SK-ACP Installation & Operating Manual
INTRODUCTION
T
he SK-ACP Advanced Control Panel is a highly sophisticated, yet simple to use, two door access control
unit. The unit accepts readers of almost any technology, with a Wiegand output up to 40 bits, including
Proximity, Touch Card, Wiegand, Magnetic Stripe, Bar Code, Optical, and Biometric. Each of the two
passageways controlled by the unit is completely independent of the other and is configured, programmed and
viewed separately.
Up to 100 SK-ACP Panels may be linked together on a twisted pair (plus signal ground) RS-485 bus. When used
with SK-NET™ software, a highly featured, easy to use, distributed intelligence access control system can be
created.
Each of the two passageways controlled by the SK-ACP has two programmable inputs which may be programmed
by the user to function as a Door Monitor, Tamper Monitor, Remote Open, Remote Inactive, Bell, Arming Circuit, or
User Defined Input.
Each of the two passageways controlled by the SK-ACP has two outputs. One output is the Relay that operates
the door operating device. The other output is programmable by the user to activate under one of several possible
alarm or special conditions.
SK-ACP will control access for up to 65,535 individuals in 15 weekly time schedules (Time Zones) independently
for each of the two passageways. Time Zones include a holiday schedule that is followed when one of the 32 user
programmable holidays occur.
Certain Access Cards may be designated as “Limited Use” cards, and their use may be restricted to allow access
for a given number of days or weeks or for a given number of times.
The SK-ACP may be programmed with a terminal or PC. Transaction information is stored by the unit and may be
downloaded to a terminal, PC, or serial printer. Up to 4,864 transactions are stored.
Since the SK-ACP has nonvolatile memory, reprogramming after a power loss is unnecessary.
CARD ID NUMBERS AND FACILITY CODES
Access cards used with the SK-ACP 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” in memory to see if the card is void or valid. It also checks the Time Zone, the card’s Antipassback
status, and the Limited Use count.
