Mercury SR-10K Mag-Stripe Access System Quick Start and Configuration Planning, Lost Master Card

Quick Start and Configuration Planning

Quick Start

The factory default setting enables the SR-10K to be used immediately, without any further programming, using the 10 cards shipped with the unit. The database is set to Random Mode, and the cards are enrolled as Level 1 users in slots 01 through 10.

Additional cards are enrolled using Command 10, and Cipher codes may be added using Command 15. Command 32 sets the door strike relay pulse time.

Configuration Planning

The most important selections are the Card Database Mode and the Operating Mode.

Card Database Mode Selection (Command 93)

The 'Random' Database Mode offers great versatility because it allows the use of just about any magnetic stripe card. Leave the SR-10K in this mode if the number of users will not exceed 100.

On the other hand, select the 'Block' Card Database Mode right away if the number of users may exceed 100, because changing database modes deletes all current entries.

Operating Mode Selection (Command 95)

Select the operating mode best suited to the particular site by evaluating the User Level functions, the input and auxiliary output functions of each available operating mode. The selected operating mode determines the installation wiring details and User Level assignment.

Lost Master Card

Follow the steps outlined below to set a new Master Card in case the current Master Card is lost:

-remove power from the SR-10K

-install the jumper in position 8

-apply power for a few seconds, then remove it

-remove the jumper from position 8

-apply power to the SR-10K: the old Master Card has been erased!

-add the Master Card using Command 91

(With no valid Master Card, the SR-10K remains in the Programming Mode with the lower LED set to amber, until a Master Card is set. In fact, only Command 91 is accepted until the new Master Card is set.)

Interpreting the LED and Buzzer Indicators

Normal operation - the upper LED is ON steady red or green:

The lower LED flashes green briefly following the entry of a valid card or ciper code. A red flash along with three short beeps indicate an invalid entry attempt.

Programming mode - the lower LED is ON steady green (amber if no Master Card)

The upper LED is OFF if the SR-10K is ready for a new command (wait for '*' key)

The upper LED flashes red while waiting for keypad data entry, and is flashing green while waiting for card entry.

A single beep echoes a key entry, a double beep indicates the completion of a 'field' (each line on the command spec section is a field). Three beeps indicate an error condition. A long beep indicates proper completion of a command.
