The ACT-430 is a keypad access control unit and display. The unit operates
with the Dual Door Controller (DDC) to provide additional security at
an entry point by requiring a user to enter a valid Personal Identification
Number (PIN) after presenting a card at the card reader. The DDC grants
access only when the card is valid and the keypad entries match the PIN
for that individual. The PIN can be four, five, or six digits in length.
The
ACT-430 uses an unmarked keypad in combination with a four-line, 80-character
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for the PIN entry. Twelve unlabeled "soft"
keys surround the LCD display. The five keys above and below the LCD are
used as number keys. The keys on each side of the LCD are for special
functions. Each time a user presents a card at the associated card reader
the LCD displays a new arrangement of number assignments to the keys.
The keys are always shown in numerical order, however each time the code
is entered, the keys rotate. The LCD has a narrow viewing angle which
keeps all but the user from seeing the information on the display panel.
This
dynamic keypad labeling makes available the following ACU-7 functions:
-
Key
assignments rotate for each usage
-
PIN may
be set to 4, 5 or 6 digits
-
Tactile
and audible feedback with each key entry
