Controller installation. Overview You should carefully read this instruction and technical description before installation. To install the controller, pre-read the section of this manual that corresponds to the desired configuration (Door, Turnstile, or Gate). Choose a placement of controllers, readers, actuators, and sensors.
Toggles rmine the basic configuration: Doors, Turnstiles, Gates, or Registration Board. Toggles -8 determine its optional parameters. CONF2 dip-unit is designed for setting the RS485-controller network address (see 6.4.4 Setting RS485 network address). All the settings specified by dip-toggles come into effect at the If you change toggle positions on the working controller, it will not take effect until the controller is rebooted.
Pic 3. Connecting power supply to the controller For connection, you can use any cable of suitable cross-section (not less than 0.75 mm²), e.g. flat vinyl-sheath vinyl insulated cord, universal flat flexible cable, universal flat cable, vinyl-sheath connecting wire, or flexible vinyl-sheath vinyl insulated power cable (VV-F, for external wiring). The DCD line is an auxiliary input used by the controller to diagnose the state of the power supply voltage.
Page 19
2. Readers are connected to the controller by 22AWG or 24AWG cable (e.g. 8x0.5 vinyl- sheath cable for transmission systems). "Twisted pair" cable is not recommended for making connection. 3. Do not place reader in areas with sources of wide spectrum electromagnetic noise, e.g.
Color Function Controller terminal White Turning on of red LED LED 2 Orange Enabling sound alarm Usually combined with LED 1 for synchronous enabling. Table 4. Hints for color wire marking while connecting readers 6.3.2 Connecting readers with Wiegand interface The electrical properties of Wiegand standard interface provide a guaranteed reader connectivity range up to 60 m, which is sufficient in most cases.
● LED G reader green LED, usually combined with a sound emitter, LED R reader red LED. ● Connection of LED1 and LED2 indication lines can be omitted if the reader is configured for internal indication control. 6.3.3 Connecting contactors and Touch memory readers The electrical properties of Touch memory standard interface provide a guaranteed reader connectivity range up to 15 m.
Pic 8. Example of connecting Touch memory contactor with integrated LED 2 Pic 9. Example of connecting the reader with the Touch memory output interface 6.3.4 Connecting keypad readers To connect a keypad reader to the controller, it is necessary for the reader to have the Wiegand-HID (6 bit) or Wiegand-Motorola (8 bit) output interface.

If firewalls are used in the IP-network for the normal controller operation, it is necessary to allow a free exchange of UDP-datagrams between the server and the system controllers on ports 3303 and 3305. 6.4.3 Connecting RS485 communication line The RS485 communication line is an industrial network with the bus topology, i.e. connection of all devices integrated in this line is made in series, one after the other.
Page 25
Pic 11. Examples of the communication line connection The A and B wires must be a twisted pair. Never use wires of different pairs of the cable! When using a shielded twisted pair, the shield should not be connected to PG terminal of each controller, as shield grounding point in the system must be unique.
6.4.4 Setting RS485 network address CONF2 To specify the network address of the controller, use dip-unit The address can have a value from 1 to 255. Address 0 is invalid; if you try to turn on the controller with this address, it will signal a configuration error in accordance with Sec. 13 Appendix 1. The controller audible signals.

The first door Output triggering on reading the pass, which has "Security authorized access"...
Standard use of terminals can be changed using the Castle software, see "User Guide", Sec. "Reassigning controller terminals". E.g., in the door control scenario you can assign an unused relay to signal about break-in.
Connecting the controller in Registration Board mode Registration Board mode (Registration Table in terms of Castle client control program interface) is used when the controller is not required to connect any access blocking device (doors, turnstiles, barriers, etc.). Note that in this configuration, the controller does not produce any output signal, except for alway outputs do not work.

To eliminate mutual influence of sensors, it is recommended to mount them according to the following scheme: "At one wall the transmitter of the first sensor and the receiver of the second one; at the opposite wall the receiver of the first sensor and the transmitter of the second one". Sensor A is triggered first on OUT passage.
Connecting doors In this configuration, the controller can control one or two doors equipped with electromagnetic or electromechanical locks or latches. Connecting two doors. Overview You can connect one or two doors to the controller. Below is the list of the equipment to be connected to a door: ●...
3=OFF normally closed 3=ON normally open Selects normal state of the second door opening sensor. * 4=OFF normally closed 4=ON normally open Selects a method for controlling the lock of the first door. 5=OFF potential (the lock is controlled by levels on one or two lines). 5=ON pulse (the lock is controlled by pulses on one or two lines).

Setting CONF1 toggles to work with electric motor locks Before enabling the access point, which is servicing an electric motor lock with no built-in control unit, you need to make its mandatory settings.
8.3.7 Important notes on the use of locks and latches It is strictly forbidden to use locks without connected protective diodes! EMF of self- circuit can reach several hundred volts. If there is no protective diode, an erosion of relay contacts occurs due to sparking and it leads to a relay failure.
Connecting door opening sensors The door opening sensor is used to record facts of passing or breaking the door. Warning! When the door opening sensor is not connected: ● The controller will not record the door break-ins. ● In some cases, the zone control function will be processed incorrectly.
Warning! If there is no door opening sensor, do not install jumpers on D1 and D2 terminals in this case, the controller will not record the events of access (i.e. it considers the door always closed). Toggle Selects the normal state of the first door opening sensor. 3=OFF normally closed 3=ON normally open Selects the normal state of the second door opening sensor.
Terminals D9 and D10 are designed to connect buttons opening the door without determining passage direction or authorizing requested passage. E.g., the button of this type should be controlled by the security guard, who is on duty for opening the door in both IN and OUT directions. It should be noted that the direction of the passage will be undefined in the system reports.

Sec. 13 Appendix 1. The controller audible signals. 3. The E-series controller with Ethernet interface (EP and ES) reads the status of the first toggle on CONF2 dip-unit. If the toggle is in ON position, the controller resets its IP- configuration to the default settings.
11.4 Processing fire alarm signals The principle of operation of the fire alarm line is as follows: 1. In its normal state, the fire alarm line has to be closed. 2. When the line breaks and remains in the broken state within a certain period of time (see 15 Appendix 3.
With an increase of current consumption above 100mA, or when a negative voltage or voltage above 30V is supplied to the output, the output circuit will automatically turn off.

● Fully or partially unblocked mode. In this mode, the turnstile is permanently unblocked in one or both directions. Switching to this mode is performed by means of a computer or the control panel. 11.8.2 Working with the turnstile control panel The turnstile control panel should contain two or three buttons, the purpose of which is described in the following table.
The controller sends pulse commands OPEN/CLOSE/STOP or START/STOP to these lines. The control logic is specified by access point settings in the Castle control program. After sending OPEN or CLOSE command, the controller defines the gate wing position according to the time of gate wing travel specified in the controller settings (see Sec.
Limit switches are mandatory when working with control units having only two control lines (START and STOP). In this case, the controller has to obtain information about gate wing whereabouts, otherwise its correct operation is not possible. In case of three control lines (OPEN, CLOSE, and STOP), you can either use or abandon limit switches.
11.9.7 Security measures at gate automation Controlling the gate by fully automated logic can be potentially dangerous, as the automation system might go out of service or the control over it might be lost. In the worst case, the automation system might damage a vehicle, which is in the gate area, or harm the health of people inside.

Pic 132. Reassigning terminals 2. After the passage through the turnstile is completed, it is registered by the system as if it was a break-in in the passage direction (e.g., someone has presented a card at the entrance, the turnstile has opened in the IN direction, but the passage was registered by the system as a break-in in the IN direction).
Make sure that both the passage sensors are inactive, when the turnstile is closed (both sensors either closed or open, depending on the model of the turnstile) and the Castle terminals D1 and D2 have appropriate levels (0V when the sensor is closed or 3.3V when it is open).
