2. Installing the system via BUS
• For the connections use the twisted pair and sheathed ca-
ble VIMAR 01840.E (2 x 0.5 mm2). The wire pair distributes
both the power supply voltage (29 V d.c.) and the device
control signals.
• The devices do not have to be connected in any particular
order, maintaining the polarities indicated on the terminals.
• The voltage at each point of the bus must never fall below
20 V. In particular, check the points farthest from the pow-
er supply unit and the sections of cable where the load is
greater.
• The total current used by the various devices must not ex-
ceed the nominal current of the power supply unit. Make
sure that the current drawn by a device increases as the
power supply voltage decreases (for the consumption of
the device, please refer to its instructions booklet).
• A bus system must be supplied by 1 or 2 power supply
units and related chokes (diagram on page 4).
• Maximum bus cable length with 1 power supply unit:
250m.
• Maximum bus cable length with 2 power supply units: 500
m. For optimum load distribution, it is necessary to connect
the two power supply units to the two ends of the bus.
• For “star” bus connections, avoid creating branches of the
bus that are too long and have few devices; it is recom-
mended not to exceed lengths of 50m if the branch has
no more than one device and 100 m if there are no more
than 5 devices. The best case is when the branches have
devices distributed along the cable.

3.2 - Transponder card and key
Transponder keys and transponder cards offer absolute
safety and reliability. Each key/each card contains a different
code chosen from among more than 1000 billion possible
combinations. The code's uniqueness is ensured by the key
and card production process. They work without a battery,
so they have unlimited, maintenance-free operation.
Operation
The inductive coupling between the connector, which con-
tains the primary winding of a transformer, and the tran-
sponder key or card, which contains the secondary wind-
ing (coil in a small capsule), generates energy that activates
the secondary winding, which responds by modulating and
transmitting the code. The code is transmitted by setting the
transponder key or card into contact (as shown by the posi-

7
tion of the arrow - figures 3.2a and 3.2b for the key; figures
3.2c and 3.2d for the card) with the connector, which is rec-
ognized and signalled to the system. The keys and cards can
have a MASTER or SLAVE function. The MASTER function
enables opening the enabled accesses and performing read-
er management and maintenance operations. The SLAVES
permit opening the enabled accesses only. The following
illustrations show the transponder key. Its operation is identi-
cal to that of the transponder cards.

3.3 - Relay actuator

contacts of the relay with which it is provided, is able to con-
trol electric locks, activate the lighting circuit, etc.

4.1 Initializing the transponder reader
and coding keys
If the device is not paired with a MASTER key (in other words
it has never been used), on starting it remains blocked, wait-
ing to read 4 keys (the status is indicated by the LED on
amber).
4.1.1
Power up the reader.
4.1.2
If the reader has never used the LED will
light up amber.
4. Operation
To make the system for access control via bus with tran-
sponder keys operative, you must perform the following
tasks in sequence:
• save the 4 MASTER keys;
• enlist the relay;
• save the SLAVE keys.
Note:
The MASTER key is the enabling key for all the functions.

11
4.1.5
After saving the 4 MASTER keys, the
reader is ready for configuration and op-
eration:
• pairing with the relay
• adding SLAVE keys
• deleting one or more SLAVE keys
• deleting all the SLAVE keys
• recoding the MASTER keys
4.1.4
Repeat this operation with another 3 keys.
After reading the 4 keys the LED will go
out (Fig. 4.1.5).
You need to have each reader read 4
keys; the same key can also be used 4
times.
For convenience, it is advisable to use the
same MASTER keys for all the readers
installed.
4.1.3
Place the transponder key on the reader.
Key saving is indicated by the LED blink-
ing amber, then it goes back to steady
amber.

4.2 Activating configuration status
Use this procedure to set the transponder reader in configu-
ration status, in order to then be able to program the various
functions.
4.2.2
Press the button again. The LED turns
green.
4.2.1
Press the button. The LED blinks red-off-
green in an intermittent sequence.
4.2.3
Move the MASTER key near within 15
seconds. If the key is recognized, the
LED will blink green 2 times and then go
out.

Depending on the mode and the colour of
the LED that is on, obtained by repeatedly
pressing the button, you activate the fol-
lowing functions:
• LED on red:
pairing with the relay
• LED on green:
adding SLAVE keys
• green LED blinking:
deleting SLAVE keys
• red LED blinking:
deleting all the SLAVE keys
• amber LED blinking:

If no operations are carried within 30
seconds the reader will go back into its
normal state.

not been recognized. Repeat the opera-
tion with the correct key.

4.3 Pairing with the relay
Use this procedure to pair a relay with the transponder read-
er. The paired relay will then be activated only if the tran-
sponder reader recognizes the key.
4.3.2
Press the button until the LED lights up
red.
4.3.1
The reader must be in configuration status
(the sequence of operations described in
Chapter 4.2 must have been carried out).
4.3.3
Bring the MASTER key near to the tran-
sponder reader. The LED blinks alternate-
ly red-amber.
If the LED blinks red the key has not been
recognized. Repeat the operation with the
correct key.
4.3.4
Press the button of the relay for pairing
(the relay is distinguished by the actuator
symbol shown in the figure).
The relay's LED will illuminate red and stay
on until configuration has completed and
then turn off.

activation time from 0.25 to 10 seconds,
by using the trimmer.

4.4 Coding SLAVE keys
Use this procedure to code SLAVE keys, which will be recog-
nized only by the transponder readers that have coded them.
4.4.3
Bring the reader near to the key to be
coded as a SLAVE. The LED will blink 2
times to signal coding has completed and
then go back to green.
4.4.4
Repeat this step for the other SLAVE keys
to code; each time the LED will blink to
signal successful coding
4.4.5
The same key can be coded also on other
readers by repeating the previous step.
4.4.2
Press the button a number of times until
the LED lights up green.
4.4.1
The reader must be in configuration status
(the sequence of operations described in
Chapter 4.2 must have been carried out).

4.5 Deleting one or more SLAVE keys
Use this procedure to delete any SLAVE keys that are brought
near to the transponder readers. MASTER keys cannot be
deleted with this procedure.
4.5.1
The reader must be in configuration status
(the sequence of operations described in
Chapter 4.2 must have been carried out).
