SK-ACP Installation & Operating Manual
SETTING THE FACILITY (SYSTEM) CODE
IMPORTANT
Before programming or using a new unit,
the correct Facility Code must be set.
When power is first applied, or when the reset button is pushed (see Figure 3) the LED on each of the two readers will
flash red and green alternately. While the LED is flashing, present an Access Card with the proper facility code to one
of the readers and remove it (note LED turns solid green for about 1 second and the beeper beeps to indicate that the
card has been read). The SK-ACP will “remember” the facility code and retain it until reprogrammed. It is not necessary
to present the access card to the second reader since it is automatically set for both passageways. After setting the
facility code, wait for the LED to stop flashing before attempting to use the reader.
To change a facility code (or to set the facility code if the LED is not flashing red/green), momentarily depress the
reset button. The LED indicator will flash red and green alternately. If the reset button is pushed, but no card is
presented to the reader before the LED indicator times out, the system code will be unchanged.
In some cases it may be necessary for the unit to recognize more than one
facility code. Typical instances are when it is necessary to read cards that
work in two independent locations that already have different facility codes
or when two different reader technologies are used in the same system,
each of which has a different facility codes.
The SK-ACP can be set to recognize up to sixteen different facility codes.
To program multiple facility codes, follow the procedure above for
programming a single facility code, but present a card with the second
facility code (and additional facility codes if necessary) to the reader before
the red/green LED indicator times out.
Note that it is not generally recommended to combine sets of cards
with different facility codes, because the unit cannot distinguish
between access cards having different facility codes and the same
ID number.
For example, if you have two sets of cards numbered 1-100, with facility codes
12345 and 23456, and you delete cards 1 - 10 from the reader’s internal “card
list,” then cards 1 - 10 with either facility code will be denied entry at the reader.
