1.5 Installation Review
This part is focused on the installation process, providing an overall
installation plan to help users learn about the planning and final
operation of the system. The installation is divided into three steps and
detailed description will be covered in the following chapters.
5
Installation Steps:
The overall installation steps are shown in the following block diagram.
The detailed descriptions are given in the subsection below:
Step 1: Preparing for the Installation
• Obtain a floor plan
• Determine the hardware and location
• Determine the number of controllers and
modules and system architecture
Step 2: Hardware Installation
• Mount the controller
• Install and connect the card readers
• Connect electric strikes or mag locks
• Connect the controller to the system
computer and desktop reader
•Mount a backup battery in the enclosure
Step 3: Software Setup/Configuration
•Install the software in the control computer
Setup the user accounts who will use the software
•
• Configure the controller and all other hardware settings
• Configure the holidays, access group and the door
control schedule
•Enroll the cards and set the cardholders’ properties
1.6 Prepartion for the Installations
Before beginning the installation process, EverAccess recommends that
the user properly prepare by gathering certain information. Proper
6
preparation will help ensure a smooth installation, and will save the
installer time and hassle in the long run. The following information is
essential for a professional installation:
1.6.1 Obtain a Floor Plan
Obtain a floor plan of the building in which the access control system is
to be installed. Obtaining a floor plan helps the installer determine what
components need to be installed, and where. It also is essential in
determining the length of cable needed to connect readers to the
controller. A floor plan can be a blue print of the building, a design, or
simply a drawing of the facility. Any document showing the footprint of
the building can be used. The dimensions are important to note,
especially when determining cable lengths. A floor plan may be obtained
from your local city hall.
1.6.2 Determine Hardware and Location
Determining which hardware to use and where it will be installed. This is
the most crucial step in the preparation stage. First, determine how
many access points, or doors, need to be managed by the access
control system. These access points will control the security of the
facility, and can limit the entry and exit to and from any given area of the
building. After deciding which doors need to be controlled, the user must
also determine the level of security needed at each door. There are
many ways to manage each door, using different resources. These
resources include, but are not limited to: proximal readers, magnetic
stripe readers, relays, and request-to-exits. A few common door
configurations are described below:
1)One reader, basic access control
The most basic configuration involves one card reader and an electric
strike. In this configuration, a person presents a card to the reader, and
is either granted or denied access. The electric strike unlocks if the
system grants access. In addition, this scenario can monitor whether the
door is open, which allows the system to protect against propped open
doors, or doors being held open for too long.
7
E
V+V
2)One reader, with request to exit device
Adding a request to exit device to scenario 1 allows the system to control
when to allow people to exit through a door. Request to exit devices
include buttons that a person must press in order to exit, or a motion
detector that automatically unlocks the door when a person approaches.
These devices are always installed on the secure side of the door.

Fig. 1.2 A Common Door Configuration with Entry Reader
3) Two readers, entry and exit access control
If additional security is needed at a particular door, or if the administrator
needs a record of the time and date that people enter AND exit a door.
Adding a second reader on the secure side of the door will require
people to present a card to exit as well as enter. This scenario provides
the added security benefit of allowing the system to control who can
enter, and who can exit. It also allows the administrator to control when
people can enter and exit.
Scenario 1 and 2 require one reader. Scenario 3 requires two. Each
door module on the EverAccess Flex II controller can control two
readers. Therefore, scenarios 1 and 2 allow one door module to control
two doors. Scenario 3 requires one door module for each door. This is
important to consider when choosing the appropriate number of modules
and readers.
1.6.3 Determine System Structures, Number of Controllers
and Modules
User needs to determine how many controllers are needed, and whether
an Ethernet interface is required. Each EverAccess Flex II controller can
8
accommodate up to 8 readers. If the system need to be installed
requires more than 8 readers, additional controllers are necessary.
These controllers can be connected to the system as described in
chapter 3.
If one or more controller is to be installed at a different location than the
system computer is to be installed, an Ethernet interface is required to
connect over the internet. An Ethernet interface may also be used in
locations at which the controllers are installed a long distance away from
the system PC. Please refer to chapter 3 for more details on installing
the Ethernet interface.

2 Hardware Installation
In this chapter, after preparing for the installation, the user is ready to
begin the install. This section will describe, in general terms, how to
install the hardware. Here are the following 5 steps:
1) Mount the enclosure (enclosure optional) and controller
2) Install and connect the card readers
3) Connect the electric strikes or mag locks
4) Connect the controller to the system computer and system reader (system reader optional)
5) Mount a backup battery in the enclosure (optional)
2.1 Mounting the Enclosure and Controller
The controller is an essential part of the access control system. We
recommend mounting it in an EverAccess EPN-871-B metal enclosure
(also sometimes referred to as a panel or a can). The controller should
be mounted in a location that is convenient and easily accessible, but
also secure. The controller acts as the brain of the access control
system and can be used to make changes to the database. When
choosing a location to mount the controller, choose a clean, dry location
that will allow the administrator easy access to make changes to the
system, but that can be secured from the general public. The enclosure
must be mounted on a sturdy wall using fasteners or anchors (to be
provided by the installer). If you are using an EverAccess EPN-871-B
metal enclosure there must be an AC power outlet for the enclosure in
order to power the controller. (The EverAccess EPN-871-B metal
enclosure uses a built in 15 V DC power supply with 110V AC input.) In
addition, the system computer should be near the controller, so that the
controller can be connected to the PC, allowing the administrator to
utilize the Flex Series software. If the system requires additional door or
alarm modules, install them in the controller before mounting the
controller in the enclosure or on the wall.
10
Please Note: If the controller screw holes do not line up properly with the
enclosure some filing may be needed for adjustment.
The EverAccess Controller package includes two support frames to
elevate the controller in order to make wire connections more
convenient. The installation is described in the steps below:
Step 1. Mount the two support frames on a wall or on the interior of the
EverAccess enclosure. When mounting to a wall, use the mounting
template included in the packaging to help position the holes to mount
the controller on a wall. If using the EverAccess enclosure, use the four
pre-drilled holes on the back wall of the enclosure.
Step 1 Step 2
Fig. 2.1 Mounting the Controller Step1 and Step 2
Step 2. Mount the controller base board.
1) Place the controller base board on the support frames. Line up the
four latches on the support frames with the holes on the controller
base board. Once lined up, slide the controller base board down to
secure it in place. At this point the two screw holes on the top two
corners of the controller base board should be aligned with the
corresponding holes on the support frame.
2) Secure the controller base board to the support frames with the two
screws (provided in the controller package.
Step 3. Install and mount additional door modules or the alarm module
11
1) Connect the pins on the lower right corner of the new module to the
connector on the bottom left corner of the installed module. Make
sure that the pins fit snugly into the receiving module.
2) Secure the module to the controller base board using the three
screws (provided in the module package)
Fig 2.2 Mounting the Controller Step 3
2.2 Installing a Module to Controller
EverAccess Flex II series controller can hook up to 4 door modules and
1 alarm module. Please note only ONE alarm module can be installed to
the controller. Each door module is cascaded to its left side module till
the main module. The door modules and the alarm module can be
placed in any sequence. The index will follow the same rules (refer to
next subsection). The steps to install a new module are described below:

2.4.3 Door Module Terminal Definition
The terminals on the door modules are classified into two groups, each
of which controls two doors and the corresponding readers. The right
side terminals (indexed from #1~#16) control one reader, while the left
side terminals (indexed from #17~#32) are responsible for the 2nd
reader, as shown in Fig. 2.7. As described in the “reader/door index
conversion” section of the manual, the reader’s index depends on the
door module to which it is connected. For example, consider one door
module where terminals #1 ~#16 control Reader 1, and #17~#32 control
Reader 2. Table 2.3 shows the definition and wiring details for the door
module terminals. The definitions of the door module terminals are
defined in the table 2.3.
