1) Introduction

What is the Door Control Unit, or DCU?

The AKCP Door Control Unit is an IP based access controller. Each DCU can control 1

door. User access rights and schedules are programmable through the AKCess Pro

Server software. It is scalable, flexible and fully integrated with our diverse product range.

With multiple DCU‟s it is possible to monitor and control access for hundreds or

thousands of doors. Being IP based also means that it is suitable for deployment in a

multisite situation where there are several buildings city, country or worldwide that require

centralized access control management.

Combine the DCU with the CCU or Cabinet Control Unit and control the access for up to

50 server cabinets. See the separate CCU user manual for more information on the CCU.

Please note that the DCU is a stand-alone base unit and does not need to be connected

to any other units to function. However The AKCess Pro Server software plays a key role

in the overall operation of the management system and must be used. Please see the

separate manuals for setting up the access control or other operational details regarding

these products.

Please also note that the DCU does have its own firmware imbedded in the unit just like

the securityProbe 5ES and 5ESV base units. The DCU‟s firmware is updated in the same

fashion as the 5ES and 5ESV units. Please refer to securityProbe base unit firmware

update manual.

AKCP has prided itself on the only company in the world to bring low cost, easy to use

complete access control, CCTV security, environmental and power monitoring solutions

to market.

How to use this manual

This manual is meant to provide the user with a step by step guide on how to configure

5) Installation

Important Note: It is highly suggested that a professional locksmith or lock installer be used

when installing the locks and other access control equipment.

Fail Safe Type Locks

The Fail Safe type locks would be used in office buildings or where you would not want

the doors to remain locked if the power is cut.

A) Overview and Installing the door locks

Electromagnetic Type Door Locks or EM Locks (Fail Safe Type)

Overview

An electromagnetic lock, magnetic lock, or maglock is a locking device that consists of an

electromagnet and an armature plate. By attaching the electromagnet to the door frame

and the armature plate to the door, a current passing through the electromagnet attracts

the armature plate, holding the door shut.

Unlike an electric strike a magnetic lock has no interconnecting parts and is therefore not

suitable for high security applications because it is possible to bypass the lock by

disrupting the power supply. Nevertheless, the strength of the AKCess Pro magnetic

locks compares well with that of conventional door locks and they cost less than

conventional light bulbs to operate.

We highly recommend using a dedicated UPS to provide backup power to the DCU and

to the EM door locks so that in case of a power interruption the doors will remain locked

and your security is retained.

Technical comparison

Magnetic locks possess a number of advantages over conventional locks and electric

strikes. For example, their durability and quick operation can make them valuable in a

high-traffic office environment where electronic authentication is necessary.

Advantages

Easy to install: Magnetic locks are generally easier to install than other locks since

there are no interconnecting parts.

Door Control Unit User Manual

Updated until firmware 404p - 9 -

Quick to operate: Magnetic locks unlock instantly when the power is cut, allowing for

quick operation in comparison to other locks.

Sturdy: Magnetic locks may also suffer less damage from multiple blows than do

conventional locks.

Installation Notes and Concerns

Always keep in mind you have to be very accurate when installing these types of EM

door locks. You must ensure that the metal armature plates are perfectly flat and aligned

against the electro magnet. Otherwise the lock will not function correctly or the doors

could be forced open easily.

We suggest the best procedure to follow when installing the locks is to mount the metal

armature plate on the door first, then close the door and position the EM on the door

frame to make sure it is perfectly aligned.

Another procedure to follow is before mounting the EM side in place, position it, power it

up and make sure it holds.

VERY Important Note: Please keep in mind that it may take up to 5 minutes for the

electromagnet to warm up after applying power to it before it will create enough current

through the loops of wire (known as a solenoid) to produce the magnetic field which will

engage the conductor and hold the armature plate in place.

Then when it is held in place with the magnetic field, mark off on the door frame where it

should be mounted and include the screw holes. Then, power it off and mount it into

place.

We found in our testing that when mounted if the magnet and metal armature plate were

not perfectly aligned then the holding power was greatly reduced and we could easily

force open the door. In some instances when installing the EM you may have to insert

washers behind the metal lock to push one or the other side out to make it flush with the

electro magnet.

ACDL01 is pre-wired for the DCU/Lock Box purpose

ACDL02 is pre-wired for the CCU purpose only, it is not strong enough for a door use

B) Wiring the DCU with card readers, finger print readers

and exit buttons.

External Lock Override

We also ship the DCU with 1 External Key Lock Override so in the event of a problem

where the door cannot be opened by a card swipe or some other reason you can use

the key switch to override the system and open the door from the outside. What this

does, it only cuts the electrical power to the door lock.

Exit Button with “Kill Switch”

The IR exit button shown in the diagram above and on the next page includes a “Kill

Switch” that must be installed along with the card or finger print reader. The Kill

Switch will override the power to the door lock allowing for quick exit in an emergency

or power failure.

Wiring Sizes and Types

CAT5/6 (Ethernet cable) can be used for all DCU and door accessories. The Door

Lock, and Infrared Exit button are pre-wired with 3 meters of cable length while the

Card Readers with 5 meters of cable length. The External Lock Override includes the

RJ-45 connector for ease of use, a length of 3 meters is recommended.

Important Note: The External Lock Override is mandatory item that must be

included when installing the access control system. AKCess Pro / AKCP will not be

responsible for any loss, damages or claims in the event this override switch is not

installed or is not installed properly.
