1.1 Warnings and Cautions
Warning: Fire Safety and Liability Notice: Never connect card readers to any critical
entry, exit door, barrier, elevator or gate without providing an alternative exit in
accordance with all fire and life safety codes pertinent to the installation. These fire
and safety codes vary from city to city and you must get approval from local fire
officials whenever using an electronic product to control a door or other barrier. Use of
egress buttons, for example, may be illegal in some cities. In most applications, single
action exit without prior knowledge of what to do is a life safety requirement. Always
make certain that any required approvals are obtained in writing. Verbal approvals are
not valid.
Warning: Honeywell Access Systems (HAS) never recommends using WIN-PAK or
related products for use as a primary warning or monitoring system. Primary warning
or monitoring systems should always meet local fire and safety code requirements.
The installer must also test the system on a regular basis by instructing the end user in
appropriate daily testing procedures. Failure to test a system regularly could make
installer liable for damages to the end user if a problem occurs.
Warning: Earth ground all enclosures for proper installation.
Warning: Use suppressors on all door locks. Use HAS (part number S-4) suppressors
for installation. Honeywell recommends only DC locks.
Warning: Personal injury or death could occur, and the equipment could be damaged
beyond repair, if this precaution is not observed!
•Before installation, turn off the external circuit breaker which supplies power
to the system, including door locks.
•Before connecting the device to the power supply, verify that the output
voltage is within specifications of the power supply.
•Do not apply power to the system until after the installation has been
completed.
Caution: If any damage to the shipment is noticed, a claim must be filed with the
commercial carrier responsible.

2.0 Introduction
2.1 Access Control Overview
An access control system protects and preserves an enterprise’s resources by
providing authentication, authorization, and administration services. Authentication is
a process that verifies a user’s identity. If the user is verified, the system then either
grants or denies access to specific areas and resources. Administration includes the
creation and modification of user accounts and access privileges.
An access control system consists of hardware and software, usually configured in a
network environment over a standard network protocol. Access control units, readers,
door strikes, and video and other devices, for example, are configured to control and
monitor the access to a company site.
2.2 NetAXS™ Access Overview
A NetAXS™ access control system consists of a host system and NetAXS™ access
control units that meet existing N-1000-III/IV specifications and that communicate
with each other and with a variety of input and output devices over the RS-232 and
RS-485 network protocols. See “System Configuration“ on page 26 to view
illustrations of the supported NetAXS™ system configurations. A NetAXS™ access
control system is configured and maintained via either the host system or a web server
using RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet network protocols.

3.1 NetAXS™ Access Control Unit
The NetAXS™ panel is a four-reader board that controls up to four doors by
providing up to 14 inputs and 8 outputs. The NetAXS™ panel may be used as a
stand-alone panel with independent card and transaction storage or, with a host
software upgrade, as a fully monitored online access control device. The NetAXS™
panel also supports up to 30 downstream panels in a variety of network
configurations. See Communications, page 16, for descriptions and illustrations.
Fourteen inputs are capable of four state supervision: Normal, Alarm, Short and Open.
Eight inputs are used as door control with one input used for request to exit on each
door and one input used for door status on each door. Supervised inputs for Tamper,
External Power Fail and four Reader Tampers are supplied as well, and they can be
used as additional inputs when not required for their default purpose.
Caution: The NetAXS™ board must not be used to power locks. Only through the
relay board can the common power supply be used for the NetAXS™ and locking
devices.
NetAXS™ NX4S1 Installation
Panel Components and Descriptions
Real-Time Clock Protection
The panel RTC is backed up using a super capacitor. The super capacitor will power
the real-time clock for one week in the absence of primary power or backup battery.
Memory Protection
The NetAXS™ panel continuously saves database and event information in
non-volatile FLASH memory. This activity prevents the panel from losing data when
power is lost.
Reader and AUX Power
Reader power is supplied within the range of 11.2 VDC and 12.4 VDC with a
maximum current of 600 mA. AUX power is supplied within the range of 10.5 VDC
and 12.4 VDC with a maximum current of 500mA. The current can be distributed
throughout the Reader Power or AUX Power in any configuration as long as the
maximum draw is less than 600 mA: Reader 1 + Reader 2 + Reader 3 + Reader 4 +
AUX Power < 600 mA.
Caution: AUX Power must not be used to power locks.
For NetAXS™ maximum current draw, refer to Hardware Specifications, page 44.

Panel Components and Descriptions
3.2 Power Supply
The NetAXS™ panel is capable of operating on AC or DC input power. UL has not
reviewed the use of a DC power supply with the NX4S1 panel. The AC input must be
supplied at 16.5 VAC utilizing one of the following UL-listed, 50 VA, Class 2
transformers: Basler Electric Model BE156250CAA0004, M&G Electronics Model
MGT1650 (Honeywell Access Systems part number X-4). Use a two-wire, 18 AWG
shielded cable to run the AC power from the wall transformer to the enclosure. The
AC voltage is non-polarized and connects to TB17-1 and TB17-2.
A power-on LED assembly is supplied with the NX4S1. It is required by UL to be
mounted for external viewing. Refer to Installation, page 9 for details. When there is
sufficient AC power, the power-on LED illuminates. If the AC power is off, the LED
is not illuminated.
DC power is also non-polarized. The panel uses 24 VDC at 1.5 Amp wired into
TB17-1 and TB17-2.
The panel includes an input power indicator that illuminates when input voltage is
present. If the indicator is not illuminated, the input voltage is either off or too low to
operate the system.
Caution: De-energize the unit before servicing it.
3.3 Battery
One CASIL CA1270 12 VDC, 7 A-Hr sealed lead-acid battery (HAS part number
3-000066) provides standby backup power. When the primary power is off, the
NetAXS™ panel automatically switches to the battery for continuous operation. The
battery provides three hours of standby backup power.
The NetAXS™ panel is capable of providing 300 mA at 13.7 VDC for battery
charging. The panel has deep discharge protection built in for the protection of the
battery. If the battery discharges below 10.4 V, the panel disconnects the battery and
ceases operation.
Replace the battery every two to two-and-a-half years, or more often if the panel has a
high rate of backup use.
Refer to Installation, page 9 for battery cable connection information.
3.4 Enclosure
The NX4S1 enclosure ships pre-wired. Its width is 14.5 inches (368.3 mm), its height
is 18.0 inches (457.2 mm), and its depth is 4.4 inches (111.8 mm). The equipped
enclosure, including the 7 A-Hr battery, is 22.1 pounds (10 Kg).
3.5 Suppressors
Two suppressors (HAS part number S-4) are required for each door lock. One
suppressor is installed on the panel control board, and the second must be installed at
the door lock.
