1.0 Introduction

 is manual contains information regarding the basic installation, wiring and con guration of
the e3 Essential, e3 Essential Plus and e3 Elite browser-based access control systems.  e e3

Essential is enclosed in a space-e cient and durable plastic housing.  e e3 Essential Plus and e3
Elite are enclosed in a heavy-duty steel cabinet and feature a self-contained battery back-up with

a supervised power supply. All systems use the same control panel layout and system wiring.

1.1 Access Control Overview

Access control systems are designed to monitor and control access throughout a building or
restricted area. An access control system involves the use of an access device (card, PIN code,
etc.), which is presented at an entry device (reader/keypad) to gain access. When access is granted,
a door is unlocked for a pre-programmed amount of time and a transaction is recorded in a
database for reporting or tracking purposes.

1.2 System Overview

 e e3 Essential / Plus is a one door, two reader access control system with immediate expansion
capability to four doors, eight readers via an optional software license (P/N ES-1DL or ES­1DLB w/reader).  e e3 Elite is capable of managing access for up to 72 doors and 144 readers
without an additional software license.  e e3 Essential / Plus and e3 Elite include Ethernet
support, an integrated web server and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support.

3.0 Installing the Control Panel

3.1 Mounting the Essential Panel

Note: This device
complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
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 interference
that may cause
undesired operation.

 e Essential housing is designed to accommodate the necessary wiring connections for most
installations. Knock-outs are provided at the back-plate of the housing.  e enclosure should be
mounted vertically on a wall, in a secure location within normal temperature and humidity levels.

Installing the Panel

1. Run all necessary wires to the panel location.

2. Remove the enclosure’s cover by removing the two screws in the front of the housing.

3. Level the enclosure on a sturdy wall. Mark the mounting holes with a pencil.

4. Partially insert screws into the top two mounting holes and hang the enclosure on the screws.

5. Pull all wires through the knock-out holes in the enclosure. Label each wire according to its use.

6. Recheck for level, insert the two lower screws, and tighten all four mounting screws.

Note: Choose a centrally
located, secure, clean
and dry area near an
AC power source. Avoid
mounting the panel within
6 feet of any equipment
that generates electrical
interference.

Caution: This equipment
includes electronic
components that are
highly sensitive to
static electricity. Please
discharge by touching
an earth ground before
installing or handling this
equipment.

Note: The plastic housing
will not accommodate a
backup battery. If using
a backup battery, a
separate housing must
be installed.

that generates electrical
interference.

Caution: This equipment
includes electronic
components that are
highly sensitive to
static electricity. Please
discharge by touching
an earth ground before
installing or handling this
equipment.

3.2 Mounting the Essential Plus and Elite

 e e3 Essential Plus and e3 Elite enclosure is designed to accommodate one or two 12VDC 7Ah
backup batteries and the necessary wiring connections for most installations. Conduit knock-outs
are provided on all sides of the enclosure.  e enclosure should be mounted vertically on a wall in
a secure location within normal temperature levels. A minimum of 12 inches of space around all
sides of the enclosure is recommended.

Installing the Panel

1. Run all necessary wires to the panel location.

2. Remove the enclosure’s cover by removing the door of the housing. Unlock the door and
disconnect the ground wire.  e door may be lifted out of the hinge slots.

3. Remove the metal cabinet knock-outs required for wire entry.

4. Level the enclosure on a sturdy wall. Mark the mounting holes with a pencil. ( e cabinet
can be vertically or horizontally mounted depending on space requirements.)

5. Partially insert screws into the top two mounting holes and hang the enclosure on the screws.

6. Pull all wires through the knock-out holes in the enclosure. Label each wire according to its use.

7. Recheck for level, insert the two lower screws, and tighten all four mounting screws.

8. Install bushings as needed in cabinet knockouts to protect wires from damage.

9. Re-install the door and connect the ground wire to the door.

4.0 System Power

 e Essential panel requires a 12VDC, 2A supply (not included). For UL installations, a Linear
Plug in Power supply (PIP) is required (see below).  e Essential may also be powered by a high
Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector using an optional Linear PoE module.

♦ Linear 12VDC/24W (2A) PIP; P/N 0-291312RU

♦ Linear 12VDC/60W (5A) PIP; P/N 0-299177RU (required for UL installations)

♦ Linear e3 PoE module; P/N 620-100159 (requires additional high power PoE injector).

4.1 Essential Power Connection

Power Supply Connection

Caution: A 12VDC power
supply MUST be used.
Incorrect voltage will
damage the product and
void the warranty.

Note: Power should only
be applied to the system
when all connections are
secured and tested.

Cable Specifi cations
for power: 16 AWG

Belden (2 conductor) or
equivalent. Maximum
distance: 6 feet (1.8

meters).

Note: Wiring methods
shall be in accordance
with the National
Electrical Code/NPFA 70
and all local codes.

1. Connect the +12VDC from the power supply to the +12VDC terminal on the panel.

2. Connect the -12VDC from the power supply to the -12VDC terminal on the panel.

3. Connect an earth ground to the green earth ground lead provided in the enclosure.

4. Turn on the power supply. If using a PIP for the power supply, it must be plugged into a
dedicated receptacle that is not controlled by a switch.

5.  e power LEDs (DL17 and DL9) on the panel will turn on to indicate power is present..

Note: A green wire pigtail for
earth ground is provided in all
e3 enclosures
