EP1501 Intelligent Controller

with Paired Reader Interface for One Physical Barrier

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including

Installation and Specifications:

1. General:

The EP1501 intelligent controller provides decision making, event reporting and database storage for the
Mercury hardware platform. Two reader interfaces configured as paired or alternate readers provide
control for one physical barrier.

Host communication is via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port.

Note: For UL compliance, the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE enabled network switch

and/or PoE power injectors must be UL Listed under UL294B.
Reader port 1 can accommodate a reader that utilizes TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F, or 2-wire RS-485

device signaling, also provides tri-state LED control, and buzzer control (one wire LED mode only). This
port can also utilize multiple 2-wire RS-485 multi-dropped devices, such as up to two readers or up to
eight remote serial I/O devices.

Reader port 2 can accommodate a reader that utilizes TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), or F/2F signaling, also
provides tri-state LED control, and buzzer control (one wire LED mode only). Two Form-C contact relay
outputs may be used for door strike control or alarm signaling. The relay contacts are rated at 2 A @ 30
Vdc, dry contact configuration. Two inputs are provided that may be used for monitoring the door
contact, exit push button or alarm contact. Input circuits can be configured as unsupervised or
supervised. The EP1501 requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 12 Vdc for power. The EP1501 may be
mounted in a 3-gang switch box; a mounting plate is supplied with the unit, or may be mounted in an
enclosure; the supplied mounting plate has mounting holes that match the MR50 mounting footprint.

DIP Switches:

The four switches on S1 DIP switch configure the operating mode of the EP1501 processor. DIP
switches are read on power-up except where noted. Pressing switch S2 causes the EP1501 to reboot.

All other switch settings are unassigned and reserved for future use.

Factory Default Communication Parameters:

Network: static IP address: 192.168.0.251
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Sever: 192.168.0.1
Host port: IP server, no encryption, port 3001, communication address: 0

4. Bulk Erase Configuration Memory:

The bulk erase function can be used for the following purposes:

 Erase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board)

 Update OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed
 Recover from database corruption causing EP1501 board to continuously reboot

If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact technical support.
Bulk Erase Steps: Do not remove power during steps 1-8.

1. Set S1 DIP switches to: 1 & 2 "ON", 3 & 4 "OFF".

2. Apply power to the EP1501 board.

3. Watch for LEDs 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 to alternately flash at a 0.5 second rate.

4. Within 10 seconds of powering up, change switches 1 or 2 to "OFF". If these switches are not
changed, the EP1501 board will power up using the OEM default communication parameters.

5. LED 2 will flash indicating that the configuration memory is being erased.

6. Full memory erase takes up to 60 seconds.

7. When complete, only LEDs 1 & 4 will flash for 8 seconds.

8. The EP1501 board will reboot 8 seconds after LEDs 1 & 4 stop flashing (no LEDs are on during this
time).

5. Input Power:

The EP1501 is powered by one of two ways (jumper selected, J3):

 Power is supplied via the Ethernet connection using PoE, fully compliant to IEEE 802.3af
 Or local 12 Vdc power supply, TB4-3 (VIN), TB4-4 (GND)

6. Communication Wiring:

The EP1501 controller communicates to the host via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet
interface.

7. Reader/Serial I/O Device Wiring:

Reader port 1 supports TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F, or 2-wire RS-485 device(s). Reader port 2
supports TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), or F/2F. Power to reader port 1 is 12 Vdc at 180 mA maximum. The
reader connected to reader port 2 may be powered from the 12 Vdc auxiliary power supply output; TB4-1
and TB4-2. Readers that require different voltage or have high current requirements should be powered
separately. Refer to the reader manufacture specifications for cabling requirements. In the 2-wire LED
mode, the buzzer output is used to drive the second LED. Reader port configuration is set via the host
software.

Reader port 1 can support up to eight 2-wire RS-485 remote serial I/O devices using MSP1 protocol or up
to two OSDP devices. If two OSDP devices are used, reader port 2 will not support a third reader. If only
one OSDP device is configured, then reader port 2 is available for a second reader. The maximum cable
length is 2000 ft. (610 m). Do not terminate any RS-485 devices connected to reader port 1.

When powering remote device(s) from the EP1501, be cautious not to exceed the maximum current limit.

Cable gauge must also be evaluated. See specifications section for details.
