About Your Product Box – QR Codes Your Medeco XT AIM product boxes contains the XT AIM Controller and the XT AIM Reader, packaged separately. The XT AIM product box includes two QR codes for convenient access to the XT AIM Installation &...
As illustrated in Figure 1, the Medeco XT AIM consists of a Reader and an Intelligent Controller assembly. The Reader is mounted in an accessible location while the Controller is located in a secure location.
Using Your XT AIM Relay and Power Terminals On the side of the XT AIM Controller are the 9 Position Input/output (I/O) and 5 Position External Power Terminals used to connect external devices and to provide auxiliary power. The 9 Position I/O Terminal consists of the input and output terminals for the 4 relays. The 5 Position Power Terminal provides the fused and non-fused external power source connection points.
The two digital solid-state relays are single-pole-single-throw (SPST) normally open contacts. One solid-state relay DIGITAL SW/DIGITAL COM, (POS 4/5) is activated during authorized key access events and the other relay UNAUTH SW/UNAUTH COM, (POS 6/7) is activated during unauthorized events. The digital relays can switch up to 24V AC or DC at 100 mA.

Information on the Overvoltage Protection Circuit Connecting a voltage greater than 24V to the AC/DC 24VIN terminal will trigger the overvoltage protection circuit. When the XT AIM detects current greater than 2 amps, the circuit is triggered. When current drops to 2 amps or less, the circuit is closed. Warning –Connecting External Power to XT AIM Reader DO NOT Apply voltages above 60V as this may damage the Controller and may render the XT AIM inoperable.

XT AIM Controller Modes Your XT AIM can be configured to function in one of the following five (5) primary modes; Standard Mode, Key Power Mode Standard Mode, External Power Supplied Toggle Mode Time Delay Mode ...
When your XT AIM Controller is operating in Key Power mode, the XT AIM Reader LED Indicator will remain unlit until an authorized XT key is inserted into the key port. If the XT key is authorized, the XT AIM Reader will display a solid green light.
Time or for either 30 seconds or 60 seconds. For the Digital relays, the latch duration for all noted operational modes is approximately 2 seconds. The DIP switch settings table provides the specific DIP switch settings necessary to configure your XT AIM Controller to Cylinder Unlock Time, 30 second hold, or 60 second hold in Standard Mode.

Single Authentication Dual Authentication Toggle mode allows the XT key to act as a toggle switch by changing the state of the mechanical relay, RLY NO and RLY NC each time an authorized XT key is inserted into the XT AIM Reader. The digital relays will activate for 2 seconds each time the mechanical relay changes state.
ready for a 2 authorized XT key to be inserted. The second key must be inserted within 60 seconds. If the second key is not inserted within 60 seconds, the dual authentication cycle expires with no change in the state of the relays.
UNAUTH Relay, Additional Information Any time a key is inserted into the Reader and the keys fails to authenticate, the UNAUTH relay will close. table in the Setting the Functional Mode section of this document provides the DIP switch settings for configuring your XT AIM Controller for use in the 1, 2, 3, or 5 minute Time Delay mode.

Cylinder Unlock Time The Cylinder Unlock Time is a setting within the Medeco XT Web Manager Software that refers to the maximum duration that the Controller is powered by the key. The time can be incrementally adjusted from .8 seconds to 12 seconds. The Cylinder Unlock Time begins when the key is inserted into the Reader.

Information on power loss in Dual User Authentication Mode Dual User Authentication Mode will operate in Standard Mode with Key Power if external power to the XT AIM Controller is lost. Connected external devices may not operate as intended.
Configuring Your XT AIM Setting the Functional Mode Selection Prior to installation, you should configure the XT AIM Controller by locating the four DIP switches located adjacent to the XT AIM Reader cable inputs on the side of the unit. The following table shows the available modes of operation and their corresponding DIP switch settings.
Installing Your XT AIM Before You Begin While your XT AIM Reader can be mounted in any of the 90 degree orientations, this installation guide assumes that you will install the Reader vertically on the unsecured side of an opening or accessible location, with the XT AIM Controller installed on the secure side or inaccessible location.

You should be familiar with the installation instructions and information for any external devices or power source you are connecting to the XT AIM Controller, as well as the XT AIM Controller terminals you are using. Tip for Configuring your XT AIM Controller before installation You must configure your XT AIM Controller to the desired functional mode prior to installation.
What Tools are Required/Needed? You will need the following tools to complete the installation of your Medeco XT AIM. #2 Phillips head screwdriver 3/32” slot-head screwdriver Tape measure or scale with fractional increments Optional: Drill for preparing mounting surface for new installation ...
Installation – Mounting the XT AIM Reader 1. For new installations, the specifications for mounting your XT AIM Reader are shown below. The diagram is not to scale. 2. Locate the mounting plate and the two (2) provided #6-32x1” mounting plate screws, noting the orientation of the top and bottom of the mounting plate (shown in Figure 6).
Page 26
3. Attach the mounting plate on the accessible side of the desired location using the two (2) provided #6-32x1” mounting plate screws. 4. The mounting plate is now installed. 5. Locate the XT AIM Reader assembly. 6. Remove the outer housing on the XT AIM Reader assembly and set it aside for later installation. 7.

10. Attach the Reader and escutcheon to the mounting plate using the 4 #6-32x3/8” Reader mounting screws. 11. After the Reader is attached to the surface of the accessible location, carefully pull the XT Reader cable to remove any slack that remains inside the Reader assembly. 12.
Installation – Mounting & Connecting the XT AIM Controller Locate the XT AIM Controller and the 4 #8x1” Philips-head screws. If your installation requires it and you have not done so already, ensure that any pre-drilled holes align with the holes in the mounting brackets on the XT AIM Controller. Warning –...
