1. GROUNDING
Each Power Hub MUST be grounded to the controller. The LEVITON controller and LEVITON
Power Hub(s) must be grounded together to prevent any current from flowing through the RS-485 data bus
(connections A and B). If not grounded properly, damage could occur to the LEVITON controller, LEVITON
Power Hub, Access Control Card Readers, Omni Consoles, and/or OmniTouch Touchscreens.
Connect the “GND” terminal on the LEVITON Power Hub under the section marked “CONTROLLER”, to one
of the “GND” (ground) terminals on the LEVITON controller (See – Figure 1).
Any 12VDC devices (up to 5 Amps total) can be connected to any of the “12V” and “GND” terminals under
“DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 8” (See – Figure 2).

3. CONNECTING D EVICES THAT COMMUNICATE WITH THE A LEVITON
CONTROLLER
When devices that communicate with the LEVITON controller (i.e. 75A00-1 Access Control Readers,
Consoles, or OmniTouch Touchscreens) are connected to the Power Hub, the communications path for the first
row of the devices (DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4) can be separated from the communications path for the second
row of devices (DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8). This is necessary if you are connecting devices that communicate on
a different communications bus.
Connecting Devices of the Same Communications Type
For example, if all connected devices that communicate with the LEVITON controller consist of 75A00-1
Access Control Readers (which communicate on a serial port), then the communications path for the first row
(DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4) does not need to be separated from the second row (DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8). In
this case, switch “SW1” must be in the “CONNECT” position (See – Figure 3).
Likewise, if all connected devices that communicate with the LEVITON controller consist of Consoles and/or
OmniTouch Touchscreens (which communicate on the console bus), the communications path for the first row
(DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4) does not need to be separated from the second row (DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8). In
this case, switch “SW1” must be in the “CONNECT” position.
FOR DEVICES OF THE SAME
COMMUNICATIONS TYPE,
SWITCH SHOULD BE IN THE
"CONNECT" POSITION.
Figure 3
Connecting Devices of Different Communications Types
If a combination of 75A00-1 Access Control Readers and Consoles and/or Touchscreens are connected, then the
communications path for the first row must be separated from the second row. Switch “SW1” must be in the
“DISCONNECT” position (See – Figure 4).
DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4:
75A00-1 Access Control Readers must be connected on the first row (DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4)
DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8:
Consoles and/or OmniTouch Touchscreens must be connected on the second row (DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8)
FOR DEVICES OF DIFFERENT
COMMUNICATIONS TYPES,
SWITCH SHOULD BE IN THE
"DISCONNECT" POSITION.
4. CONNECTING MODEL 75A00-1 ACCESS CONTROL CARD READERS
The 75A00-1 requires 4 wires for operation (2 for power and 2 for communications). The maximum distance
between the 75A00-1 and the LEVITON 83A00 Power Hub is based on two factors: 1) the current draw of the
connected door lock device, and 2) the wire gauge/type used. To maintain proper operation of the 75A00-1 and
the connected door lock device, do not exceed the "Maximum Cable Length" based on the Total Current Draw
and the Wire Gauge/Type per the table below (Table 1).

Note: If cable with multiple conductors is used (such as Cat-5 cable), it is possible to connect multiple
conductors together for power (i.e. the wires between Red and Black of the Access Control Reader and 12V and
GND of the Power Hub) to achieve greater distance.
Connect the Red, Black, Gray, and Orange wires from the 75A00-1 Access Control Reader to the 12V, GND,
A, and B terminals of the LEVITON Model 83A00-1 Power Hub, respectively (See – Figure 5).
When connecting Access Control Readers, only use terminals labeled DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4, unless Switch
“SW1” is in the “CONNECT” position. If “SW1” is in the “CONNECT” position, then DEVICE 5 – DEVICE
8 may also be used for Access Control Readers.

Connecting Additional LEVITON Power Hubs
When connecting more than 8 Model 75A00-1 Access Control Card Readers to an LEVITON OmniPro II or
LEVITON Lumina Pro controller, if additional power is needed to control the required Access Control Readers
and connected locks, or if there are long distances between Access Control Readers and the LEVITON
controller, multiple LEVITON Power Hubs may be used.
To connect multiple Power Hubs together, connect the supplied 4-conductor straight-through modular cable
(black cable) between the modular connector labeled “J302” on the first Power Hub to modular connector
“J301” on the second Power Hub. If additional Power Hubs are required, connect “J302” from the second to
“J301” of the third, and so on. Connect “J302” from the last Power Hub to a serial port (J2 – J5) on the
LEVITON controller (See – Figure 7).
Omni Consoles and OmniTouch Touchscreens require a minimum of 4 wires for operation (2 for power and 2
for communications).
The required distance between the Power Hub and OmniTouch Touchscreen will determine the wire gauge/type
you should use. To prevent the OmniTouch Touchscreen from drawing more than the specified maximum
current from the Power Hub, do not exceed the "Maximum Cable Length" based on the wire gauge/type
according to the “Table 2”.

Notes:
1. If cable with multiple conductors is used (such as Cat-5 cable), it is possible to connect multiple
conductors together to achieve greater distance. For example, using only one of the 24 gauge conductor
in the Cat-5 cable for power (1 for positive and 1 for ground), the maximum distance between the
controller and the touchscreen is 113 feet.
2. The distance between the Power Hub and LEVITON controller combined with the distance between the
Power Hub and a touchscreen, must never exceed a maximum distance of 1000 feet. When calculating
the distance between the Power Hub and a touchscreen, you must subtract the distance between the
Power Hub and the LEVITON controller from the “Maximum Cable Length” as listed in “Table 2”.
Connections
Connect the "Red", "Black", "Yellow", and "Green" wires from the touchscreen to the “12V”, “GND”, "A" and
"B" terminals on the Power Hub, respectively (See – Figure 8).
If Omni Consoles or OmniTouch Touchscreens are being connected to the Power Hub, connect the terminals
labeled “A” and “B” on the LEVITON Power Hub under the section marked “CONTROLLER”, to the “A” and
“B” terminals on the LEVITON controller.
Note: When connecting to an OmniLT, the terminal labeled “A” on the Power Hub connects to the “YEL”
terminal and the terminal labeled “B” on the Power Hub connects to the ”GRN” terminal under the section
marked “CONSOLE” on the OmniLT controller.
When connecting Omni Consoles and/or OmniTouch Touchscreens, only use terminals labeled
DEVICE 5 – DEVICE 8, unless Switch “SW1” is in the “CONNECT” position. If “SW1” is in the
“CONNECT” position, then DEVICE 1 – DEVICE 4 may also be used Omni Consoles and/or OmniTouch
Touchscreens.

b) Either modular connector “J301” or “J302” is connected to a serial port (J1 – J5) on the LEVITON
When the backup batteries connected to the Power Hub become depleted, there are terminals on the Power Hub
that are used to send a signal to the LEVITON controller to alert you of the low battery condition. To take
advantage of this feature, you must have an extra pair of wire between the Power Hub and the LEVITON
controller, and an available zone on the LEVITON controller.
Connect the terminals labeled “LB+” and “LB-” under the section marked “CONTROLLER” on the Power Hub
to the “+” and “-” zone terminals of an available zone on the LEVITON controller. Do not use an end-of-line
resistor on the zone. The touchscreen has a built-in 1K ohm resistor for this output. Configure the zone as a
“Trouble” zone.
When the batteries on the Power Hub fall below a certain voltage threshold, the terminals “LB+” and “LB-”
will open causing the zone on the LEVITON controller to trip, indicating a low battery condition on the Power
Hub.
