Hardware Reset
A hard are reset clears the unit’s memory and
restores factory default settings. All card
information is deleted except for any Readers
configured into special formats ill not be
changed.
To perform a hard are reset:
1. S itch the unit on.
2. Link the reset jumper J1 together
(short ith jumper provided) for a
fe seconds.
3. Remove the jumper (‘park’ the
jumper on 1 pin only).
Testin the Installation
The installation can be tested ithout using the computer or soft are. This allo s you to check that the
hard are is correctly connected and configured. In
installer mode, you can check that:
•The cards ill ork ith the readers.
•The doors are opened by a card
(any card of the correct reader technology
ill activate all doors (relays).
•Egress buttons open the doors.
To enter installer mode:
Note. If EXgarde soft are is already running, disconnect
the communications to the ACU by unplugging the 9-
ay connector.
1. Apply po er to the EXpert2. You ill need to
reset the unit (see box opposite).
The LED on the reader(s) should start flashing at
about t o flashes per second.
2. To place the ACU into installer mode:
a. Press the tamper s itch do n for
5 seconds.
b. Release the tamper s itch for
5 seconds.
c. Press the tamper s itch do n again for 5 seconds.
d. Release the tamper s itch again for 5 seconds.
e. Press the tamper s itch do n again for 5 seconds.
f. Release the tamper s itch again for 5 seconds – The ACU ill bleep once hen in Installer
Mode.
The LED on the reader(s) ill start flashing at about t o flashes per second.
Note. If a door sensor is fitted to Door 1, the on-board buzzer may sound after 15 seconds. If this
happens it is because the ACU senses that the door is open, and is signalling that the door has
been left open too long. If the door is in fact closed, this can be corrected from the EXgarde
soft are. Temporarily, silence the buzzer by opening the door or replacing the factory-fitted link
across the door sensor inputs of door 1.
3. Present a correct technology card to one of the readers. The flashing rate should change to one
flash every t o seconds.
4. Present the card again – relays 1 and 2 should be activated for 5 seconds (until you have run the
soft are, the ACU has not been configured for one-door or t o-door installation). Note that until
the first card is programmed using EXgarde, ANY card of the correct technology ill trigger both
relays.
5. Press an egress button (if fitted) and the associated lock should operate for as long as the button
is pressed, and remain operational for 5 seconds after the button is released.
6. You can test all the readers, reader ports, relays and locks (if fitted) are orking.
7. When you have completed tests, exit installer mode by:
•Validating a card using the soft are or EXkeypad.
•Performing a hard are reset (see box above).
