SR-10K
Description
The SR-10K is a complete stand-alone access controller, using either magnetic-stripe
cards or cipher (keypad) codes for identifying valid users.
The Card Reader with Keypad and the Interface Module are the SR-10K system's
major components. Separating the door control and other interface connections not
only simplifies the installation, but it greatly improves security by placing the door strike
relay inside the protected area.
The SR-10K offers unparalleled versatiltiy in its class. The investment an installer makes
in learning the SR-10K is greatly rewaded by the number of different applications that
can be solved by the SR-10K.
And cerainly not least, unlike other strictly stand-alone access controllers, the SR-10K
supports expansion to multiple readers at a site.

Programming
A Master Card places the SR-10K into programming mode. Commands are entered via
the keypad on the SR-10K reader. In some cases the entry of user cards may also be
required. A buzzer and two bicolor LEDs provide immediate feedback to the operator.

Card Database Options
The SR-10K supports three different card database modes:
1 - RANDOM mode, supports up to 100 users (factory default):
1 - RANDOM mode, supports up to 100 users (factory default):
This mode allows the use of any magnetic stripe card with standard 'track-2' encod-
ing, such as the 'MS-SR10CC25', pre-encoded packs of 25 cards, or cards from
many other access systems, or even bank cards.
Cards are added into 'user slots' by reading the card at the time of enrollment.
Individual or a block of 'user slots' may be deactivated.

2 - BLOCK mode, supports up to 1,600 users:
This database mode requires that all cards are encoded as a set. (Block orders are
typically shipped within a week of the order). Add-on orders can specify an existing
block number and a continuation point. The activation and deactivation of block
cards may be done without the cards and may be performed either individually or in
blocks.

cards may be done without the cards and may be performed either individually or in

3 - 'FACILITY CODE' mode, there is no limit to the number of users supported,
since the SR-10K is not checking for a unique code:
This mode is useful for low security applications where access cards are already in
use. The number of leading card digits to check is configured from zero to 9 digits.
Setting the number of card digits to check to 'none' causes the SR-10K to accept
any magnetic stripe card as a valid user- also known as the ATM Mode, used to
accept 'any bank card'.
An additional setting allows the SR-10K to skip up to 15 card digits before assem-
bling the facility code. This feature is used in case the facility code does not start at
the beginning of the card.
