Installation and Wiring
Precautions:
- CAUTION: Shut off all power before wiring.
- Maintain a clean and safe environment.
- Be aware of pedestrian traffic and stop it when necessary.
- Dissipate electrostatic discharge (ESD) before handling circuit boards.
- Check wiring placement to avoid damage from moving parts.
- Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards (e.g., ANSI A156.10).
- DO NOT attempt internal repairs; unauthorized repairs void the warranty and may be hazardous.
Wiring Diagram:
The BR2-900 connects to the locking device and door control system. Power (12-24 VAC/VDC) is supplied to the POWER terminals. Relays 1 and 2 are DRY contact outputs and do not provide power to the locking device; external power must be supplied.
Relays 1A and 1B activate simultaneously, as do Relays 2A and 2B. Relays 1B and 2B are typically used for applications with two locking devices or independent door controls.
Input Functions:
- INPUT D/N (Day/Night Mode): When open, allows transmitters learned in both SECURE and UNSECURE modes to function. When closed, only allows UNSECURE transmitters to function.
- INPUT AUX: Functions independently of learn mode, DIP switch, or potentiometer settings.
User Interface and Configuration
DIP Switches:
DIP switches configure the module's functionality:
DIP | STATUS | FUNCTION | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|---|
1 | STD | standard mode | Allows only learned/programmed transmitters to function. |
1 | UNI | universal mode² | Allows learned/programmed and "universal transmitters" to function. |
2 | STD | standard mode | Pressing/holding or pressing/releasing transmitter activates and holds relay according to HOLD TIME POTs (single shot). |
2 | EH | extended hold | Pressing/holding transmitter holds relay as long as transmitter is pressed/held. Once released, relay acts according to HOLD TIME POTs. |
Notes:
- Day/Night mode does not function when DIP-switch 1 is set to UNI.
- Refer to the Universal Mode section for details.
Learn Buttons:
Up to 75 transmitters can be programmed as UNSECURE or SECURE.
- UNSECURE transmitters: Learned transmitter functions when INPUT D/N is open or closed.
- SECURE transmitters: Learned transmitter only functions when INPUT D/N is open.
Potentiometers:
Control output relay functionality:
- HOLD 1: Relay 1 hold time (0.5 - 10 seconds).
- HOLD 2: Relay 2 hold time (0.5 - 10 seconds).
- DELAY: Delay between relay 1 and relay 2 (0 - 30 seconds).
Signal Strength Indicator:
Press and hold a transmitter button for three seconds to activate the signal strength LED:
- GREEN: Strong wireless signal.
- YELLOW: Moderate wireless signal.
- RED: Weak wireless signal.
Transmitter Configuration:
Handheld Transmitter Configuration:
- Set DIP switches as desired (refer to page 3 for settings).
- Press and release the desired Learn button (red LED on BR2-900 illuminates).
- Press the transmitter twice (white and blue LEDs on receiver illuminate).
- Adjust POTs (R1, R2, DELAY) as desired (refer to page 3 for descriptions).
Push Plate Configuration:
- Connect transmitter¹ to push plate (NO and COM) and insert into box. (¹10TD900PB required for push plates).
- Install push plate.
- Follow steps 1-4 in Handheld Transmitter Configuration.
Universal Mode:
Universal transmitters (e.g., 10TD900HH1U) are automatically recognized by the BR2-900 and do not require programming. Standard transmitters must be programmed as "Secure" or "Unsecure" during configuration.
Setup Examples:
- Simultaneous pair with independent controls: Door 1 and Door 2 open simultaneously.
- Simultaneous pair with independent controls and electric exit devices: Relay 1 triggers electric exit device power supply; Relay 2 activates controls.
- Pair of doors with independent controls and an astragal: Door 1 opens, then Door 2 opens after a delay set by DELAY POT.
- Pair of doors with MAGLOCKS and independent controls: MAGLOCKS drop simultaneously, and doors open after a delay set by DELAY POT.
Removing Transmitters
- Single Transmitter: Press BOTH learn buttons until the red LED flashes once (~2 s). Then press the transmitter TWICE within 10 seconds.
- All Transmitters: Press BOTH Learn buttons until the blue LED illuminates (~10 s).
Battery Replacement
- Handheld Transmitter (TD900HHx): Remove back screws, disassemble, and replace the 3V (CR2032) battery, observing polarity. Reassemble.
- Push Plate (TD900PB): Replace 2 AAA batteries, observing polarity.
Low Battery Indicator: After a transmitter button is pressed, three (3) red LED blinks on the transmitter indicate low battery.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
BR2-900 will not react to any inputs | Incorrect power | Verify power supply of 12 – 24 VAC/VDC ±10% is wired to correct terminals. |
Not programmed | Ensure a BR2-900 is programmed with wireless transmitter. | |
Incorrect wiring | Verify wiring. | |
BR2-900 has no output | Defective BR2-900 | Replace BR2-900. |
Incorrect output devices | Ensure proper devices are connected to outputs. | |
Incorrect wiring | Verify wiring. | |
Red LED on receiver flickering; unable to program | Incorrect settings | Verify programming and potentiometer settings. |
Defective BR2-900 | Replace BR2-900. | |
Push Plate is stuck | Disconnect push plates to determine which one is stuck (LED should go out). | |
Weak signal | Antenna positioned poorly | Position antenna outside of door header. |
