1 - OVERVIEW IPassan system IPassan is a full solution to manage door and lift access control, doorphone system, cctv and is also open to extra fea- tures such as intruder alarm, counting, etc... It is designed to be as flexible and scalable as possible through expansion cards. The monitoring of the building is also part of the system so that the operator is always able to turn on/off the security of a door, a floor and is aware of a door left opened.

Ethernet POE (Optionnal) 2 RS485 bus (main, expanders) 1 micro USB OTG port doors Features • 2 RS485 bus - Main RS485 bus between controllers - Slave RS485 bus between controller and expanders • Encrypted RS-485 and 2 wire bus communications (2-SMART) •...
1.2.2 Extra modules Different optional devices have been designed to increase the capacity and / or the features of the system. Two different types of devices are offered: The expanders are connected to the secondary RS485 bus of a controller and powered through an extra psu. Each controller manages up to 10 expanders which could be distant of 1000 meters from the controller.

Door optional cards Two or four doors can be added to the controller. 2 extra doors can be added to the 2 wire controller because it already manages 4 doors. 4 extra doors can be added to the Wiegand controller because it already manages 2 doors. Features •...
IPassan manager The software is web based and is designed to be installed on a computer or can be cloud based. For the Windows release, the minimal configuration is : - Quad core processor > 3Ghz (Intel Core i5 for example) - 4Go Ram - Operating system Windows 7 or higher...
Note : when the controller is powered through the ethernet network (POE), the + and – terminals are not connected. 2.1.2 Controller tamper The controller offers two different tamper inputs. When the cover is placed on the controller, it pushes a reed switch (see below : built in tamper). An extra input is avai- lable when the controller is fixed in a metal enclosure.
2.1.4 RS485 Auxiliary Each controller manages up to 10 expanders. Those expanders are connected through the auxiliary RS485 bus as shown below. Installation rules: The RS485 bus is sensitive to perturbation and requires a specific twisted and shielded cable (FTP). A and B signals must be connected on the same pair in the cable.
2.1.6 Readers Controllers are designed to work with 2 smart readers or Wiegand readers. Both ranges share the same aesthetics but offer different features. The wiegand is a common protocol in the access control market. When a key is presented to the reader, the serial num- ber of the key is sent to the controller.
Note, the green led of the controller is ON while the relay is activated. The red led flashes once when the controller receives some data from the Wiegand reader. The green led of the reader is activated for the door delay when a valid credential is used. The red led of the reader flashes quickly (3 times per sec) when the credential is not authorized.
Fail-safe lock / Maglocks 2.1.8 REX push button When a fail-safe lock is used, a second security must be used to prevent an issue between the REX push button and the controller. Basically, a break glass is connected in serial with the lock psu or the push button manages two dry contacts : 1 NO contact for the controller REX input + 1 NC contact in serial with the lock or maglock psu.
By default: R1 = 4,7 KΩ R2 = 10 KΩ Door expansion card A 2 smart reader door expansion card offers 2 extra doors to the base for a maximum of 6 doors per controller. And a Wiegand reader expansion card allows the connection of 4 extra doors for a maximum of 6 doors per controller. Please note that it is not possible to plug a Wiegand expansion card on a 2 smart reader one or a 2 smart expansion card on a Wiegand controller.
2.3.2 RS485 bus Each controller manages up to 10 expanders. Those expanders are connected through the auxiliary RS485 bus as shown below. Installation rules: The RS485 bus is sensitive to disturbance and requires a specific twisted and shielded cable (FTP). A and B signals must be connected on the same pair in the cable.
By default: R1 = 4,7 KΩ R2 = 10 KΩ 2.3.5 Outputs The relays are fully independent Inputs / outputs expansion card 2.4.1 The psu is provided by the controller or expander on which the expansion card is plugged. 2.4.2 Inputs The 12 inputs work as described in the chapter 2.3.4 2.4.3...
3 - LED INDICATION Different leds on the controller or expander provide a status of the communication, psu, etc... • Status of the output relay • Status of the input relay • Communication with the server Overview Door status For each door, the green led is ON when the relay is activated.
RS485 auxiliary bus (expanders) The status led is on when the controller communicates with expander(s). It is off when there is no commu- nication on this auxiliary bus. Controller status Two leds show the right voltage of the processing unit (green led) and the right performance of the operating mode.
Server controllers communication over Internet In the Ipassan system, the controller asks to the server if it has any new data to download. This means the server IP address has to be setup in the controllers. This setting is automatically done by the communication server when a controller is added to the site. When controllers are managed through internet.
4) check in Tools / Controller detection that the controller uses the new IP address 5) Connect a new controller to the network then do the same Manually add a device In the site creation wizard, step 3 “Network”, entre the number of controller for each network. Step 5 “Controllers”, enter the serial numbers of the controllers and expanders then rename the devices.

In the next step, the computer checks for each controller if other devices are connected to the RS485 buses. The fol- lowing window appears : Click on Save to add all devices in the site then rename the controllers and expanders in the following step. (as descri- bed for the manual setting) INFORMATION ON UNION HARMONISATION LEGISLATION FDI MATELEC, as a manufacturer, declares under its sole responsibility that the product IPassan complies with the rele-...
