1Inputs, Outputs and Interface Signals
Hardware products operate from various power sources and communicate via a variety of I/O interfaces.
Understanding the power requirements and interface signals, their characteristics, merits and limitations will
insure successful installation and a reliable system.
1.1Power Inputs
1.1.1AC Power
Some OnGuard hardware products can use an AC power source.
The AC power wiring to power supplies consists of the AC LINE (L), AC NEUTRAL (N), and SAFETY
GROUND (G). These lines from the AC power source to the power input terminals must not be
interchanged.
Interchange of the AC LINE and AC NEUTRAL exposes components within the power supply to the hot
side of the input power even if the AC line switch is turned off. This presents a safety hazard.
Interchange of the AC LINE and SAFETY GROUND places the supply chassis to an AC potential equal to
the input voltage. This could result in a lethal shock hazard or equipment damage.
The interchange of the AC NEUTRAL and SAFETY GROUND may result in ground current flowing
through the power supply chassis and other ground paths, causing unreliable/improper system operation.
The AC LINE input to Hardware power supplies is appropriately fused and switched. Local safety
regulations may require an additional switch/fuse to be installed in the NEUTRAL input.
Do not apply greater than 12 VAC ± 15% to any hardware product.
1.1.2DC Power
All OnGuard hardware products can use a DC power source.
When using a DC power supply for a hardware product, the DC power must be isolated electrically from the
AC input side and non-switching, regulated DC power. Readers require +5 or +12 VDC, and all other panels
require either 12 VDC or 12 VAC (except the LNL-1300, LNL-1300e, and LNL-8000 which require
12 VDC, only).
DC power must be supplied through a diode for reverse polarity protection, and must be filtered and
regulated for the electronics. Products intended to be powered from DC should never be powered with an
AC transformer with rectifiers.
The Multiplexer requires a regulated, low ripple (under 20 mV P/P). The power input is fused and protected
from polarity reversal, and a crowbar over-voltage circuit protects against application of wrong voltages.
Do not apply greater than 12 VDC ±15% to any hardware product.
To insure reliable operation of all components of the system, it is important that all power supplies used to
power the devices are completely isolated from the AC power source.

1.2Alarm Inputs
1.2.1Unsupervised Alarms
Unsupervised alarm inputs sense simple contact closure. Open circuit results in an alarm condition. These
inputs are protected by pull-ups, series limiting resistors, and clamp diodes against transients, like
ElectroStatic Discharge. The signal is then buffered to reduce the effect of noise.
Open contacts should result in terminal voltages of 3.5 to 5 VDC. Closed contact terminal voltage should be
between 0 and 0.8 VDC.
1.2.2Supervised Alarms
Various OnGuard hardware products provide contact supervision. These inputs require an end-of-line (EOL,
1K±10%) terminator to be installed with the contact to be monitored. This can be configured within the
software. Input protection is similar to that of the unsupervised input, however the input is also filtered to
reject 50/60 Hz AC coupling.
The supervised input can sense contact conditions of SAFE, ALARM, and FAULT. It also accommodates
normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts, which is configurable within the application.
1.3Reader Inputs/Outputs
1.3.1Reader Data Input
Reader data input is similar to unsupervised alarm input. Reader data input interfaces to reader DATA 1/
DATA 0 (WD1/WD0) open collector signals and produces a nominal signal swing of 0 to 5 volts.
1.3.2Open Collector Output
Open collector output is used by readers to send reader data DATA1/DATA0 (WD1/WD0) and to control
external LEDs. Pull-up resistors and diode clamps are provided for reader data outputs. This type of
interface is limited to 500 feet.
1.4Relay Outputs
Some Lenel hardware products provide form C relay contact outputs. These are dry contacts that are capable
of switching signals as well as higher current loads. However, once they are used to switch current (for
example, a door strike), they can not be used reliably to switch small signals (for example, dialer input.)
1.5RS-485 Communication Overview
The EIA RS-485 standard defines an electrical interface for multi-point communication on bus transmission
lines. It allows high-speed data transfer over extended distance (4000 feet/1219 m.) The RS-485 interface
20 — revision 7
Page 21

uses a balanced differential transmitter/receiver to reject common mode noise. The following table is a
comparison of interfaces commonly used in access/alarm systems.

Unlike the RS-232C or current loop interfaces, the RS-485 interface allows multiple devices to
communicate at high data rates on a single cable, over long distance. Obviously, the RS-485 interface
provides advantages in cost savings for installation and improved system performance, but it also brings
about problems which would not commonly be seen on systems using RS-232C or current loop interfaces.
Using long communication cable with multiple devices often necessitates powering devices from different
power sources. This can result in ground faults and ground loops, which can cause communication problems
and possible equipment damage. Because the RS-485 interface communicates in the base band and provides
no DC isolation, ground fault places devices at different electrical ground levels and causes large ground
currents to flow. Possibilities of ground fault call for careful system planning and installation verification.
Communication cables exceeding 4000 feet can also create noise and signal reflection problems if proper
cable is not used or if the cable is not correctly terminated.

1.5.1RS-485 Cable
Field hardware products that are series 1 use 4-wire or 2-wire RS-485 full communication between devices.
Only 2-wire RS-485 cable configuration can be used for series 2. The main run RS-485 cable used must be
shielded, low capacitance, stranded, two twisted pairs with 100-ohm characteristic impedance or better
(Belden 9842 4-wire or 9841, 2-wire, plenum cabling Belden 88102, or equivalent; refer to Cable Cross Reference Table on page 22). Wire size is 24 AWG minimum. Total length of the communication cable must
not exceed 4000 feet (1219 m) for 24 AWG wire size per leg of the communication tree.
Drops (down leads or stubs) to readers and other devices must be kept as short as possible (no longer than 10
feet). Use shielded 24 AWG cable (Belden 9502, or equivalent), when terminating to the 3-position for 2wire RS-485 or the 5-position for 4-wire RS-485, insulation displacement connector.
22 — revision 7
Page 23
Hardware Installation Guide
1.5.2Use of Signal Ground (SG)
The signal ground (SG) provides a common mode signal reference for the communicating devices. Each
device must connect its SG to the cable shield drain wire. Failure to use the SG connection may cause
communication errors. If the environment is known to be noisy, an additional wire may be used for the
signal ground. The shield can then be grounded at one end only (to prevent ground loops) as a signal ground.
1.5.3Device to Device Connection
Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a daisy chain. Long stubs (T connection) should be
avoided because they create discontinuities and degrade signals. DO NOT connect devices in STAR
configuration unless using the LNL-8000 Star Multiplexer. STAR connection creates long stubs and causes
difficulty in cable termination.
1.5.4Cable Termination
RS-485 communications is designed for higher data transmission speeds and also simplifies installation by
allowing each device to be multi-dropped from a single communication line or bus. With the increase data
speeds and transmitting and receiving the data over a single communications line, there is higher risk of
external noise. External noise could be in the form of line impedance, line ringing, or RF interference. When
using the specified communications cabling the risk of noise is all but eliminated. To ensure that the data is
sent and received without error, some End-of-Line termination of the RS-485 bus may be required.
•RS-485 Cable termination from Host to Controller The device used to convert RS-232
communication to RS-485 determines the termination necessary for this segment of the RS-485
communication bus. These communications devices, pre-bias the RS-485 signal, which marks the state
of the signal being sent and allows the line to flow for reliable communications. This is true for most
devices that are used for Host to ISC communications, but any device that has been approved by Lenel
will indicate how termination should be configured for proper operation in its documentation. Refer to
the specific device diagrams being used in the following sections of this hardware manual.
•RS-485 Cable termination from controller to down stream modules (LNL-500X, 1100, 1200, 1300,
1320, 4000, 8000) Termination of this section of the RS-485 bus always remains the same. Each end of
the RS-485 bus must be terminated using the on-board jumpers provided with each piece of OnGuard
hardware. Please refer to the termination drawings for each component being installed in this hardware
manual.
•RS-485 Cable termination from LNL-500X to Third-party hardware devices Termination may be
different for each RS-485 hardware device that is connected to the LNL-500X interface gateway
module. Please refer to the gateway model being used for the hardware installation application.
1.6RS-232 Interfaces
A number of products provide RS-232C interface for communication. This interface is intended for short
distance communication because its high impedance is more susceptible to noise. Cable length is generally
limited to 50 feet (15.24 m.) If required, this distance may be extended to a few hundred feet by using low
capacitance shielded cables.

Hardware Installation Guidelines
2System Wiring and Other Considerations
Proper installation is essential to the safe and reliable operation of the OnGuard system. Improper or
incorrect wiring will lead to unreliable operation or damage to system components. When system
components are powered by different power sources, great care must be exercised in planning and wiring the
system. The following paragraphs provide some guidelines for successful system interconnection.
2.1General Wiring Considerations
There are different system wiring considerations for different groups of wiring, depending on the signal
levels the wires are to carry. System wires can be generally separated into the following groups:
•Power distribution wires
•Data communication wires
•Sensor wires.
To avoid cross-talk, follow the wire requirements for each type of communication, or use different conduit
for different signal groups.
2.1.1Device Placement
Observe the distance limitation of each type of signal when planning device placement. Modems and line
extenders can be used for extended distance.
Do not run any wires near utility AC power wiring, lightning rod grounding wire, etc. to avoid externally
generated transients. Grounding is required for ESD protection and safety.
2.1.2Power Requirements
When planning a system, know the power requirement of each device. If multiple devices are to share a
common power supply, care must be exercised to avoid excessive voltage loss on the wires. Voltage loss can
lead to communication problems when devices are talking/listening on different grounds.
Voltage loss is directly proportional to wire resistance and the current the wire carries. Place the power
supply as close to the equipment as possible. Select appropriate wire size for the load.
2.1.3Current Overload
When designing any system, you must know the power requirement of each component being used within
that system (refer to power chart below) as well as the actual output of the power supplies being used. If
multiple devices are to share a common power supply, care must be taken to avoid excessive voltage loss
through the power transmitting wires. Voltage loss can lead to intermittent communications problems when
devices are consuming more power than the power supply is able to give. Other causes of voltage loss are
directly proportional to wire resistance and current that the wire carries. When designing a system, place the
power supply as close to the equipment as possible. The farther away the equipment is from the power
supply, the larger the gauge of wire needed to ensure adequate current is being supplied at the device. Be
sure to select the appropriate wire size for the distance between the power source and the equipment.
24 — revision 7
Page 25
Hardware Installation Guide
When choosing a power supply be sure never max out the current load of the supply. Always use a 25%
overage factor when sizing your supply as a safety operation. Always use an isolated, non-switching,
regulated power supply.

2.2.4Cabinet Tamper
Cabinet tamper for all enclosures must be connected and programmed for UL installations.
2.3Ground Wiring
Each hardware product must be grounded to provide ESD protection, personnel safety, and signal reference
for devices which communicate with each other. Grounding provides a good shield against external
transients. See the installation manuals for the grounding point of each product.
There are three types of circuit grounds in systems using hardware products:
•DC negative
•RS-485 signal ground
•Safety ground
2.3.1DC Negative
The DC ground provides signal reference for devices to communicate. It is the DC return from the power
supply.
2.3.2RS-485 Signal Ground (SG)
The RS-485 signal ground is connected to the DC ground internal to a device through a current limiting
resistor. It provides a signal reference for the RS-485 interface.
2.3.3Grounding System
A grounding system can be viewed as two subsystems: the DC system and the ground system. The DC
system consists of all interconnected power supply returns, DC distribution wiring, and load devices. The
principal function of the DC system is to provide signal reference for communication. The ground system
consists of all chassis grounds for power supplies and other devices, safety grounds, and AC grounds.
Ground connection should be made to avoid ground loop problems.
Ideally, there should be ONLY ONE ground return point in a power supply system.
2.3.4Safety Ground
Safety ground (copper wire of 16 AWG minimum) is part of the AC power system. To avoid ground loop
current, there must be NOT more than one point at which the safety ground connects to the DC ground.
The RS-485 signal ground must be isolated from the safety ground. This means that the RS-485 cable shield
must be insulated so that it will NOT accidentally short circuit to the conduit in instances where the conduit
is connected to the safety ground.
The National Electrical Code and other safety regulations require that all equipment chassis and or
enclosures be grounded in order to prevent shock hazards. Each device must have a green wire safety
ground. The function of the green wire safety ground is to provide a redundant path for fault currents and to
insure that the circuit breaker will open in the event of a fault. In addition, grounding the enclosure provides
a path for ESD dissipation, thus protecting sensitive electronic devices.

2.4Alarm Input Wiring
All alarm inputs require twisted pair wires. An end-of-line (EOL) resistor terminator is required for each
supervised alarm input. Both supervised and unsupervised alarm inputs can support single or multiple
contacts per loop. Connect normally closed (NC) contacts in series and normally open (NO) contacts in
parallel.
2.5RS-485 Communication Wiring
Proper wiring for RS-485 communication interfaces is critical for successful system turn-up and operation.
The following guidelines apply for all RS-485 wiring.
1.Use low capacitance shielded cable with 2 twisted pairs, characteristic impedance 120 ohms (Belden
9842 or equivalent) for the main RS-485 run.
2.Keep the main run maximum end-to-end distance below 4000 feet.
3.Use daisy chain configuration, NOT star configuration, to connect devices.
4.Use shielded 24 AWG cable with 2 twisted pair (Belden 9502 or equivalent.) for down leads (drops or
stubs).
5.Keep down leads as short as possible (no longer than 10 feet).
6.Terminate cables at both ends with RS-485 terminators (hardware has on-board terminators for RS-485
termination).
7.Always use the signal ground (SG) connection. Carefully insulate the SG wire for a reliable installation.
Use 24 GA plastic sleeving over the SG wire when terminating the cable to the 5-position insulation
displacement mating connector.
Each RS-485 communication line can have any number of DEPENDENT devices, but must have only one
MASTER device. The transmit lines of the MASTER device are connected to the receive lines of the

Observe the distance limitation or use suitable cable if the distance is greater than 50 feet. Remember to
strap the control lines (RTS, CTS, etc.) if required.
2.7Weatherproofing
The circuit board compartment of small readers should be sealed to protect from harsh environment.
Be sure to clean the read head(s).
The leading cause of accelerated readhead wear is contamination in the read head slot. To maximize the life
of the read head, it is important to clean the reader periodically to remove any contamination. The frequency
depends on the environment in which the reader is located. Indoor readers in controlled environments will
need to be cleaned much less often than an outdoor reader exposed to airborne dirt and debris. Dirt and
debris are also transferred from cardholder cards that have been contaminated with sticky substances. Read
head cleaning cards are available to clean the readers.
For heavy traffic areas, extended life read heads are also available from the factory at the time of order
which will extend the read head life up to 1 million card swipes. For heavy traffic, outdoor readers should be
cleaned at least once per month. A good indication as to how often a reader needs to be cleaned is when
using a cleaning card, if the card has no visible signs of contamination, the reader could be serviced less

often. Another indication is if the card reader, starts to give invalid card reads, the reader may need to be
serviced more often. A read head that is starting to fail due to exceeding the maximum number could cause
this or card reads on the read head (std. 600,000 or extended 1 million).
•Weather Shield Option even though the Magnetic swipe card readers are fully weatherized, there are
still times when the card reader may need more protection from the environment. If a reader has been
installed at a remote parking lot or on a build with no overhang to prevent rain, ice or snow from
building up in the reader throat, you may want to install the weather shield (LNL-WS10). This weather
shield can be used with all LNL-2005W, 2010W, and 2020W readers.
Weather Shield – part #LNL-WS10
2.8Relay Contact Protection
The relays used by OnGuard hardware products have a contact life in excess of 500,000 operations at full
rating. Lighter loads, and appropriate contact protection, extend relay life.

2.8.2AC Inductive Loads
Contacts for AC inductive loads can be protected using metal-oxide varistors (MOVs.) MOVs are effective
when the load voltage is 100V to 200V. (MOVs are also suitable for DC operation.)
MOVs must be installed as close to the load as possible (within a few inches) to be effective. Mounted in
this fashion, MOVs can also reduce the effects of EMI on sensitive electronic circuits.

3System Turn-Up Considerations
A system should never be wired up and powered up all at once. For successful system turn-up, the following
step-by-step procedures should be performed.
1.Make sure that no power is applied to any system device.
2.Check all wiring and device switch settings.
3.Disconnect all devices from the RS-485 communication line.
4.Power up the controller. (Check voltage requirement first.)
5.Configure the controller, and verify that it is working properly.
6.Connect one port of the RS-485 communication line to the multiplexer.
7.Power up a DEPENDENT device, and verify that it passes its own power-up self-test. (Check voltage
requirement first.)
8.Check for ground fault between the DEPENDENT device and the RS-485 communication line. If
applicable, find the fault and clear it.
9.Connect the DEPENDENT device to the RS-485 line and bring in on-line.
10. Verify all functions of the DEPENDENT device.
11. Verify the RS-485 line voltage in reference to the signal ground (SG.)
12. For each additional DEPENDENT device, repeat steps 7 through 11.
13. Verify the RS-485 line voltage for the controller, and mark the readings on the inside of the controller
panel for future reference.
System Testing
For UL1076 compliance, a general system test should be performed at least once per year.
3.1Device Configuration Checks
Common device configuration problems include mismatched baud rates and incorrect device addresses. No
two devices on the same RS-485 line should have the same device address. Check all switch settings before
attempting to bring the device on-line.
System programming must include the order of priority signals described below:
1.Hold-up or panic alarm or duress.
2.Burglar alarm.
3.Burglar-alarm supervision.
4.Industrial supervision where a risk of injury to persons, or damage or destruction of property will not be
involved.
5.Other supervisory services.
Items (1) and (2) may have equal priority. Items (4) and (5) may have equal priority.
revision 7 — 43

3.2Ground Potential Difference Checks Before Connecting
Before a device can be connected to the RS-485 communication line, it must be checked for ground fault.
Uncorrected ground fault can damage all devices connected to the RS-485 communication line.
To check if there is ground fault for a new unit, follow the steps below.
1.Apply power to all devices already successfully connected to the RS-485 line.
2.Power up the new unit, but DO NOT connect it to the RS-485 line.
3.Connect the signal ground (SG) of the RS-485 line through a 10K limiting resistor.
4.Measure the AC and DC voltage across the resistor. There should NOT be more than 1 volt across the
resistor. Otherwise find and clear the fault.
5.Connect the new unit to the RS-485 line if no ground fault is found.

4.1Firmware Updates
Do the following to update the firmware on your system. You must have the “ADMIN” permission level.
1.Install the new version of the OnGuard software.
2.In the Main Alarm Monitor window of the Alarm Monitoring module, right-click on the name of an
access panel.
3.Select the Download Firmware choice from the popup menu
4.OnGuard will initiate the firmware update then perform a full download to the access panel and to all
devices connected to it.
You must update each access panel in the system. Although it is not necessary to shutdown the application to
perform the updates, note that the selected access panel is placed in a degraded off-line mode during the
process. During this process, the readers connected to the panel are put into their off-line mode (“facility
code only,” “locked,” etc.), which is configured on the Reader form of the System Administration module. It
is strongly recommended that you perform the update on the panel during a time when no one will be
accessing it.
Firmware can be simultaneously downloaded to multiple panels at once. However, it is recommended to do
so one at a time to prevent any problems from occurring until you become familiar with the impact on
system performance.
4.2AES/Extended Firmware
The ISC (LNL-500, 1000, and 2000) supports encryption and asset management with use of AES/Extended
firmware. The controller must have a 256 KB chip.
If you wish to use this feature and have a controller with a 128 KB chip, it must be upgraded. Typically, this
upgrade would be required for the LNL-500 serial number 6352 or lower or the LNL-1000 serial number
12862 or lower.
Encryption is controlled by a DIP switch setting. Turn DIP switch 8 ON to enhance security. When a host
system attempts to communicate with an encryption-enabled controller, a proper master key is required.
Note:The controller only reads DIP switch settings when it is powered up. If DIP switch settings are
changed, the controller must go through a power cycle before the changes are seen.
Asset management can be done with any standard Wiegand output asset reader. Assets are stored in the
controller and linked to cardholders.

the backup system, and indicate an audible, or obvious visual indication.
A fault tolerant system may be used in lieu of complete duplication of the system if every component in the
fault tolerant system, including the software and power supply, is duplicated.
All OnGuard system solutions that are to be UL1076 compliant systems must also meet the requirements
specified in Section 25A of the UL1076 (Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems Standard for Safety).
This requirement outlines the need for host monitoring redundancy. Host monitoring redundancy can be
accomplished in many ways, but the standard is clear as to receiving equipment methods, recovery time,
surge suppression and system configurations. Contact Lenel if configuration assistance is required.
All inputs must be supervised for UL1076 installations.
Priority features (alarm, loss of line voltage, opens, shorts, etc.) must be programmed for an audio and a
visual indication at the central supervisory station equipment, and to create a printout. The condition must be
recorded. This indication shall not be silenced without acknowledgement.
Bypass of protective features, such as auto-bypass for forced arm, must not be programmed for UL.
If a modem or Ethernet is used as a method of communication, the connection must be maintained
continuously.

To install the ISC, perform the installation procedures described in the following sections, in the order in
which they are presented.
1.Wire the unsupervised alarm inputs for power fault and cabinet tamper monitoring.
2.Wire the upstream host communication.
3.Wire the downstream device communication.
4.Wire the power input.
5.Remove the plastic safety strip from the memory backup battery.
9.1Wiring
9.1.1Unsupervised Alarm Inputs: Power Fault and Cabinet Tamper
Monitors
The ISC features two unsupervised alarm inputs that can be used for power fault and cabinet tamper
monitoring. These inputs are connected using the Input 2 (IN2) and Input 1 (IN1) contact terminals on the
ISC board.
Input 2 and Input 1 are both simple N/C (normally closed) contact closure monitors.
Wire the Input 2 and Input 1 contacts using twisted pair cable, 30 ohms maximum. (No EOL resistors are
required.)
Note:If either of these inputs is not used, a shorting wire should be installed.
Unsupervised Alarm Input Wiring
9.1.2Upstream Host Communication
The ISC uses Port 1 to communicate to the host system. Port 1 can be wired as an RS-232 interface for
direct one-to-one (or modem) communication, or as an RS-485 interface for multi-drop or extended distance
communication.
revision 7 — 63

LNL-500 Intelligent System Controller
Direct-connect RS-232 cables should be no longer than 50 feet. Leased lines or fiber optics can also be used.
For RS-485 communication, the following type of RS-485 cable is required: 24 AWG (minimum) twisted
pair (with shields). Either 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 cable configuration can be used. The RS-485 cable
should be no longer than 4000 feet (1219 m), 120 ohms maximum (Belden 9842 4-wire or 9841 2-wire,
plenum cabling Belden 88102, West Penn, or equivalent.) The drop cables (to readers and other devices)
should be kept as short as possible, no longer than 10 feet.
RS-232 Communications
The RS-232 communications interface is for short distance wiring or point-to-point communications. A
number of products provide RS-232 interfaces such as connections to local printer, modem, PC, etc. This
interface is intended for a short distance communication because its high impedance is more susceptible to
noise. Cable length is generally limited to 50 feet (15.24 m). If required, this distance may be extended to a
few hundred feet by using low capacitance shielded cables. The optimal cable is a Belden 9610 or equivalent
wire.
RS-485 Communications
The (EIA) Electronic Industries Association standard defines RS-485 as an electrical interface for multi-port
communications on a bus transmission line. It allows for high-speed data transfer over extended distance
(4000 feet/1219 m). The RS-485 interface uses a balance of differential transmitter/receiver to reject
common mode noise. For increased reliability over the extended distances end-of-line (EOL) termination is
required.
RS-485 Line Termination
RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire) must be terminated at both ends of the RS-485 line (bus). Terminating the line
provides a more reliable communication by minimizing the signal reflection and external noise coupling.
Each component provided has an on-board terminator. It is up to the installer to determine which device is at
the End of the communication line. (see diagram below)

brackets [ ]. The default shipping position is shown below.
10.2.1RS-485 Cable Termination from Host to ISC
The device used to convert RS-232 communication to RS-485 determines the termination necessary for this
segment of the RS-485 communication bus. These communications devices, pre-bias the RS-485 signal,
which marks the state of the signal being sent and allows the line to flow for reliable communications. This
is true for most devices that are used for Host to ISC communications, but any device that has been approved
by Lenel will indicate how termination should be configured for proper operation in its documentation.
10.2.2RS-485 Cable Termination from ISC to Downstream Modules
Termination of this section of the RS-485 bus always remains the same. Each end of the RS-485 bus must be
terminated using the on-board jumpers provided with each piece of hardware. Please refer to the termination
drawings for each component being installed in this hardware manual.
Note:This applies to Ports 2 and 3.

13Overview of the LNL-1000
This installation guide is intended for use by technicians who will be installing and maintaining the
Intelligent System Controller.
The Intelligent System Controller (ISC) serves as the predominant access control engine. The ISC provides
power, performance, and flexibility for the most demanding applications. Multiple combinations of Alarm
Input Control Modules, Output Control Modules, and card reader interface modules can be configured.
The ISC can communicate upstream at 38.4 Kbps via RS-232, RS-485 multi-dropped configurations,
modem dial-up communications, Ethernet TCP/IP networks, or Token Ring networks. The standard ISC can
store 5,000 cardholders and 100,000 events, with expansion capabilities for up to 250,000 cardholders and 1
million events. The ISC has four downstream 2-wire RS-485 channels or two 4-wire RS-485 channels. In
either configuration you may connect up to 64 readers or 32 devices on a single Intelligent System
Controller. Each SRI, DRI, ICM and OCM takes up one device address.
13.1Interfaces
The ISC interfaces upstream with the Access Control software on a host system, and downstream with the
following field hardware components:

14Installation
To install the ISC, perform the installation procedures described in the following sections, in the order in
which they are presented.
1.Wire the unsupervised alarm inputs for power fault and cabinet tamper monitoring.
2.Wire the upstream host communication.
3.Wire the downstream device communication.
4.Wire the power input.
5.Remove the plastic safety strip from the memory backup battery.
14.1Wiring
14.1.1Unsupervised Alarm Inputs: Power Fault and Cabinet Tamper
Monitors
The ISC features two unsupervised alarm inputs that can be used for power fault and cabinet tamper
monitoring. These inputs are connected using the Input 2 (IN2) and Input 1 (IN1) contact terminals on the
ISC board.
Input 2 and Input 1 are both simple N/C (normally closed) contact closure monitors.
Wire the Input 2 and Input 1 contacts using twisted pair cable, 30 ohms maximum. (No EOL resistors are
required.)
Note:If either of these inputs is not used, a shorting wire should be installed.
Unsupervised Alarm Input Wiring.
14.1.2Upstream Host Communication
The ISC uses Port 1 to communicate to the host system. Port 1 can be wired as an RS-232 interface for direct
one-to-one (or modem) communication, or as an RS-485 interface for multi-drop or extended distance
communication.
revision 7 — 79
Page 80
LNL-1000 Intelligent System Controller
Direct-connect RS-232 cables should be no longer than 50 feet. Leased lines or fiber optics can also be used.
For RS-485 communication, the following type of RS-485 cable is required: 24 AWG (minimum) twisted
pair (with shields.) Either 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 cable configuration can be used. The RS-485 cable
should be no longer than 4000 feet (1219 m), 100 ohms maximum (Belden 9842 4-wire or 9841 2-wire,
plenum cabling Belden 88102, West Penn, or equivalent.) The drop cables (to readers and other devices)
should be kept as short as possible, no longer than 10 feet.
RS-232 Communications
The RS-232 communications interface is for short distance wiring or point to point communications. A
number of products provide RS-232 interfaces such as connections to local printer, modem, PC, etc. This
interface is intended for a short distance communication because its high impedance is more susceptible to
noise. Cable length is generally limited to 50 feet (15.24 m). If required, this distance may be extended to a
few hundred feet by using low capacitance shielded cables. The optimal cable is a (Belden 9610) or
equivalent wire.
RS-485 Communications
The (EIA) Electronic Industries Association standard defines RS-485 as an electrical interface for multiport
communications on a bus transmission line. It allows for high-speed data transfer over extended distance
(4000 feet, 1219 m). The RS-485 interface uses a balance of differential transmitter/receiver to reject
common mode noise. For increased reliability over the extended distances End-of-line (EOL) termination is
required.
RS-485 Line Termination
RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire) must be terminated at both ends of the RS-485 line (bus). Terminating the line
provides a more reliable communication by minimizing the signal reflection and external noise coupling.
Each has an on-board terminator. It is up to the installer to determine which device is at the End of the
communication line (see diagram).

14.1.4Power
The ISC accepts either a 12 VDC or 12 VAC ± 15% power source for its power input. The power source
should be located as close to the ISC as possible.
Wire the power input with 18 AWG (minimum) twisted pair cable.
For AC power sources, the following lines are required: AC Line (L), AC Neutral (N). These lines must not
be interchanged. A 600mA RMS current is required for AC power supplies.
For DC power sources, isolated and non-switching, regulated DC power is required. A 350mA current is
required for DC power supplies.
Note:If using a 12 VDC power source, be sure to observe polarity.

19Installation
To install the ISC, perform the installation procedures described in the following sections, in the order in
which they are presented.
1.Wire the unsupervised alarm inputs for power fault and cabinet tamper monitoring.
2.Wire the upstream host communication.
3.Wire the downstream device communication.
4.Wire the power input.
5.Remove the plastic safety strip from the memory backup battery.
19.1Wiring
19.1.1Unsupervised Alarm Inputs: Power Fault and Cabinet Tamper
Monitors
The LNL-2000 features two alarm inputs that can be used for power fault and cabinet tamper monitoring.
These inputs are connected using the Input 2 (IN2) and Input 1 (IN1) contact terminals on the ISC board.
Input 2 and Input 1 are both simple N/C (normally closed) contact closure monitors.
Note:If either of these inputs is not used, a shorting wire should be installed.
Unsupervised Alarm Input Wiring
19.1.2Upstream Host Communication
Configuration data and event/status reports are communicated via port 1 (primary) or port 6 (secondary), the
host ports. RS-232 interface is for direct one to one connection to a host computer port, via modem or a
plug-in ethernet module. When the ethernet module is used, port 1 must be configured as a RS-232 interface.
I/O devices are connected via port 2 through port 5.
Port 1 may be set up as a RS-232 interface or a RS-485 interface. RS-485 interface may be 2-wire or 4-wire
type.
revision 7 — 97
Page 98
LNL-2000 Intelligent System Controller
Port 6 may be set up as RS-232 interface or a RS-485 interface. RS-485 interface may be 2-wire or 4-wire
type.
Direct-connect RS-232 cables should be no longer than 50 feet. Leased lines or fiber optics can also be used.
RS-232 Communications
The RS-232 communications interface is for short distance wiring or point to point communications. A
number of products provide RS-232 interfaces such as connections to modem, PC, etc. This interface is
intended for a short distance communication because its high impedance is more susceptible to noise. Cable
length is generally limited to 50 feet (15.24 m). If required, this distance may be extended to a few hundred
feet by using low capacitance shielded cables. The optimal cable is a (Belden 9610) or equivalent wire.
For direct connections (via RS-232) between the LNL-2000 and the host, 115,200 baud is not recommended
unless the third-party hardware devices used support a CTS/RTS hardware handshake at the UART level.
The Microsoft serial device drivers do not support hardware handshaking at this level. The 115,200 baud
rate can be used for the RS-232 connection between the LNL-2000 and the Lantronix devices that support
115,200 baud.
RS-485 Communications
The (EIA) Electronic Industries Association standard defines RS-485 as an electrical interface for multi-port
communications on a bus transmission line. It allows for high-speed data transfer over extended distance
(4000 feet/1219 m). The RS-485 interface uses a balance of differential transmitter/receiver to reject
common mode noise. For increased reliability over the extended distances End-of-line (EOL) termination is
required.
RS-485 communication requires a 24 AWG (minimum) twisted pair (with shields) cable. Either a 2-wire or
4-wire RS-485 cable configuration can be used. The RS-485 cable should be no longer than 4000 feet (1219
m), 100 ohms minimum impedance (Belden 9842 4-wire or 9841 2-wire, plenum cabling Belden 88102,
West Penn, or equivalent). Install a termination jumper only for end of line unit(s).
When connecting to the host via RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire), do not use the 115,200 baud rate because there
is no hardware handshake capability. For reliable communication with this baud rate, CTS on the host must
be connected to RTS on the controller; RS-485 communication does not provide this.
When connecting a controller to a Lantronix device, do not use RS-485 communication. This particular
configuration also lacks hardware handshake signals. RTS on the Lantronix must be connected to CTS on
the controller. At 115,200 baud, CTS on the Lantronix must be connected to RTS on the controller as well,
which is not provided via RS-485.
RS-485 Line Termination
RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire) must be terminated at both ends of the RS-485 line (bus). Terminating the line
provides a more reliable communication by minimizing the signal reflection and external noise coupling.
