READERS AND CARDS
USING SK-ACP WITH SECURA KEY PROXIMITY READERS AND CARDS
Secura Key offers proximity readers in a variety of sizes for use with the SK-ACP panel. Secura Key proximity
readers read Secura Key cards only. Secura Key proximity cards have two encoded numbers: the ID Number
which is different on each card, and the Facility Code (also called a system or site code) which is normally the
same for all cards at a given site. When a card is read, the system first verifies the Facility Code, then it checks
the ID Number against its internal “card list” to see if the card is void or valid. It also checks the card’s Antipass-
back Status, Time Zone and Limited Use count.
ORDERING ADDITIONAL CARDS FOR YOUR SYSTEM
The SK-ACP can learn up to 16 different facility codes, but it is not generally recommended that you combine sets of
cards with different Facility Codes in the same system. The SK-ACP cannot distinguish between cards which have
different Facility Codes and the same ID Number. For example, if you have a card with Facility Code A1 and ID
Number 15 and you have a card with Facility Code B2 and ID Number 15, and the SK-ACP has been programmed to
accept both Facility Codes, it will see these as the same card.
When ordering additional cards it is recommended that you place a factory order specifying the existing Facility Code
and beginning with the ID Number which is one higher than the highest card already in use.
SETTING THE FACILITY CODE
When power is first applied to the SK-ACP the LED on each of the connected readers will flash alternately Red and
Green. While the LED is flashing, hold an Access Card with the correct Facility Code near a reader for about one
second. The LED should show a long Green flash and the reader will beep. If an additional Facility Code is to be
entered, present an Access Card with that Facility Code in the same
manner. Repeat for each Facility Code to be entered. Let the LED
stop flashing Red/Green before attempting to use an Access Card.
To change a Facility Code (or to set a Facility Code if the LED is not
flashing Red/Green) momentarily depress the reset button on the
SK-ACP. Depressing the reset button will NOT erase memory or
disrupt other programming.
To add an additional Facility Code to a system, while retaining the
existing Facility Code, you must depress the reset button and then
present a card with each Facility Code to the readers while the Red/
Green flashing is occurring. If you only present a card with the “new”
Facility Code the system will “forget” the old Facility Code.
It is only necessary to present an Access Card to one of the two
readers connected to each SK-ACP in the system.
