Cabling Information Use the appropriate cabling for the lock equipment taking into account the distance and voltage requirements. Please contact your cable supplier with your specification for more advice. The lock suppressor must be connected as close as possible to the lock to avoid any damage to the controller.
Connecting the Power Supply Part Number: 5002-6050 Metal Case + PSU Single Phase Neutral Earth 12V / 3A output +12V (Door equipment) +12V 12V / 2A output (Controller) +12V Battery Connection POE Power Supply Part Number: 5002-6051 Metal case + POE Single It is recommended the 802.3bt is used as standard as the source equipment to the PoE module as this will provide the required current to operate controller and readers.
10. Connecting a GARDiS Controller to the Ethernet Network Each GARDiS unit is preconfigured with a default IP Address. This is printed on a sticker on the controller case. Defaults are stated below: IP Address: 192.168.2.150 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Crossover Cable (if required) Straight cable Straight cable...
Set Date and Time Set the time on the unit to ensure events are reported at the correct time. Log in to the unit. Go to Site Configuration and select the Date from the calendar. Enter the current time. Click Set Time.
11. Extending the System To increase the number of doors or equipment in the system, extension units must be purchased along with a license dongle to insert into the master unit. The available extensions include the GARDiS 4+ and GARDiS I/O. The extension units may be a mixture of both types of extensions and use the RS485 to daisy chain the units together.
PSU: 1 x 13.8Vdc 3A and 1 x 13.8Vdc 2A; Features Doors 4 doors Up to 2 TDSi readers per door in a read-in read-out configuration. Readers Alternatively, 1 reader per door equipped with industry standard clock & data, Wiegand multiformat or RS 485 output formats.
11.2.1 Connecting to Master Controller Cabling Information 2 Conductors (2 pairs recommended) Maximum distance: 750m Cable Type: 0.6mm (SYT recommended) Do not install cables near high voltage or high current cables. Use the same pair for the A and B terminal blocks. 11.2.2 Adding the Module using the Embedded Web Server Connect to the embedded webserver logging into the unit, click Site Configuration,...
The GARDiS I/O extension modules allows for an additional 8 inputs and 8 outputs to be added to the access control system. The following diagram shows how to connect the GARDiS I/O module to a master controller. TDSi Part No. GARDiS IO EXT 5002-6006 Dimensions...
