S610S Hardware Installer Manual

1 Introduction
The S610S reader from CEM Systems is an intelligent ID card reader, designed to integrate with
an AC2000 SE or webEntry Access Control system. The S610S is an S600S with re-designed
two part case design and integral 125kHz read head. The S610S serial master reader is connected
to a serial controller, an S9064 for example. Other serial controllers include S9020, S9040 and
the S9032. The S610S serial reader can support and exit reader and a CEM Door Interface Unit.
READER MEMORY
Memory capacity is dependent on the type of card record. An 8-byte database stores the Card ID
along with the associated PIN, card status and time zone, up to 225,000 card records and
transactions held.
OFFLINE CARD VAILDATION AND ALARM BUFFER
During normal operation, the card holder database is downloaded to the reader and held in RAM;
this data is used to verify cards only if communications to the controller is disrupted. Alarms and
transactions are also held in memory and forwarded when communications are restored. Up to
8000 offline transactions, 256 time zones, 80 holidays are supported.
During extended offline periods the reader memory may be filled to capacity, then the oldest
alarms and transactions will be overwritten and the most resent will continue to be stored.
CARD TECHNOLOGY TYPES
The S610S family of readers can support the following access control card technologies.

DOOR MODES
The S610S reader is used to control access at a standard entry/exit point but it can also be used
for a number of special operational modes; Control Post mode, Door mode, Passenger mode,
Trolley mode and Turnstile mode.
SMARTCARD TECHNOLOGY
Also available is the S610SP which has been specifically modified to use the Inside Technologies
PicoPass™ card. A full manual is available for this model of reader. Please contact your
supplier if Pico technology is required to integrate with your access control system.
HIGH SECURITY ENVIRONMENTS
CEM readers must be used in conjunction with a tamper protected DIU (Door Interface Unit) and
alarm when tampered. Where a DIU is supplied without an enclosure, the installer must fit an
enclosure and connect a tamper sensor. DIUs must be fitted on the secure side of the door or
other secure location. A battery backup power supply must be provided to ensure no false release
on mains fail. Current examples include DIU200, DIU210 or DIU230 PoE. The DIU enclosure
can only be accessible with the use of tools, e.g. screwdrivers or lock and key; flip open covers
are not acceptable.

1.2 Typical S610S Access Control network

S610S readers are connected to an RS485 serial chain from an AC2000 serial network controller,
e.g. an S9064. Also S610S readers are used as an Exit Reader when connected to an S600E
Ethernet reader; Ethernet readers cannot be used as exit readers.

S610S readers can be used on an RS485 serial chain as Master and Exit readers.

Using an Ethernet Control Module (ECM)

If it is necessary to connect an S610S serial device to an Ethernet access control system (RTC)
use an ECM. This CEM signal bridge converts duplex Ethernet RS485 data. Please consult the
ECM manual for more information.

S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

S610S Reader in Normal Operation

The Reader’s address is a four digit address, reading from left to right, the first digit is the
Controller address, the second digit is the NCN or Network Connection Node. The NCN is the
physical serial channel from the controller the reader is connected to. The third digit is the actual
reader’s address on that channel; each reader must be addressed uniquely, and the address is
directly applied to the reader using the reader’s keypad command menu. The last digit indicates a
Master Reader if 0 or an Exit reader if 1.

NORMAL OPERATION
The character after the time in the standard LCD message will change to O, C or F.

O – The reader is Online (normal) C – Coldstart (rebooting or Firmware update)

F – The Reader is Off line or has not received a configuration
If the F is present the reader may not be added to AC2000 Devices application table.

Telnet or HyperTerm serial network controller

For further information about the state of a serial reader, use Telnet or Hyper Term to log on the

allow for timeout.
Use the and to scroll through menu, use to select displayed option.
Select the TEST then INPUTS sub menu. Then open/close each input in turn in order to test their
functionality.

3.6 Monitoring Inputs for Cable Tampers

4 State - Used to enable input monitoring: Open, Closed, Tamper Short and Tamper Cut. If this
option is selected, cable tampering of ‘short’ and ‘cut’ will also be detected. Different types of
tamper are not distinguished, but simply reported as tamper. If a Tamper condition has occurred on
an input cable, e.g. a cut or short, then a subsequent alarm will not be detected, or appear on an
AC2000 Alarm Event Display.
THIS OPTION IS ONLY VALID IF RESISTORS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE INPUT SENSOR
WIRES.
Tamper detect is achieved by taking two additional steps:-
• Install a resistor network across the cabling at the input sensor.
• On an AC2000 Workstation Devices Application
- Enable 4-state tamper detect

Sensor fitted with resistors, monitoring Open Closed and tamper conditions.

Note: Resistors must be fitted close to the sensor

The 1k resistor should be fitted in line with the input wire and the 2.2k resistor should be placed
across the wiring pair. This will ensure that the S610S will detect Open, Closed, Tamper Short
and Tamper Cut circuits.

from the list and check 4 state.

3.7 Using an external read head

In some exceptional circumstances it may be necessary to connect an external read head to the
reader for dual technology access. For example a barcode reader can be connected to H0 to allow
access to barcode type cards, as well as Prox card holders.
To connect an external read head to the secure side of a door use H0 head connection found on
the reader PCB. H0 pin order is shown below; the reader wires are for a sample only.

To connect a read head for an Exit reader use H1. See connecting an Exit Reader later in this
manual.

3.8 S610S Lock and spare output relay connections

The S610E reader has two volt-free changeover relays.
The following S610S parameters may be changed using the Devices application if required: -
lockopentime (sec) - maximum time to open the door after a valid card presentation
doorcloseafter (sec) - maximum time for door to remain open before an alarm is generated

Connecting a lock
In normal door mode Relay 0, the first relay, is reserved for a door lock. A door lock controlled
by Relay 0 does not require any AC2000 workstation software configuration; unless changes to
the default five second Lock open time is necessary. Relay 1, the second relay, (if not used for
Interlocking) is spare and can be used to activate an external device e.g. sounder or strobe light.
Connect a maglock or a lock that is secure when electrically energised to the relay output
connector J12 as follows:

Relay Connector J12 showing typical Maglock configuration.

15
S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

Using a Fail secure lock connected to a reader

If using a fail secure type lock, i.e. the lock is secure when the power is down. Mortise or fail
secure type locks will normally be terminated using NC1 and C1, the opposite state to a maglock.
If required the relay output can be inverted using software.

Connecting a Sounder to a spare output relay

Check your OEM sounder documentation for signal requirements. The S610S output relay
provides normally open or normally closed connection options.

Connecting a Sounder.

Remember that the PCB legend applies when the PCB is un-powered.
When the PCB is powered the relay states become inverted.

Invert relay output

The relay legend on an S610S PCB reflects the relay state when the reader is powered down. As
soon as the S610S reader receives 12v power, the relay states become inverted. Therefore NO
(Normally Open) becomes CLOSED allowing voltage to a connected maglock.
If using a fail secure type lock, i.e. the lock is secure when the power is down, the connections on
J12 should be physically moved to the normally open connections on the relay in preference to a
software configuration. However, the relay state can be inverted using the Devices, Configuration,
Relay 0 normally open. The same applies to Relay 1.

A DIU lock output cannot be inverted using software settings.

or Normally ON becomes Normally OFF. Note: the physical state of the output changes, and can
be checked using a multi metre.
INPUT LEVEL

Inverts the state of the inputs, e.g. Normally OPEN becomes Normally Closed. Note: The logic
state (or perceived state) of the input changes. AC2000 does not have control over the actual input
device.
SECOND SWIPE ACTION

GLOBAL PIN
Current Element Value - Enter a PIN number for this reader. Global PIN means the same PIN
number will be used by all for access during a PIN only Timezone. Each reader can have a
different Global PIN.
DATABASE SIZE
Select Card Number, Timezone, Status and PIN (25000 card records approx.) as the offline database
mode to be used with the S610S. CEM recommend this option if 25,000 card holders easily covers
your site requirements. Only select Card Number (100000 card records approx.) if the memory on
the Master reader becomes exhausted. If so, a compromise is required, this situation is rare.
Selecting Card Number only means for example; If the reader is Off Line, a card holder will be able
to get access outside of their Timezone.

6.4 Access control using PIN Only

Set PIN Only Time Zone if no card swipe is required for a period. For example set a Global PIN of
“5678” and a PIN Only Timezone between 9-5 Mon to Sat, and enforce a card swipe outside of that
Time Zone.
This means any person can enter using the PIN between 9-5 but a card is needed after hours.
Outside the 9-5 MON-FRI Timezone a card holder must swipe their card and enter their private
PIN

During 9-5 MON-FRI only the global PIN is required to gain access.

26
S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

Card only time zone - Where a reader has had it’s keypad enabled, use this option to set card only
action if you do not require card holders to enter a PIN for a period. Use an existing Time Zone
period or create a new one. Use the AC2000 workstation application, Time Zones.

WHAT IF THE READER IS OFFLINE ?
The settings described above are also stored on the reader, so if a reader becomes off line, the time
zone operations will remain in place, and access control continues as programmed. If Door
Override is configured to open a door for a set Timezone then the door will continue to unlock
when the reader is off line. A broadcast to open a door, while a reader is off line will fail.
For PIN ONLY see paragraph 7.7 PIN Only, in this manual.
For options to separate Master and Exit PIN requirements see 7.8, Extended Timezone
configuration.

6.6 Extended Timezone configuration

Introduced to the S600S reader firmware version1.00.034. Extended time zone allows access
control between Master and Exit reader to differ according to Timezone settings. It is not possible
to have different time zones applied to each Master and Exit reader.
For example: between 9am to 5pm PIN only may be required to gain access at the reader, but after
hours, a CARD+PIN would be required to gain access, but to leave the area it can be always PIN
ONLY.

7 Door Modes
The S610S supports a number of door modes that determine what actions are taken when a card
transaction is made. Reader inputs, outputs, transactions and alarms may all be affected.

Press to scroll through available modes, press to OK selected mode.

DOOR MODE
Select the operational mode that the reader will use.
Door Rdr - This is the most common operational mode for interfacing the reader with door lock
circuitry.
Turnstile - Turnstile mode allows the reader to control a powered turnstile. The reader output sends
a pulse of one second or more to trigger the Turnstile equipment. For a shorter pulse see P Turnstile,
below. Anti Pass back settings are commonly utilised with Turnstile mode.
Verification 24 - Use this mode to display 24bit card details or when the reader is being used as a
Card Validation Reader, see AC2000 System Guide Personnel application.
Passenger - Allows a cardholder with special permissions to open a door for Passenger open time
using the S610S for a fixed period. Passenger door mode commonly utilises Interlocking (IP3)
either as a pair of readers or as part of a CEM Interlock PLC configuration.
P Turnstile - Pulse Turnstile mode allows the reader to control a powered turnstile triggered by a
single short pulse (0.5 Secs).
Trolley - Trolley mode allows extended Door Open times, only Special card status card holders are
allowed access. Trolley door mode commonly utilises Interlocking (IP3) either as a pair of readers
or as part of a CEM Interlock PLC configuration.
rd
Equipment Enable - Select this option if using a reader output to enable 3 party equipment.

Verification 32 - Use this mode to display 32bit card details or when the reader is being used as a
Card Validation Reader, see AC2000 System Guide Personnel application.
Desfire Verification - Use this mode to display Desfire card details or when the reader is being used
as a Card Validation Reader, see AC2000 Personnel application.
Type AE, AG, CC, CE, CG, HG, JE, JG,JK - not generally available. (Vancouver modes)

Control Post - The reader’s sole purpose is to record card transactions to the access control system.
The reader does not control any door lock or other equipment.
PIR Reader - Master Reader only is present at door. A special kind of door handle is used on the
insecure side of the door. When the handle is turned, lock power is dropped mechanically, and the
door can be opened. AC2000 will interpret the door opening as a door forced event and so a PIR
sensor, connected to the REX input (IP2) is mounted on the insecure side of a door to mask door
forced alarms, the PIR signal does not cause the lock power to drop.
Multi Badge Access – More than one card must be swiped to gain access, a maximum of five cards
can be required. The same number of cards is required on the exit reader.
Lift Reader – In this mode the reader must be connected to a CEM Lift controller such as the
S9032LC. Please refer to the CEM S9032LC installation manual for more information on Lift
Reader functions.

Passenger mode commonly works in conjunction with Interlocking to create a Valve Lobby;
Arrivals/Departure doors for example. Valve Lobby interlocking can be between a pair of
interlocked readers, or using a CEM Interlock Unit, two or more doors can be interlocked. The
master reader Interlock Input; Input 3 or Input B (if DIU is being used) must be set in the Devices
application, putting the reader into Lobby Mode.
Interlocking two readers together in passenger mode requires extra cabling.
See Passenger mode interlock – Lobby Mode Chapter 8.2 for more details on Interlocks.

7.4 Control Post mode

Simply a post where passing card holders swipe their cards, no door or other barrier is present
except perhaps a security guard.
Note: All inputs and outputs are available for GP use, i.e. Panic Button and sounder.

7.5 PIR mode

Master Reader only is present at door. A special kind of door handle is used on the insecure side of
the door. When the handle is turned, lock power is dropped mechanically, and the door can be
opened. AC2000 will normally interpret the door opening as a door forced event; so a PIR sensor,
connected to the REX input (IP2) is mounted on the unsecure side of a door to mask door forced
alarms. In this mode, the PIR signal does not cause the lock power to drop.

PIR mode input assembly, normal Request to Exit (REX) behaviour is disabled.

7.6 Passenger-staff exit mode

PASSENGER-STAFF EXIT MODE
Passenger-staff exit is the newly created door mode. This mode is based on “Passenger Mode” and
includes the new features described below. Minimum reader firmware B1.0.0.43 for S600E and
B1.0.0.49 for S600S is needed and a patch to AC2000 6.1 or earlier is needed.

INTERLOCKING
Door interlock feature is active when Reader is in Lobby mode. When “Normal input” of input-3
configuration is cleared and Reader is in Passenger-staff exit mode, Lobby mode will be
automatically activated.
As input-3 is active, when reader is interlocked, reader may disable its head and prevent any card
swipe depending on the configuration status - “No access on interlock” in Second swipe Action
(0x04).
When “No access on interlock” configuration is cleared, Reader works as described in the table
below.
Present states are listed under the Air-Bridge state column and the state that any of the three door
sets may be switched to is listed under the relevant door type column.

IDLE STATE
In the idle state all doors are closed and locked and the Air-Bridge lobby is secured. The Air-
Bridge lobby may change to either passenger access or staff access from the idle state.
STAFF ACCESS
Staff Access feature is designed to allow single person access. When reader is in the idle state, the
normal card swipe de-energises electro-magnetic door lock for door open time while the special
usage card swipe de-energises door lock for extended door open time.
These door open times are configurable.
PASSENGER ACCESS
When a special usage card is swiped during Passenger Access mode active, the option to either
Cancel or Restart the Passenger Access mode will be given. Cancelling the mode will energise
electro-magnetic door lock and make reader ready to generate the door open alarm displaying
“CLOSE DOOR !!” message on LCD. If door is not closed for a configured time, Reader will
generate the door open alarm.
Restarting the mode will re-initialise and extend the mode for the extended door open time.
REX
Using a REX which interrupts the Passenger Access mode will cancel the mode.
When Reader is in the idle state and Door mode is Standard Passenger Mode, REX will start the
Passenger Access mode de-energising door lock for the extended door open time.
When Reader is in the idle state and Door mode is Passenger-staff exit Mode, REX will work as per
a normal card swipe (door open time).

Second Swipe Action configuration

Second Swipe Action contains three special options to define the action of the card swipe during
the Passenger Access mode is ON. Note that Second Swipe Action is basically designed for a
special usage card swipe. In some cases, however, a normal card swipe will get the same effect.
RE-ENABLE MODE
Re-enable mode = 0x00
This is the default value of Second swipe action configuration.
Special usage card swipe:
When a special usage card is swiped during the Passenger Access mode, The reader displays Mode
Extension Menu [ End * Restart # ] and this will allow card holder to either Cancel or Restart the
mode.
The second card swipe doesn’t affect the Passenger Access mode until one of options is selected
and the mode is still on process counting down timer even though Mode Extension Menu is being
displayed on the LCD.
The diagram below shows a process sequence when Restart is selected.

7.7 Trolley mode

Trolley mode will allow a Staff Card holder to hold open a door for the throughput of goods
handling machines (fork-lifts for example) or other bulky items that require a secure powered door
to be held open for an extended period. An ordinary access card when swiped at a reader in Trolley
mode will be refused access, even though the reader may indicate to the contrary. This option has
been designed to restrain normal card holders accessing loading bay or outdoor concourse areas
where heavy machinery or airside airport restrictions apply. For more information on assigning
Staff Card permissions refer to the AC2000 VIPPS manual.
CONFIGURE TROLLEY MODE
Open AC2000 Devices application; select the reader from the Overview table.
From the Current configuration table select Door Mode and click Edit, select Trolley and Save.
Use Passenger Time (minutes) for time trolley door is open.
TROLLEY MODE INTERLOCKING
Trolley mode commonly works in conjunction with Interlocking. Interlocking can be between a
pair of interlocked readers or between readers and a CEM Interlock Unit, each interlock solution
requires extra cabling to be in place.

7.8 Turnstile Mode

Selecting S610S Turnstile Mode

Using the reader’s key pad enter the readers setup mode.
From the Configure menu scroll to Door mode then select either, Turnstile or P Turnstile mode.
Turnstile - Use this option unless the turnstile being used required a trigger pulse of less than
one second. In this mode LockOpenTime2 can be set by the installer. If the pulse required is less
than One Second then the installer must select Turnstile (fast pulse) mode, see below.
P Turnstile - Use this option if the turnstile being used requires a trigger pulse of less the one
second. In this mode LockOpenTime2 must be set to “0” (Zero time)
Turnstile (fast pulse) is not currently available on the EtherProx reader.

Single S610S reader – Fail Secure/Fail Safe

IMPORTANT- the labelling on the S610S and S610E series reader J12 connection, indicates the
state of the relay when the reader is powered down. When the reader is powered up the relays
change to the opposite state, therefore Normally Closed becomes OPEN.
When wiring up your turnstile to the reader outputs, always test the state of the relays to ensure the
correct output connections are made.

7.9 Equipment Enable mode

INTRODUCTION
A reader configured for equipment enable must not be used to control a door lock.
The S610S Equipment Enable door mode is used to independently control a maximum of two
external pieces of equipment e.g., check-in-desks. The control of the external equipment is provided
by the relay outputs on the S610S. One input on the S610S is available for each piece of equipment
under control to provide a feedback signal from the external equipment to the S610S. The S610S
can be configured to ignore the feedback signal during the enable period. Connecting a feedback
input is optional.

Setting Timing controls on equipment

By configuring suitable values for LockOpenTime and LockOpenTime2 equipment mode can be used
to provide either single pulse output to enable and disable external equipment or to provide a
latched output during the enable period.

Functionality
OUTPUT ACTION ON A VALID CARD SWIPE
Whenever a valid card swipe occurs on the master (slave) head the S610S will energise relay0
(relay1) for LockOpenTime seconds.
FEEDBACK FROM EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
If a feedback signal is provided from an output on the external equipment to the S600 this should be
connected to input0 (or input2 if the second relay is to be triggered) of the master reader. The
S610S will monitor this input during the LockOpenTime period to ensure that the external equipment
has in fact been enabled. If a state change occurs on the relevant input, the S610S will enable the
amber LED on the master and slave head and maintain the energised state of relay0 (relay1) for
LockOpenTime2 seconds and transmits a Equipment Enabled signal to the host controller. The
S610S is now in the Equipment Enabled state.
If no state change is detected on the relevant input the S610S transmits an Equipment Enable
Failure signal to the host controller.
If no feedback signal is provided from the external equipment the S610S will enable the amber
LED on the master and slave head and maintain the energised state of relay0 (or relay1 if head two
is being used, see figure13.5a) for LockOpenTime2 seconds and transmits a Equipment Enabled
signal to the host controller. If the S600E is not online to the host controller, all the above alarms
are stored as offline transactions.
S610S IN EQUIPMENT ENABLED STATE
Whenever a valid card swipe occurs on the read head one (or read head 2) the S600S will energise
relay0 (or relay1 if read head two is used) for LockOpenTime seconds.
If a feedback signal is provided from the external equipment to the S610 this should be connected
to input0 (input2) of the S610S. The S610S will monitor this input during the LockOpenTime period
to ensure that the external equipment has in fact been disabled. The S610S will disable the amber
LED on the master and slave head and transmit an Equipment Disabled signal to the host controller.
The S610S returns to the IDLE state. If no state change is detected on input0 (input2) the S610S
de-energises relay0 (relay1) after LockOpenTime seconds and transmits an Equipment Disabled
Failure signal to the RTC and the S610S returns to the IDLE State.

39
S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

If no feedback signal is provided from the external equipment the inputs must be disabled,
otherwise the reader will wait for a response before continuing. In the S610S will disable the
amber LED on the master and slave head, disable relay0 (relay1) and transmit a Equipment
Disabled signal to the host controller. If the S610S is not online to the host controller, all the above
alarms are stored as offline transactions.

Automatic equipment disable feature

The external equipment can be automatically disabled after a configurable period. This timeout is
initialised every time the piece of equipment is enabled. An automatic disable will occur if the piece
of external equipment is not disabled before the timeout expires. Whenever this timeout occurs, a
card usage packet will be transmitted to the host controller (the card number used to enable the
equipment will be in the packet) and the S610S will perform the functions outlined in “S610S in
EQUIPMENT ENABLED state” above. The timeout period is set by LockOpenTime2. If pulsed
operation is needed i.e., LockOpenTime2 =0, then the timeout period is set by the configurable
parameter OccupancySwipeTime (seconds).
If the S610S is offline (whenever the timeout occurs) an offline transaction with outcome code hex
1E is stored for later transmission to the host controller.

No additional Personnel/Card Holder application settings are required for a card holder to enable
equipment using an S610S reader in Equipment Enable mode.
WORKSTATION APPLICATION – ACCESS LEVELS
Any S610S reader set to Enable Equipment mode must be placed into an Access Level.
Any card holder enabling controlled equipment must be a member of that Access Level.

Equipment Mode; Input configuration

Any Equipment Enable reader inputs used will be set to Normal. See Chapters 12 and 13 of this
manual. If not used inputs 0 and 2 must be disabled.

S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

Alarm Configuration
Any Alarm required for notification on an Alarm Event Display (AED) as a result of an Equipment
Enable reader input changing state will have to be setup in an AC2000 workstation application
Alarm configuration.

7.10 Multiple badge access

Multiple badge access, or No Lone Zone, allows the reader to be configured to require more than
one valid card transaction, before access is granted. The purpose is to deny individuals being alone
in restricted or highly secure areas, and to ensure persons can only enter or exit the area when
escorting each other. Two or more different valid card transactions are required, up to a maximum
of five. The biometric S610F fingerprint reader also supports this configuration. Reader firmware
version B1.00.030 or higher is needed.
Two configurations are required:
AC2000 Device application: select the reader, then configured > other> multi swipe mode
1. Set the number of different valid cards required to allow access
2. Set the time allowed for all the required entry or exit transactions to take place.
When the time allowed is set to 0 Multiple Badge Access is turned OFF, i.e. the reader will release
the lock with a single card swipe.
Where an Exit reader is fitted the rule applies to that also. If two cards are swiped and one person
leaves the area, the other person will be unable to leave on their own. To open the door it will
require two different transactions on the “Entry” reader to release the person on the secure side.

S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

8 Interlock
8.1 Interlock in Door Mode
Interlock in door mode enables the second output Relay (Relay1) on the reader to be usefully
activated; the output is used to notify another reader, logic control device or interlock controller the
door is active. Options like, Special Cards, REX and Oneshot can apply. This mode can not be
selected from the Door Mode option table. The following settings need to be made. This mode is
supported on Firmware version B1.00.042 or later. For Passenger Mode interlocking, consult the
paragraphs on Passenger Mode interlocking in this manual.
TO APPLY INTERLOCK IN DOOR MODE
Use the workstation Devices application to configure the reader settings. When two readers are
joined to create a “mantrap” or “airlock” both readers must be configured.

Configure the reader’s interlock input

Select the reader from the Devices > Configuration > Inputs
1. Edit Input 3 (or IPB if DIU present) and ensure Normal setting is clear.
When input 3 (or IPB) is in the open condition the reader will be interlocked and all card
transactions will be denied. Oneshot and REX commands will be allowed.

Configure the reader’s interlock output

2. Edit Configuration > Other > Second Swipe Action check No Access on Interlock.
If checked, Oneshot & REX commands to this Master reader and Slave will be denied.
3. Edit Configuration > Other > Second Swipe Action check Disable Special Door Mode.
Place a check to disable door open for Passenger Time. If this check is clear, a Special card used at
the door will cause the door to be open for Passenger time. Use the dropdown box to select Re-
Enable mode if you want a second card swipe to restart Passenger Time; select Disable Mode if you
want a second card swipe to end Passenger Time early.
Times: The interlock output will be active for the duration of:-
LockOpenTime,+LockopenTime2+Door Close after ( or Passenger Time if enabled) .
Select the reader from the Devices > Configuration > Times and edit according to your needs.

Configuring Interlock Input IP 3, or IPB (if DIU)

An interlock input signal from the other door’s second door position sensor must terminate at Input
3 or Input B (if DIU is being used). Only two readers can be interlocked in this way, for larger
interlock zones with more than two readers a CEM PLC Interlock device must be used.
A CEM Interlock PLC device will be connected to all the readers in the interlock zone, and will use
input 3.
Using an AC2000 workstation, open the Devices application and locate the required reader, expand
the reader options. From the Input Table select Input 3, (or Input B if a DIU is present as the software
will have renamed that contact on the reader) click on Edit.
Ensure the Normal input option is clear or unchecked; exit edit mode and close the Devices
application for the new setting to take effect.

43
S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

8.2 Passenger mode interlock – Lobby Mode

Passenger mode interlock is called Lobby Mode. It is recommended to install a CEM Valve Lobby
Controller, though it is possible to create interlocking in Passenger Mode without one.

Without a Valve Lobby Controller

Using the AC2000 Devices application first set the S610S reader to door mode.
Next configure the Inter lock IP3 (or IPB if DIU present) by removing the Normal setting.
See the paragraph above, Configuring Interlock Input IP 3, or IPB (if DIU).
Wire the two master readers to be interlocked as shown below.
IMPORTANT
Normally the interlock Input (IP3) is CLOSED; the Input going OPEN will create the interlocked
condition on the local reader. Note the S610S and S610E relays change state when the reader is
powered ON.

The relays on the S610S change state when powered up.

The relays on the S610S change state when powered up. Therefore NO (Normally Open) becomes
CLOSED, going OPEN when triggered.

No access on interlock
Devices application: Configuration > Second swipe action > No access on interlock – this will prevent
Staff card holder access while the door is interlocked in Passenger Mode. Passenger Mode
interlocking normally allows Staff card holders to pass through the door.
One-shot and the REX input will also be disabled while the door is interlocked.

With a Valve Lobby Controller

A Valve Lobby Controller is a pre-programmed PLC two door interlock controller, available from
CEM. Please consult the CEM Valve Lobby Controller manual.
Other pre-programmed PLC units are available from CEM for more complex interlocking
requirements.
Make relay 0 active – This setting only applied to readers in Passenger Mode. Normally Relay1
changes state when the Door is opened in Passenger Mode. This setting changes that from Relay 1
over to Relay 0.
Don’t end mode on close – Normally when a door is closed the Door Position sensor changes state
and that causes a Door cycle to halt and the door to be locked. Another valid card swipe will be
required to open the door again. Use this setting if you have “swinging” doors, and want Door
Open Time or Passenger Mode to run until timeout before the door locks again. A second swipe
action will cause the doors to lock

9.3 Input/output Mapping

Input mapping enables a local input to activate a local output. This option is typically used when a
local sounder or flashing light is needed for an alarm condition.

Mapping an input to an output

Open the AC2000 Devices application and expand the Overview table. Locate the Reader from the
table and expand its options. Select Configuration.
Use the Device Configuration, Inputs tab and select the input to be mapped to an output.
After selecting the input, click Edit, then select from the dropdown dialog the output needed.
Remember to clear the Local output disabled box. For other options, see below.

Select an Output, and then enable it.

INPUT – OUTPUT MAP

The Input-Output Map option box offers possible output options. If you select an Input the settings
can be viewed or edited. This dialog is most often used to enable Normal input, to trigger a relay or
to map an input to trigger a sounder attached to the DIU. Output options are listed in the dropdown
list (see fig: 8.1c below).
Pulse output – causes the output signal to pulse at 1Hz, e.g. If output is LED it will flash on/off when
triggered.
Remote output disabled – If this option is checked alarms will not be passed to the RTC, and
consequently not recorded by the Access Control system
4 State – Used to enable input monitoring: Open, Closed, Tamper Short and tamper Cut. If this
option is selected, cable tampering of ‘short’ and ‘cut’ will also be detected. Different types of
tamper are not distinguished, but simply reported as tamper. This option is only valid if resistors
have been added to the input cable. See Appendix 16.4 of this manual for information on
resistor/cable configuration.
Invert output – Inverts the out put state. E.g. if your LED is normally OFF going ON, then the LED
will be ON going OFF when the output is triggered.
Normal input – If checked the Normal input is available as a normal or general purpose input.
If this input setting is unchecked then the input is reserved by the AC2000 system.
Local output disabled – Disables the output selected in the drop down box. Clear this option if
mapping to a local output.
No Debounce – For example, if a door slams the door may bounce open again before finally closing
firmly. The first time the door closes will be reported by the system as door closed, if No Debounce
is checked the second time or bounce will set off a door forced alarm. Leaving No Debounce clear
allows the default debounce time configuration to function.
For more information on configuring Devices on an AC2000 system please see the AC2000
Devices online help or manual.

9.4 Configuring a spare Output Relay

Note: AC2000 software writers refer to relays 0 and 1, but CEM hardware designers often label
relays1 and 2, as on the S610EP PCB. If a DIU is present the Lock Relay on the DIU backplane

46
S610S Manual - Hardware Installer Manual - Version 1.8

will be Relay 0. The readers then provide up to four additional spare relays, one and two on the
master, numbers three and four on the exit.
Ensure all related relay cabling requirements have been met. A GP or general purpose input can be
configured to trigger a relay switch, which can be wired to a sounder or a light for example.

Mapping an input signal to a relay switch.

Ensure Local output disabled is unchecked.

Connecting a Sounder.
If a S600S reader is part of an interlock system, the second relay on the Master reader may be used
to emit an interlock signal. A sounder can be connected to relays on an Exit reader.

Sounder connected to a spare relay

Access Levels
For an S610S reader to function as part of an AC200 Access control system it is necessary to add
the reader to a Group of readers that are part of an Access Level.
A Valid Card swiped on a reader that is NOT in any Access level will cause
the LDC to display WRONG ZONE.

10.7 Adjusting optical Tamper Thresholds

Firmware revision B1.00.018 onwards.
This allows the installer to set a low and high threshold for tamper.
The lower threshold (set in the Tamper Low menu) should be set
while the unit is mounted properly on its case or enclosure.
The upper threshold should be set so that it doesn’t trigger while on the case.
In the setup menus enter, Configure -> Local settings -> Tamper Values

TAMPER LOW
The LCD will show:
The number in the brackets is the current light level being monitored. The brighter the ambient
conditions the higher the number.
Cur shows the current value the sensor is configured too.
Xxx is the field where the new value ca be entered. A leading 0 is necessary if only two digits are to
be entered e.g. to enter a value of 8 press 008 then to OK.
The low tamper value is the normal light conditions in the closed case used to reset the sensor after
it has been triggered.
TAMPER HIGH
The LCD will show:
The number in the brackets is the current light level being monitored. The brighter the ambient
conditions the higher the number.
Cur shows the current value the sensor is configured too.
Xxx is the field where the new value can be entered. A leading 0 is necessary if only two digits are
to be entered e.g. to enter a value of 8 press 008 then to OK.
The high tamper value is the amount of light needed to trigger a tamper alarm. This can be
compared to the value in the brackets which is a snapshot of the light level when the Tamper High
config is selected.

10.8 Disable diagnostic mode pin

On and AC2000 workstation using the Devices application, select a configured S610S reader, select
Configuration, from the Device Configuration table select Element Diagnostic PIN as shown below.
Click on the Edit button and set the value to -1. This will disable any access to diagnostic mode
from the reader. If an S610S has the value10000 change this to -1 to keep diagnostic mode
disabled, or to another value to enable diagnostic mode.

10.9 Updating Firmware

Firmware upgrades, or defrosting, can be carried out in different ways depending on the software
you are using and the operational constraints existing on your system.
Normally the AC2000 web configuration tool is used to download a firmware update to a selected
S600E reader. The reader must already be configured using the AC2000 workstation Devices
application, and must be online to receive the new firmware.

AC000 web configuration tool

You will be prompted for a User name and Password, the User must have Authorisation Level 4.
Ensure you have the upgrade *.dat file available.

Select Upload Firmware, and browse to the firmware *.dat file. When the upgrade file has been
uploaded select the firmware from the options list and select the reader to be upgraded.
Click Upgrade Firmware button. Note: Access Control at the door will stop while the reader is
being upgraded. Normally for an Ethernet reader this may take up to ten minutes for the reader to
receive the new configuration, reboot, and be reconfigured with the AC2000 devices application
settings. If the reader is a serial reader, connected via an ECM or a serial controller allow for up to
an hour.
Sounder activated
S600S firmware version B1.0.0xx and above will warn users that defrost is in progress by
activating card reader buzzer output.

Other options may include

• Place the upgrade file on the RTC and have the RTC upgrade all compatible devices on the
network. (Refer to your AC2000 system software manual)
• Connect upgrade equipment to the hardware and upgrade firmware directly.

Connector J5 on S610S is connected to J16 on the S400 exit reader.

11.3 CLK Air Bridge

CLK has used AC3000 system with DAC and S400 card readers to secure the Air-Bridge facility
and AC2000 system containing S610E and S610S card readers will replace AC3000 system. CLK
has requested new feature of Passenger mode to be implemented to card readers. To satisfy this new
door mode called “Passenger-Staff exit” has been created.
PASSENGER-STAFF EXIT MODE
Passenger-staff exit is the newly created door mode to support AC2000 system to be used to secure
the CLK Air-Bridge facility. This mode is mainly based on “Passenger Mode” and includes the
new features requested from CLK.
