4. Installation
4.1 Mounting
The AC-C31V is designed to be easily mounted onto a US Gang
Box.
1. Before starting, select the location to mount the AC-C31V
controller. This location should be at shoulder height and on
the same side as the door handle.
2. Remove the Bezel Screw from the AC-C31V (see Figure 1).
3. Screw the AC-C31V controller onto a US Gang Box through
the two Mounting Holes provided (see Figure 2).
4. Pass the wires through the exit/entry holes and attach them to
the controller's terminal blocks, as shown in the wiring
diagrams. (See Figure 3 and Figure 4 in Wiring Diagrams for
wiring diagrams of common installations.)
5. Replace the controller’s bezel, and replace the factory
default screw with the security screw that is provided in the
Installation Kit. A security screw tool is also provided in the
Installation Kit.

Normal, Secure, and Master Users
AC-C31V Installation Manual Page 10
6. Normal, Secure, and Master Users
The AC-C31V accepts up to 500 users and provides entry via the
use of PIN codes. Each user is provided with two code memory
slots: Memory Slot 1 (Primary Code) and Memory Slot 2
(Secondary Code).
The way that the two memory slots are programmed determines a
user's access level and also determines the way that the AC-C31V
grants access in its three modes of operation.
There are three user levels:
Normal User - A Normal User only has a Primary Code and is only
granted access when the AC-C31V is in Normal or Bypass mode.
Secure User - A Secure User must have a Primary and Secondary
Code programmed; the two codes must not be the same. The
Secure User can gain access when the AC-C31V is in any of its
three modes of operation. In Normal mode, the Secure User must
use a Primary Code to gain entry. In Secure Mode, the Secure
User must present both a Primary and Secondary Code in order to
gain entry.
Master User - A Master User must have both Primary and
Secondary Codes programmed with the same PIN code. The
Master User can gain access during any mode of operation by
entering the PIN code. (The Master User is convenient, but is less
secure than a Secure User).

Modes of Operation
AC-C31V Installation ManualPage 11
7. Modes of Operation
The AC-C31V has three modes of
operation:
•Normal mode - Mode LED is green.
Normal Mode is the default mode. In
Normal Mode, the door is locked until
a Primary Code is presented to the controller. Special codes
such as “Open Code 1” and
“Open Code 2” are active in
Normal mode (see Changing
Open Code 1 and Changing
Open Code 2).
•Bypass mode - Mode LED is orange.
In Bypass Mode, access to the premises is dependent on
whether the controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for
Fail Safe Operation or for Fail Secure Operation.
When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Secure
Operation, the door is locked until the Door Bell Button is
pressed. When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail
Safe Operation, the door is constantly unlocked.
•Secure mode – Mode LED is red.
Only Secure and Master Users can
access the premises during the
Secure Mode.
A Secure User must enter a Primary and a Secondary Code in
order to gain entry. After entering the Primary Code, the Door
LED flashes green for 10 seconds, during which time the
Secondary Code must be entered. A Master User only needs
to enter a PIN code once in order to gain entry.

The Request to Exit (REX) Button
AC-C31V Installation Manual Page 14
9. The Request to Exit (REX) Button
The REX Button is used to open the door without the use of a PIN
code, and must be located inside the premises in order to be
secured. It is usually located in a convenient location, such as
inside the door or at a receptionist's desk. The function of the REX
Button depends on whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed
for Fail Safe Operation or for Fail Secure Operation. The door
chime in the BL-D40 does not sound when the REX Button is used
to open the door.
•Fail Secure Operation: From the moment the REX Button is
pressed, the door remains unlocked until the "Lock Strike
Release Time" has passed. After this time, the door is locked
even if the REX Button has not been released.
•Fail Safe Operation: From the moment the REX Button is
pressed, the door remains unlocked until the REX Button is
released and the "Lock Strike Release Time" has passed. In this
case, the "Lock Strike Relay" only begins its countdown once
the REX Button has been released.

Case Tamper
AC-C31V Installation ManualPage 15
10. Case Tamper
If the case of the controller is opened, a tamper event is triggered
and a coded tamper signal is sent to a BL-D40, PS-X41 Series, or
PS-X42 Series Power Supply, or to another compatible device.
If the BL-D40 External Sounder, PS-X41 Series, or PS-X42 Series Power
Supplies receives a Tamper Event Signal, it activates a Siren, and if
available, a Strobe Light. The Siren time can be easily
programmed in the AC-C31V from zero to nine minutes.
You can clear a tamper event by entering a valid User or Open
Code to open the Lock Strike Output in the current Mode of
Operation. For example, while in Secure Mode, you cannot use
the Open Code to clear the tamper event, because the Open
Code does not work in Secure Mode. However, you can apply a
Master Code or Secure Code to clear the tamper event in Secure
Mode.

The BL-D40 External Sounder
AC-C31V Installation Manual Page 16
11. The BL-D40 External Sounder
The BL-D40 External Sounder is compatible with the AC-X31, AC-
X32, AC-X41, and AC-X42 series Standalone Controllers. (For a
more up-to-date list of compatible products, check the Rosslare
Web Site at www.rosslaresecurity.com) It is designed to operate
indoors and is installed within the premises to be secured. The
Sounder can be powered by a 12V DC power supply.
The BL-D40 is capable of emitting four different types of alerts,
both audible and visual: Bell, Door Chime, Siren, and Strobe Light.
•The Bell always sounds when the controller's doorbell button is
pressed.
•The Door Chime can be programmed to sound whenever the
controller unlocks the door (the Door Chime does not sound
when the REX Button is used to open the door).
•The Siren can be programmed to sound when the case of the
controller is opened or when the controller is removed from
the wall. The controller can also program the length of the
Siren in the BL-D40.
The Controller communicates with the BL-D40 using a coded
proprietary Rosslare communications protocol. This provides a
more secure link between the Controller and the BL-D40. If the
BLD40 receives any unrecognized codes on its communication
line, or communication between the controller and the BL-D40 are
severed, the Strobe flashes repeatedly until the communication
problem is resolved.

Programming the AC-C31V
AC-C31V Installation ManualPage 17
12. Programming the AC-C31V
You can program the AC-C31V solely via the unit's keypad-driven
Programming Menu System. To reach the Programming Menu
System, first place the AC-C31V into Programming Mode (see
Entering Programming Mode for more information).
During the AC-C31V manufacturing process, certain codes and
settings are preprogrammed. These settings are called the
"Default Factory Settings".
The table below shows the names of all the AC-C31V Menus. It
also shows all the AC-C31V default factory codes and settings.

Programming the AC-C31V
AC-C31V Installation Manual Page 18
12.1 Entering Programming Mode
1. Press the # key for two seconds.
The Mode LED turns off and the
Door LED turns red.
2. Enter your 4-digit Programming
Code.
If the Programming Code is valid,
the door LED turns green and
the AC-C31V goes into
Programming Mode.
Note:
The AC-C31V must be in Normal Mode in order to enter the
Programming Mode.
The factory default Programming Code is 1234.
If a Programming Code is not entered within five seconds,
the AC-C31V returns to Normal Mode.
12.2 Exiting Programming Mode
To exit the Programming Mode at any time:
•Press the #key for two seconds.
Three beeps are emitted.
The Door LED turns off.
The Mode LED turns green, indicating that the AC-C31V has
returned to Normal Mode.
Note:
Wrong entries may reset the controller back to Normal Mode.
While in Programming Mode, if no key is pressed for one
minute, the AC-C31V exits programming mode and returns to
Normal Mode.
In certain Programming Modes, a quick press on the #key
may also return the system to Normal Mode.
