STEPS IN A COMPREHENSIVE INSTALLATION

4 Step s in a Comprehensive Installation

Every installation is unique. Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be hand led in a standard fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recognizable. This document addresses the issues that may be faced with during a standard installation. The steps for a successful installation are:

• Planning the Installation – Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and

the location and number of Readers required.

• Unpack All Items – Unpack all items and cross check against packing list.

• Install Components – Install the cabling and components needed to run system

• Install Software – Install the software needed to set up the Readers.

• Configure ports on the PC – Configure the PC ports to support reader.

• Connect reader for configuration – Connect Reader to USB cable and supply power to unit.

• Mount Readers – Mount the Readers in their final locations.

• Power distribution and reader hook up – Reader wiring via the back panel.

• Power-up Procedure – Check proper power connections and start system safely.

• User interface –Users can begin to use system.

This manual will provide more information on each of these steps in order.

WARNING. PIV-Station readers must be installed by a qualified technician. If at anytime you do not feel qualified to perform a task, call Bioscrypt technical support or contact a qualified installer.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

5 Planning the Installation

Planning the installation is probably the single most important aspect to a successful installation. By the time you are installing the system all of these details should already be known. If not, take a moment to go through them now before beginning installation of any Readers. Planning for installation mus t take in to consideration: the access controller, the door locks, the readers, and the need for a network.

During the planning phase, you should determine:

• What type of authentification is required for your application?

• How many doors need to be protected? The PIV-Station readers control access to a controll ed area;

areas that do not require access control don’t need readers.

• What type of reader will be on each door? Doors already inside a secure area may not need the same

type or level of security.

• If multiple PIV-Station readers require networking for template distribution/management, then a

dedicated PC is recommended to administer the system as well as an RS-485 – RS-232 converter and cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet.

• Verify that the access controller supports any of the Wiegand formats supported by the PIV-Station

readers.

• When planning the system, identify all wiring by the signal levels they are to carry. Use separate

cable/conduit for different signal groups to avoid cross talk. Plan to separate them by the following groups:

1. Power distribution: Wires carry power to readers, door strikes, etc.

2. Data communication: RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc.

3. Signal: Door contact, request to exit push button, alarm input, etc.

• Determine any distance limitation of each type of signal when planning reader placement and use

repeaters as needed.

• Consider the environment where the equipment will operate, it may be necessary to protect the

installation with a Bioscrypt approved weather shield.

• Available quality earth ground.

If you have any unresolved issues with the items on this list contact B ioscrypt Technical Support for additional information before beginning any installation.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION

7 Component Installation

7.1 Basic Component Installation

The PIV-Station readers do not have built-in relays that would allow them to control a door lock, and therefore, they must be part of a larger access control system. System component selection is very specific to each installation but a minimum system would consist of a finger-scan reader mounted on or near an access point, an electric lock, cabling, and the access controller. More complex systems might consist of readers on multiple access points, each with an electric door lock, a multi-point controller, networking and a PC to run the access controller and VeriAdmin Management Software. See Figure 3 below for an example (not for Ethernet).

The installation of the locks and access controllers should be completed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and in accordance with all lo cal codes. Final connections to the PIV-Station will be cove red in more detail later.

Wiegand, RS-232, and power cabling for the system are minor aspects to the installation, requiring nothing more than planning the cabling route and pulling the cable through the building. It requires only that one is familiar with basic electrical installation theory.

Do not run any wires near utility AC power wiring, lightning rod grounding wire, and etc. to avoid external ly generated transients. Grounding equipment is required for ESD protection and safety.

7.2 Choosing a Network Type

If your installation requires the use of network communications, then the choice of cable, the cable run length, the network topology, and termination of the network are very important aspects that must not be overlooked. Table 1 outlines the relevant differences between an RS-485 and R S-232 communications. If your s ystem has one or a few readers each only a short distance away from the VeriAdmin PC then RS-232 could be us ed providing that each reader can have a dedicated RS-232 port.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION

Spec RS-485 RS-232

Mode of Operation: Differential DC Coupled Single-ended DC Coupled DC Isolation: No No Max. Distance: 4000 ft.* 150 ft.* Number of Readers on one line: 31 1 Max. Data Rate 56 kbps 56 kbps* *Communications distances are dependent on baud rate (bps). For example, with RS-232 at 9600 baud, a distance of 150 feet is possible with shielded cable, but at 56 k-baud (kbps) a maximum of 20 feet is recommended.

Table 1: RS-485 / RS-232 Communications Comparison

7.2.1 Basics of RS-485 networks

RS-485 is a networking specification similar to Ethernet, which is used for computer networks but RS-485 is not compatible with moder n com p ut er n e tworks.

RS-485 has two distinct advantages over the more common RS-232. First, it allows you to connect up to 31 PIV-Station readers to a PC using an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter available from Bioscrypt. Second, the RS-485 specification allows for cable run lengths up to 4000 feet (1200 meters) at modest baud rates.

An RS-485 network is required instead of RS-232 if:

• There are multiple readers that must be connected together so that templates can be distributed among the readers

• There is only a single reader, but it is over 150 feet (45 meters) from the host PC.

7.3 RS-485 Cable Specification

The PIV-Station readers provide a 2-wire, half-duplex RS-485 interface. The main run cable should be low capacitance, twisted pair cable, with approximately 120-ohm characteristic impedance. Category 5 rated communications cable is used in RS-485 net works and is defined i n Table 2. T his i s the recommended c abling for RS-485 communications. The cable connection includes a differential line (+ and -) and a GND connection.

Spec Recommendation

Capacitance (conductor to conductor) <20 pF/ft. Characteristic Impedance 100 – 120 ohms Nominal DC resistance <100 ohms/1000 ft. Wire gauge 24 AWG stranded Conductors/Shielding >2 pair (shielded optional)

Table 2: Cat 5 Cable Characteristics

In certain electrically noisy environments, a shielded cable may be required. It is often hard to determine if shielded cable is required in an application or not but since the cost difference between shi el ded a nd unshielded cables is very small, it’s worth using the shielded type.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION

7.3.1 RS-485 Cable Lengths

The total length of the communication cable (adding up all of the segments of the run) should not exceed 1200 meters (4000 feet) as outlined in the specification for RS-485. Although the RS-485 specification calls out a maximum cable length of 1200 meters and a maximum baud rate well above that of the PIV-Statio n reader, a more conservative system should be configured for no more than 1000 meters and running at a baud rate of 9600 bits per second. After the network is configured and is runnin g in a stable manner, the baud rate can be increased if faster network communications are desired.

Drops (down leads, stubs, T’s, T-connections) to equipment are not recommended, but if required, should not exceed 0.5 meters (about 1.5 feet) and should use the same cable recommended above. On a long stub, a signal that travels down the wire reflects to the main line after hitting the in put impedance of the reader at the end. This impedance is high compared with that of the cable and the net effect is de gradation of signal quality on the bus.

7.3.2 RS-485 Network Topology

Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a daisy chain (See Figure 4). Long stubs or drop downs (See 7.5 Cable lengths) and the star configuration should be avoided because they create discontinuities and degrade signal quality. The star configuration usually does not provide a clean signaling env ironment even if the cable runs are all of equal length. The star configuration also presents a termination problem, because terminating every endpoint will overload the driver. Terminating only two endpoints so lves the loading problem but creates transmission-line problems at the un-terminated ends. A true cascade or daisy chain connection avoids these problems.

Figure 4: Network Topologies - Star and Cascade (Daisy Chain)

7.3.3 Extending the RS-485 Specification

Some systems require longer distances or higher numbers of nodes than supported by RS-485. Repeaters are commonly used to overcome these barriers. An RS-485 repeater can be placed in a system to divide the load into multiple segments. Each refreshed signal is capable of driving another 1200 meters (4000 feet) of cable and an additional 31 RS-485 reader loads. The PIV-Station readers represent a single reader load to the transmission line.

7.4 Ethernet Networks

If your system will be configured for use over Ethernet, the wiring will be slightly different. Communication cables for Ethernet logically form a straight line bus but the more devices on that bus the less efficient the network becomes due to increased collisions and the weaker the signal will get over distance. Repeaters can be used to boost the signal strength however a better solution is to place switches at intermediate positions along the bus. The most common Ethernet topology in use today is the star configuration (See Figure 4) with a hub or switch in the center.
