Installation Recommendations

Placement and Wiring

• Place controllers near Wi-Fi access points to minimize latency.
• Ensure Wi-Fi signal strength is at least -75 dB. Adjust access point placement or antenna if needed.
• Avoid placing the device on metal surfaces, as it can degrade Wi-Fi signal quality.

Connecting Power to the Device

• Make all connections with the power off.
• Use a power cable with adequate cross-section for connected devices' current consumption.
• Use two separate power supplies for the controller and actuators.

Wiegand Connection

• Use the same interface for readers to ensure consistent card code reading.
• Wiegand communication line length should not exceed 328 ft (100 m).
• For lines longer than 16.4 ft (5 m), use a UTP 5E cable.
• Keep the line less than 1.64 ft (0.5 m) away from power cables.

OSDP Connection

• Route OSDP communication lines away from power cables and electric lights.
• Use a UTP 5E or FTP 5 twisted-pair cable for OSDP communication.

Installation Recommendations (Continued)

Connecting Electric Locks

• Use relays for galvanic isolation if controlling high-voltage or high-current devices.
• Employ a protection diode or varistor for electromagnetic or electromechanical locks.

Relay Work Mode

• By default, the relay operates as a dry contact, allowing external voltage to contact "C".
• To use external power: select DRY, use NO or NC and C, and connect to an external power supply. This allows control of actuators with different power sources.
• In "WET MODE", power is supplied directly to the actuators. Connect locking hardware to NO and GND (fail-safe) or NC and GND (fail-secure) without an external power supply.
• To change relay mode: power off the device, select the mode via the circuit board switch, power on, verify D2 indicator light is on, and close the cover.
• Keep reader power lines short to minimize voltage drop. Ensure reader voltage is at least 12 V when locks are engaged.

Programming and Firmware

• ICON controllers can be programmed via a cloud service.
• Initial settings are configured via the ICON web interface.
• Always install the latest firmware version.
