Before You Begin; General Requirements - Schlage RC Pure IP User Manual

Before you begin

This guide discusses each wiring process separately. Understanding all of these processes makes a project much simpler and
helps guarantee success. To install a Reader Controller unit, you must complete four key tasks:
1. Mount the Reader Controller in the appropriate location. Recommended locations and wiring methods shall be in
accordance with 1) the National Electrical Code, {ANSI/NFPA 70}; 2) International Building Code {IBC}, and 3) Americans
with Disabilities Act {ADA}.
2. Supply power to the Reader Controller. This may be accomplished with power being provided on the Ethernet data cable
(Power over Ethernet [PoE / PoE+ / IEEE 802.3af]) or through an external DC power source (12VDC). When powering from
PoE or PoE+, in order for the system to be UL294 V7 compliant, the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) injector or end point
must be compliant to UL294 or UL294B standards.
3. Wire the unit to the door's locks and other components for physical access control.
4. Connect the unit to the data network for communication with the host access control system.
The Reader Controller complies with UL 294 V6 and is rated for the following performance levels:

General requirements

• If PoE is not being used, then use only UL-listed, access control, power-limited power supplies with an 'AC on' indicator light
clearly visible on the enclosure. Power supplies should provide at least four hours of standby power.
• Never connect power supplies to a switch-controlled receptacle.
• Install the Schlage system in accordance with the National Electrical Code NFPA 70, IBC, and ADA requirements, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-02. (Local authority has jurisdiction.)
• Use only UL-listed wire or cabling recognized suitable for Schlage power supply and data communications, in accordance
with the National Electrical Code.
• Where possible, separate Schlage equipment and cabling from sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Where this is
not possible, take other steps to reduce the effect of EMI on cabling or equipment.
• Protect input and output terminals adequately from transient signals. Also, connect these terminals to power-limited
circuitry.
• The readers are UL Listed for standalone operation only. Reference to operation with the server have not been investigated
by UL.
• Operation with the ASM has not been investigated by UL.
• Accessories connected to the readers shall be UL Listed.
• The reader controllers are intended to be used with the building's communication system and not intended for direct
outside connection.
• All input/output wiring shall employ earth grounded shielded cable. The maximum wiring distance is 30 m, same room.
• The minimum conductor gauge permitted to connect between the PSE or power injector and the device shall be 26 AWG
(0.13 mm ) for patch cords; 24 AWG (0.21 mm
2
• Premise network equipment shall be UL Listed for compliance with UL60950-1 or UL62368-1.
• Intended for Alternative A PoE sources. NEC, Class 3 wiring methods shall be followed.
• Compliance to ULC-S319, Electronic Access Control Systems, would be invalidated through the use of any add-on,
expansion, memory or other module manufactured or supplied by the manufacturer or manufacturer's representative.
• In POE applications, installation shall be in accordance with Article 725.121, Power Sources for Class 2 and Class 3 circuits.
