Wiring Diagram Description
The VS-AXESS-4ETL access controller unit serves as the central hub for managing access. It features multiple input and output terminals for connecting various peripherals.
Main Unit Connections:
- Power Input: A 12V DC power supply connects to the designated power terminals.
- Readers: Up to four readers can be connected via Wiegand interface (26-40) to ports like 1RD0, 1RD1, 1BUZ, 1DR, 1RD+ for Reader 1, and similar for Readers 2, 3, and 4. Each reader connection typically includes data lines, buzzer, and power.
- Electric Locks: Four electric locks can be controlled through dedicated lock terminals (Lock1, Lock2, Lock3, Lock4), supporting Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) configurations with a common (C) terminal.
- Exit Buttons: Four exit buttons connect to dedicated ports, functioning as switch signals to release doors from the inside.
- Door Magnet Feedback: Input terminals are available for door magnet sensors to provide feedback on door status (open/closed).
- Alarm Inputs: Terminals are provided for connecting various alarm devices such as IR sensors, smoke sensors, or other input devices.
- Alarm Outputs: Output terminals are available for triggering sound-light alarms or other signaling devices upon specific events.
- RS485 Communication: RS485 communication is handled via 485_A and 485_B terminals, allowing connection to other RS485 devices. A shield layer should be connected to ground for interference reduction.
- TCP/IP Communication: The system connects to a network via an Ethernet port (using CAT-5 cable) for TCP/IP communication.
Status Indicators:
- LED Indicators: The unit features LEDs for Power (12V), Device Run (RUN), Card Read Status (RDOK), and Door Status (4DOOR).
- RESET Key: A reset button is available to reboot the device and clear communication passwords. Holding it for 3 seconds after power-off clears the password.
TITAN VSAxess Software
The TITAN VSAxess software is compatible with Windows operating systems (2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 10) and manages the access control system. Key subsystems include:
- Access Control Management System
- Attendance Management System
- Real-time Monitor
- Alarm Management
Compatibility Note: Access control panels (Version 2.0) are only compatible with other Version 2.0 panels and the TITAN VSAxess software. They are not compatible with Version 1.0 panels or older VSAxess software.
Quick Start Guide
This section outlines the basic steps for setting up and configuring the access control system using the TITAN VSAxess software.
1. Search Controller
Action: Use the software to discover access control units on the local area network (LAN). This function relies on UDP communication and is limited to the same LAN segment; cross-gateway communication is not supported.
Visual Cues: When a network cable is connected, the Ethernet port's green light should be on, and the yellow light should flash. Ensure IP addresses are unique.
2. Add Controller
Action: Add the discovered controller to the software. This involves configuring its network settings, including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The software allows detection of controller connections.
Software Interface: Navigate to 'Controller List' and use the right-click menu to 'Add Controller'. The 'Property Bar' displays device type, version, and MAC address. 'Hardware Setup-Controller' allows filling in details like controller name, model, and door quantity.
3. Add Card
Action: Add identification cards to the system. Cards can be added manually, via a card distributor, or through the controller itself.
Software Interface: Access 'Employee Setup-Card'. Select the controller from a dropdown menu. Presenting a card to a connected reader will display its number and add time in the 'Card List'. Note that each card number can only be added once, and deleting a card will remove associated employee data.
4. Add Employee
Action: Register employees in the system and assign them access credentials.
Software Interface: Navigate to 'Employee Setup-Employee'. Right-click to 'Add Employee'. Input employee details, including name and a unique code. Assign available cards to employees. Employees can also be registered in bulk by importing from an Excel file.
Access Levels: The default administrator group has unrestricted access. Each employee can be assigned a unique 6-digit password for access.
5. Download Setup
Action: Transfer system configurations to the access control units.
Software Interface: Use the 'Other-Download Setup' option. Three methods are available: 'Download setup' (current device), 'Download all setups' (all devices), and 'Smart download' (only updated contents). If a device is offline during 'Download all setups' or 'Smart download', an error will be prompted. Successful operations are indicated in the 'Task Report' with green text; failures are shown in red.
Important Notices
- Always power off the device before wiring.
- Ensure wiring is correct before powering on.
- The power supply output current must be at least 1.3 times the device's working current.
- It is recommended to use a separate power supply for locks.
- All devices must be connected to a common Ground (GND).
- RS485 communication requires a daisy-chain connection.
- Maintain at least 10cm distance between different readers to avoid interference.
- Implement strong and weak signal isolation for the system.
- Keep strong and weak wiring parallel runs at least 20cm apart.
- Connect the shield of RS485 cables to GND to prevent interference.
- When multiple devices are connected via RS485, add a 120Ω resistance between the 485+ and 485- terminals of the last device.
- Readers should not be installed directly on metal surfaces.
