First Steps

• Ensure that the programmer drivers are installed. The drivers are generally installed automatically along with the administration software. They are also available on the accompanying installation CD.
• Connect the programming device to your PC using the accompanying USB cable (or RS 232 connection cable).
• Launch the electronic locking system administration software on your PC and follow the instructions on the screen.
• The software will then check whether a firmware update is available for your programming device.
• If there is, the update must be installed.

Note: If you are managing different systems, no transactions (data) may be open in the programming device memory when changing from one system to another.

Switching On/Off:

• To switch it on, please push the middle of the navigation switch (3).
• The start window is shown in the display.
• To switch off the device, push down on the middle of the navigation switch (3) for approx. 3 sec. The BCP-NG switches off.

Energy-saving Function:
To avoid unnecessary energy consumption during battery operations, the BCP-NG device is provided with an energy-saving function. When the device has not been operated for three minutes, a message is shown in the display (2), informing the user that the device will switch off after 40 seconds. During the last 10 seconds, an additional acoustic signal is heard.
If the device is being powered using a powerpack supply, the power saving function is disabled and the BCP-NG will not switch off automatically.

Navigation:
The navigation Switch (3) provides several directional buttons „   “, „   “, „   “, „  “ which help to make navigation through the menus and submenus easy.
The background of the selected menu will be highlighted in black. By pushing the „   “ button, the corresponding submenu is opened.
You can activate the required function by pushing the „•“ button in the middle of the navigation switch. This button simultaneously incorporates the “O.K.” function. Even if the submenu should not be visible, pushing the „  “ und „   “ buttons leads you either to the preceding or the following menu item.

Data Transmission:
You will have the possibility of connecting the BCP-NG device either with the enclosed USB cable (11), or you can use an RS232 cable (optionally available) for making a connection to a PC. Please install the drivers that are available on the supplied CD first. First, please install the drivers from the CD that has and provided. The individual settings for the interface can be found in the responding installation instructions of the software. The BCP-NG is now ready for operations.

Using the Programming Adapter On-Site:
Installation is prepared on the PC with the aid of the management software. After the required information has been transferred to the BCP-NG, connect the device to the blueChip/blueSmart components in question using the respective adapter cable.
Please note: You need the type A1 adapter for cylinders. Insert the adapter, turn it about 35°, and it will lock into position. You need to use a type A5 adapter if you are using readers and the intelligent door handle (EZK).

Menu Structure:
The menu structure includes options for programming, identifying cylinders, managing events and transactions,and  working with keys, tools, and configurations.

Cylinder	Program
	Identify
Ebents	Read out
	Display
Transactions	Open
	Error
Key	Identify
Tools	Power adapter
	Synchronise time
	Battery replacement
Configuration	Contrast
	Firmware version
	System

Setting the time of the BCP-NG:
The device contains a quartz clock, which is powered separately. The clock will thus continue to function even when the battery is flat or removed. If the time shown on the display is not correct, you can readjust it.
If you use BCBC software version 2.1 or higher, proceed as described in the software.

Application notes:

 Programming a cylinder:
Information, which has been generated in advance by using in the application software, can be transferred with this menu to the blueChip/blueSmart components, such as cylinders, readers, an EZK. Connect the BCP-NG with the component and push OK („•“).
The programming procedure is activated automatically. The various steps, including confirmation, can be monitored on the display (Figure 4.1).
Push on OK after the programming has been completed. Use the navigation buttons„   “ und „  “ to return to the main menu.

Identifying a cylinder:
If the locking system or the locking number should no longer be readable, then the cylinder, the reader or the EZK can be identified.
After the BCP-NG has been connected to the cylinder, please confirm with OK („•“). All relevant data, such as the cylinder number, the locking system number, cylinder time (for cylinders with a time feature), the number of locking operations, the cylinder name, the version number, and the number of locking operations after an replacement of the battery, are shown on the display (Figure 4.2).

By pushing the “down” button („   “), you can view additional information (Figure 4.3).

You can call up those transactions that are stored in the BCP-NG. You can choose either the open or the incorrect transactions to be indicated. Incorrect transactions are marked with an „x“ (Figure 4.4).

Transactions:
You can call up those transactions that are stored in the BCP-NG. You can choose either the open or the incorrect transactions to be indicated. Incorrect transactions are marked with an „x“ (Figure 4.4).

Key:

As with cylinders, you also have the option of identifying and assigning keys/cards.
To do so, insert the key that you wish to identify in the slot on the BCP-NG (5) or place the card on top and confirm by pressing OK („•“). The display will now show you the key’s or the card’s system number and lock number (Figure 4.5).

Events:

• The last locking transactions, so-called “events”, are stored in the cylinder, reader or EZK. This menu can be used for reading out these events and displaying them.
• To do this, the BCP-NG is connected with a cylinder, a reader or an EZK. After having confirmed the process with the „•“ button, the read-out process is activated automatically. A successful conclusion of the read-out process will be confirmed (Figure 4.6).
• Now you can view the events by selecting the menu item “Show events”. The display will then show the events that have been read out (Figure 4.7).
  The authorised locking processes are marked „   “, and the unauthorised locking attempts are marked „x“.

Tools:

This menu item contains the power adapter function, time synchronisation, and the option of logging battery replacement. The power adapter function only allows you to open doors for which you have an authorised identification medium. The BCP-NG receives information when you insert the key into the device (5) or place the card on top of the BCP-NG. To do so, use the navigation to select the “Tools” section and then select the “Power adapter” function.
Follow the different steps on the display. When you insert the adapter cable into the cylinder, turn it about 35° against the locking direction until it locks into position. Now, press the „•“ key and turn the adapter in the locking direction in the same way that you would turn a key in the cylinder.

• Due to environmental influences, there may be differences between the displayed time and the actual time over the course of time when electronic components are operating.
• The “Synchronise clock time” function allows you to set the time on a cylinder, reader, or EZK. If there should be any differences, you can use the “Synchronise clock time” menu item to match the time on the components with the time on the BCP-NG (Figure 4.8).
• The time on the BCP-NG is based on the system time on the computer. If the cylinder time differs more than 15 minutes from the system time, you will be required to authenticate it again by placing the programming card on top.
• The “Battery replacement” function allows you to indicate the counter reading on the cylinder, reader, or EZK when the battery was replaced. This information is then processed by the BCBC software version 2.1 or higher. To do so, connect the BCP-NG to the electronic component and follow the instructions on the display (2)

Configuration:
This is where you can adjust the BCP-NG to your needs by setting the contrast. You will find the installed firmware version in this section. The language setting on the BCP-NG is matched to that on the software in blueControl version 2.1 and higher, so there is no need to adjust the settings.

Power supply/Safety instructions:
A battery box is located at the underside of the BCP-NG, into which four rechargeable batteries of the type AA can be inserted. The BCP-NG is delivered with a set of rechargeable batteries. To open the battery box, push down the pushbutton (9) at the back and pull down the cover plate (10). Disconnect the plug of the power adapter before opening the cover plate of the battery box.

Electrical power supply and security instructions for BCP-NG:

• Please only use original Winkhaus accessories and components. This helps to prevent possible health and material damages.
• Do not change the device in any way.
• The device may not be operated with normal batteries (primary cells). Charging other than the recommended type of rechargeable batteries, or charging batteries that cannot be recharged, can lead to health hazards and material damages.
• You must observe the local legal regulations when disposing of unusable batteries.
• Only use the supplied power adapter; the use of any other device can lead to damages or hazards for health. Never operate a power adapter that shows visible signs of damage, or if the connecting cables are visibly damaged.
• The power adapter for recharging batteries should only be used in enclosed rooms, in dry surroundings, and with a maximum ambient temperature of 35 °C.
• It is entirely normal that batteries warm up, which are being charged or are in operation. It is therefore recommended to position the device on a free surface. And the rechargeable battery is that may not be replaced when the power adapter is connected, namely during charging operations.
• Please observe the correct polarity when replacing the rechargeable batteries.
• If the device is stored for a longer period and at an ambient temperature above 35 °C, this may lead to a spontaneous and even a total discharge of the batteries. The input side of the power adapter is provided with a self-resetting protection facility against overload current. If it is triggered, then the display goes out, and the device cannot be switched on. In such an event, the error, for instance, a defective battery, must be removed, and the device must be disconnected from mains power for approximately 5 minutes.
• According to manufacturer specifications, rechargeable batteries can usually be used in a temperature range from -10 °C to +45 °C.
• The output capacity of the battery is strongly limited at temperatures below 0 °C. Winkhaus therefore recommends that a use at less than 0 °C is to be avoided.

Charging the rechargeable batteries:
The batteries are recharged automatically once the device is connected with the power cable. The battery status is shown by a symbol on the display. Batteries last for about 12 hours. Recharging time is a max. of 8 hours.

Note: The rechargeable batteries are not loaded when the BCP-NG is delivered. To charge the batteries, first connect the supplied power adapter with a 230 V socket and then with the BCP-NG. When the supplied batteries are being charged for the first time, the loading time amounts to approximately 14 hours.
