Introduction
The C4 is the latest compact controller from Progeny. C4 can work alone as a combined controller
Keypad or Controller RFID reader or both. C4 can also be used with an externally connected
Keypad, Reader or Reader-Keypad. The latter allows the role of the C4 to become a programming
station or touch sensitive Request to Exit button or both.

Example Configurations
C4 Only
This is the simplest of the configurations with the C4 mounted on the outside of the access door. A
locking device and a power supply are all that need to be added to complete the system.
Depending on the locking device used, some additional items may be needed to support that
device. If the locking device is a magnet then a Green Call point is going to be required for
emergency egress and a Request to exit button to open the door from the inside.
Optional extras would be the Crystal RFID credentials (Cards or Key Fobs).
The keypad on the C4 is used for programming. Up to 200 Credentials can be added and the
access code can be from 1 to 8 digits in length.
This configuration can be used for:
•Access Code Entry
•RFID Credential Entry
•Code and Credential Entry (2 Factor Authentication)

C4 as Controller with External RFID Reader
In this configuration, the C4 controller is moved to the secure side of the access door. From this
position, it can be used for programming as before but also the RFID reader can also be used to
provide Credential IN / Credential OUT functionality.
Alternatively, the internal capacitive Request to Exit sensor can be activated. This would give
“Credential IN / Touch Switch Out”functionality.
If the locking device is a magnet then a Green Call point is going to be required for emergency
egress.
The keypad on the C4 is used for programming. Up to 200 Credentials can be added and the
access code can be from 1 to 8 digits in length.
This configuration can be used for:
•Credential Entry, Touch Button Exit
•Credential Entry, Access Code Exit
•Credential Entry, Credential Exit

C4 as Controller with External Keypad & RFID Reader
In this configuration, the C4 controller is also moved to the secure side of the access door. In this
position, it can be used for programming as before but also the RFID reader can be used to provide
Credential In / Out functionality.
Alternatively, the internal capacitive Request to Exit sensor can be activated. This would give
“Credential In / Touch Switch Out”functionality.
With the benefit of a Keypad-Reader on the outside of the door, an access code can be used for
entry as well as user credentials. This can be useful for giving access to temporary users such as
visitors. In this situation, the access code would be changed periodically. Meanwhile, everyday
users would use their RFID credentials to access the same door.
If the locking device is a magnet then a Green Call point is going to be required for emergency
egress.
The keypad on the C4 is used for programming. Up to 200 Credentials can be added and the
access code can be from 1 to 8 digits in length.
This configuration can be used for:
•Code to Enter
•Credential Entry
•Code and Credential Entry
•Access Code Exit
•Touch Button Exit
•Credential Exit

C4 as Controller with External Vandal Resistant Keypad
In this configuration, the C4 controller is also moved to the secure side of the access door. In this
position, it can be used for programming as before but also for entering the access code for “Code
In / Code Out”functionality.
Alternatively, the internal capacitive Request to Exit sensor can be activated. This would give
“Credential Ii / Touch Switch Out”functionality.
With the benefit of a Vandal-Resistant Keypad on the outside of the door, an access code can be
used for entry on doors leading from the outside in areas where the risk of damage is a concern.
If the locking device is a magnet then a Green Call point is going to be required for emergency
egress.
The keypad on the C4 is used for programming. The access code can be from 1 to 8 digits in length.
This configuration can be used for:
•Access Code Entry
•Access Code Exit
•Touch Sensitive Button Exit

Quick Start Guide
To quickly set up and test your controller follow this procedure.
Wiring
Connect the locking device to the controller. Note
if you are connecting to a magnet or any other fail
open device you will need to set the “Lock Drive
Mode”to 1. See Engineers function 14.
1. Connect the Lock
2. Connect a 12V DC supply to the controller
3. Switch on the supply
Setting the Access Code
Once all the connections are made, the following procedure will get access using an access code
7890.
1. Use the Access Code menu (see Page 14): * 6 5 4 3 2 1 * 0 1
2. Enter the new access code 7 8 9 0 #
3. Press the # key to finish.
Adding Credentials
Once all the connections are made, the following procedure will allow you to test a Credential.
1. Use the Adding Credentials menu (see Page 15): * 6 5 4 3 2 1 * 0 4
2. Now present the required Credentials to the reader one after the next.
3. Press the # key to finish.
Testing
Now test by presenting the Credential you enabled to the reader: The reader LED will turn green
and the lock output will operate for 3 seconds.
Other Quick Starts
Other quick tests you can try are:
Request to Exit
Temporarily short the RQE input to 0V. This simulates a Request to Exit Button Push and will
operate the lock output for 3 seconds
Quick Programming Tips
Key Switch
A key switch can be connected to allow quick access code change. This is very helpful if you have
to change the code on a regular basis.
User Admin Credential
The user menu functions can all be accessed using a pre-defined administration credential. This
takes the place of entering the User Menu Password. See “User Function 10” for more details
