Page 10: Mounting Requirements For Ec / En Series Units
Mounting Requirements for EC / EN Series Units The EC / EN Series Telephone Entry & Access Control System can be installed for public or private use. The mounting requirements will vary depending on the installation. Review the following information before beginning the installation. Mounting Environment Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location. -
Page 11: Entry System Mounting
Entry System Mounting SURFACE The unit’s cabinet is designed to be mounted two ways: MOUNTING • The unit can be mounted directly to a wall or flat surface. • The unit can be mounted on a standard gooseneck pedestal. MARK THE (4) FOUR Choose a well lit location near the controlled opening. - Page 12 Pedestal Mounting The cabinet can be mounted on a gooseneck pedestal. Two pedestals are available: Model GNC-1 is for surface mounting with concrete fasteners, Model GNB-1 is for burial mounting. The EC / EN Series units are designed for installation directly to goose neck mounts. No unique mounting plates are required.
- Page 13 Mount to a Wood Surface Using Pedestal Mounting Holes The cabinet can be mounted to a wood surface using the holes designed to install the Pedestal. 1 . Work with the dealer to identify a stud or reinforcement beam where the housing may be attached.

Page 14: System Output Overview
System Output Overview The unit has two door lock relays and two auxiliary output relays that can be activated in response to reader activity, time schedules, or input conditions. All relays are Form-C SPDT and provide non-powered dry contacts rated for 5 Amps. Power for the relay loads can come from an external power supply or from an optionally installed Power Distribution Module board. - Page 15 Door Strike 1 . Install a low voltage electric door strike as a locking device for the door or pedestrian gate. 2 . Install the power supply or transformer for the locking device. DO NOT POWER THE UNIT FROM THIS POWER SUPPLY . 3 .

Page 17: System Input Wiring
System Input Wiring Systems have the three types of switch inputs used for monitoring door position (DSM), exit requests (REX), and auxiliary requests. All inputs are assigned default features that can be configured as needed. The following table shows the default states for each of the inputs: INPUT DEFAULT STATE DOOR SWITCH MONITOR... - Page 18 Request-to-Exit (REX) Inputs The two door relay outputs have REX input terminals. Grounding a REX terminal will request activation for the associated relay. Exit request inputs are typically used with push bars, loop sensors, or pushbuttons. 1 . Install the pushbutton or device to signal an exit request. 2 .

Page 19: Wiegand Accessories
Wiegand Accessories The unit’s four Wiegand inputs (WIEGAND #1 IN/OUT & WIEGAND #2 IN/OUT) can be connect to Wiegand output accessories capable of reading up to 64 bit formats. The Wiegand format is a common standard for access control equipment. A typical application would be to add swipe card or proximity readers to the system. -
Page 20: Telephone Wiring
Telephone Wiring For telephone entry applications, the unit connects two wire POTs and/or VOIP telephone lines: 24 and 48 volts. Important Telephone Wiring Tips • WIRING SHOULD BE PLACED IN SEPARATE JACKETED CABLES FOR TELEPHONE AND AC . Route all telephone wires inside a dedicated conduit that is at least six inches away from any AC line wiring. -
Page 21: Operational Postal Lock
Operational Postal Lock A postal lock can be installed in the EC / EN Series unit to provide keyed access for the postal service. The unit’s case is designed to accept a U.S. Postal Service postal lock. When the postal lock is engaged, the programmed output relay will activate. Postal Lock Installation 1 . -
Page 22: Optional Card Reader Mounting
Optional Card Reader Mounting A card reader can be installed inside the EC / EN Series unit. Using a built-in card reader saves the time and expense of installing a stand-alone card reader next to the controlled access point. The user presents their credential directly to the unit’s front panel. The unit is designed to accept mounting of a card reader. - Page 23 STEP 1: Power & Ground Wiring The unit requires power from a 11-13 volt DC power source. WARNING: Do not connect to an AC receptacle controlled by a switch. NOTE: If the unit is powered directly from the plug-in power supply, a separate power supply MUST be used for door locks and accessories. Recommended is the Power Distribution Module (PDM) (optional-not included).
- Page 24 STEP 2: Network Installation Options / Connections An access control network allows shared programming and user information between systems. Networks make system programming and facility management much easier in multi-unit installations. The EC / EN Series Telephone Entry & Access Control System is designed to be compatible with each other when residing in a multi-unit network operating environment.
- Page 25 STEP 3: Ethernet LAN Connection The EC / EN Series Telephone Entry & Access Control System connects to a controlling LAN via an Ethernet connection on the CPU. Previous Telephone Entry Systems utilized the RS-485 cable connection via a “daisy-chain” to connect multiple units. This type of connection is obsolete and current EC / EN Series units do not require linked type connections to communicate with the LAN.
- Page 26 STEP 4: Configuring for a Local Area Network The unit must be located in a trusted network environment where a protected network security system (firewall, etc.) is installed and maintained. CAUTION: The system is exposed to potential risks if installed on a network without proper security precautions. Consult the appropriate on-site IT administrator.
