Installation with long cable for OSDP reader

Application
Reader cable is longer than recommended 30 m (100 ft )

Requirements

• Reader powered locally, not by the controller
• Reader data wiring
• RS485 cable, only RS485 communication in cable
• Twisted pair with shield
• AWG 24
• 120-ohm impedance

Adhere to local life safety code in all installations.
The illustration does not depict door monitors, REX devices, locks, controller power supply, network switch, battery backup, and UPS.
Ensure that your power supplies and relays are rated for the intended purposes.
This is just an example. Always refer to the pin chart provided by AXIS Camera Station for installation.

Installation with long cable for Wiegand reader

Application
Reader cable is longer than recommended 30 m (100 ft)

Requirements

• Reader powered locally, not by the controller
• Reader data wiring
• AWG 22

Installation with long cable for door inputs

Application
The input cable is longer than recommended 30 m (100 ft)

Requirements

• AWG 28-16

Installation with one door

Application
Standard one-door installation with conguration in AXIS Camera Station

Considerations

• 24 V fail-secure lock
• PoE Class 4 switch
• All peripheral consumption within the controller’s power budget

AXIS Camera Station configuration

1. Add a door
2. Connect to a door controller
3. Select Relay 1 for the first lock
   Locks
4. Add a door monitor and assign it to I/O 5
5. Add an OSDP reader on door side A and assign it to Reader port 1
6. Add a REX device on door side B and assign it to I/O 6

Installation with two-door interlock

Application
Two-door interlock installation with configuration in AXIS Camera Station (One door can only open when the other has closed)

• two doors connected to one controller
• two doors connected to two controllers

Considerations

• Door monitors with a max current rating from lock
• Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) door monitors
• 24 V fail-secure locks

Setup

1. Congure one DPDT door monitor
   a. Connect one pole as input for door 1 monitor
   b. Connect the other pole in serial to door 2 lock
2. Configure the other DPDT door monitor
   a. Connect one pole as input for door 2 monitor
   b. Connect the other pole in serial to door 1 lock

AXIS Camera Station configuration

1. Create door 1 and door 2 that connect to the same controller
2. Assign door lock to Relay 1 for door 1
3. Assign door monitor to I/O 5 for door 1
4. Assign door lock to Relay 2 for door 2
5. Assign door monitor to I/O12 for door 2

Possible reader options

Application
Two wiring options (OSDP and Wiegand) for the controller with configuration in AXIS Camera Station

Considerations

• PoE Class 4 switch
• All peripheral consumption within the controller’s power budget

AXIS Camera Station configuration

1. Add a door
2. Connect to a door controller
3. Add an OSDP reader on door side A and assign it to Reader port 1
4. Add a Wiegand reader with Dual wire LED control on door side B and assign it to Reader port 2

Possible relay options for A-line products

Application
Configuration of A-line relays with jumpers Applicable for:

• Axis door controllers
• Axis I/O relay modules

For product-specific voltage and specification for the relay, see the product datasheet.

Adhere to local life safety code in all installations.
Ensure that your power supplies and relays are rated for the intended purposes.
