4. NORMAL, SECURE & MASTER USERS
The CUBE R. NW 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 in which the two memory slots are programmed determines a
user access level and also determines the way in which the CUBE R.
NW 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 CUBE R. NW 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 CUBE R. NW is in any of its three
Modes of Operation. In Normal Mode the Secure User must use
their Primary Code to gain entry. In Secure Mode the Secure User
must present both their Primary and Secondary Codes 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 presenting their PIN code to
the controller. (The Master User is convenient but is less secure than a
Secure User).

5. Modes of Operation
The CUBE R. NW has 3 Modes of Operation:
1. Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the default mode
and the Mode LED is green. In
Normal Mode the door is locked
until a Primary Code is presented to the controller. Special codes such
as "Open Code" and "Auxiliary Code" are active in Normal mode. (see
par. 9 and 11).
2. Bypass Mode.
In Bypass mode the 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 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.
3. Secure Mode
In secure mode the LED is red. Only
Secure and Master Users can
access the premises during the
Secured Mode.
A Secure User must enter their Primary and Secondary Codes to gain
entry. After entering their Primary Code the Door LED will flash green
for 10 seconds, during which the Secondary Code must be entered.
A Master User only needs to present their PIN code once to gain entry.

6. Auxiliary Input and Output
The CUBE R. NW auxiliary input and output can be configured in
different combinations, for optimum usability in different applications.
(see par.15).
7. Request to Exit Button
The Exit-button must be located inside the premises to be
secured and is used to open the door without the use of a proximity card
or PIN code, it is usually located in a convenient location, e.g. Inside the
door or at a receptionist's desk. The function of the Exit-button depends on
whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation
or Fail Secure Operation.
1. Fail Secure Operation: From the moment the Exit-button is
pressed, the door will be unlocked until the "Lock Strike Release
Time" has passed. After this time, the door will be locked even if
the Exit-button has not been released.
2. Fail Safe Operation: From the moment the Exit-button is
pressed, the door will be unlocked until the button is
released, plus the "Lock Strike Release Time". In this case the
"Lock Strike Relay" only begins its count down once the
Exit-button has been released.

8. Programming the CUBE R. NW
Programming the CUBE R. NW is done solely via the unit's keypad
driven Programming Menu System (see par.8.1). Some codes and
settings are pre-programmed with Default Factory Settings. The table
below shows the names of all the CUBE R. NW Menus, default factory
codes and settings.
The keypad accepts as default a 4-digit sequence and in the same
manner, the access code for programming functions is of 4 digits
(default 1234).
The number of digits can be increased to 5, 6 or 8 digits. This
modification is made using menu “0”, after having entered the
programming mode (see paragraph 23).
ATTENTION: this programming must be done at the time of
installation because passing from one length to another cancels
all the memory content.
When the code length is modified, the programming access code
(initially 1234) is modified as shown in the following table:

i.e. a slot where there is no existing Primary Code.
Primary Codes must be unique, i.e. one user Primary Code
may not be the same as another user Primary Code.
Primary Codes cannot be the same as any system codes,
such as the Normal / Secure Code or Open Code.
Users who hold a Primary Code can gain entry during
Normal and Bypass modes
Secondary Codes
GREEN
GREEN GREEN
Secondary Codes can only be enrolled to User Slot that
already has a Primary Code enrolled but no Secondary Code

CUBE READER NW

Secondary Codes do not have to be unique, i.e. multiple
users can all hold the same Secondary Code.
Secondary Codes cannot be the same as any system codes,
such as the Normal / Secure Code or Open Code.
Users who hold Secondary Codes can gain entry in any
Mode of Operation.
Enrolling codes
There are two methods to enroll Primary and Secondary codes, the
Standard Method and the Code Search Method.
A. The Standard Method is mainly used when the User Slot
number for the user you wish to program is known. You
can program both Primary and Secondary Codes using
the Standard method.
B. The Code Search Method is mainly used when enrolling
a users Secondary Code and the User Slot Code is
unknown. The Code Search method only works if a
user's Primary Code is already enrolled but the
Secondary Code is not.
17.1 Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes using the
Standard Method
1. Enter Programming Mode.
2. Press "7" to enter Menu 7: the
Door LED will turn orange.
3. Enter the 3-digit User Slot
number between 001 to 500
that you wish to enroll a
Primary or Secondary code to.
(For example, the User Slot
003 represents User #3).
