VertX™ CS is the first family of access controllers designed specifically for alarm dealers for direct
connection to central stations. Because it was designed with central station in mind, VertX CS works with
software from leading central station automation providers, including Bold Technologies, DICE, and
GE MAS.
The V1000 is designed to control doors, reader contacts and relays through the RS-485 loop and any
combination of up to 32 Interface Panels (V100 Door/Reader Interface, V200 Input Monitor Interface and/or
V300 Output Control Interface). In addition, the V1000 Access Controller manages communications with the
central station automated software.

Prior to starting the installation, please completely read this guide.
CAUTION:The V1000 is sensitive to Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). Observe precautions while handling the circuit
board assembly by using proper grounding straps and handling precautions at all times.
1.2 V1000
1. Remove the plastic or Mylar cover.
2. Verify the battery is installed. If the battery is not installed,
complete these steps:
a. Remove the button cell battery from the accessory kit.
b. Install the button cell battery (+ side up) in the battery
holder, BT1.
c. Verify that the battery jumper is in the ON position (or OUT
position on old covers), P15 connector (V1000).
d. Replace the plastic or Mylar cover.
3. Verify that the V1000 has a termination jumper installed on
each RS-485 Port; Port 1, 2, 3 and Port 4; depending on
which ports are not being used. The V1000 is shipped with
jumpers in the out positions.
Step 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Mounting Instructions
1. The V1000 should always be mounted in a secure area.
2. Mount the V1000 using the four mounting screws (provided) or other appropriate fasteners. Place
the fasteners in the corner holes of the base.
3. The V1000 can be stacked with or without the cover. Do not remove the plastic base. Make sure you
position the V1000 in such a way as to provide room for wiring, air-flow and cable runs.
CAUTION: Connectors on the V1000 right and left sides are positioned to be mirror images and are not
interchangeable once the installation is complete. Therefore, you cannot simply unplug a connector from one
side of the board and plug it into the corresponding connector on the other side of the board.
1. Network Connection: Connect the V1000 to the network using a standard Cat 5 network patch
cable. Connect one end of the Cat 5 network patch cable to the J1 (RJ-45) connector on the V1000
and the other end to the network connection point (network jack, hub, switch, or router) on your site.
2. Serial (RS-232) Adapter cable (P/N 70007) – The Serial Adapter cable is included with the V1000
controller.
The Serial Adapter cable is a six inch adapter that converts the 9 pin MTA header to a standard
DB-9 male connector. This adapter is to be utilized for attaching a standard serial modem cable
(not included) to the VertX. This will allow one of the approved external modems (listed in 3.7.1
Modem Setup Requirements, page 19) to be attached to the VertX V1000.
3. Power and Alarm input connections: Connect power by
providing 12VDC to the P7 connector. +12VDC goes to Pin 1
and ground on Pin 2. Bat Fail, AC Fail, and Tamper switch inputs
are wired as shown in the table. Connect the Bat Fail and AC Fail
inputs to battery low/failure and AC failure contacts provided on
the power supply. Connect the Tamper input to a tamper switch
on the enclosure.

2 Ground

4 Bat Fail +
5 AC Fail -
6 AC Fail +
7 Tamper -
8 Tamper +
4. RS-485 Connections – The V1000 has
two - RS-485 connectors. The V1000 uses
the 10-pin, P3 and P4 for the RS-485
connections. Each RS-485 bus can support
a maximum of 16 V100-Series panels
using one or two ports.
Having two ports on each bus provides the
option of splitting each RS-485 bus into two
physical connections, allowing a total of
four physical connections for the two
busses.
RS-485 busses must be connected in a
daisy chain topology and not a star
topology.
Note: Each V1000 port and the end V100-
Series, whether it is single or a daisy-chain
connection, requires a separate termination
resistor jumper.
CAUTION: The V1000 RS-485 Ports 1 & 2 (P1) are a common bus and therefore cannot have
panels with duplicate Interface Addresses assigned. The same is true of the V1000 RS-485,
Ports 3 & 4 (P4). For example, two panels, both with Interface Address 0 (factory default),
cannot be connected to Ports 1 and/or 2 (P1).
5. Output Connections – All Output connections are used for general
purpose controls. The following table shows where the various outputs
are located among the various VertX types. Pin numbers shown use
the convention “NO/C/NC”. For example, Output 1, V2000: P3 Pin1 is
NO (Normally Open) and Pin 2 is C (Common) and Pin 3 is NC
(Normally Closed).
6. Input Connections – Input connections are used for a combination of specific functions such as
Request-to-Exit (REX), Door monitor, etc. They can also be used as general purpose monitoring.
Connect one side of the switch or contact to the + (plus) lead and the other to the – (minus) lead.
The following table shows where the inputs are located among the different VertX units. Pin
numbers shown on the cover use the convention +/–.
The default REX switch configuration is normally open (NO) unsupervised (no EOL resistors), while
the default door switch (DS) configuration is Normally Closed (NC) unsupervised (no EOL
resistors). All other input points are defaulted for NO switches and are unsupervised (no EOL
resistors).
Any input can be configured as a supervised input. They can be configured for resistors of 1K – 6K
Ohm. The setup of supervised inputs should be done during configuration of the VertX units via the
central station automation software (host) or by using the Calibrate Input tool, see section 4.1
Calibrate Input.
Example: Input 1, V1000 is: P14 Pin1 is + and Pin 2 is -.
