Overview
The Paxton BLU Expansion Controller (this unit) must connect to a Master Controller which provides a connection to the cloud based server
through a TCP/IP Ethernet port or through the optional GSM/GPRS modem.
These connect via the self-terminating RS485 bus connection, no additional terminations are required. Larger sites are accommodated by using
multiple master units that can be logically grouped in the software.
Connecting the Paxton BLU Expansion Controller
Wire the components to the Paxton BLU Expansion Controller as shown on page 4. Power up the unit and wait for the OK LED heartbeat. If there
is a fault with the installation or the unit then the diagnostic LEDs (see above) may well show the fault type enabling you to report or rectify the
problem before proceeding.
To confirm relay activation for the locking hardware press the exit button or, in the absence of an exit button, place a test jumper between the 0v
and exit terminals. Once the exit button is pressed or the jumper temporarily placed, the lock should release.
When using Paxton readers, the reader's default indication has all the LEDs on once connected to the software and configured. Access granted
is denoted with a single flashing Green LED. Access Denied is a single flashing Red LED. The green reader LED should flash when the exit button
is pressed.
