Essential & Elite Installation Manual

1.0 Introduction

This manual contains information regarding the basic installation, wiring and configuration of the e3 Essential, e3 Essential Plus and e3 Elite browser-based access control systems. The e3 Essential is enclosed in a space-efficient and durable plastic housing. The 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

The 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). The e3 Elite is capable of managing access for up to 72 doors and 144 readers without an additional software license. The 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

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.

3.1 Mounting the Essential Panel

The Essential housing is designed to accommodate the necessary wiring connections for most installations. Knock-outs are provided at the back-plate of the housing. The 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.

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

The 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. The 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. The 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. (The 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

The Essential panel requires a 12VDC, 2A supply (not included). For UL installations, a Linear Plug in Power supply (PIP) is required (see below). The 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

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

Power Supply Connection

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

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

Cable Specifications 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.
