Normal, Secure, and Master Users
4. Normal, Secure, and Master Users

The controller accepts up to 500 users and provides entry via the use
of proximity cards and/or PIN codes. Each user is provided with two
code memory slots: Memory Slot 1 (Primary Code) and Memory Slot 2
(Secondary Code). For the AC-x32 models, the two memory slots can
be programmed for proximity cards, PIN codes, or a combination of
both proximity cards and PIN codes.
The way that the two memory slots are programmed determines a
user's access level and also determines the way that the unit grants
access in its three modes of operation.
There are three user levels:
 Normal User – A Normal User only has a Primary Code and is only
granted access when the unit is in Normal or Bypass mode.
 Secure User – A Secure User must have a Primary and Secondary
Code programmed; the two codes cannot be the same. The
Secure User can gain access when the unit is in any of its three
modes of operation. In Normal mode, the Secure User must use a
Primary Code to gain entry. In Secure Mode, the Secure User
must present both a Primary and Secondary Code to gain entry.
 Master User – A Master User must have both Primary and
Secondary Codes programmed with the same PIN code. The
Master User can gain access during any mode of operation by
entering the PIN code. (The Master User is convenient, but is less
secure than a Secure User.)

Modes of Operation
5. Modes of Operation
The controllers have three modes of operation:
Mode Door
 Normal mode – Mode LED is green. Green
Normal Mode is the default mode. In Normal mode, the door is

locked until a Primary Code is presented to the controller. Special
codes such as “Open Code 1” and “Open Code 2” are active in
Normal mode (see Sections 10.3 and 10.4).
Mode Door
 Bypass mode – Mode LED is orange. Orange
In Bypass mode, access to the premises is dependent on whether

the controller's Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe
Operation or for Fail Secure Operation.
When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Secure
Operation, the door is locked until the door bell button is
pressed. When the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe
Operation, the door is constantly unlocked.
Mode Door
 Secure mode – Mode LED is red. Red
Only Secure and Master Users can access the premises during the
Secure Mode. A Secure User must enter a Primary and a
Secondary Code to gain entry. After entering the Primary Code,
the Door LED flashes green for 10 seconds, during which time the
Secondary Code must be entered. A Master User only needs to
enter a PIN code once to gain entry.

Changing the Modes of Operation
6. Changing the Modes of

Operation

REX Button
7. REX Button
The REX button is used to open the door without the use of a PIN
code, and must be located inside the premises to be secured. It is
usually located in a convenient location, such as inside the door or at
a receptionist's desk. The function of the REX button depends on
whether the Lock Strike Relay is programmed for Fail Safe Operation
or for Fail Secure Operation. The door chime in the BL-D40 does not
sound when the REX button is used to open the door.
 Fail Secure Operation: From the moment the REX button is
pressed, the door remains unlocked until the Lock Strike Release
Time passes. After this time, the door is locked even if the REX
Button is not released.
 Fail Safe Operation: From the moment the REX Button is pressed,
the door remains unlocked until the REX Button is released and
the Lock Strike Release Time passes. In this case, the Lock Strike
Relay only begins its countdown once the REX Button is released.

Case and Back Tampers
8. Case and Back Tampers

If the case of the controller is opened or the controller is removed
from the wall, a tamper event is triggered and a coded tamper signal
is sent to a BL-D40, PS-x41 Series Power Supply, or PS-x42 Series
Power Supply, or to another compatible device.
If the BL-D40 External Sounder, PS-x41 Series Power Supply, or PS-x42
Series Power Supply receives a Tamper Event Signal, it activates a
siren, and if available, a strobe light. The siren time can be easily
programmed in the unit from 0 to 9 minutes.
You can clear a tamper event by entering a valid User or Open code
to open the Lock Strike Output in the current mode of operation. For
example, while in Secure mode, you cannot use the Open code to
clear the tamper event, because the Open code does not work in
Secure mode. However, you can apply a Master code or Secure code
to clear the tamper event in Secure mode.

BL-D40 External Sounder
9. BL-D40 External Sounder

The BL-D40 External Sounder is compatible with the AC-x31, AC-x32,
AC-x41, and AC-x42 series of standalone controllers. (For a more up-
to-date list of compatible products, check the Rosslare website at
www.rosslaresecurity.com.) It is designed to operate indoors and is
installed within the premises to be secured. The sounder can be
powered by a 16 VAC or a 12 to 24 VDC power supply.
The BL-D40 is capable of emitting four different types of alerts, both
audible and visual: Bell, Door Chime, Siren, and Strobe Light.
 The bell always sounds when the controller's doorbell button is
pressed.
 The door chime can be programmed to sound whenever the
controller unlocks the door (the door chime does not sound when
the REX button is used to open the door).
 The siren can be programmed to sound when the case of the
controller is opened or when the controller is removed from the
wall. The controller can also program the length of the siren in
the BL-D40.
The controller communicates with the BL-D40 using a coded
proprietary Rosslare communications protocol. This provides a more
secure link between the controller and the BL-D40. If the BLD40
receives any unrecognized codes on its communication line, or
communication between the controller and the BL-D40 are severed,
the strobe flashes repeatedly until the communication problem is
resolved.

Programming the AC-B/C/D3x
10. Programming the AC-B/C/D3x

Programming the controller is done using the unit's keypad driven
Programming Menu System.
During the manufacturing process, certain codes and settings are pre-
programmed. These settings are called the default factory settings.

Green
10.9 Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes

10.9.1 Primary Codes
 Primary Codes can only be enrolled to an empty user slot,
meaning a slot where there is no existing Primary code.
 Primary Codes must be unique, meaning that one user's Primary
Code cannot be the same as another user's Primary code.
 Primary codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such as
the Normal/Secure code or Open code.
 Users who hold a Primary code can gain entry only during Normal
mode.

10.9.2 Secondary Codes

 Secondary codes can only be enrolled to a user slot that already
has a Primary Code enrolled, but no Secondary code.
 Secondary Codes do not have to be unique, meaning that
multiple users can all hold the same Secondary code.
 Secondary codes cannot be the same as any system codes, such
as the Normal/Secure code or Open code.
 Users who hold Secondary codes can gain entry in any mode of
operation.
10.9.3 Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes
There are two methods to enroll Primary and Secondary codes:
 Standard Method
Mainly used when the user slot number for the user that you
want to program is known. You can program both Primary and
Secondary codes using the Standard method (see Section 10.9.4).
 Code Search Method
Mainly used when enrolling a user's Secondary code and the User
slot code is unknown. The Code Search method only works if a
user’s Primary code is already enrolled but the Secondary code is
not (see Section 10.9.5).
10.9.4 Enrolling Primary and Secondary Codes Using
the Standard Method
To enroll primary and secondary codes using the Standard
method:
Mode Door

3. Perform one of the following:

a. Enter a 3-digit User Slot number
between 001 and 500 to indicate
the user to whom you want to
enroll a Primary or Secondary code.
For example, the User Slot 003
represents User #3.
Mode Door
If the selected slot has no Primary
Code, the Mode LED flashes green, Green Green
indicating that the controller is
ready to accept a Primary Code.
Mode Door
If the selected slot already has a
Primary Code but no Secondary Red Green
code, the Mode LED flashes red,
indicating that the controller is
ready to accept a Secondary Code.
If the selected slot already has a Primary and Secondary Code,
you hear a long beep and the controller returns to Normal
mode.
b. Present a proximity card (AC-x32 models) or enter the 4-digit
PIN that you want to assign as the Primary or Secondary Code
for this slot number.
If the proximity card presented or PIN entered is valid, the
Mode LED stops flashing and the controller is ready for you to
enter the next 3-digit slot number (refer to Step a) that you
