1. REFERENCE
PP22

2. DESCRIPTION
The portable programmer (PP) is a data transporter between the main computers and
locks.

2.1. Connectors
(1) Jack connector : Make the connection with the locks to transfer or receive information
to or from them.

(2) Nine pins connector (DB9). Communicate with the HT24 systerm. The connection can
be done trough the encoder (HTCOM, ref: CB22485) for HT22 systems or trough the
Win distributor with same cable for HT24/28 systems (PC connected to the Win
distributor).

 2.2. Keypad
It switches the portable programmer ON. Also goes back to the main menu during an
operation (CLEAR function).

It switches the portable programmer OFF. The PP will also switch off automatically after
30 seconds of no operation.

Pressing this button the menu options will appear.

When a menu option is selected starts the communication with the lock.

They select the options of the menu.

3. CONNECTIONS OF THE PORTABLE PROGRAMMER

Onity Portable Programmer 6

Only for internal use
 3.1 With the locks
The connection between the PP and the locks is done with the Jack connector. The
connection is done by inserting it into the connector of the lock placed in its bottom, for
HT Locks or the bottom of the Reader Part in an Advance Lock.
To use the PP with an Advance Lock a jack adapter is necessary. See picture below:

3.2 With the computer program

The connection with the computer program (trough Win distributor) is done with the nine
pins connector (DB9) of the PP. It can be done in two ways:

1- Trough the card encoder (HT22 system)

With the connector cable HTCOM (CB22485). The cable must be connected to the
HTCOM DB9 female connector of the HT22 and DB9 female connector of the PP.

2- Trough the Win Distributor (HT24/28w system).

Using the same cable as above, connect the DB9 female connector called PP of the
Win Distributor and the DB9 female connector of the PP.

4. OPERATION
The portable programmer has a program with five options. These options can be
selected with the MENU button. The five options of the PP are the following:

1. UPDATE

Updates the codes and timetables of the locks.

2. READ OPENINGS

Take the openings recorded in each lock, and retrieve them in the computer.

3. TEST

Option to test the status of the lock. Type of lock, firmware version, door number, date
and time, checks the batteries and checks the lock switches (handle, reader, privacy)

4. INITIALISE

5. OPEN

It allows opening a lock without using a card, normally for emergency situations.

4.1. Transfer data to the programmer

necessary to transfer the data to the PP every day if it is needed. To download the data
to the Portable programmer, do the following:

1. Type the access password that allows using the maintenance menu of the HT24
program.

2. In the maintenance menu select the option Load Portable programmer

5. MAINTENANCE

5.1. Replacing the batteries

The only maintenance needed for the portable programmer is to change the batteries
when they are low.
To replace the batteries you need to remove the battery cover in the back part of the
programmer, remove the old ones and insert the new being careful to observe the
correct polarity.

Warning: The batteries contain contaminant materials for the environment. Fulfilling the
European guideline 2006/66/CE, we remark that, once the life of the batteries has
finished, they must be throw away in the qualified points for their collection o returning
them to the battery distributor. Dont throw away to the common garbage.

The PP uses four alkaline batteries of 1,5 V, type LR6 (the same batteries of the lock)
The batteries live will be up to 50 hours operating ( approximately up to 3.000 of
communications with the locks.

The advisable batteries to use are the following:

o Varta Industrial Alkaline 4006

o Energizer Industrial Alkaline 2010
o SunLight Super Alkaline
o Panasonic Plus Alkaline

To reduce the consumption of the batteries, the PP has an auto-switch off function. With
this function, the PP will turn off after 30 seconds of no operation.

The discharge of the batteries is detected when the contrast of the LCD display is falling
down.

Note: When the batteries of the PP are changed, the PP will lose the codes recorded in
its memory. Upload it again to use it.
