Installation Recommendations

Placement and Wiring

• The reader is designed for outdoor and indoor installation.
• When placing the reader, it is necessary to avoid installation on metal surfaces, as it can reduce the distance of access card reading, as well as the operation of the built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module.

Connecting Power to the Device

• A power cable with a suitable cross-section is used to supply the current consumption of the connected devices. Make sure to use two separate power supplies for the device and the actuators.

Wiegand Connection

• Connect the readers using the same Wiegand format and byte order to avoid differences in card code reading and subsequent confusion in the system.
• The Wiegand communication line length should be at most 328 ft (100 m). If the communication line is longer than 16.4 ft (5 m), use a UTP Cat5e cable. The line must be at least 1.64 feet (0.5 m) away from power cables.
• Keep the reader power line wires as short as possible to avoid a significant voltage drop across them. After laying the cables, ensure the power supply voltage to the reader is at least 12 VDC when the locks are on.

Connecting Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP)

• The OSDP uses an RS-485 interface that is designed for long-distance communications. It operates at up to 3,280 ft (1,000 m) with good resistance to noise interference.
• The OSDP communication line should be far from power cables and electric lights. A one-twisted pair, shielded cable, 120 impedance, 24 AWG should be used as the OSDP communication line (if possible, ground the shield at one end).

Connecting Electric Locks

• Connect devices via relays if galvanic isolation from the device is needed or if you need to control high voltage devices or devices with significant current consumption.
• To ensure reliable system operations, it is best to use one power source for the controllers and a separate one for the actuators.

Protection Against High Current Surges

• A protective diode protects the devices from reverse currents when triggering an electromagnetic or
  electromagnetically lock. A protective diode or varistor is installed near the lock parallel to the contacts.
• THE DIODE IS CONNECTED IN REVERSE POLARITY
  

  Diodes: (Connect in reverse polarity)	SR5100, SF18, SF56, HER307, and similar.
  Varistors: (No polarity required)	5D330K, 7D330K, 10D470K, 10D390K, and similar.

Example of connection to the terminal blocks of ICON and ICON-Pro Сcontrollers.

To connect the reader to third-party controllers, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• The voltage level at the power supply and at the reader may differ depending on the cable length and the resistance of the conductor.
• The recommended voltage should be at least +10 VDC.
• Use a multi meter in the VDC measurement mode to verify that the power supply voltage meets the recommended requirements.

OSDP Interface Connection Diagram

OSDP Interface Connection Diagram

BE SURE TO CONNECT THE GND OF THE CABLE FROM THE CONTROLLER TO THE GND OF THE AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY!
DO NOT USE POWER SUPPLIES WITH DIFFERENT VOLTAGE LEVELS!

All branches from the primary data cable should be kept as short as possible.
The length of taps from the primary data cable should be at most 8 inches.

Always route the main data cable away from power cables and sources of electrostatic interference.

Terminal resistors ensure that the “open” end of the cable is matched to the rest of the line, eliminating signal reflection.

The nominal resistance of the resistors corresponds to the wave impedance of the cable, and for twisted pair cables is typically 100 to 120 ohms.

Install a 120 ohm terminating resistor on the outermost reader if the cable runs more than 150 feet.

See RS-485 interface specifications for more information.

The Network Information subsection displays the:

• Device’s IP address.
• Network mode – Manual or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• Network mask.
• Gateway
• Domain Name Service (DNS).
• Network port of the device.
• Built-in Wi-Fi AP operation mode (“Always on” or “Timed”).

In the Hardware Information subsection, you can see the:

• Device model name.
• Device serial number.
• Current firmware version.
• Current hardware version of the device.
• Web version used by the device.
• The application programming interface (API) version used by the device.

Network

In the Network section, you can set up an Internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you can change the connection settings for the built-in Wi-Fi AP, and you can set its activity time.

The Network subsection provides the following functions:

• Click on the SSID name field to search for available Wi-Fi networks and enter the password to connect.
• Select DHCP for automatic network settings or Manual to enter all network settings manually in the available fields below, then click “Connect.”

The Wi-Fi AP subsection provides the following functions:

•  In the Local Wi-Fi AP name field, enter the device’s network name.
• In the Password field, enter the connection password.
• ”Enable hidden mode” checkbox: hides the AP’s built-in network name when searching. To connect to the device, you must know its name and enter it manually when connecting.
• In the “Wi-Fi Timer, min” field, enter a value from 1 to 60 minutes. If you enter 0, the access point will be on all the time.

Main

Embedded features

• Selecting RFID Readers makes the 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz built-in reader antenna modules active and configurable.
• Unchecked the “Enable” checkbox in the RFID Reader 125 kHz settings section to disable the ability to read identifiers of this format.
• Check the “Reverse byte order” checkbox to change the code reading order for 125 kHz identifiers.
• Unchecked the “Enable” checkbox in the RFID Reader 13.56 MHz settings section to disable the ability to read identifiers of this format.
• Select the desired Output Format from the list of supported Wiegand formats.
  Note: The choice of Output Format is determined according to the format used in the access control system and based on the type of identifiers. It is recommended to use the same format on all readers within an access control system. The default format for 13.56 MHz identifiers is Wiegand 34 bit.
• Check the “Reverse byte order” checkbox to change the code reading order for 13.56 MHz identifiers.
• Check the “Enable copy protection” checkbox to use the 13.56 MHz format ID verification mode for authenticity.
• Enter the ID encryption password.
  Note: The Copy Protection feature uses a unique password encryption method to encrypt private identifier memory areas. If the encryption password of the identifier and the reader match, then the reader will recognise the identifier. If there is no password or it is different, the identifier is ignored. Thus, all identifiers other than encrypted ones will be ignored. Copying an encrypted identifier means that only part of its code from open areas can be copied. At the same time, closed areas are difficult or impossible to copy.
  Bluetooth reader
• Check the “Enable” checkbox in the Bluetooth Reader section to enable the built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module. In the Name field, you can give the device a name that will be visible when scanning available Bluetooth connections.

The Wiegand Settings subsection and OSDP functionality are under development and will be available soon. Keep an eye out for updates.

Maintenance

The Firmware section displays the current version of the unit’s firmware.
Note: It is recommended to upgrade the device to the latest firmware version before use.
Note: The device must be connected to the Internet and close to a Wi-Fi router during the update.

• To download a new firmware version, connect to a network with Internet access in the Network section.
• Click the “Check & Update” button and wait until the update process completes.
• A modal window will prompt you to reboot the device.
• After restarting, verify that the device version has changed.

Note: The update duration depends on the Internet connection quality and firmware version but usually takes a maximum of 5 minutes.
