The Aperio system
The Aperio system is used in the following way:
The user holds an RFID card in front of the lock.
The lock sends card credentials wirelessly to the
Communication Hub and the Communication
Hub (wired through RS-485, Ethernet or Wiegand)
then communicates with an EAC (Electronic
Access Control) system. The EAC system then
makes the access decision. The decision is sent via
the Communication Hub to the lock and access is
granted or denied.
The Aperio Programming Application
The Programming Application is used for the
configuration of a door installation. It is installed
on a laptop. The laptop has an Aperio USB radio
device connected to one of its USB ports. The USB
radio device enables the application to connect
via a Communication Hub to the door lock. The
lock communicates via the Communication Hub
either with the EAC or with the Programming
Application. Read more in the Aperio Online
Programming Application Manual.

3 Planning the Installation
It is very important to find the best possible
placement of the communication hub, in
order to get at stable and reliable radio link.
Depending on the floor plan of the installation
site, type of communication hubs used, use of
external antenna and presence of disturbances
will all affect the positioning of communication
hubs. Follow these guidelines to find the best
installation placement, also see following sections
for installation examples.
Placement options for communication
hub
General installation guidelines:
∙ Try to install so that locks and communication
hub ”see” each other with the LED on the
communication hub “pointing” towards the lock.
∙ If this is not possible, find a placement so that
there are no concrete and metal objects in
between the lock and the communication hub.
∙ Avoid installing the communication hub in a low
position, where radio waves can be blocked by
objects or people passing by during operation.
∙ When the internal antenna is used, the radio
coverage backwards is limited to 0.5 m/3 ft
for AH15 and 3 m/10 ft for AH20/30/40. The
coverage also depends on the type of wall it is
installed on.
∙ When the external antenna is used, the radio
coverage will be focused perpendicular to the
direction of the antenna and in some directions
the range may decrease. However the maximum
range will not increase. See section "Radio
coverage for external antenna" on page 18 for
details.
∙ The lock and the communication hub should
be placed on the same side of the door. Shorter
distance and “light” materials in the walls also
permits placement on opposite sides.
∙ Be aware of that nearby metallic sheet or mesh
will attenuate the radio signal. Inner ceiling,
for example, is sometimes covered with foil or
metallic mesh.
∙ Mirrors, heat insulating windows and larger
metallic objects (like cable ladders) have a
significant effect on radio signals and should
not be closer than 20 cm (8 inches) from lock or
Communication Hub.
∙ In difficult environments (for example where
heavy radio interference is expected), or
when the requirements on the radio link
quality are very high, it is recommended to
keep the distance between the lock and the
communication hub well below the maximum
recommended distance. There is no minimum
distance.

Evaluating radio interference
Always evaluate the installation site for possible
sources of disturbance. Follow these installation
guidelines regarding disturbances to ensure
adequate functionality:
> 3.5 m/
~ 12 ft
∙ WiFi/WLAN routers and other radio transmitters
operating in the 2.4 GHz band should be
kept at least 3.5 meters/12 feet from the
Communication Hub and lock.
∙ Other possible sources of interference include
microwave ovens, electric motors, wireless
emergency exit signs and other high power
electrical equipment. Keep at least 3.5 meters/12
feet distance to Communication Hub or lock.
In difficult environments with radio
interference or presence of metal objects
attenuating the signal it is recommended
to test the radio signal before mounting
the communication hub permanently.

Mechanical installation AH20/30/40
Placement options for AH20/30/40
The AH20/30/40 communication hub is designed
so that it can establish a reliable radio link
regardless of the mounting position (horizontal or
vertical) of the communication hub and the type
of lock being used.
It is recommended that the distance between the
lock and the communication hub is limited to 15
meters/50 feet, depending on the environment.
However, under good conditions (free air between
the units and limited radio interference from
other transmitters) the distance can be extended.
The following pages show typical installations
based on field experience that will give a good result for radio link quality. The colors indicate which
hubs and Aperio door locks that belong together.

Radio coverage for external antenna
The general guideline for using an external
antenna is to obtain radio coverage in a even
globe around the external antenna. Note that
the external antenna does not extend the
maximum range, which is still 15 m/50 ft.
An example of a situation where external
antenna could be used is when the placement
options are limited for the communication hub.
The following figure illustrates the difference in
radio pattern for external and internal antenna.
(Note that this is only an simplified picture of
the radio reception for each antenna, showing
the theoretical characteristics. The real radio
coverage also vary for each installation site.)

DIP 6-8 – RS-485 bus settings
DIP switch 6 and 7 activate pull up and pull
down-resistors, which must be enabled once
per bus. Either in the EAC system (see the EAC
documentation for the EAC in use, for use of
pull up or pull down on the EAC side), or on one
communication hub on the RS-485-bus.
DIP 8 is used to terminate the bus, which is
activated for communication hubs connected in
end position on the bus.
If there is more than one communication hub
to connect they should be connected in a daisy
chain. In this case, set DIP switches 6-8 in OFF
position for all communication hubs, except for
the communication hub at the end of the bus
which must have DIP switch 8 in ON position. The
RS-485 bus must be terminated on the EAC side.

Credentials are transmitted as received.
ON => Addition of parity bits is enabled.
Controls use of Red LED signal for access
decision.
ON = Red LED is used.
OFF = Red LED is ignored.
DIP 1 - Selecting LED input signals and access
decision
If the EAC system can send a signal that actively
asserts an access denied decision (Red LED), DIP 1
should be set to ON. This will give:
∙ Shorter response time at a denied access.
∙ Possibility to use override credentials in the lock.
The flowcharts below explain how the LED input
signals are used to derive an access decision. The
OFF and ON variants are depicted.

If the EAC system is using output signal Red LED for other purposes than to control the lock,
then this signal should not be connected to the communication hub. Set DIP switch 1 in position OFF in this case
If the EAC system is using output signal Green LED for other purposes than to control the lock,
then this signal should not be connected to the communication hub. Use a lock relay output or
another similar lock control output from the EAC system instead.
Use of override credential is not possible combined if DIP switch 1 in position OFF. The reason
is that the Hub produces an “access denied” decision based on time out in this case.
DIP 2 (Future use)
Note! This DIP must always be set to OFF.
DIP 3 - Parity bit
Note! Transmitted credentials may include parity
anyway, although addition of parity is disabled in
the Hub Wiegand EAC interface component.
The reason is that parity bits are usually already
included on the credential.
DIP 4 - Byte Order
Note! This setting is ignored if the credential
length does not make up complete bytes.
Note! The byte order received as input to the Hub
Wiegand EAC interface component in the case of
a 32 bit MIFARE UID credential is UID[3], UID[2],
UID[1], UID[0]. This means that the byte order is
already reversed earlier in the chain compared to
the order specified in RFID interface standard ISO
14443-3.
DIP 5 - Pairing mode
If DIP switch 5 is set to ON, pairing mode will be
activated. This means that after powering on the
communication hub it will automatically try to
pair with locks within reach. Automatic pairing
will only be made with unpaired locks. See ref [2]
Aperio Online Programming Application manual

a default Wiegand configuration that will fit
most EAC systems. However, customizing the
configuration can result in better performance.

If the EAC system can send a signal that actively
asserts an access denied decision (Red LED), DIP 1
should be set to ON.
This will give:
∙ Shorter response time at a denied access.
∙ Possibility to use override credentials in the lock.

The communication hub must be power cycled after any changes on the DIP switch, since the
state of the DIP switch is read only at startup. If the EAC system is using output signal Red LED
for other purposes than to control the lock, then this signal should not be connected to the
communication hub. Set DIP switch 1 in position OFF in this case.
If the EAC system is using output signal Green LED for other purposes than to control the lock,
then this signal should not be connected to the communication hub. Use a lock relay output or
another similar lock control output from the EAC system instead.
Use of override credential is not possible if DIP switch 1 is in position OFF. The reason is that the
communication hub produces an “access denied” decision based on time out in this case.
DIP 2 (Future use)
Note! This DIP must always be set to OFF.
DIP 3 - Parity bit
Note! Transmitted credentials may include parity
anyway, although addition of parity is disabled in
the Hub Wiegand EAC interface component.
The reason is that parity bits are usually already
included on the credential.
DIP 4 - Byte Order
Note! This setting is ignored if the credential
length does not make up complete bytes.
Note! The byte order received as input to the Hub
Wiegand EAC interface component in the case of
a 32 bit MIFARE UID credential is UID[3], UID[2],
UID[1], UID[0]. This means that the byte order is
already reversed earlier in the chain compared to

6 Appendix
Selecting the correct EAC address (AH15/AH30)
Selecting EAC addresses for communication hubs
and locks correctly during installation is important
in order not to cause address conflicts in your
installation.
The communication hubs can use different
address ranges depending on the installation:
∙ Address 1-15: For AH30 communication hubs
with one or several locks paired and AH15
∙ Address 16-31: For AH30/AH15 communication
hubs in single device mode (only one lock
paired). Address is selected by DIP Switch or the
Programming Application.
∙ Address 32-63: For AH30/AH15 communication
hubs in single device mode (only one lock
paired). Address is selected only by the
Programming Application.
communication hubs. Address is selected by DIP
Switch or the Programming Application.
The final lock EAC address depends on the
communication hub address. For AH15
communication hubs the lock address is equal to
the hub address. For AH30 communication hubs
the lock address is decided by the addressing
table.
Addressing table – normal address offset
An AH30 communication hub can pair with
up to 8 locks. When pairing several locks to a
communication hub, the following addresses are
used for the address range 1-15. Above this range
only one lock can be paired.

Installation examples
See below for examples of the most common
installations and how the addressing is made and
how possible address conflicts are avoided.
One-to-several installation
This is the default installation as described
in section "DIP 1-5 – Selecting the EAC address/
Automatic paring" on page 37, with up to 15
AH30 communication hubs paired with one or
several locks. Only the addresses 1-15 are used.
The addressing table above does not need to
be consulted in this type of installation, since all
the lock addresses used are unique. Addressing
is simply made by selecting a unique address for
each communication hub.

In the address range 1-15, AH30 communication
hubs can be used to pair several locks. In
the address range 16-63 only AH15 or AH30
communication hubs in single device mode can
be used to pair with only one lock. Some of these

In this installation example, no address conflicts
will occur since the lock address is equal to the
communication hub address (and provided that
the DIP Switches are set correctly with a unique
address for each communication hub).
Upgrading existing installations
When upgrading existing installations with new
locks or/and communication hubs or replacing old
hardware a general guideline is to first write down
the EAC addresses used originally in the installation
and consult the addressing table when adding
AH30 communication hubs.
Replacement of communication hubs in single
device mode
When replacing AH15/AH30 communication
hubs that are paired with one lock with a new/
reused communication hub, always make sure that
the replacement communication hub does not
have any locks paired. If so use the Programming
Application to unpair any locks.
Upgrading firmware in AH30 communication hubs
The latest firmware (2.6.0 or later) for AH30
communication hubs adds the functionality to use
DIP Switch addresses in the range of 16-31 (DIP
switch 5).
Before upgrading make sure that your existing
AH30 communication hubs do not have
DIP 5 activated. If DIP 5 is activated and the
communication hub is paired with only one lock,
AH15
. . . . . .. . .
0x21
AH15
0x2F
the firmware upgrade will result in that the EAC
address is changed according to DIP 5, for both the
communication hub and the lock.
Upgrading an AH15 installation with one-to-several AH30 communication hubs
If a maximum of 15 communication hubs will be
used after the upgrade, no address conflict will
occur, provided that all communication hubs use
a unique address. If more than 15 communication
hubs are used in the resulting installation,
address conflicts can occur when adding AH30
communication hubs in the address range of 1-15
with several locks paired.
1) Note the EAC addresses used in existing installation.
2) Consult the AH30 addressing table and select an EAC
address that is not in conflict with already installed
AH15 communication hubs in the address range
15-63.
3) If address conflicts occur you must change the
EAC address of one or several existing AH15
communication hubs. Also make sure that all
communication hubs are using a unique address.
