Keri Systems EntraGuard Titanium Quick Start
EntraGuard® Titanium Telephone Entry Controller
Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide provides, basic installation information, drawings, first time power-on instructions, and short
descriptions of key terms and concepts for installing the EntraGuard Titanium Telephone Entry controller. The
EntraGuard Titanium controller may be used alone or may be connected to a PXL-500/510 network. For instructions on
how to install a postal lock, see the EntraGuard Titanium Postal Lock Installation Application Note (P/N 01964-001).
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the installation organization to have only technically qualified personnel performing the
installation.

NOTE: You must power down the unit before attempting to make or remove any connections. Failure to do so will
damage the controller.

2.0 Cable Requirements
RS-232 Serial Cable
• three conductor, shielded, stranded, AWG 24 wire (Belden 9533 or a larger gauge)
• 50 foot maximum length (per RS-232 industry specification - greater lengths are not recommended)
RS-485 Network Cable
• one twisted, shielded pair of conductors, stranded, AWG 24 wire (Belden 9501 or a larger gauge)
• 4,000 foot total network length (per RS-485 industry specification)
• extended network configurations are possible – refer to the Network Wiring
extended network configurations of up to 5,000 feet per star line and 16,000 feet total network length
Telephone
• 1 pair copper phone line
NOTE: EntraGuard Titanium is not to be used with a Centrex, PBX, or digital phone line. Only use a Plain Old
Telephone Service (POTS) analog phone line.
Input Power
• two conductor, stranded, AWG 18 wire (Belden 8461 or a larger gauge)
Application Note (P/N 01824-002) for
NOTE: On long power cable runs, the cable resistance causes a drop in voltage at the end of the cable run. Be sure your
power supply does provide 12 VDC at the end of the cable run.
Earth Ground
• Single conductor, AWG 18 wire (or a larger gauge)
Input and Output Connections
• two conductor, stranded, AWG 22 (or a larger gauge)
NOTE: The Lock Output relay may require a heavier gauge of wire depending upon the current demands of the lock and
the length of the lock wiring run.
NOTE: If plenum cable is required, please reference the Belden plenum equivalent to the cables listed above.

3.0 When Installing Controllers
DO
• since this is a telephone entry system at least one phone line will be necessary, it is important to plan ahead to meet
power and telephone requirements for your system (if using a modem, the host computer will need 1 phone line, plus
one for each master controller in each network or each EntraGuard unit)
• mount controllers in environmentally suitable areas - the EntraGuard Titanium unit is weather resistant, but care
should be taken to avoid areas of weather/temperature/humidity extremes
• mount the controller at least 3 feet away from the controller's power supply to prevent EMI radiated from the power
supply from affecting the controller
• use the enclosure as a mounting template to mark drilling holes for permanent mounting
• note the locations of the knockouts in the enclosures and remove the appropriate knockout for the easiest cable
routing into the controller
• route all controllers in a network in a single, continuous daisy-chain (with the EntraGuard Titanium controller as the
master)
• route cables in accessible areas for ease of maintenance
• connect all controllers to a quality earth ground
• add transient suppression across electric devices attached to a controller output
• use an isolation relay (P/N IRP-1) if attaching to a parking gate, a turnstile, or any application using a large electric
motor
• verify the controller's supply voltage is 12 VDC – long power line runs cause a drop in voltage at the end of the run
• verify proper operation of the host computer's COM port or Ethernet/LAN WAN connection.

DO NOT
• make modem phone line connections through PBX telephone switching systems - most modems are not compatible
with PBX systems leading to disconnection problems with the modem
• locate the EntraGuard Titanium controller near EMI sources - EMI sources can affect the performance of the
controller
• use switching power supplies - they are EMI sources
• route network cables beside power cables - transients on the power cables may be picked-up by network and reader
cables
• stretch or over-tension cables
• route over sharp objects
• let the wires get tangled
• route the EntraGuard Titanium controller as a slave to a PXL-250 master
• route all controllers in a network in spur, hub, or loop configurations
• connect earth ground
the shield at one point on the network to prevent ground loops
• use gender changer plugs when making RS-232 serial communication con nections (unless you know it is a "straightthrough" plug) - gender changers may have internal wiring changes that can disrupt communications

4.3 Connecting a Door Status Input
Each EntraGuard Titanium controller is shipped with an installation kit including all necessary terminal blocks and
transorbs. One of these terminal blocks has a jumper across pins 1 and 2. This terminal block is designated for use on TB-
4. If a door switch is not used on the controller, this jumper prevents a continuous door open status alarm from being
received by the controller. If a door switch is used, simply remove this jumper and install the door switch leads.

4.5 Connecting a General Purpose Input
The general-purpose input is used in conjunction with the programmable input/output feature of the Doors access control
software. There are two possible uses for the general-purpose input.
• the master controller may be configured for either Global Unlock (see Figure 7) or Auxiliary A-door RTE (see Figure
8)
• the slave unit can only be configured for Auxiliary A-door RTE (see Figure 8)
Make the following connections for a Global Unlock input. (For a master controller only.)
