Power Wiring 1. Connect the power supply to the 12V and Ground terminals on the connector. 2. Power should only be applied to the system when all connections are secured and tested, and when instructed to apply power. In and Out Reader Connectors Terminal Description +12 VDC Power for the Readers LED Control for the In and Out Readers...
Reader Wiring 1. Disconnect power from the controller. 2. Connect the color coded wires from the reader to the appropriate terminals on the reader connector as shown. Refer to manufacture's instructions for exact color codes for each connection. 3. Remove excess shield from the reader cable to prevent interference with the controller's electronics or other electrical circuits.
Output Wiring Requirements The wire used must be of the proper gauge for the load current and distance from the controller to the load. Wires must not be routed in parallel with or in the same conduit with any high voltage AC wiring and all wiring shall conform with the National Electrical Code, NPFA70 and local building codes.

Installation of 1 Door Systems Installation Check List The list below provides a logical sequence for installing a system. This list cannot cover all possible situations and conditions that occur during installation and use and it must be understood that common sense and caution must be exercised by the person(s) installing, maintaining and operating the equipment.
Mounting the 1 Door System The 1 door controller can be mounted vertically or horizontally in an enclosure that is located in a secure location. The aluminum heat sink should face away from the mounting surface. The temperature in the mounting location must be within the system's specified limits. When running wires through knockouts in enclosures, install bushings or conduit connectors as needed to protect wires from damage.

Door Lock Wiring Door outputs can be configured to operate in a fail safe or fail secure mode. Connect the door locking device to the door output connector as shown below. Refer to the manufacture's specifications to determine the correct operating voltage, current and configuration. Use a power supply dedicated for door lock use.
Powering On and Connecting to a Network Controllers must be located in a secure area and connected to a network that is protected by a security system (firewall, etc.). Before connecting the controller to the network, obtain the following information from you network administrator. Note: a Static IP address should be used when a controller is configured as a server controller.
Wizard Starting Page 7. The network configurations may be also accessed through the Sitemap by first clicking the icon at the bottom of the page, then clicking IP Address under Network Settings. Accessing the Site Map 8. After entering the network information, click Save & Reboot and the controller will reboot. Typically rebooting will take less than 2 minutes.
is 98.5 feet (30 meters). NOTE: LAN connection is only required for monitoring, reporting and configuration. Once the system is configured, it will operate without a LAN connection. Adding Clients to Systems Some systems have the ability to add additional controllers to increase the number of doors, inputs or outputs or control elevators.
Linking the Client to the Server 1. Login to the system's server. 2. After logging in, browse to the Site Management and select Client Management. 3. The client will appear in the client management list. Click on the button to connect the client to the server.
System Configuration and Programming The controller is programmed and managed using a web browser on any computer connected to the local area network. The controller's basic settings can be programmed using the Wizard tool. The Wizard tool helps ensure the that required settings are configured for normal operation.
