Decide where to install each chassis.

1. Do not place the control chassis more than 100 feet from the transformer. This is the
maximum cable run allowed by the ACS power supply.
2. Calculate the distance between the control chassis and each expansion chassis using the
chart in Table 1 below. The calculations are based on the following restrictions.

to seven expansion chassis (or four large expansions chassis).
The control chassis contains the MAIN BOARD, which also serves as a 2-door board,
and may also contain either a DOOR BOARD or an INPUT OUTPUT BOARD. If a large
chassis is used, the control chassis may contact any combination of 3 additional door
and/or Input Output boards.
Output boards. Each large expansion chassis may contact any combination of 4 door
and/or Input Output boards.
•
Each DOOR BOARD has two terminal nodes, each of which contains a
complete set of terminals for controlling a door. This means that each DOOR
BOARD can be used to control two doors.
•
The same inputs and outputs that drive a door can also be used for other
devices as configured through Brivo Online. In other words, DOOR BOARDs
do not need to be used to control doors.
WARNING: Door Wiring
If a node is to be used for a door, do not connect any other device to the
following terminal blocks: REX & DOOR, DOOR LOCK RELAY, and READER.
•
An INPUT OUTPUT BOARD cannot be used to control a door; however, it can
be used in any circumstance that uses contact closure to track change of
status.
be up to 1500 feet apart.
first and last chassis decreases by 50 feet. So, if there are three chassis in a system,
the control chassis plus two expansion chassis, the two most distant chassis can be
no more than 1450 apart.
