2. Mounting Controller
Instructions for securely mounting the Red 1 enclosure to a wall.
3. Reader Connection
Details on wiring a reader to the Red 1 Controller. This includes connections for standard readers and OSDP readers. It emphasizes checking polarity and voltage before powering the controller. A jumper setting is noted for enabling OSDP mode.
4. Input A / DPS Connection
Describes the connection of a Door Position Switch (DPS) and an Auxiliary Input (AUX Input) to the controller. The DPS is mounted on the door frame. For double doors, two DPS sensors are wired in series. The AUX Input can be configured to trigger events or outputs.
5. Input B / REX Connection
Outlines the connection of a Maglock, a Request to Exit (REX) device, and an Auxiliary Input (AUX Input). It details wiring for a Maglock and a REX, including options for powered REX and reporting. A jumper block is used to designate (+) or (-) board voltage output for the relay, or it can function as a standard dry contact when the jumper is off.
6. Locking Relay
Provides guidance on wiring the locking relay for strikes or maglocks. A diode must be installed with a strike, with the grey stripe on the positive terminal and the black on the negative. The NC (Normally Closed) terminal is used for maglocks or strikes in fail-safe configurations, connecting the negative (-) of the device. The NO (Normally Open) terminal is used for strikes in fail-secure configurations, connecting the negative (-) of the strike. A jumper block is available to designate (+) or (-) board voltage output, or it can function as a standard dry contact when the jumper is off.
7. Communication Connections
Details the communication options. The controller features a built-in RJ45 Ethernet connection for network connectivity, allowing self-discovery via pdk.io using IPv6, or IPv4/static IP assignment. Optional Wireless (PN: RMW) and PoE (PN: RMPOE) module kits are available for additional communication capabilities.
8. Power Connection
Explains the power input methods. DC power is supplied via an included 14VDC, 2 amp transformer, with 18/2 wire recommended. For high voltage applications, a HV converter (PN: HVC) can be used. The enclosure accommodates most 12 VDC 8 Ah batteries, connected with supplied leads. Polarity sensitivity is noted. Battery backup provides up to 8 hours of operation when using a strike in fail-secure mode.
Reference Guide
Fire Input: For integrating fire systems with a Red 1 door controller, refer to wiring diagrams in the Partner Portal at www.prodatakey.com/resources.
Programming: After connecting the Red 1 controller to the Cloud Node, access configuration software as per the programming manual, available for download via the Partner Portal at www.prodatakey.com/pdkio.
Reader Compatibility: ProdataKey controllers support Wiegand input, including biometric readers and keypads. OSDP readers are supported via an included jumper (refer to OSDP reference guide). Contact support for details.
UL 294 Compliance: All equipment must meet UL certifications. For UL listed installations, cable runs must be less than 30 meters (98.5 feet).
OSDP Reference Guide
What is OSDP: Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is an access control communications standard from the Security Industry Association, enhancing interoperability, security, and functionality over Wiegand. It supports AES-128 encryption.
OSDP Wire Specification: Four (4) conductor twisted pair with overall shield is recommended for TIA-485 compliance at maximum baud rates and cable distances. Standard stranded cable typical of Wiegand readers may not meet RS485 twisted pair recommendations.
OSDP Multi-Drop: Allows multiple readers (up to four per port) using a single 4-conductor cable run, reducing wiring needs.
NOTE: Wiegand readers will not function when OSDP jumpers are installed.
