Preparing for the Installation
Before beginning the installation process, EverAccess recommends that the user
properly prepares by gathering certain information. Proper preparation will help
ensure a smooth installation, and will save the installer time and hassle in the
long run. The following information is essential for a professional installation:
Obtain a Floor Plan
Obtain a floor plan of the building in which the access control system is to be
installed. Obtaining a floor plan helps the installer determine what components
need to be installed, and where. It also is essential in determining the length of
cable needed to connect readers to the controller. A floor plan can be a blue
print of the building, a design, or simply a drawing of the facility. Any document
showing the footprint of the building can be used. The dimensions are
important to note, especially when determining cable lengths. A floor plan may
be obtained from your local city hall.
Determining Hardware and Location
Determining which hardware to use and where it will be installed.This is the most
crucial step in the preparation stage. First, determine how many access points, or
doors, need to be managed by the access control system. These access points will
control the security of the facility, and can limit the entry and exit to and from any
given area of the building. After deciding which doors need to be controlled, the user
must also determine the level of security needed at each door. There are many ways
to manage each door, using different resources. These resources include, but are not
limited to: prox readers, mag stripe readers, relays, and request to exits. A few
common door configurations are described below:
1. One reader, basic access control
The most basic configuration involves one card reader and an electric
strike. In this configuration, a person presents a card to the reader, and is
either granted or denied access. The electric strike unlocks if the system
grants access. Another variation of this scenario involves setting the
system up to monitor whether the door is open, which allows the system
to protect against propped open doors, or doors being held open for too
long.
2. One reader, with request to exit device
Adding a request to exit device to scenario 1 allows the system to control
when to allow people to exit through a door. Request to exit devices
include buttons that a person must press in order to exit, or a motion
detector that automatically unlocks the door when a person approaches.
These devices are always installed on the secure side of the door.
7
Fig. 1.2 A Common Door Configuration with Entry Reader
3. Two readers, entry and exit access control
If additional security is needed at a particular door, or if the administrator
needs a record of the time and date that people enter AND exit a door.
Adding a second reader on the secure side of the door will require people
to present a card to exit as well as enter. This scenario provides the
added security benefit of allowing the system to control who can enter,
and who can exit. It also allows the administrator to control when
people can enter and exit.
Scenario 1 and 2 require one reader. Scenario 3 requires two. Each door module
on the EverAccess controller can control two readers. Therefore, scenarios 1
and 2 allow one door module to control two doors. Scenario 3 requires one
door module for each door. This is important to consider when choosing the
appropriate number of modules and readers.
Determining System Structure as well as the Number of Controller
and Modules
Determine how many controllers are needed, and whether an Ethernet interface
is required.
1. Each EverAccess controller can accommodate up to 8 card readers. If
the system to be installed requires more than 8 readers, additional
controllers are necessary. These controllers can be connected to the
system as described in chapter 4.
2. If one or more controller is to be installed at a different location than the
system computer is to be installed, an Ethernet interface is required to
connect over the internet. An Ethernet interface may also be used in
locations at which the controllers are installed a long distance away from
the system PC. Please refer to chapter 4 for more details on installing the
Ethernet interface.

Hardware Installation
In this chapter, after preparing for the installation, the user is ready to begin the
install. This section will describe, in general terms, how to install the hardware. Here
are the following processes:
Mount the enclosure (enclosure optional) and controller
Install and connect the card readers
Connect the electric strikes or mag locks
Connect the controller to the system computer and system reader (system
reader optional)
Mount a backup battery in the enclosure (optional)
Mounting the Enclosure and Controller
The controller is an essential part of the access control system. We recommend
mounting it in an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure (also sometimes referred
to as a panel or a can). The controller should be mounted in a location that is
convenient and easily accessible, but also secure. The controller acts as the brain of
the access control system and can be used to make changes to the database. When
choosing a location to mount the controller, choose a clean, dry location that will
allow the administrator easy access to make changes to the system, but that can be
secured from the general public. The enclosure must be mounted on a sturdy wall
using fasteners or anchors (to be provided by the installer). If you are using an
EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure there must be an AC power outlet for the
enclosure in order to power the controller. (The EverAccess EPN-871-B metal
enclosure uses a 24 V AC power supply with a built in 12 V DC converter.) In
addition, the system computer should be near the controller, so that the controller
can be connected to the PC, allowing the administrator to utilize the Flex Series
software. If the system requires additional door or alarm modules, install them in the
controller before mounting the controller in the enclosure or on the wall.
Please Note: If the controller screw holes due not line up properly with the
enclosure some filing may be needed for adjustment.

The EverAccess Controller package includes two support frames to elevate the
controller in order to make wire connections more convenient. The installation is
described in the steps below:
Step 1. Mount the two support frames on a wall or on the interior of the EverAccess
enclosure. When mounting to a wall, use the mounting template included in
the packaging to help position the holes to mount the controller on a wall. If
using the EverAccess enclosure, use the four pre-drilled holes on the back
wall of the enclosure.
Step 1 Step 2
Step 2. Mount the controller base board.
a. Place the controller base board on the support frames. Line up the four
latches on the support frames with the holes on the controller base
board. Once lined up, slide the controller base board down to secure it
in place. At this point the two screw holes on the top two corners of
the controller base board should be aligned with the corresponding
holes on the support frame.
b. Secure the controller base board to the support frames with the two
screws (provided in the controller package).
Step 3. Install and mount additional door modules or the alarm module
a. Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the
connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make sure
that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module.
b. Secure the module to the controller base board using the three screws
(provided in the module package).

Step 3
Installing a Module to Controller
EverAccess Flex series controller can hook up to 4 door modules and 1 alarm
module. Please note only ONE alarm module can be installed to the controller. Each
door module is cascaded to its left side module till the main module. The door
modules and the alarm module can be placed in any sequence. The index will follow
the same rules (refer to next subsection). The steps to install a new module are
described below:

Door Module Terminal Definition
The terminals on the door modules are classified into two groups, each of which
controls two doors and the corresponding card readers. The right side terminals
(indexed from #1~#16) control one reader, while the left side terminals (indexed
from #17~#32) are responsible for the 2
nd
reader, as shown Fig. 3.5. As described in
the “reader/door index conversion” section of the manual, the reader’s index
depends on the door module to which it is connected. For example, consider one
door module where terminals #1 ~#16 control Reader 1, and #17~#32 control
Reader 2. Table 2.3 shows the definition and wiring details for the door module
terminals. The definitions of the door module terminals are defined in the table 2.3.

4 Alarm 4 8 Alarm 8
The alarm LED has four different indications:
Light off: No alarm alert for the alarmed zone.
Light flashes slowly: The alarmed zone is in the alert delay stage.
Solid light on: The alarm alert is on for the alarmed zone
Light flashes quickly: The alarmed zone is in danger; alarm signal is input
Install and Connecting the Readers
The card readers chosen for the access control system must be mounted near each
door and connected directly to the door module(s) in the controller. Each module
can accommodate two readers. The general procedure is described below:
1. Mount each reader, following the instructions included with the reader.
Typically, this will include drilling two holes in the mounting wall, and
then using the reader mounting hardware to secure the reader to the
mounting wall.
2. Once the readers are mounted, connect them to the door module. For
wiring definitions, please see previous sections in this manual.
17
As mentioned before, every door module can control up to two card readers with the
correct wiring. The supported reader formats are EverAccess RS232 and standard
Wiegand26. For instructions on connecting each type, please refer to Fig. 2.9 (a) for
the RS232 reader connection and Fig 2.9(b) for the Wiegand reader connection. (The
terminals for the 2
nd
side of the door module are given in brackets)

Wiegand 26 Format
Figure 2.9(b) Connection to the EverAccess Reader using Wiegand Format
Numbers 19~23 signifies Reader 2 and 3~7 Signify Reader 1 Connections.
Each door module can provide +12V voltage for two card readers. Twisted cable is
recommended to connect the controller and card readers. The maximum
transmission distance between the reader and controller depends on the gauge of the
cable and the specification of the card reader. Please read the reader user manual
carefully before installing the cable for the readers.
Please Note: When installing a multi-reader system, it is strongly
recommended that all the card readers follow the same format, i.e. all
of them are EverAccess RS232 or Wiegand. Multiple formats could
present compatibility problems: a card may not be accepted by all the
card readers in the system.

Connection to Door Lock
Electric strikes and magnetic locks are used to keep doors locked unless the system
grants access or the user sets the doors to remain unlocked. The installer must supply
the electric strikes and/or magnetic locks. It is recommended that the installer follow
and keep the instructions for these locks. One strike or mag lock is required for each
door. These locks must be powered separately from the readers. The mounting
instructions for strikes and mag locks vary depending on the manufacturer and type
of lock. Please consult the instructions included with the door hardware when
installing. Once the locks are installed, follow the instructions below to connect them
to the controller.
Each door module provides an interface to two door control relays. Terminals 11
~13 are for door 1 connections and terminals 27~29 are for door 2 connections.
Terminals 12 and 28 are named common terminals (COM). Terminals 13 and 29 are
used for normally closed terminal (N.C.) locks. Terminals 11 and 27 are used for
normally open terminal (N.O.) locks.
The electrical door lock must have a separate power supply. The power supply for the
electrical door lock depends on the specification of the lock. Carefully choose the
cable connecting the door locks to fit the current draw. Two common types of
electrical door locks in the market are electric strike locks and magnetic locks. The
connection methods for these examples are shown in Fig. 2.10 and 2.11 respectively.

Connecting Power
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the positive end to the terminal 18 on the main module and the GND to
terminal 19 on the main module, as shown in Fig. 4.1.
V
V
Fig. 4.1 Connection to Power Supply
The voltage supply for EverAccess controller can handle a range of DC 9V ~18V.
The maximum current draw of the controller is 500 mA. If the backup battery is
connected to the controller, a power supply with DC15V output is required. The
power supply in the EverAccess enclosure is DC15V. In addition, the controller
provides a 12V power supply for the card readers. It should be noted that if a
controller powers multiple card readers, the current draw will be increased. The total
current draw can be calculated as below:
controllertoconnectedreadersreadercontroller
numbercurrentCurrent ×+= 500
Important Tips: The voltage supply should be located no more than 2
meters from the controller. Also, electric locks and alarm devices MUST be
powered separately. The controller’s power supply can power the controller
and modules, and the card readers, but NOT the locking hardware or alarm
devices.

Mount a Backup Battery (optional)
If the installer chooses, a backup battery may be mounted in the EverAccess
enclosure and connected to the controller to provide backup power in the event of
external power loss. Once the battery is installed, it will charge off the external power
until it is needed, at which time it will automatically be used to power the system.
Connection to Backup Battery
Connect the positive end of the backup battery to terminal 20 and the negative end of
the backup battery to terminal 21, as shown in Fig. 4.2.
Fig. 4.2 Connection to Backup Battery
If a backup battery is connected, the controller will automatically switch to backup
power in the event that the external power is lost. The backup battery will charge
while external power is being supplied.
In general, the larger the battery capacity is, the longer it can support the controller.
Roughly speaking, a 12AH battery can provide 4 hours of energy for a controller
containing 4 door modules, 1 alarm modules and 8 card readers.
Reset Controller
Before turning the power on, please double check to ensure that all the wiring and
connections are correct. In order to restore factory default settings, switch the power
on while holding down the RESET switch. The RESET switch is shown in Fig 4.3

Alarm Setting
EverAccess Flex controller is equipped with powerful alarm functions. With alarm
modules and door modules fully installed, the controller can accommodate up to 10
alarm inputs and 18 alarm outputs. At the meantime, EverAccess Flex controller also
provide very flexible configuration. Any event can be arbitrarily allocated to single or
multiple alarm outputs. Alarm components, configuration basics, and menu settings
are introduced below.
Components for Alarm
EverAccess Flex controller consists of two basic components: one main module and
one door module. User can install three more door modules and one alarm module.
These three types of module are all equipped with alarm function. The main module
has 2 alarm inputs, corresponding to fire alarm and Alarm In 0 . It has 2 alarm
outputs as well, called Main Alarm Output and Auxiliary Alarm Output respectively.
Each door module has 2 alarm outputs, which usually react to alarm events on the
corresponding door. However, it can be set to react to other alarm events as well.
Alarm outputs on the door module can connect up to 5A external alarm devices.
Alarm module has 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. 8 alarm inputs can connect to
external alarm input devices, such as PIR motion sensor, glass sensor and etc. 8 alarm
outputs can connect up to 2A external alarm devices.
The above mentioned are physical devices providing alarm function. User can freely
define the allocation of any input to any output. The following section outlines basic
concepts for events, alarm and configuration.
Alarm Configuration Basics
EverAccess Flex controller keeps tracking all events in the access control system,
either legal or illegal, either normal or abnormal, for example, the granted access, the
denied access and so on.
12345678
YYYYYYYY
CLR
48
Some events are critical which must trigger the alarm output, like the firm alarm input,
the zone alarm input and etc. But some events are not that important to trigger the
alarm output, like the denied access due to the invalid time. These settings all depend
on the users’ requirements. EFC-02 controller collects all events that might trigger the
alarm output and provides the full capacity to enable or disable the alarm output on
these events.
Sometimes user wishes to allocate a particular event to a particular alarm output, or
allocate alarm inputs in certain area to multiple alarm outputs. EFC-02 controller
delivers all the function and flexibility user need. User can define whether certain
event will trigger an alarm, and can further specify to which alarm output that event is
allocated.
All events that might trigger an alarm are listed below:
Fire alarm, zone alarm 1~8, unknown card, expired card, invalid card, invalid door,
invalid time, card anti-pass back fail, card PIN fail, SYS PIN fail, ARM PIN fail, door
forced open, door held open, reader lost, Alarm In 0 and remote alarm
All these events can be allocated to any alarm relay output on main module, door
module, and alarm module. The detailed configuration method is introduced in the
following section.
Enter Alarm Setting Menu
Under System menu, press
fours times to bring up the following window:
Press
ENT
to enter Alarm Setting menu. Use

Alarm Action Setting menu is used to configure alarm outputs of all events on main
module and door module. The submenu for arm zone events will not appear if no
alarm module is installed.
Extended Alarm Setting menu is used to configure alarm outputs of all events on
alarm module. This menu will not appear if no alarm module is installed.
Alarm Time Setting is used to configure the time period of alarm outputs.
Enter Alarm Action Setting Sub-menu
The following window appears after entering the Alarm Setting menu:
Press
ENT
to enter Alarm Action Setting menu. The first submenu is for fire alarm
outputs. Use
and
to choose from different alarm menus for different
events. Alarm output configuration for all events is basically the same. As an example,
alarm output configuration for invalid card event is introduced below. The figure
below shows the menu interface:
The upper line indicates the card to be configured, i.e., invalid card. The first 8
characters of the lower line are alarm output status of this event on the door module,
while the 2 characters following the minus sign are alarm output status on the Main
alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on the main module. Y indicates there is
alarm output (relay energized) and N indicates there is no alarm output (relay not
energized). R refers specifically to alarm output relay on the door module, indicating
that alarm output will be generated only if the event occurs on the corresponding
door.
In the above example, the alarm output relay on door #1 will be energized if and only
if the access request on door #1 is denied due to the invalid card event. On the
contrary, the alarm output relay on door #8 will be energized as long as an invalid
card event occurs. For alarm output relay on door #2~7, no alarm output will be
generated due to the invalid card event. The NN following the minus sign indicates
no alarm output from the Main alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on main
module when an invalid card event occurs.
In this menu, press numeric key 1~8 to toggle the alarm output status of this event
on the door module among Y, N, and R. Press numeric key 9,0 to toggle the alarm
output status of this event on the Main alarm output and Auxiliary alarm output on
the main module between Y and N.

Arm/Disarm the System using a Reader
The whole system can also be armed and disarmed using a keypad reader. (The
reader must have an integrated keypad, and the keypad and system reader settings
must be enabled on the controller in order to utilize this feature. Please refer to
subsection “Reader Setting” for instructions on enabling these features.) The part
number for the EverAccess keypad reader is ERK-871.
The user must first enter a command to get into the arm operation mode. (The
command is introduced in step 1 below.) In the arm operation mode, the yellow
LED on the ERK-871 will show the four different system modes outlined below:
Yellow LED Status System ARM Status
OFF Indicates that the system is disarmed
ON Indicates that the system is armed
Flashing Slowly Indicates that the system is in arm delay period
Flashing Quickly Indicates that the system is armed and some alarm
input has triggered the alarm output.
The steps to arm or disarm the system at a keypad reader are as follows:
1. Press
followed by the 6-pin ARM PIN. Press
again
2. The reader is now in the arm operation mode.
3. If the system is in disarmed mode (the yellow LED is OFF), press to
arm the system. The system will enter the arm delay period (the yellow LED
will slowly flash).
Note: The system will not enter the arm delay period, if an alarm input is
active when the user attempts to arm the system. In other words, after
is pressed, if the yellow LED remains off, the system cannot
enter the arm delay period because an alarm input is active.
If the system is in armed mode (the yellow LED is ON) or in the arm delay
period (the yellow LED is flashing slowly), press to disarm the system.
Then the system will enter the disarmed mode (the yellow LED will be off).
If the system is in alarm triggered mode (the yellow LED is flashing quickly),
press to clear the alarm. Then the system will get into the armed mode
(the yellow LED will be on)

Software Setup
Please Note: This is a brief instruction on EverAccess Flex Series Software for
a more detailed instruction guide please refer to the EverAccess Flex Series
Software Manual.
The next step after hardware installation is to configure the whole access control
system. Flex series controller has the ability to allow users configure the basic setting
through the keypad on the controller. But for the detailed, complicated settings, we
recommend to use the management software. To configure the system in software,
several major steps that you need to follow are shown as below:
1. Install the software in the control computer
2. Setup the user accounts who will use the software
3. Configure the controller and all other hardware settings
4. Configure the holidays, access group and the door control schedule
5. Enroll the cards and set the cardholders’ properties
Install the Software in the Control Computer
Just like installing any other software in the computer, inserts the software installation
CD into the CDROM, and run the setup program. Choose a special installation
folder if needed, otherwise just follow the setup wizard and choose the default
selection.
To run the software, you need the administrator privilege and the basic computer
requirement is as follows:
1. Pentium 3 CPU
2. Windows 2K, XP
3. 100M bytes free space in hard drive
4. 128M memory
For the details of the software installation and the minimum computer requirement,
please refer to the software manual.

Setup the User Accounts for the Software
A
User
of Flex series access control software is a person who operates the software
at any user interface. Each user belongs to a certain authority group. The authority
group defines the authority level of users over the operations in the software.
Different authority groups have the different access to the operations in the software.
The first step to use the software is to setup a user list that defines who will be able to
use the software, and assign the authority group to each user. This user name and the
password will be required to login the software.
Please note that a user in admin group is required to configure all the other settings.
For the details to setup a user account, please refer to the software manual.
Configure the Controller and All Other Hardware
In this step, users need to set all the configurations for the controllers, doors, readers
and alarms. All these configurations are closely related to the hardware. The rough
sub steps are as below:
1. Add a controller to the system
Go to the controller configuration dialog box in the software. Click the ‘add
button, give the RS485 address for the controller, set the serial port for the
controller and click the submit button to connect a controller.
If the wiring is correct and the address of the controller is valid, the software
should be able to find the controller and show the status of the controller as
‘online. This indicates that the controller has been added to the system.
2. Configure the door settings
Door name, door open time and door held open time should be configured
in this step.
Door name is used to help users remember the door location and help make
the configuration process easier.
Door open time defines the amount of time that the door can remain open
after the door is unlocked, before an alarm is generated by the controller.
For more detailed information on door settings, please refer to the chapter in
this manual entitled “controller functionality and configuration”.
3. Configure the reader settings
Users can configure the following properties of the readers: the reader-to-
door allocation, the keypad reader and the system reader. For the more
details about the reader settings, please refer to chapter 6.
63
On the EFC-02, readers can be allocated to different doors, and can be set as
ENTER only or EXIT only. So set these properties following the system
access control plan.
Keypad Settings define whether the reader is a keypad reader.
The System Reader can be used to acquire the card’s serial number easily and
conveniently.
4. Configure the alarm settings
All of the alarm inputs can be assigned to the different alarm outputs. Also
users can set the events that can trigger alarm outputs.
Configure the Holidays, Access Group and Door Control Schedule
At this step, users will configure the holidays, access groups and the door control
schedule.
1. Configure the holidays
Users can add or delete holidays in the software. Beside holidays, two
additional types of dates are supplied in the system. Different access rules can
be applied to different dates.
2. Configure the access groups
An access group defines a group of cardholders who share the same access
rules at the associated access points and at specified times. Set the access rules
for the access group here. And assign the cardholder to a certain access group
in the next step.
3. Configure the door control schedule
On the Flex series controller, the door can be configured as normally open,
with card, with PIN and card, which means, respectively, the door will be
remain open, a valid card has to be presented, and both a valid card and a
PIN have to be presented to require the access.
Please refer to the software manual for the details.
Enroll Cards
This will explain the steps to enroll cards in the system. There are two ways to enroll a
card:
1. Enter the card number manually.
2. Present a card at the desktop reader and the card number will be added into
the system automatically.
The properties for each card should be input at this time. The primary properties are
card holder name, PIN, forced PIN, and access group. Users can configure the
64
cardholders individually or can do batch configurations if a group of cardholders
share common properties.
