Siemens SiPass Integrated Dual Reader Interface Module (ADD5100)

1. Product Description

The ADD5100 is a Reader Interface Module used as part of a Siemens integrated access control and security solution. It provides an interface between an Advanced Access Controller (ACC), up to 2 card readers, and other devices used to secure and monitor a door.

When a cardholder presents their access card at a reader (connected to an ADD5100), the ADD5100 interprets the encoded information and sends this data to the ACC. The ACC then checks its validity. If the appropriate permissions have been assigned to the cardholder, the ACC sends a message back to the ADD5100, allowing it to unlock the door and permit access.

30 minutes

1.6 Mounting Instructions

1. Remove the ADD5100 from its carton and discard the packaging material.
2. Place the ADD5100 (base-plate) against the surface to which it is to be affixed and mark the location of the mounting holes. If being mounted within a cabinet, align the ADD5100 base-plate with the holes located on the cabinet backplane and proceed to step 3. It is recommended that you affix the ADD5100 in at least four of the six mounting locations.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not apply power to the ADD5100 or associated components at this stage.

3. Select the appropriate drill bit according to the mounting surface / hole size and drill the holes in the locations marked (if required).
4. Fasten the ADD5100 (base-plate) to the surface using the correct type of screws or standoffs for the surface.
5. Connect the cabling to the ADD5100 PCB (as described in the next section titled 'Wiring').
6. Apply power to the ADD5100 and test its operation. This step may require installation and programming of the access control host software. The firmware and configuration are carried out using the FLN Field Service Tool.

1.7 Wiring

ℹ️ It is recommended that you wear a grounding strap while carrying out this procedure.

1. Connect an IN reader to the READER1 INTERFACE port and an OUT reader to the READER2 INTERFACE port if the ADD5100 has been configured to operate as a Dual Reader Interface. Alternatively, connect RS232 or RS485 output readers to the SMARTCARD RDR INTERFACE port. The readers must be wired correctly as outlined in the Reader Wiring tables in this installation sheet.
2. Connect the Request to Exit (REX) switch to the REX port.
3. Connect the door contact device to the DOOR/C port.
4. Connect auxiliary inputs (if required) to the AUX IN1 / AUX IN2 / AUX IN3 ports. Listed end-of-line resistors must be connected to the wires of each input device if they are to be supervised.
5. Connect the FLN wires (from the ACC) to the RS485 BUS port.
6. Connect the door strike / lock to the RELAY port. Ensure that power is also provided to the door lock / strike, and that this power supply is sufficiently rated to handle the load. If the door lock is likely to draw excess current or produce large voltage spikes, a diode bridge rectifier may need to be fitted.
7. Connect the auxiliary output device (if required) to the RELAY2 port.
8. If the FLN cable is long or subject to high noise, ensure that the jumper across link LK5 (EOL) has been made.
9. Connect the active and neutral wires from the Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the +Vdc IN port. Ensure the polarity of the connection is made correctly.
10. Check all connections thoroughly.
11. Power can now be applied to the ADD5100.

1.8 Reader Wiring

The following table outlines industry standard reader wiring to the ADD5100 (Reader 1 and 2):

The following table outlines the reader wiring to the ADD5100 for RS485 output readers:

1.9 Wiring of monitored input

The diagram illustrates the wiring of a monitored input to the ADD5100. It shows the IN1+ and IN1- terminals. The input signal wire's shielding is connected to the housing earth, while the input itself (e.g., door contact) is insulated from the shielding. Terminating resistors (R) are indicated for the input lines.

1. Connect the shielding to the housing earth.
2. Insulate the shielding at the input (e.g., door contact), do not connect it.
3. DC: Door contact.
4. R: Terminating resistors each 22 kOhm.

ADD5100 Port Locations

This diagram highlights the location of each port on the ADD5100 board. A table below the diagram lists each port by name (e.g., +Vdc IN, RS485 BUS, Reader Interface 1, RELAY 1) and provides a brief description of its function.

Wiring of Monitored Input

The diagram illustrates the wiring for a "monitored input" connection to the ADD5100. It shows the IN1+ and IN1- terminals. The input signal wire's shielding is connected to the housing earth, while the input itself (e.g., door contact) is insulated from the shielding. Terminating resistors (R) are indicated for the input lines.
