 software during final configuration of the system. Therefore in
RACS 5 v2 system the configuration from RogerVDM software and manual addressing are optional and
during installation it is only necessary to properly connect the device to MC16 access controller.
Low level configuration (VISO v2)
In RACS 5 v2 system the reader can be installed at site without previous configuration. According to AN006
application note, its address and other settings can be configured from VISO v2 management software and
during such configuration the access to its service contacts (fig. 4) is not required.
Low level configuration (RogerVDM)
Programming procedure with RogerVDM software:
1. Connect the device to RUD-1 interface (fig. 9) and connect the RUD-1 to computer’s USB port.
2. Remove jumper from MEM contacts (fig. 4) if it is placed there.
3. Restart the device (switch power supply off and on or short RST contacts for a moment) and orange
LED SYSTEM will pulsate. Then within 5 seconds place jumper on MEM contacts.
4. Start RogerVDM program, select MCT device, firmware version, RS485 communication channel and
serial port with RUD-1 interface.
5. Click Connect, the program will establish connection and will automatically display Configuration tab.
6. Enter unoccupied RS485 address in range of 100-115 and other settings according to requirements of
specific installation.
7. Click Send to Device to update the configuration of device.
8. Optionally make a backup by clicking Send to File… and saving settings to file on disk.
