The AL-REMOTE KeyFob

The AL-REMOTE KeyFob is a dual infrared element device which transmits a digitally encoded infrared signal to the Power Mag. The operational range of the KeyFob is a minimum of 35 feet from the Power Mag. When used from the protected side of the door (inside), aiming the KeyFob in the general direction of the Power Mag is sufficient. However, if using the supplied light pipe to allow access from the outside, the KeyFob must be aimed at the light pipe in order to activate the Power Mag.

An indication that the batteries inside the KeyFob are low and must be replaced will be a noticeable decrease in the effective range of the KeyFob. For example, if the KeyFob range is typically 35 feet and it falls to 20 feet, this is an indication that the batteries should be replaced.

The KeyFob should not be exposed to extreme temperatures and should not be submersed in water.

Replacing the AL-REMOTE KeyFob batteries

Following is the procedure for replacing the KeyFob batteries. The replacement battery is a Duracell model DL2032. (2 required). Warning: Replace batteries only with the same type as specified above. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. Do not recharge or disassemble battery, or dispose of in fire.

1 Insert flat blade screwdriver into the slot between the key ring loops and gently twist until the case pops open.

2 Gently lift circuit board from KeyFob base to expose the battery compartment.

3 Remove old batteries. Observing polarity (+ / -), insert new batteries.

4 Place circuit board back into base over new batteries.

5 Align top of housing to base and snap together.

Programming the RR-PM1200

There are 2 modes of programming KeyFobs into the PM1200 data base. First, on initial power up the system automatically enters the Initial KeyFob Programming mode and will sequentially enroll any activated KeyFobs into the KeyFob database. The first KeyFob will be stored as 00 and the second as 01, up to the maximum of 99. The second method, Advanced Programming, is used for enrolling and deleting KeyFobs from an existing lock data base. A 16 position rotary switch and a push button located on the circuit board in the wiring bay of the Power Mag are used for advanced programming.

Initial KeyFob Programming

	Action	LED Response	Sounder Response	Comments
1	Power Up new Lock	Slow Flash	BEEP	Auto program mode entered.
2	Wait a few seconds	Rapid Flash		Ready to enroll first KeyFob.
3	Aim KeyFob at Mag lock and press and hold button.	Solid light	3 BEEPS	KeyFob enrolled as KeyFob 00
4	Release button.	Rapid Flash		Ready to enroll next KeyFob
	Repeat steps 3 and 4 to enroll additional KeyFobs which will be sequentially stored in database (01, 02, 03, 04)
When done, press and hold PGM button for 5 seconds.		Solid light if door is closed & locked	BEEPLONG BEEP	Exit Program Mode.

You MUST program at least one KeyFob into the Power Mag database in order for the lock to function properly. The PM1200 will NOT function as a stand-alone Power Mag if not programmed.

Advanced Programming

Once the Initial KeyFob enrollment has been completed, the Advanced Program Mode is used for subsequent programming of KeyFobs into the system. Advanced Programming is accomplished through a 16 position Rotary Dial Switch and a push button mounted in the Power Mag wiring compartment. The Rotary Dial and Push Button are used to set the User Number to which the keyfob is to be assigned.

• Unlock Power Mag with valid KeyFob
• Open Door
• Remove Cover from Power Mag Wiring Bay
• Locate the Rotary Dial and Push Button on the Power Mag circuit board.
• Press and Hold Power Mag push button until 1st beep.
• 1 Turn Switch to the number representing the 1st digit of the User Number to be learned.
• Press the circuit board Push Button (the sounder will beep)
• 3 Turn Switch to the number representing the 2nd digit of the User Number to be learned.
• 4 Press the circuit board Push Button (the sounder will be-bop)
• 5 Aim the KeyFob to be programmed at the Power Mag and press the KeyFob button.
  • The sounder will beep 3 times when accepted and the LED will light and stay lit.
• 6 Release the KeyFob button
  • The LED will flash rapidly if next consecutive location in database is available for next KeyFob to be enrolled, or slowly if next address is already taken.
• 7 When programming is complete, hold PGM Push button for 5 seconds to exit program mode.

Example: Enroll a KeyFob into location 92:

Sequentially Programming Additional KeyFobs

Once a KeyFob is programmed, using the advanced programming procedure described above, additional KeyFobs may be enrolled sequentially by repeating step 5 (aim additional KeyFobs at the Power Mag and press the KeyFob button) to enroll it into the next sequential location. For example, if you had just enrolled KeyFob number 42, the next one would be enrolled as 43 and the next as 44 and so on. The sounder will acknowledge each additional KeyFob as described above. To program additional KeyFobs which are not sequential, repeat steps 1 - 6 above for each KeyFob.

At any time the complete KeyFob database and option programming may be erased by holding down the push button on the Mag lock PCB for 12 seconds (at the 3rd beep). This will completely erase the KeyFob database and then place the unit into the Auto Enrollment mode described above.

⁵ steady beeps indicate that you are about to program a KeyFob over a KeyFob which is currently enrolled.

⁵ beeps ending with a low note indicate that a programming error has occurred.

System Option Programming

The RR-PM1200 can be configured to provide a variety of system options. The same method used in the Advanced programming of KeyFobs is used for the programming of system options.

• Unlock Power Mag with valid KeyFob
• Open Door
• Remove Cover from Power Mag Wiring Bay
• Locate the Rotary Dial Switch and Push Button on the Power Mag circuit board.
• Press and Hold Power Mag push button until 1st beep.
• 1 Turn Rotary Dial Switch to the character representing the 1st digit of the System Option to be programmed.
• 2 Press the circuit board Push Button (the sounder will beep)
• 3 Turn Switch to the character representing the 2nd digit of the System Option to be programmed.
• 4 Press the circuit board Push Button (the sounder will beep, followed by a three beep acknowledgment).
• 5 When programming is complete, press and hold PGM Push button for 5 seconds to exit program mode.

Advanced Features

Passage Mode

The Power Mag can be set to a Passage Mode (unlocked) state, where full access through the door is permitted. Passage Mode can be enabled only by KeyFobs mapped to addresses 90 through 99 or by the Remote Switch Input (if programmed for Passage - command BD). While these KeyFobs operate normally, granting access when the KeyFob button is pressed, they can also initiate Passage Mode through a special Hold Down feature. Passage Mode is initiated by aiming the KeyFob at the Power Mag and holding down the button for 5 seconds. The sounder will beep 3 times to acknowledge Passage Mode. To disable passage mode, aim any one of the Passage Mode enabled KeyFobs at the Power Mag and slowly press the button twice. If the KeyFob button is only pressed once, a Lock Down mode is enabled. (see Lock Down).

Lock Down Mode

Lock Down Mode allows a door in Passage Mode to be quickly locked in the event of a panic condition. A single button press from any Passage Mode authorized KeyFob while Passage Mode is active will put the door into a 3 minute Lock Down mode. Once in the Lock Down mode, ONLY the KeyFob which initiated Lock Down may be used to disable it, with another single button press, which will return the Power Mag to the standard locked mode. To insure that the door is not inadvertently opened while in Lock Down, all other KeyFobs except for the one which initiated Lock Down are disabled for the 3 minute duration.

Smart Pass

Smart Passage allows the Power Mag to automatically re-lock the door as soon as it senses that it has closed, even if the Pass Time has not expired. This will allow the lock to be programmed for the maximum Pass Time of 15 seconds (default) without the fear that an intruder will re-open the door and slip in behind a valid user. (programmable - command AD)

Door Ajar Alarm

Door Ajar Alarm will prompt the Power Mag to go into alarm if it senses that the door has been held open for 20 seconds. When in alarm, it may be silenced by closing the door. (programmable - command AB)

Remote Release

The Remote Switch Input can be programmed to allow a push of a momentary button to permit passage for the programmed Pass Time duration. (programmable - command BC)

Typical Applications

Using the Remote Switch Input as a "Request to Exit" input and configuring low voltage lighting to follow lock activity.

Required Programming:

• Enable Remote Switch Input Option: BC-Remote Release
• Set Appropriate Pass Time in Passage Options (5,10 or 15 seconds)
• Enable Appropriate Auxiliary Relay Option to activate lighting upon lock activity: (CA, CB, CD, CE and/or CF)

Operation:

• Rather that requiring the User to use the Keyfob to exit, a request to exit device such as a motion sensor or push button device may be used to initiate passage.
• Low voltage light may be configured to follow lock activity to provide lighting while door is open, during AC power failure, etc..

Using the Remote Switch Input as a door bell, interrupting power for "Request to Exit" and supervising the Power Mag for a "Door opened" condition through a dedicated zone on a burglar alarm control panel.

Required Programming:

• Enable Pass Time on Power-Up (DF)
• Set Appropriate Pass Time in Passage Options (5,10 or 15 seconds)

• The Auxiliary Relay is used to indicate a Door Opened Condition to a Burglar alarm control panel.

Typical Applications

Interfacing to an access control system to allow card reader access in addition to keyfob access.

Required Programming:

• Set Appropriate Pass Time in Passage Options (5,10 or 15 seconds) (default Pass time = 15 sec.)

Operation:

• The Access Control panel interrupts Power Mag Power upon a successful card swipe, initiating Pass Time.

Using a normally open toggle switch to provide passage mode and the Auxiliary Output to trigger a recording system to record activity only when door is opened.

Required Programming:

• Enable Passage on Remote Switch input short.(BD)
• Enable Auxiliary Relay follows door position (CE)
• Enable Chime Mode (BF)

Operation:

• The Remote Input is used with a toggle switch to activate passage Mode.
• The Auxiliary Relay is used to indicate a "Door Open" condition to a closed circuit recorder which enables it to recorder door activity only when opened.
• Chime Mode enables the Power Mag internal sounder to indicate that the door has opened.
