Advanced Design
EL1300 uses the latest microcontroller, with firmware stored in Flash Memory. The firmware can be updated in-circuit through serial download from PC.

Reliable Operation
EL1300 is equipped with a real time clock backed up by a lithium battery. Time will continue to be recorded for months without any external power source. Essential equipment settings, card database and transaction database are stored in EEPROM, so that there is no loss of data during power outage, even if no battery back up is provided.

Wide Choice of Reader and Card Formats
EL1300 accepts magnetic card reader (F2F) signals and Wiegand (Data0/1) signals. A wide range of formats are catered for, such as ABA format, 26 bit Wiegand format, and free Wiegand format, where users can specify selected fields such as Card ID number and facility code.

Times Zones
EL1300 provides 10 time zones (categories), each with 8-day schedule (7 weekdays + holiday), with 2 start-stop periods assigned to each day. Up to 20 holidays can be programmed beforehand. Automatic Time Zones are provided for unlocking doors or selecting Card+PIN mode at specific periods.

Alarm Monitoring Function
Alarm monitoring functions become available when EL1300 is operated from EsonWIN32 PC software. Each EL1300 is equipped with 3 supervised inputs and 1 relay output. Since the maximum system size for EsonWIN32 is 64 doors, such a system will have 192 input points and 64 output points for alarm monitoring usage. Complex reaction sequences can be set by users from EsofWIN32. Thereafter, arming or disarming of alarm zones, and switching on or off output groups can be performed from any reader PIN keypad connected to EL1300.

Keypad Unit
EL1300 can be connected to a keypad unit (EK9S or EK6S) which provides 12 numeric keys, and 4 digits of 7-segment display. This keypad unit is used when a PIN code is required to be entered, as when EL1300 is operated in PIN Code only mode or Card+PIN mode. In addition, this keypad is used for programming when EL1300 is not connected to a PC (stand-alone mode). Where the alarm monitoring function is used, the keypad also acts as the arming, disarming and output control terminal.

Power Supply
EL1300 comes with battery-charging and a power regulation circuit. The input power requirement is 15VAC, and a lead-acid battery can be connected to the charger output. In addition, AC power failure and battery low status sensing are built-in.

Database
EL1300 provides following storage capacity :
  Transaction database - 1000 transactions can be logged.
  Card database - 1750 Cards with computed PIN or 1250 Card
    number with user-defined PIN
