- Page 12 Diagram Wiring Diagram Diagram NOTE: For UL-certified wire installations, all wire running from a Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) to a lock, strike, or reader device must be less than 98.5 feet (30 meters). Strip the wire ends as required. Install the reader, and attach the wires, meeting your reader configurations.
- Page 13 (+) and ground (-). DC voltage is polarized, meaning that it has fixed positive and negative connections. The diode must be installed in the direction shown in the illustrations: gray stripe to positive (+), black to negative or ground (-). Reader Connectors This section describes the Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) connector's technical specifications.
- Page 14 (A) Main Reader - The main reader is mounted at the door with a 22/5 or 22/6 wire ran to the door controller. Wire the reader to the controller as shown above. Be sure to check polarity and voltage prior to powering the controller. (B) OSDP - Place jumper(s) to enable OSDP multi-drop capabilities, NOTE:...
- Page 15 Green: to 1 connector Door Position Sensor (DPS) Wiring Diagram DPS: The Door Position Sensor is mounted on the door frame in the desired location with a 22/2 wire running from the DPS to the controller. When using two DPS sensors for double doors, wire them in series with only two conductors running back to the controller.
- Page 16 closed. When the electromagnet is energized, a current passing through the electromagnet causes the plate to attract the electromagnet, creating a locking action. NOTE: For UL-certified wire installations, all wire running from a door controller to a lock, strike, or reader device must be less than 98.5 feet (30 meters).
- Page 17 latch just like a fixed strike. (A) Diode: The provided diode MUST be installed when using a strike. Install at the strike with the stripe of the diode on positive (+) and the black on negative (-). IMPORTANT: The diode MUST be installed as close to the lock as possible. The best scenario (if possible) is directly across the screw terminals on the lock.
