Installing the Door
Module into the Controller

In this chapter, we will introduce how to mount the door module into an EverAccess
Flex Series controller. The definitions for the reader/door index is also explained.

The EverAccess Flex series controller can accommodates up to 4 door modules and
1 alarm module. The door modules are connected from right to left, with each new
module connecting easily in a cascading fashion. 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 door module are described below:

1

Figure 2.1 Install a door Module to Controller

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.

3

2. Secure the module to the controller base board using the three screws (provided

in the module package).

Reader/Door Index Con version

One EverAccess Flex Series controller can accommodate up to 4 door modules, each
of which controls 2 readers. The index conversion of readers and is displayed below.
The readers/doors are counted 1 to 8 from right to left:

Note: Each card reader can be associated with any door index. Please refer to section
5 for more details.

T erminal/LED Definitions

The definitions of the module terminals are presented in this chapter.

Door Module T erminal Definition

The terminals on the door modules are classified into two groups, each of which
controls two doors and the corresponding card 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 2
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 3.1 shows the definition and wiring details for the
door module terminals.

Wiring

This chapter will describe, in detail, how to wire the terminals in the door modules.

Connection to Readers

As mentioned before, each door module can control up to two card readers with the
correct wiring. The supported reader formats are EverAccess RS232 and standard
Wiegand26. For instructions on connecting each type, please refer to Fig. 4.1 (a) for
the RS232 reader connection and Fig 4.1(b) for the Wiegand reader connection. (The

module

Figure 4.1 (b) Connection to the EverAccess reader using Wiegand format

Each door module can provide +12V voltage for two card readers.

Twisted cable is recommended to connect the controller and card readers. The
maximum transmission distance between the reader and controller depends on the
gauge of the cable and the specification of the card reader. Please read the reader user
manual carefully before installing the cable for the readers.

Note: When installing a multi-reader system, it is strongly recommended that
all the card readers follow the same format, i.e. all of them are EverAccess
RS232 or Wiegand. Multiple formats could present compatibility problems: a
card may not be accepted by all the card readers in the system.

Connection to Door Lock

Each door module provides an interface to two door control relays. Terminal 11 ~13
are for door 1 and terminal 27~29 are for door 2. Terminal 12 and 28 are named
common terminal (COM). Terminal 13 and 29 are named normally closed terminal
(N.C.). Terminal 11 and 27 are named normally open terminal.

The electrical door lock must have a separate power supply. The power supply for the
electrical door lock depends on the specification of the lock. Carefully choose the
cable connecting the door locks to fit the current draw. Two common types of
electrical door locks in the market are electric strike locks and magnetic locks. The
connection methods for these examples are shown in Fig. 4.2 and 4.3 respectively.

NOTE:

1. The maximum current outputted by the door lock relay on the door

module is less than 5A. If the current for door lock exceeds the capacity,
an external power relay is needed.

2. V+ in the figures represents one lead of power from an external power

source. When using DC Voltage for the lock, put the positive lead here.
When using AC the leads are interchangeable.

Connection to Door Sensor

The interface to the door sensor is also provided by the door module: door sensor 1
and door sensor 2 correspond to terminal 9 ,10 and 25, 26 on the door module.

The alarm module provides 8 alarm inputs and 8 alarm outputs. The user can assign
the corresponding relay status to the different events. There are three terminals:
COM, N.O and N.C. The wiring depends on the alarm device. Please read the user
manual of the external alarm devices before wiring. Using the 1
input as an example, the wiring is shown in Fig. 4.6 and 4.7.
