Select Entry Systems TEC1ACL Series Installation guide

  • Hello! I have analyzed the TEC1ACL series installer guide, which includes information about the T1A2LxxxPRMCL and T1A4LxxxPRMCL access controllers. This guide covers installation, safety, cellular setup, mounting, electrical connections, and directory programming. I’m ready to answer any questions you might have about these devices.
  • What cellular service is needed for TEC1ACL?
    Where do you apply the power to the TEC1ACL unit?
    What is the main purpose of the provided isolating transformer?
    How is grounding implemented for the TEC1ACL controller?

Pour votre sécurité, observez les recommandations suivantes lors de l'installation des
boîtiers pour le produit de la série TEC1ACL :
N'installez jamais l'équipement pendant un orage ou tout autre événement
dangereux
Ne connectez aucun câblage de courant du secteur au boîtier du produit. Ne tentez
pas de connecter le courant du secteur aux fils sortant du produit ou au boîtier lui-
même. Ne connectez au courant du secteur que le transformateur de séparation
fourni avec le produit, en suivant les instructions d'installation ci-dessous
Dans les emplacements mouillés, installez uniquement des fils et câbles
homologués pour les emplacements mouillés
Ne touchez jamais des fils ou des bornes de téléphone non isolés, sauf si la ligne
téléphonique a été déconnectée au niveau de l'interface réseau téléphonique
Suivez les pratiques d'installation recommandée par l'industrie lors de
l'installation des câbles et des fils de mise à la terre
Ne tentez pas d'utiliser le transformateur de séparation à l'alimentation électrique

1.2.2 CheckingCellularReceptionatInstallationSite
Before fully installing the product, check the cellular signal strength at the installation location by
simply applying power to the Select Cellular Module Interface (Router) “SCMI” using the
12VDC/2A transformer supplied by SES. Keep in mind your carrier coverage for the site area (AT
& T or T-Mobile factory options). You can use the SCMI internal LED indicators to check for
cellular service.
Once the SCMI has been powered up for one minute, the
“Mobile” LED (green oval) will illuminate if service is
connected and idle.
In the red box, 1, 2 and 3 vertical dashes below the LEDs
correspond to low*, medium and high signal strengths. One bar
indicated potentially unreliable service, 2 or 3 bars are
recommended.
*An optional External Antenna is available to improve reception.

The following steps show how to set a directory record (Code, Name, Phone # and PIN
for entrance 1 with 24/7 access) using the keypad. It assumes the TEC1ACL is powered
on and that the Welcome Page e.g. “Press # to View Directory” is displayed before
starting. Note that Steps 4 and 5 are included to check if PINs are enabled. Once PINs are
enabled, steps 4 and 5 can be skipped for future entries. For all other settings please refer
to “TEC1ACL Series Menus”.
