Important Safety Information

⚠️ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:

• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.
• To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.
• ANY maintenance to the CAPAC or in the area near the CAPAC MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power. Upon completion of maintenance, the area MUST be cleared and secured before the unit may be returned to service.
• CAPAC MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. The CAPAC should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• All power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled.

To protect against fire and electrocution:

• Disconnect power BEFORE installing or servicing CAPAC.
• NEVER connect a keypad/reader or lock to doors without first consulting the applicable fire code.
• You MUST consult with, and get approval from, local fire officials BEFORE installing locks or devices on ANY doors that may be fire exits.
• Use of egress push buttons may not be legal. Single action exits may be required.
• ALWAYS obtain proper permits and approvals in writing BEFORE installing equipment.

CAUTION:

• DO NOT connect the power supply to a switched outlet or otherwise controlled AC outlet.
• DO NOT connect the power supply to the 120 Vac outlet until ALL wiring is completed.

NOTE: In UL installations, the CAPAC shall be powered from the power limited output of a UL 294 Listed power supply, a UL 603 Listed power supply, a UL 294 Listed access control unit, or a UL 325 gate operator.

Connecting Power

The CAPAC unit features a terminal block for 12-24VDC power input.

Gate Access Configuration

This section details wiring for gate access systems.

Primary Relay

The Primary Relay can be wired for gate operation. Connect the Gate Operator's OPEN and COMMON terminals to the CAPAC's corresponding NO (Normally Open) and COMMON terminals.

Auxiliary Relay

The Auxiliary Relay can be configured for:

• Light: Connect to LOAD, LINE, and NEUTRAL terminals.
• Alarm Bypass: Connect COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN terminals.

Maglock / Electric Strike

For Maglocks or Electric Strikes:

• Connect to the Auxiliary Relay or Primary Relay (NORMALLY CLOSED/COMMON terminals).
• Power Requirement: Maglocks and electric strikes require a separate power supply (not provided). Do not use the controller's power supply.
• AC Power: For AC power, install a Siemens S10K30MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) or equivalent.
• DC Power: For DC power, install a 1N4005 diode or equivalent.
• Wiring: Use 18-22 AWG wire.

UL Installation Note: For UL installations, only a UL 325 Listed Gate Operator, UL 294 Listed electric door strikes, or UL 294 Listed Maglocks may be connected to relay output 1 or 2.

Diagram Description: The diagram shows the CAPAC unit with terminal blocks. Primary Relay connects to Gate Operator (OPEN/COMMON). Auxiliary Relay can connect to Light (LOAD/LINE/NEUTRAL) or Alarm Bypass (COMMON/NORMALLY OPEN). Maglock connects to Auxiliary Relay (NORMALLY CLOSED/COMMON) with appropriate surge protection (MOV/Diode) and separate power.

Door Access Configuration

This section details wiring for door access systems.

Primary Relay

The Primary Relay can be wired for:

• Door Strike: Connect to the Door Strike's power input and COMMON terminals. Use 18-22 AWG wire. For AC power, install a Siemens S10K30MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) or equivalent. For DC power, install a 1N4005 diode or equivalent. The connection is typically NORMALLY OPEN.
• Maglock: Connect to the Maglock's power input and COMMON terminals. Use 18-22 AWG wire. For AC power, install a Siemens S10K30MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) or equivalent. For DC power, install a 1N4005 diode or equivalent. The connection is typically NORMALLY CLOSED.

Supervised Door Status

For supervised door status, connect a Door Sensor (Non-Supervised or Supervised) to the CAPAC. This connection typically includes an EOL (End of Line) Resistor (1k ohm).

Auxiliary Relay

The Auxiliary Relay can be wired for Light or Alarm Bypass, similar to the gate access configuration.

UL Installation Note: For UL installations, only UL 294 Listed electric door strikes or UL 294 Listed Maglocks may be connected to relay output 1 or 2.

Diagram Description: The diagram illustrates connections for door access. Primary Relay connects to Door Strike (NORMALLY OPEN) or Maglock (NORMALLY CLOSED), with surge protection and separate power. Door sensors connect for supervised status, using EOL resistors. Auxiliary Relay options for Light and Alarm Bypass are also shown.

Door Access - Vestibule Configuration

This section provides wiring details for vestibule door access systems.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM IN THE FAIL SECURE MODE UNLESS PERMITTED BY THE LOCAL AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. Doing so may cause interference with the operation of panic hardware.

The wiring configurations for door strikes and maglocks are similar to the general Door Access section, including connections to the Primary Relay, Auxiliary Relay, and the use of surge protection (MOV/Diode) and separate power supplies where applicable. Door sensors for supervised status are also detailed.

UL Installation Note: For UL installations, only UL 294 Listed electric door strikes or UL 294 Listed Maglocks may be connected to relay output 1 or 2.

Diagram Description: Similar to the general Door Access diagram, this illustrates connections for door strikes, maglocks, and door sensors in a vestibule context, emphasizing the use of appropriate relays and protective components.

Wiegand Output

The CAPAC unit transmits pre-assigned credentials via the Wiegand output to a TES (Third Party Access System).

• Note: Disconnect power BEFORE making electrical connections.
• Connect the Wiegand output terminals (Data-1, Ground, Data-0) to the corresponding inputs on the Third Party Access System.

UL Installation Note: For UL installations, only a Listed UL 294 access control unit may be connected to Wiegand output 1 or 2.

Diagram Description: The diagram shows the CAPAC unit's Wiegand output terminals. It illustrates connections to a Third Party Access System Wiegand Input, labeled as TES / Access Control Wiegand, with specific terminals for Data-1, Ground, and Data-0.
