    Installing the Tamper Inputs For each device (Dev 1/Dev 2) on a dbSentry Controller, a set of tamper switches can be installed. The tamper switches can be used on side/top panels of a cabinet, creating an immediate alarm If the tamper switch opens.
  • Page 8: Wiegand Output

    Wiegand Output The dbSentry Controller offers two separate Wiegand outputs (one for each device), allowing for seamless integration into third-party Access Control Systems. The Wiegand data format is very flexible, and is configured via the Digitus DAS-SQL software platform. The diagram shows how to connect a control unit to a third-party system.

  • Page 10: Network/Poe Switch Connection

    Network/PoE Switch Connection Connect a network cable to the dbSentry Controller Network/PoE port as shown below. If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE) this will also provide power to the dbSentry Controller. The dbSentry Controller uses <0.03A at 48V.
  • Page 11: Connecting External / Auxiliary Power

    Connecting External / Auxiliary Power The dbSentry Controller will also support an external / auxiliary power supply (sold separately). This can be used in the following situations: • If PoE is not available. • As a backup or redundant power supply to the PoE. If power from the PoE connection is lost, the auxiliary power supply will automatically kick in.
