Wet Contact Relay, Normally Open Requires 12 V DC or 24 V AC Trigger Power Voltage is provided when the relay activates. Outgoing power is determined by main power (12V DC or 24V AC). Main Power Wet Contact 12 V DC Relay 24 V AC Note:...
Wet Contact Relay, Normally Closed Requires Constant 12 V DC or 24 V AC Voltage is removed when the relay activates. Outgoing power is determined by main power (12V DC or 24V AC). Main Power Wet Contact 12 V DC Relay 24 V AC Note:...
Dry Contact Relay, Normally Open For Doors/Gates not requiring power from the EPM The gate or door receives continuity when the relay is active. Dry Contact Relay Note: When active, sends continuity.
Dry Contact Relay, Normally Closed For Doors/Gates not requiring power from the EPM The gate or door receives continuity when the relay is at rest. Dry Contact Relay Note: When active, removes continuity.
Wiegand Wiring Provides power and data input for 26-bit Wiegand devices See below for an example of Wiegand wiring. Wiegand Wiegand Data Power D0 D1 Note: The Wiegand power output only provides 12 V DC.

LED Signals The LED lights on the OmniPoint device signal whether and how the device has connected with the server and the Gateway. The green and red LED lights may flash quickly, slowly, or hold steady. See below for a breakdown of the LED lights and what they mean.
About Overmodulation Too Strong of a signal on an EPM can lead to overmodulation. What happens when the signal is Overmodulated? Overmodulation causes the signal between the EPM and Gateway to distort, which leads to data loss. To prevent this data loss, the correct type of antenna must be used on each EPM.
Signal Strength Guide Folow the instructions below to enter into test mode. Entering Test Mode: 1. Power up your EPM (use switch or plug in power) 2. Wait until both red and green LEDS light up at the same time 3.
Determining the Type of Antenna Needed Now we will determine if the EPM needs an external antenna. When testing, the green blinks/signal must be LED Color Status consistent and stable. If at any point you notice blink, you do not have a consistent signal. No Signal In this case, do not proceed with installation.
Determining the Type of Antenna Needed Now we will determine if the EPM needs an external antenna. If you are unable to obtain a consistent and stable signal of at least two blinks DO NOT proceed with the installation. Contact Dealer Support for further troubleshooting.
Downloading the CG Installer Control App If you have not yet, download the “CG Installer Control” app to your smartphone. Search for “CG control” in the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, and download the app. For iPhones, scan this QR code to download the Control app from the App Store.
Registering the EPM Open the CG Installer Control app and login. If you do not have a dealer log in, contact CellGate Customer Support at 1-855-694-2837. -Tap Install a Product. -Tap OmniPoint EPM.
Scanning the QR Code -Tap Location Name (this is an example - it will be the name of the actual property). -Select the property location. -Tap Scan Node Barcode.
Scanning the QR Code Scan the QR code on the side of the EPM. A message will pop up showing the registration was successful. Configure & Test. Next click QR Code...
Checking the LED Verify the green light is blinking slowly, at the rate of once a second approximately. If it is, click “Yes” - if not click “No” - Clicking “No” will take you to a troubleshooting step. Otherwise, we can click “Yes” and proceed to the next step.
Setting Trigger Times Select “Set Trigger Times” -Set the “Relay” time in seconds -Set the “Wiegand” time in seconds -Set the “Request to Exit” time in seconds Note: Relay time: The amount of time relay stays open when activated. Wiegand: How long relay remains active from Wiegand transaction.
Setting Re-Arm Times Select “Set Re-Arm Times” -Set the “Re-Arm Wiegan” time in seconds -Set the “Input 1” time in seconds -Set the “Input 2” time in seconds -Tap Save Note: Re-arm Wiegand: How may times the same code can be used within the set number of seconds.
Pushing Settings to the Device Select Normally Open or Normally Closed for the Default Input State. -Tap “Push Changes to Device” Note: If you get the push error, power cycle your EPM and wait for the green heartbeat again, then click Proceed.
Testing the EPM Activate the relay by tapping “Send Command”. This should trigger the gate/door. If it was successful then tap “Yes” - if not tap “No”.
Verify Door/Gate Status Verify the Gate Status. If OmniPoint is working correctly, Gate Status displays as either Opened or Closed. A Gate Status of Unknown indicates the system is not receiving data from the door status sensor. If you don’t use gate status, click Skip. Tap Yes to move to Wiegand testing.
Testing the Wiegand Function Now it’s time to verify that the OmniPoint device reads Wiegand codes correctly. Tap “Start Test”. To test, scan a RFID card or enter a Wiegand code. Verify that the Wiegand information you entered displays. An incorrect or blank code generally indicates a wiring problem.
Request to Exit The app prompts you to send a Request to Exit to verify the process is working correctly. A pop-up asks if you have a request to exit. Tap “Yes”. Note: Request-to-exit (REX) devices are used in conjunction with access control systems to ensure that tenants are able to freely and safely exit an area.
Verify Door/Gate Status (REX) Verify the Gate Status. Tap “Yes” if the command worked. The Gate Status should display Open or Closed. If the Gate Status is Unknown, the request to exit did not work and the system is not receiving data from the OmniPoint device. Note: Open and close the door to ensure the status is...
Installing the Next EPM If installation is successful, a message displays stating, “Great! Installation setup completed.” If you want to install another device, tap Install another device on this property. Note: If you tap Done, you are returned to Account Selection on the dashboard...
Testing Your Relay Now you are on the main function screen for the EPM. Here you can do various tests, and also go back and change the settings that were configured previously.
