Product catalog summary
CE Declaration of Conformity: The VIPER 400 electronic appliance by FAAC S.p.A. complies with several essential safety directives, including 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC. The declaration was issued in Bologna on January 1, 2000, by Managing Director A. Bassi.
Description: The VIPER 400 is an access control device managing up to 400 cards or radio codes, supporting two external readers, and featuring programmable controls for gateways and electric strikes.
Technical Specifications: It includes memory for 400 cards, connections for two readers, inputs for door status, relay outputs for door control, and an alarm output. It operates on a 12v24 Vac/dc power supply and measures 113 x 90 mm. Optional components include external memory and radio interface cards.
Electrical Connections: To reduce noise, separate card connection cables from 230V power cables and use shielded cables for reader connections, with a maximum distance of 100m.
Operating Modes: The device operates in standard, secret code setting, and programming modes, each serving different operational needs.
Programming Mode: Accessed via a secret code, this mode allows configuration of card management, operational settings, time settings, output activation, and card archive import/export.
Card Management: The system supports storing, deleting, or modifying cards, with a self-learning process for card storage and remote deletion capabilities.
Operational Settings: Users can configure gateway management, reader types, electric strike control, door status input logic, and radio functions.
Overview: The document provides instructions for configuring and managing the Viper access control system, focusing on relay outputs, magnetic readers, electric strike management, and radio functions.
1. Relay Outputs and Double Gateway Management: Relay outputs are activated for a set time upon valid card readings, with specific configurations for double gateway setups.
2. Magnetic Reader Types: Supports swipe and insertion readers, with settings adjustable based on reader type.
3. Electric Strike Management: Monitors door status and deactivates relay output upon door opening or closing to prevent unauthorized access.
4. Door Status Input: Configurable for NO or NC contact sensors to monitor door status and trigger alarms if necessary.
5. Reader Configuration: Settings for A-reader and B-reader can be adjusted, with radio function activation for double gateway management.
6. Time Settings: Activation times for outputs can be set from 0 to 255 seconds, with configurable card ignore times to prevent duplicate readings.
7. Output Activation: Outputs can be manually activated for testing or maintenance, with remaining activation time displayed.
8. Card Archive Import/Export: Card and radio code data can be exported or imported for backup or updates, excluding configuration data.
9. Total Reset: Restores default settings and deletes the card archive through specific key presses during power-up.
10. Software Version: Displayed briefly during power-up.
11. Typical Installations: Includes examples like double vehicle passageways and pedestrian gateways, both manual and automated.

VIPER 400 These instructions apply to the following model: VIPER 400 electronic appliance LAY-OUT OF VIPER CARD DIS CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Manufacturer: FAAC S.p.A. Address: Via Benini, 1 - 40069 Zola Predosa BOLOGNA - ITALIA - Declares that: The Viper 400 electronic appliance conforms to the essential safety requirements of the following directives: 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendment 93/68/EEC. 89/336/EEC and subsequent amendment 92/31/CEE and 93/68/EEC Additional information: These products underwent tests in a typical, uniform configuration (all products manufactured by FAAC S.p.A.). The Managing Director A. Bassi TABLE 1 VIPER CARD COMPONENTS Introduction: meanings of the following terms as used in these instructions: gateway->the transit area door -> the structure located at the gateway (door, barrier, gate,…) whether automated or not card -> magnetic card or transponder supplied with a code, which is read by an appropriate reader, or a radiocontrol code which is controlled just like a card by means of the connected radio receiver and radio interface. Viper is used for simple control of access, combined with one or more card readers. The card is able to control: • 1 single gateway at entry/exit • 2 separate gateways (one at entry and the other at exit) Only cards and radio codes input in the archive at programming are recognised. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS POWER •Memory capable of recognising a maximum of 400 cards or radio codes •Facility for connecting directly two external readers •Settable control of 1 gateway / 2 gateways •Settable control of electric strike •Settable control of remote control codes •3 displays with 7-segment LEDs for viewing card number and for programming •5 micro-pushbuttons for programming •Inputs: 2 for external readers (Reader A – Reader B) 1 for “door status” microswitch (NO/NC) 1 for door opening push-button (NO) •Outputs: 2 with relay (door-opening Reader A – door-opening Reader B) 1 open-collector (alarm siren) •Power supply: 12Ö24 Vac/dc •Dimensions: 113 x 90 mm •Optional external memory card for archive import/export •Optional external mixer card for connecting two readers to the same Viper input •Optional external radio interface card for managing remote control codes Fuse F1 5x20 400mA/250V delayed LED display Programming micro-pushbuttons A-Reader terminal board (IN-A) B-Reader terminal board (IN-B) Inputs terminal board (INPUT) A-relay output terminal board (OUT-A) B-relay output terminal board (OUT-B) Alarm output terminal board for open collector (ALARM) Power supply terminal board 12V 24Vac/dc (POWER) Connector for external memory card (EXT MEM) To avoid induced noise, separate the card connection cables from any 230V~ power cables and use separate sheaths. To connect the readers (max distance 100m), use a 5x0.5 shielded cable, connecting the shield to the power negative (

Data are exported to the external memory in order to have a back-up copy or to copy the archive on another Viper (see programming menu #5). Magnetic or passive card readers equipped with a Magnetic Stripe output can be connected indiscriminately. The terminal boards are designed to accept connection of an optional mixer card (to double the readers that can be connected to the input), a radio interface (to manage radiocontrols) and, subject to appropriate programming, FAAC active readers. 4.

Radio function disabled: Viper performs in the standard manner described in "S_1" Radio function activated: This function is effective only for double gateway management and is intended for use with FAAC model SLP self-learning radiocontrol. The specific radio interface connected to an input (either IN-A or IN-B will do) must be used to convert radio codes into Magnetic Stripe outputs (Viper is able to recognise these). In double gateways, a valid card will of course activate the relay output corresponding...
