1 ATS1170: Programming Manual

 PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE - DOORS
ATS1170 is a low cost, compact remote arming station. It performs all the necessary
functions to control the operation of a single door. It will operate online in a control panel
system or as a stand-alone device with only an external 12 VDC supply. Even a
combination of both is possible: normally online and offline if communication to the control
panel is interrupted.

ATS1170 can be programmed to operate with one Wiegand or one magnetic stripe card
reader together with a simple Request-to-Exit push. The ATS1170 can hold up to 20 user
card numbers. For offline programming, DIP switch 'A' must be on - see page 9 for offline
programming.

BASIC SET-UP AND PROGRAMMING FOR ONLINE ACCESS

✍ Beeping code overview

1 long + 2 short = Card programmed

1 long = Card removed
2 short = Card read OK
3 long = Database is full
7 short = Error/not in database

1. When the ATS1170 is online, cards can only be entered into the ATS1170’s on-board database by
programming via menu 10 (Learn Mode). When the ATS1170 is online, the on-board database is NOT
used for access control. Granting access is controlled by the control panel’s user database. The on-
board database is only used for access control when the ATS1170 loses communication with the
control panel, or when permanently offline mode.

2. DIP switch A on ATS1170 has no effect in the online mode. However, it should be left in the OFF
position. This switch is only used in the offline mode to program cards. Refer to page 10 for offline
mode card programming.

3. Normal door operations are performed in the programming mode. When programming cards in online
mode, normal door access control functions apply. So if a user is valid, the access granted is given
even though you are programming the card into the on-board database.

4. One short beep is sounded by a Wiegand card reader each time a card is badged, in addition to the
number of beeps listed in the programming instructions. The first beep is generated by the Wiegand
card reader to indicate that it has read the card.

5. You can exit online programming in three ways:

a. Turn it off via menu 10 – Learn Mode.

b. Time out. After four minutes of no use while in the ATS1170 menu.

c. Logout of the ATS1170.

ATS1170: Programming Manual 8

 BASIC SET UP AND PROGRAMMING FOR OFFLINE ACCESS
CONTROL

If the control panel fails or the communication between the control panel and the
ATS1170 fails, the ATS1170 can continue operating as a stand-alone unit with its own
power supply. In this offline mode, cards programmed in the ATS1170 ‘s on-board
database will be used to determine access control, while those cards stored in the control
panel database cannot be used.

Consequently it is important to carefully select the 20 cards in the offline on-board

database. They will be the only users who have access when the control panel user
database is no longer accessible. During this time, the integrity of the security system is
under suspicion.

Action Procedure
1. Initial connections Connect the 12 VDC power supply, the card reader and
Request-to-Exit buttons (if required) as described in this
manual. Ten seconds after power-up, the Tx LED flashes once
per second to indicate that the ATS1170 is operating. This flash
rate indicates that the ATS1170 is in offline mode with no
connection to the control panel databus.

2. Card format and card type Set DIP switch C to the OFF position for Wiegand format and
ON position for magnetic stripe format.

For magnetic stripe format, DIP switch B will be in the OFF

position for ATS type cards and the ON position for Financial
Institution cards.

3. Offline programming mode To enter offline programming mode set DIP switch A to the ON
position. This is the only way to program cards (Learn Mode)
while in offline mode.

4. Programming cards into the 1. Normal door operations will continue when in the
ATS1170 user database in offline programming mode provided that valid card numbers are in
mode the on-board database.

2. Ensure DIP switch A is set to OFF when programming is

complete as otherwise the ATS1170 will always be in 'Learn
Mode' when offline.

3. Wiegand card reader sounds one short beep each time a

card is badged, as well as the number of beeps listed in the
programming instructions. This first beep indicates that the
Wiegand card reader has read the card.
