MICROgarde Configuration

When you have completed the physical installation and connected the MICROgarde to
readers, switches and other devices, there are four further tasks to complete the
configuration of the unit:
Set the rotary switch
Make a note of the unit's unique software identification code (UID).
Fit the tamper spring.
Enable the onboard battery.
Rotary Dial switch
All MICROgarde units must have a unique number. The first 8 units must be set to
addresses 1-8 and subsequent units set to position 9 which indicates that the UID of the
controller will be used for addressing purposes. The software will assign a unique unit
number for the additional controllers.
Make note of the Unit numbers given to your controllers to help in EXgarde software set up.
UID
The UID is a unique number and should be noted for Software identification of the unit.
Using EXgarde software you will be required to type this UID in. A MICROgarde 1 has a
UID starting with 6, "6-xxx-xxx-xxx" and a MICROgarde 2 has a UID starting with 5, "5-xxx-
xxx-xxx".
Tamper spring
The tamper spring should be slotted onto the tamper spring switch SW1 located near the
Battery of the main PCB.
Battery
When you have completed installation and connection, it is essential that you remove the
battery tab. This enables the onboard memory, allowing the unit to store all information (for
example, access card details) should the unit lose power.
