1- INTRODUCTION
The INHOVA system is an access control system based on electronic cylinders and magnetic stripe card
electronic locks. Both the cylinders and the locks are completely autonomous elements that work without
a direct connection to a computer or control unit that governs them. In both elements the control unit is
built-in and works on completely standard batteries. The control unit has memory and a real-time clock.
This allows us to obtain high access control features.
As both elements are completely autonomous we can install them on any door, without any wiring and
without an expensive cost. Because they are autonomous and work without direct connection to a
computer we need a device to transfer the information from the computer to the cylinder and/or locks and
vice versa.
This device is the Portable Programmer (PP).
Portable Programmer
(PP)
Apart from being the connecting element between the computer and the cylinders and/or locks, the PP,
connected to the computer and governed from the management program of the system, is the encoder of
the user keys for the INHOVA cylinders.

To connect the Portable Programmer to the locks we use a cable with a jack type connector on
both ends.
Pgina 7 de 33
The following table shows the number of doors to load on the PP, depending on the number of users per
door:
Users/Door
50
100
200
500
The number of events that we can register from the doors also depends on the number of events that we
have stored on them. In normal mode, the portable programmer registers the latest events from each door
which have not been previously registered and stored in the PC. Supposing we have 25 new events, they
can be registered in a maximum of 2000 doors. The cylinders and/or locks have enough capacity to store
up to 1000 events (when the number of users is not above 1000). In case the doors have stored the
maximum amount of events, we will we able to register in the Portable Programmer up to a
maximum of 50 doors.
3- PORTABLE PROGRAMMER: OPERATION
We have mentioned that the portable programmer is the link between the management software of the
system, which is installed on the computer, and the electronic cylinders and/or locks. With it we can
transmit or receive information of/from the cylinders or locks, and carry out different tasks.
Obviously, to transmit information to the cylinders or locks the portable programmer must receive that
information from the computer. Therefore, the first thing to do is transmit the information of the locking
plan of the installation in question to the portable programmer.
Once we have transmitted the information we will be able to carry out the tasks which are described later
on.
3.1- TRANSMISSION OF DATA TO THE PORTABLE PROGRAMMER
To transmit the locking plan of the installation to the Portable Programmer we connect it to the computer
with the RS-232 cable and we switch it on by pressing the ON/OFF key.
From the PP screen of the management software of the system we send the locking plan by clicking on
the button SEND DATA TO THE PP, as shown in the following picture:
Pgina 8 de 33
When clicking on the button the software creates a data file which is sent to the portable programmer. The
transmission time will depend on the amount of information we are sending.
Once we have finished with this task, the window of the PC will display a message indicating that the
information has been transmitted correctly, and then we check that the validation of data in the PP is
correct.
Once the data of the locking plan has been transmitted to the PP we can transfer that information to the
cylinders and/or locks.
For further information on how to load data on the PP see the SOFTWARE MANUAL.
3.2- SYSTEM SECURITY: AUTHORISATION KEY
For security reasons, the Authorisation Key will have to be inserted on the portable programmer when
carrying out the operations INITIALIZE, UPDATE and OPEN (which are described later) in the
cylinders and/or locks with the portable programmer.
Otherwise we will not be able to carry out any operation.
Authorisation Key
We must remember that the Authorisation Key guarantees the security of the installation, and that there is
only one key for each installation. This key is always in the hands of the person in charge of the
installation.
Pgina 9 de 33
By means of the F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 function keys we can access the different menus of the Portable
Programmer.
The menus are:
F1- PP
F2- Doors
F3- Users
F4- Register of openings
F5- Installation
Pgina 10 de 33
Therefore, in order to modify the date and time of the portable programmer we must first modify the time
on the computer and then resend the data to the portable programmer. This way the programmer will take
the new date and time.
We press X (F5 function key) to accept and go back to the main screen of the Portable Programmer.
3.4.2- Language
By choosing Language in the configuration menu with the Up and Down cursor keys and pressing we
access the Language option of the portable programmer.
On that function we can display the language being used by the portable programmer. As the Date and
Time, the Programmer takes the Language from the computer that is transmitting the data.
We press X (F5 function key) to accept and go back to the main screen of the Portable Programmer.

Pgina 11 de 33
3.4.3- Automatic
The programmer offers us the possibility to Update doors (cylinders or locks) and Pick Up Openings
automatically. This means that, when we connect the Portable Programmer to the cylinder or the lock, the
portable programmer will automatically send information (if there is any modification in the locking plan
of that door) and show the register of openings without having to do any operation in the programmer.
Both options can be carried out manually, as we explain in the following sections.
In order to access the Automatic function, we select that function with the Up or Down cursor keys on the
configuration menu and then press ENTER.
The programmer will ask the following question:
Do you want to update doors automatically?
To answer YES, press (F4 function key), and to answer NO press X (F5 function key).
Once we have chosen the option above (Update), the portable Programmer will ask us whether we want
to Pick Up the Openings automatically:
Do you want to pick up openings automatically?
Like in the previous option, to answer YES press F4 function key), and to answer No press X (F5
function key).
Pgina 12 de 33
Once we have selected the option above we go back to the main screen of the Portable Programmer.
If the answer to the automatic updating has been positive the symbol of the doors will be displayed on the
top right corner of the main screen, and if it is negative the symbol will not be displayed.
If the answer to the automatic pick-up has been positive the symbol of the openings will be displayed.
3.4.4- Version
By selecting the Version function of the configuration menu with the Up or Down cursor keys and
pressing ENTER, the portable programmer shows us its manufacture version.
We press X (F5 function key) to accept and go back to the main screen of the Portable Programmer.
Pgina 13 de 33
Update
Initialize
Open
Test
To carry out the functions Update, Initialize and Open successfully the Authorisation Key of the
installation must be inserted on the Portable Programmer. If we try to do any of these operations without
inserting the Authorisation Key on the PP we will see an Error message such as the one in the following
picture:
3.5.1- Update
The Update function is used when we need to transfer changes made in the locking plan of a door to a
cylinder or lock. That is, it is a cylinder or lock that has already been initialized and therefore belongs
to the installation.
Once we have made the necessary changes in the management software we send the data to the portable
programmer. From there they are transmitted to the cylinder or lock by means of the Update function.
Pgina 14 de 33
Hence, with the authorisation key inserted on the Portable Programmer and the programmer connected to
the cylinder or lock,
We press ENTER to carry out the updating. As the cylinders or locks have already been initialized and
therefore registered in the installation, the PP will recognize which door it is and immediately update it.
The screen of the programmer will be:
Once the portable programmer finishes the operation we see the following screen:
We press X (F5 function key) to accept and go back to the main menu of the Portable Programmer.
3.5.2- Initialize
Initializing a cylinder or a lock consists of assigning that cylinder or lock to a door of the installation and
transmitting it all the information concerning its locking plan.
When a cylinder is initialized it loses all the information it may have stored. If it is a cylinder or lock in
the initial state (as they are supplied), it will then become part of the installation.
When a cylinder or lock becomes part of an installation, it can only be initialized again with the
information of another door from the same installation. That is, once initialized we can move them from
one door to another as many times as we wish, but these doors will have to belong to the installation for
which they were initialized.
Pgina 15 de 33
We select the Initialize function of the Doors menu and press ENTER. Then we will see a screen like
the following:
That is, we arrive at a screen that shows a list of all the doors of the installation. With the Up and Down
cursor keys we select the door that we want to initialize and with the authorisation key inserted on the PP
we press ENTER to start initializing.
Once this is done, we obtain a message telling us that the operation has been carried out successfully.
We press X (F5 function key) to accept and go back to the main screen of the Portable Programmer.
Pgina 16 de 33
3.5.3- Open
With the Open function we can open cylinders and locks in an emergency. With the Up and Down cursor
keys we select the Open function in the Doors menu of the portable programmer. We press ENTER and
the PP opens the door.
Once this is done we obtain a warning message telling us that the door has been opened in an emergency.
The cylinder or lock remains open for a few seconds while we carry out the operation we should carry
out. A few seconds later the cylinder or lock closes.
3.5.4- Test
With the test function of the portable programmer we can check the cylinder or the lock. On the Doors
menu of the portable programmer we select Test with the Up and Down cursor keys. With Test selected
we press ENTER and start the test.
In the case of the cylinder, the first thing that the portable programmer does is read the version of the
cylinder. Of course, the portable programmer must be connected to the cylinder by means of the
connection cable for the cylinder. We can see it in the following screen:
Pgina 17 de 33
The next step is to check the clock of the cylinder. We press ENTER and go to the next screen:
The screen indicates the name of the door with which the cylinder has been initialized, and the current
date and time of the clock.
Thus the cylinder test finishes.
In the case of the lock, added to the type of lock and the clock test we also check the operation of the
reader, the crutch key of the privacy lever, the keyboard (if the lock has one) and the warning LEDs.
The process is as follows:
From the Doors menu and with the Test option selected we press ENTER. The portable programmer will
indicate the type of lock, as in the following picture:
Pgina 18 de 33
Pressing ENTER again the portable programmer will indicate the date and time of the lock. It will also
show the name of the door with which the lock has been initialized:
Then we do the reader test and the test of the crutch key of the security lever. The portable programmer
will ask us whether we want to do that test:
To accept we press (with the F4 function key), and we press X (F5 function key) if we do not want to
do the test but go to the next test. We suppose that we press and do the test. We will see a screen like
the following:
To carry out the reader test we must insert a magnetic stripe card on the lock. If the test is correct, we will
see a circle to the left of the text Card while the card is inserted, and the text will darken, as in the
following picture:
Pgina 19 de 33
The darkened Card text means that we have ALREADY done the test.
The test of the crutch key of the lever (or privacy) is carried out by turning it 90. The security lever will
come out (this means that the lever is on the door). If it works properly, we will see a circle to the left of
the text Privacy and the text will darken.
The darkened Privacy text means that we have ALREADY done the privacy test.
The next step of the lock test is the keyboard. If the lock does not have a keyboard the portable
programmer recognizes it and displays a message like the following:
If the lock has a keyboard, we will press all the keys of the lock one by one to check that they work
properly.
The last step is the test of the warning LEDs. The portable programmer will ask us whether both LEDs
(the green one and the red one) are on.
Pgina 20 de 33
We press ENTER:
We assign an address to each reader in the installation. Every area control can govern a maximum of 30
online readers.
Pgina 21 de 33
That is, we obtain all the information of the key: the name of its user, the activation and expiry dates and
the state of the key (unauthorised key, expired key, old key etc.).
We press X with the F5 function key to accept and go back to the main screen of the portable
programmer.
To be able to read the information of the key, the locking plan of the installation must be loaded and
selected on the portable programmer. If the key does not belong to any locking plan loaded at that
moment on the portable programmer, we will get an error message like the following:
Pgina 22 de 33
Pgina 23 de 33
We select the door whose openings we want to see and press ENTER. The events will be displayed one
by one from the last to the first. We will use the Up and Down cursor keys of the portable programmer to
move from one stored event to another.
If we select the All Openings option we will unload every opening stored in the lock or cylinder. On the
contrary, if we select the Latest openings option we will only unload the latest stored events.
3.8- SITE MENU
The installation menu deals with the locking plans loaded on the portable programmer. From the
computer we can unload several locking plans to the portable programmer (depending on the size of the
memory of each of them). In this menu we will select which site we want to work with out of the ones
unloaded to the programmer, and we will configure the working method.
From the main screen of the portable programmer we will select the Site icon (F5 function key). We
will then go to the options screen:
Pgina 24 de 33
We select one of them with the Up or Down cursor keys and press ENTER. We will see the following
screen:
Here we select the desired option with the Up or Down cursor keys and accept by pressing or cancel by
pressing X.
Pgina 25 de 33
By pressing we accept and erase all the stored data, whereas by pressing X we cancel the command.
Once this is done we reach the following screen:
By pressing we accept and start the test. If we press X we cancel the test and go back to the main screen
of the PP.
The test consists of checking the correct operation of all the elements of the PP. That is:
Keyboard Test
Clock Test
Key Test
Test of the cable with the key
Test of the memory of the PP
4.1- KEYBOARD TEST
Pressing the key we start the keyboard test. The portable programmer will ask us to press all the keys
of the keyboard one by one, to check that they work properly. That is:
Pgina 26 de 33
Pgina 27 de 33
After pressing F5 we finish with the function keys and move to the cursor keys.
And finally the ON/OFF key. With this we finish the keyboard test.
If the result of the keyboard test is satisfactory we obtain the following message:
Pgina 28 de 33
We introduce an INHOVA user key in the connector and press X. If the test does not detect any problem
we will see the following message:
Added to that, the LEDs of the keys will be illuminated. We press X and go to the next TEST.
Pgina 29 de 33
Once we have inserted the connector we press X and the programmer will ask us to insert the key of the
cable, as shown in the following pictures:
Once we have inserted the key the programmer will carry out the test, giving us the following message:
Pgina 30 de 33
If we press X we cancel the operation, and the PP TEST will have finished. If we press , the PP will
erase all data stored in it and will proceed to test the memory.
If the operation has been successful we will see the following message:
We press X and finish the PP test. If the PP has not detected any fault we will see the following message:
If the PP has detected a fault in any of the tests carried out, it will tell us in which test it has detected it:
keyboard, clock, cable with the key or memory.
In that case we will have to execute the PP test again, and if the fault is detected again we will have to get
in touch with the technical service department to solve the problem detected.
