DESIGN AND APPLICATION
RWL-2 lock enables read-in access control based on MIFARE proximity cards. The lock can be
operated in Online mode within RACS 5 access control system or in Offline mode as standalone
device. In the Online mode access decisions are made on the access controller to which lock is
connected. In the Offline mode , based on the card numbers stored in its memory, the lock decides
autonomously if the access can be granted. For the time when connection to access controller is lost
RWL-2 automatically switches to Offline mode .
The RWL-2 lock consists of two escutcheons with handles. Card reader is installed in the external
escutcheon while the battery pack is installed in the internal one. The internal handle is permanently
coupled with latch and door can be always open without use of electronics. The external handle is
separated from the latch and moves freely. When the access is granted the electronic module couples
the external handle with latch to enable door opening. The RWL-2 lock can be optionally equipped
with door cylinder and then be opened from the outside with traditional metal key. Optionally the
RWL-2 can be equipped with external door contact and mortise deadbolt contact. Statuses of these
detectors are reported to the access controller. The wireless lock is supplied by 4 AAA batteries. Low
battery level can be signalled locally and reported to the access controller. The batteries enable one
year operation for average 10 opening cycles per day.
Depending on door opening direction and handle location on the door leaf the adequate type of RWL-
2 lock must be applied.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The RWL-2 can be used as autonomous access control point, where the access is granted based on
the data stored in the lock’s memory, or as a networked access point operating in the on-line access
control system. In the Online mode access is controlled by the external controller. Transmission
between the lock and controller is wireless and requires intermediary RWH-1 hub. Regardless of the
selected working mode (online or offline) the lock requires configuration which can be done from the
programming computer with the RogerVDM application and connected to the lock through RUD-1
communication interface. If the lock is designated to operate in Offline mode with list of 50 users,
each equipped with Main card and Backup card , it can be programmed manually without computer. In
this scenario, two programming cards, called ADD card and DEL card, are used to program the unit.
Proximity cards
The lock is equipped with a card reader which supports MIFARE® Ultralight/Classic/DESFire/Plus
cards. Factory configured device reads card serial number (CSN - Chip Serial Number ), but using
RogerVDM software it can be configured to use programmable card number (PCN – Programmable
Card Number ) stored in the encrypted memory of the MIFARE card.
Card number
The card number which RWL-2 lock reads from the card and returns to the access controller is called
RCN ( Returned Card Number ). In general, the RCN can be composed of two sections:
·CSN section
·PCN section
The CSN section is a part of the RCN card number taken from the card serial number (CSN). The
serial number is programmed by card manufacturer.
The PCN section is a part of the RCN card number taken from the card’s programmable memory. The
programmable number can be encrypted with own key in order to enable protection against card
copying.
Using RogerVDM program, installer can define the method used to read card number. It is possible to
operate solely with CSN or PCN number, or combination of both (CSN+PCN). By default, lock utilizes
CSN number.
Note: Due to relatively easy copying of the card serial number (CSN), it is recommended to configure
the lock for operation with programmable card number (PCN). If so, cards have to be programmed in
the way which corresponds with lock’s card number configuration.
Offline mode
In the Offline mode , the lock grants access for cards stored in its memory. The lock can operate
permanently in Offline mode or enter this mode temporary, when operating in Online mode but
wireless connection with controller is lost.
Up to 100 cards can be defined and stored in lock’s memory. Each card can be authorised for
momentary door opening (option: Normal access ) and/or to open the door for unlimited time (option:
Office access ). If the card is authorized for Normal access then it opens the lock for the time specified
by the parameter Lock pulse . If the card is authorized for Office mode then it can open the lock for
unlimited time. When lock is switched to Office mode door can be open without use of a card. If the
card is authorised for Normal access and Office mode then in order to get access it shall be used once
while in order to activate Office mode it shall be used twice.
Backup cards
Up to 100 cards can be defined and stored in lock’s memory. Each card can belong to individual user.
Optionally the lock can operate with 50 users only. In such a case each user can have two cards: Main
card and Backup card . Both cards have the same authorizations. Factory new lock is configured to

RWL-2 Operating Manual.doc 2018-06-29
6/17
operate with 50 users. This mode is also used in case of restoring lock’s default settings. Switching to
100 users mode can be done by means of RogerVDM software.
The Backup cards are dedicated to installations where lock is programmed manually. Thanks to the
Backup card it is possible to remove selectively Main card from the lock’s memory even thou it is not
physically available (e.g. lost or damaged). If the Backup card is not available then in order to remove
lost or stolen Main card it is necessary to clear entire lock’s memory and program all cards from the
scratch. To assure availability of Backup cards they should be properly marked and stored.
Note: Backup card is assigned with same authorizations as accompanying Main card and can be used
on the same rules as the Main card .
Online mode
In the Online mode , the lock is wirelessly connected to access controller which controls the access to
the room. Cards and inputs are reported to the controller which makes decision about access.
In case when wireless connection is lost, the lock automatically switches to Offline mode and
continues operation based on its internal configuration settings. When the wireless connection is
restored then the lock automatically returns to Online mode .
Radio channels
The wireless communication utilizes the IEEE 802.15.4/ 2.4GHz band which is shared with Wi-Fi
networks. If the lock uses the same channel as Wi-Fi network then in case of intensive Wi-Fi
transmission the lock may occasionally lose communication with the hub. Prior to wireless system
installation it is recommended to verify what channels are occupied by local Wi-Fi networks and use
those which are free. Radio channel scanning can be made using popular mobile apps.

RWL-2 lock is equipped with 4 LED indicators which functions are described in the table below.
LED indicators
Name Colour Description
LED RED Red Online mode : the function of this LED is programmed in VISO
management software.
Offline mode : indicator is blinking when lock waits for the
optional second card reading. If it occurs, lock switches to Office
mode .
LED GREEN Green In Online mode the function of this LED is programmed in VISO
management software.
In Offline mode the indicator is not used.
LED BLUE Blue Online mode : the indicator is controlled by access controller in
accordance with the logic applied in the RACS 5 system.
If the lock switches to Offline mode due to communication
failure then LED BLUE is operated as lock was in Offline mode
except that it blinks instead of steady light.
The indicator blinks slowly if wireless communication is not
configured.
In Offline mode the indicator:
·2 sec pulse when access is granted and external
handle is coupled
·two 2 sec pulses when access is denied
·lights steadily when operates in Office mode
LED
SYSTEM Orange ·lights steadily in case of lock’s configuration error
·pulses slowly in case of low battery level (batteries
must be replaced)
·pulses every 2 sec when wireless connection is being
established in Online mode
Power supply
RWL-2 lock is supplied from 4 pcs of AAA batteries. In case of average 10 operations daily the alkaline
batteries enable 1 year functioning. Low battery level is reported to VISO management software and
additionally it is signalled locally by orange LED SYSTEM pulsing and acoustic signal generated prior to
entering standby mode.
CONFIGURATION
RWL-2 lock can be programmed manually or from PC computer. Manual programming enables card
management for Offline mode only. All configuration settings can be setup and edited using
RogerVDM program. Connection to PC requires RUD-1 interface.

Label Name Authorization
ADD ADD programming card New card adding to the lock
DEL DEL programming card Card deleting from the lock
Configuration recovery from the lock
In some circumstances it might be required to recover the configuration settings from the lock. Such
operation can be done by means of RogerVDM software. Regardless of the operating mode it is not
possible to recover communication password and card encryption keys. Recovery of the user cards
programmed in the lock’s memory, can be disabled by means of Card codes protection option, which
by default is set off so the card codes can be read from the lock’s memory.
Note: Once the Card code protection option is set, the only way to clear it is to execute memory reset
which erases entire lock’s memory.
Manual programming of the users
If the lock operates in Offline mode then it can be configured manually without computer. Using
manual programming it is possible to add and delete user cards. Factory new lock is configured for
Offline mode with Backup cards and delivered with 2 programming cards (ADD card and DEL card).
The manual programming of the users can be used either when lock operates with Backup cards (50
users limit) or without Backup cards (100 users limit). When lock operates with 100 user limit,
programming steps related to the Backup cards shall be skipped.
Note: It is possible to program new ADD and DEL programming cards during memory reset
procedure.
