4.1 Designed Function
The ARS6311-RX reader has been designed for use in access control installations
as an indoor and outdoor proximity reader to enable user identification via EM 125
kHz UNIQUE standard proximity cards and SiPass-/CerPass cards. The ARS6311-
RX can be configured for Stand-alone Mode (called OFFLINE Mode) or for use
with an external Access Control Unit (ACU) supporting compatible data interface
formats (ONLINE Mode).
The ARS6311-RX configured for ONLINE Mode works as a slave unit with its func-
tions restricted down to reading cards and providing subsequent transmission of
such collected data to the host ACU for further processing. The ARS6311-RX of-
fers several data transmission formats available for use in ONLINE Mode, which
include the popular Wiegand and Magstripe (i.e. simulation of output of a magnetic
card reader) data protocols.
When configured for Stand-alone operation (OFFLINE Mode), an ARS6311-RX
independently (i.e. autonomously) controls the supervised door access point. For
this mode, it offers the option for communication with the external I/O Board
ACS6311. An access control installation contains two ARS6311-RX (one at the en-
try, the other at the exit side of the door) enables two-way passage control. The
system setup utilizing an ACS6311 provides higher level of security for access con-
trol by separating its logical element (the reader) from the actuator element control-
ling door lock (i.e. the door lock relay).
NOTE
When configured for Stand-alone Mode, an ARS6311-RX may be used in pair with another ARS se-
ries reader. In this setup both reader can provide two-way door control (entry and exit).

4.3 ONLINE Operation – Reader
The factory new ARS6311-RX unit is pre-configured for ONLINE operation mode
with a Magstripe data format interface. For the ONLINE operation no further pro-
gramming is required. Please refer to chapter 5 for installation and to chapter 6.1, if
a change of the communication interface is needed.

4.4 Stand-alone Operation
4.4.1 Users
In Stand-alone Mode, the ARS6311-RX can register up to 120 users with cards
and ID numbers (000–119). The ARS6311-RX precludes assignment of the same
card to more than one user. User identification is done by verifying the card pre-
sented by a user.
The ARS6311-RX supports five types (classes) of users: Installer, Master, Normal,
Toggle and Toggle LTD. The Installer and Master Users are intended for program-
ming purposes only. The Normal Users are authorized to unlock the controlled
door, but not to arm or disarm the reader. The Toggle Users are authorized both to
unlock a controlled door and to switch the reader between ARMED/DISARMED
Modes. The Toggle LTD Users are authorized to change ARMED/DISARMED
Mode of the reader only, they are not authorized for door unlocking.
A new user can be registered in the reader following either a simple or a full pro-
gramming procedure. The simple procedure consists in programming a card into
the system without specifying the ID number of the user to whom the programmed
card will belong — as a result the reader simply stores the programmed card with
the unoccupied user ID number. The full programming procedure requires you to
specify an ID number (memory location) for the new user to be programmed and
then present his card.
NOTE
If you program some user using the full programming procedure you will be able later to selectively
delete him simply by using a command with his ID number specified. You will not need to use his card
for the command to take effect.
During initial programming, the user cards are saved to the terminal's memory in the order 000-119,
i.e. the first user card will automatically have the ID number 000.

4.4.2 ARMED and DISARMED Mode
When in Stand-alone Mode the ARS6311-RX can be in any of the two operational
modes available, either ARMED or DISARMED State. Its current mode is indicated
by the reader’s dual color LED STATUS , which lights in red for ARMED or
green for DISARMED State. The DISARMED Mode can be additionally indicated
via the Output Line (to enable this, activate the Reader Disarmed Output Option).
Such configuration allows the Output Line to function as a driver to arm/disarm the
connected alarm system or to operate (on/off) some other auxiliary systems or de-
vices such as lights, heating hardware etc. In general, the reader’s ARMED/DIS-
ARMED States have no effect on unlocking the door, unless the Access Disabled
When Reader Armed option has been enabled (please refer to chapter 6.3 In-
staller Programming Mode). With this option activated, access to the supervised
room can be granted only if the reader is in DISARMED State. Also by activating
this option Toggle Users obtain capability to enable/disable access to the super-
vised room, plus it allows automatic locking upon a reader entering the ARMED
State.
NOTE
Upon powering on, the reader automatically returns to the ARMED/DISARMED State it was in before
powered off. Also the reader returns to its original ARMED/DISARMED State when returning from the
User Programming Mode. After Memory Reset the reader always enters ARMED Mode.
4.4.3 Arming and Disarming of the Reader (re-arming)
Changing the reader’s state from ARMED to DISARMED and back is called
re-arming in this manual. The term “arming” should be understood as the action
effecting a switch into the ARMED State, whereas the term “disarming” a switch
into the DISARMED State.
The reader can be rearmed by Toggle or Toggle LTD Users. To rearm the reader a
Toggle User is required to present twice a Toggle Card, whereas a Toggle LTD
User needs only a single reading of his card.
With an Input Line configured to be used as Arming Disabled Input, the reader
can be armed only if the Input Line is not triggered (passive state). Consequently,
when Arming Disabled Input is triggered (active state) the ARS6311-RX will re-
ject any attempt to arm the reader. Typically the reader’s Arming Disabled Input
line should be wired to the Alarm System Control Unit’s output designed to indicate
that the Alarm System is not ready for arming (“Ready Output” on an Alarm System
Control Panel).
Example: Rearming the reader by using a Toggle User card
Read your Toggle user card: if the card is accepted the reader grants you ac-
cess and its LED SYSTEM starts blinking.
With the LED SYSTEM is blinking, present your Toggle card one more time.
This makes the reader change its arming state (the LED STATUS change its
color).
NOTE
With the Access Disabled When Reader Armed option activated and the reader is in ARMED Mode,
to give access, first switch the reader to DISARMED Mode (use Toggle or Toggle LTD Card) and then
use valid card to release the door.
