Cypress Suprex SPX-5500 Series
Overview:
The SPX-5500 series of RF Wireless solutions provide a wireless bridge from card readers with gates or door hardware to
most access control manufacturerʼs panels. The SPX or Suprex products include both the remote ( Door/Gate ) unit and
the central ( AC Panel ) unit.
Features:
-- Service mode for setup and configuration.
--“Quiet” protocol to conserve bandwidth and power
-- Field configurable reader formats
-- Multifunction indicator for determining operational status of the unit
-- Auxiliary I/O connections available for Door/Gate/Panel status signaling.
-- Multiplexing of RF bridge providing for additional door/gate on a single RF link. (future)

Cypress Suprex RF Series - Introduction
SPX-5000 Series:
This manual covers the operation and setup of the Cypress Suprex RF (5000 Series) units. Several
configurations are available with different enclosure and antenna options.
All of the units with the 5000 series part number will have the same operational functions and electrical
connections.
Features:
-- DES56 Encryption for secure communications
-- Units are factory configured as matched pairs, no field channel setting is required.
-- Service mode for setup and configuration.
--“Quiet” RF protocol to conserve bandwidth and power
-- Field configurable reader formats
-- Multifunction indicator for determining operational status of the unit
-- Auxiliary I/O connections available for Door/Gate/Panel status signaling.
Electrical Specifications:
(Each Unit)
Supply Voltage# # 8-16VDC
Current# # # 500mA
Radio Specifications:
Frequency# # # 900 MHz ISM band
Type ## # # Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
Transmit Power# # 100mW
Receive Sensitivity## -110 dBm
Interference Rejection# 70dB
Antenna Options and typical range:
Internal - Up to 500 feet #(SPX-5501)
Dipole - up to 1 Mile (SPX-5511)
Yagi - Up to 12,000 feet. (SPX-5531)
Distances given are typical line of sight. Actual distance will vary depending upon terrain, RF environment, and
height of antenna.
The units are shipped configured as a matched pair and are ready to plug in and operate.
The RF units are capable of operating with multiple pairs of units in the same environment. Units on different
channels can operate in the same area with minimal interference to each other. Unit channel selection is made
at the factory and no field settings are necessary. Up to 8 pairs of units can operate in the same area. A serial
number sticker will be present on the unit to indicate the paired units. Units matched as a pair will have the
same serial number or other identification labels.
Individual units should maintain a 24" separation distance from each other when installed in a central location.
