Reader Controller (RC-2)
Each RC-2 monitors two readers or reader/keypad units as well as eight inputs
and controls eight outputs. RBH recommends that RC-2‟s be used for dedicated
access point operation. However in certain instances inputs and outputs may be
individually configured for general I/O purposes.
The RC-2 has two sides, labeled A and B, and each side implements an
independent access point. Typically an access point includes a reader, door
contact, request to exit button and programmable outputs for lock, forced entry,
door held open and alarm shunt.
Each RC-2 includes two built in power supplies. The 1Amp reader power
supply provides both 5 and 12 volt DC power for reader devices. An additional
1Amp@12volts is available on the auxiliary power output to power other devices
such as motion detectors and warning devices. The system requires a 40 or 80
VA transformer and a rechargeable backup battery.
A separate 12/24-volt power supply is provided for powering door locks.
The RC-2 performs extensive system status monitoring and provides a high
degree of local feedback on system status for the technician. AC power, battery
voltage, reader, and auxiliary fuses are all monitored. Status LEDs indicate the
status of all inputs and outputs, AC fault, low voltage, fuse blown,
communication activity, and run information.
