  • Page 6: Before You Start

    Before you start This installation guide explains how to install and configure the Avigilon Single Door Controller (SDC) as part of an Avigilon Alta access control system. Conducting site surveys Before installing Avigilon hardware, conduct a customer site survey to determine the following: The number of entries that need to be configured (for example, doors, gates, and elevator floors)

    Note: If using an external DNS server, the outbound UDP port 53 must also be open. To support Wi-Fi unlocking from the mobile app, the inbound TCP port 443 of the SDC must be available from within the LAN. Inbound port forwarding on the router, firewall, or NAT device is not required.
  • Page 9: Selecting A Backup Battery

    0.125A – 0.25A Assuming an external 24V power supply, an SDC configured with two Avigilon readers and locking hardware uses about 1.1 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged, you need 1.1A x 3 hours = 3.3 AH, so two 12V 4AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries in series.

    Wiring Avigilon readers Avigilon readers and the SDC communicate via RS-485. The compatible wire types are listed in order of preference which impacts distance. Shielded Cat 6A (recommended; extra two pairs can be used for sensors) Shielded Cat 6 Shielded RS-485 with 18-24 AWG (lower gauge, thicker wire is better)

    For shielded wiring: Connect one side of the drain wire (the shield around the wires) to the GND terminal on the SDC. Both the shield and the GND wire can share the same GND terminal. Do not connect the other side of the shield to anything.

    Resetting SDCs Soft reset To soft reset the SDC, disconnect power from the SDC, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power. Hard reset Warning: Only hard reset the SDC if absolutely necessary and if instructed by Avigilon Alta Support. This will clear all of the data off of the SDC and will require reprovisioning.

    (mag lock) or other fail-safe hardware. This prevents any points of failure in the egress path. If the REX device is wired directly to the REX input on an ACU, then the Avigilon Alta access control system can simply shunt forced-open alarms only, or shunt forced-open alarms and trigger the relay to unlock.
  • Page 25 Example: Remote REX on Single Door Controller with Video Reader Pro or Video Intercom Reader Pro To further improve reliability, Avigilon Alta will be implementing changes that will engage the remote relay for the entry when the REX is triggered even if the associated video device is unavailable. The controller for this relay should have a battery backup or be wired in a fail-safe configuration for maximum reliability.
