SALTO UBOX4000 Installation Guide

Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation of the SALTO UBOX4000 access control controller. It covers physical connections, electrical specifications, configuration procedures, and system signaling through LED indicators.

Unit Description and Connections

The SALTO UBOX4000 (Model: CU42E0) is designed for robust access control applications. The unit features a variety of terminals for power, reader interfaces, input sensors, and relay outputs.

Detailed diagrams illustrate the physical layout of the CU42E0 unit and its terminal connections, showing the placement and purpose of each connector.

Terminal Layout and Functions

The CU42E0 unit is equipped with the following terminals:

• Power Input: Accepts 12VDC at 1A.
• 12VDC Input
• GND: Ground connection.
• 12VDC Output (1A): Provides a 1A power output, protected by an internal fuse.
• BUS485 (A, B): For RS485 serial communication, typically used for connecting multiple devices on a bus.
• TAMPER: Input for connecting a tamper detection switch.
• IN1 - IN6: Six general-purpose inputs for connecting external devices such as door sensors, exit buttons, or other switches.
• READER 1: Primary connection port for the first access control reader.
• READER 2: Secondary connection port for a second access control reader.
• RL1 - RL4: Four relay outputs, configurable for controlling electric locks, alarms, or other auxiliary devices.
• Ethernet (10Base-T, 100Base-TX): For network connectivity, enabling communication over a LAN.

Note: Specific wiring requirements and compatibility for various SALTO readers (e.g., WRDx0E4, WRDx0S4, WRDx0A4, WRDxA.., WRDxE.., WRDxS.., WRDXM.., WRDxP..) are detailed in the respective reader's installation manuals.

Mechanical Installation

The UBOX4000 is designed for straightforward wall mounting. The installation process involves securing the unit and making the necessary electrical connections.

Diagrams demonstrate the physical mounting of the unit and the connection of the tamper switch. The tamper switch can be wired in parallel with the CU's dedicated tamper input. To disable the wall tamper detection feature, the internal jumper should be set to the OFF position.

Input Connections

The UBOX4000 supports multiple input protocols for reader integration, including Wiegand, Omron, and RS232 interfaces. These inputs allow for flexible reader selection.

Diagrams provide detailed guidance on input connection configurations for Wiegand, Omron, and RS232 reader types. They illustrate how to correctly wire readers and other input devices to the unit's IN1-IN6 terminals.

Supervised Input Connections

For applications requiring input supervision (e.g., monitoring door sensors), the UBOX4000 supports this functionality. The resistance values for supervised inputs (R1 and R2) are configurable via the SALTO software. Recommended resistance values include 1kΩ, 1k5, 2k2, 3k3, 4k7, 6k8, or 10kΩ.

Electrical Characteristics

Power Output: The 12VDC output port is directly connected to the power input and is protected by a 1A fuse.

Relay Output Specifications: Relays support a maximum resistive load of 2A at 30VDC. For inductive loads, it is recommended to use the provided varistor (maximum 24v AC/DC).

Cable Recommendations: Use UTP CAT5e for Ethernet connections, twisted pair cabling for BUS485 communication, AWG24 for input wiring, and AWG18 for reader connections.

Configuration

The SALTO UBOX4000 is configured using the SALTO ProAccess SPACE software. The setup involves preparing the network connection, detecting connected readers, and assigning an IP address to the unit.

Network Connection Preparation: Ensure the network connection is established using an Ethernet cable and that all DIP switches on the CU4200 are set correctly.

Reader Detection: To initiate reader detection, trigger a tamper alarm (by opening the unit's housing or disconnecting the tamper switch cable) and then briefly press the CLR button. Verify that the LEDs for READER 1 and READER 2 are illuminated (ON).

IP Address Assignment:

• The UBOX4000 operates as a DHCP-ready device by default.
• If a DHCP server is not present in the local network, the user can manually configure a static IP address via a web browser.
• To enter the addressing mode, press and hold the CLR button for approximately 5 seconds. The ON LED will blink orange.
• Access the unit's configuration interface by navigating to the default IP address 192.168.0.234 using a web browser.
• Within the interface, configure the necessary network parameters (IP Address, Netmask, Gateway) and click the 'Send' button to save the settings.
• The UBOX4000 will automatically exit the addressing mode after the configuration is saved. Alternatively, the mode can be exited manually by pressing the CLR button for 5 seconds.

Screenshots from the SALTO ProAccess software interface are provided, illustrating the steps for configuring network settings and assigning IP addresses.

Signaling (LED Indicators)

The LEDs located on the top of the CU unit provide visual feedback on the system's operational status:

• ON LED:
  • GREEN ON: Indicates the unit is receiving power correctly.
  • BLINKING RED: Signals a power supply issue; check the power source.
  • BLINKING ORANGE: Denotes that the unit is in addressing mode (IP 192.168.0.234 is active).
  • OFF: The unit is not powered.
• BUS485 LED: Status for UBOX4000 is to be defined.
• TAMPER LED:
  • ON: Tamper alarm is active.
  • OFF: Tamper alarm is inactive.
• IN1-IN6 LEDs:
  • ON: Input is active, based on the configuration set in the software.
  • OFF: Input is inactive, based on the configuration set in the software.
• READER LEDs:
  • ON: The connected reader is communicating with the CU.
  • OFF: The reader is not communicating with the CU. Press the CLR button to initiate the detection process.
• RL1-RL4 LEDs:
  • ON: The relay is activated (Normally Open - NO - contact is connected to Common - C).
  • OFF: The relay is inactive (Normally Closed - NC - contact is connected to Common - C).
