Please check the contents of the enclosure and verify all components on the packing list are present. Taking this inventory will familiarize you with the components as well as ensure you have a complete kit.

2.2 Mount the Enclosure

The enclosure is designed to be wall mounted (surface mounted) using the supplied hardware. You must mount the enclosure on the secure side of the door in a secured area such as a locked utility closet. Make sure it is accessible for programming and maintenance purposes. Do not use the controller as access device to enter or exit through the door.
Mounting Procedure:
Unlock and open the metal enclosure. Notice that the enclosure lid opens from top to bottom so the enclosure lid forms a tabletop for a convenient workspace.
1. Use the supplied wall anchors and sheet metal screws to secure the enclosure to the wall.
2. Drill 11/64’’ diameter holes for the wall anchors.
3. Tap the wall anchors into the wall until the outer flange is flush to the wall surface.
4. Insert the sheet-metal screws ¾ of the way into the anchors.
5. Hang the enclosure by aligning the slotted holes (cut into the rear of the cabinet) with the sheet-metal screws. Space between slotted holes; on-center 17” Horizontally and 13” Vertically.
6. The enclosure should now be resting on the sheet-metal screws.

2.3 Ground the Unit

Grounding the system before making any electrical connections is imperative!
By grounding the system first you not only increase personal safety during installation, but you also protect the unit from damage due to static discharge or any other transient voltage effects. We cannot stress enough the importance of completely grounding the unit before making any connections or even touching the backplane (the large circuit board in the enclosure). Wire as shown and plug the transformer into a grounded electrical socket.
Do not make any AC Power connections until Step 13 of the installation.
Figure 3: Connecting the GND Terminal from Transformer to the Backplane
TOUCH THE GROUNDED METAL CABINET BEFORE TOUCHING THE BACKPLANE OR THE MAX 3 DOOR CONTROL MODULE. THIS WILL REMOVE ANY STATIC CHARGE ON YOUR PERSON. STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS USED ON THE CONTROLLERS.

2.6 Wire an Electric Door Lock to the Main Relay of the Max 3 Module

The locking device is connected to terminal strip TS1 as shown in the diagram on the right. The two diagrams below show how to connect both a Maglock and an Electric Strike using an external power supply.
For either locking device, positive voltage (V+) from an external power source is connected to the relay common terminal (C).
When using a Maglock, connect the lock's positive side to the normally closed (NC) terminal and the negative side to negative on your power supply. When using an Electric Strike, connect the lock's positive side to the normally open (NO) terminal and the negative side to negative on your power supply.
NOTES:
You must use an external power supply to power your lock.
The relay is a FORM C DRY CONTACT, which means there is no output voltage on the relay contacts.
When using AC voltage, polarity does not matter.

Section 2: Installation IEI Max 3 Installation/Programming Manual

2.6.1 Installing a Diode to Prevent Electrical Kickback from Lock – DC Locks Only

If your electric locking device does not come pre-installed with internal protection for electrical “kickback voltage” use the supplied 1N4004 diode for DC locks only. This “kickback voltage” could possibly damage the Max 3 control module and installing the diode could help prevent this from happening. When installing the diode, connect it across the positive (V+) and negative (V-) of your locking device. The diode is polarized, which means the cathode mark (silver band at one end) must be connected to the positive connection as shown below. You must connect the diode as close as possible to the locking device for it to work properly.
Figure 7: Connecting Diode
Across Maglock
Figure 6: Connecting Diode Across Strike

2.6.2 Installing an MOV to Prevent Electrical Kickback from Lock – AC Locks Only

If your electric locking device does not come pre-installed with internal protection for electrical “kickback voltage” use the supplied MOV for AC locks only. This “kickback voltage” could possibly damage the Max 3 control module and installing the MOV could help prevent this from happening. When installing the MOV, connect it across the AC connections to your locking device. The MOV is not polarized so it does not matter which direction you install it. You must connect the MOV as close as possible to the locking device for it to work properly.

2.7 Connect a Secured Series Front End (SSFE) Reader to the Door Control Module

The Max 3 supports IEI Secured Series Front Ends, which include keypads, card readers and touch chip readers. These are connected to to the Front End terminal strip TS5. You can connect up to two readers to each Door Control Module, for In/Out operation by simply wiring them in parallel (both readers to the same four screw terminals). Each screw terminal is labeled with a wire color (black, red, white/black and white yellow). These correspond to the color wire on the wire harness supplied with the front end reader.
You must use a four-conductor stranded cable with overall foil shield to connect the Front End to the Door Control Module. You also must terminate the drain wire (the bare wire inside the foil shield), from the front end cable, to the fast-tab located on the Max 3 Backplane. There is a fast-tab located under each module on the lower edge of the backplane. They are labeled FT1, FT2, FT3 and FT4. Connect the drain wire from the front ends connected to module one to FT1 and so on. IEI has included four ground cables and wire-nuts to make this connection. Do not terminate the drain wire at the Front End Reader. Cut off the exposed drain wire and
wrap the insulation and the foil shield in electrical tape.
Note: The Max 3 Door Control Module must be configured to operate in Secured
Series Front End Mode. To do this, locate jumper JP2 above terminal strip TS7 and place the jumper on both pins.

Door Switch Input
This is a normally open loop, when momentarily closed activates the Main Relay for the length of time programmed in the Main Relay Time (command 11).
This is a normally closed loop that tells the Max 3 the door status. This is used for the Door Ajar, Forced Door and Auto-Relock features.
Auto-Relock
Auto Re-lock refers to the feature that automatically locks the door one second after the door contact switch is opened. This allows you to program a long unlock time, when required, without worrying about the door remaining open after the person has entered. No programming is necessary for this feature, but it does require you connect a door contact switch as shown in the diagram above. Remember you must remove jumper JP1 for the door contact input to operate.

The Forced Door Relay Output alerts personnel that the door was opened without authorization. For this feature to operate you must wire a dedicated door contact switch to the door terminals on TS6 (door contact switch input) as shown below. Remember you must remove jumper JP1 for the door contact input to operate. If these door contacts are opened without a valid access or REX, the Forced Door Relay energizes immediately. It remains energized until either a valid code is entered or card presented to the Front End Reader, a valid code is entered on the Max 3 Module or the Forced Time (command 45) expires.
The diagram below shows how to switch positive power (V+) to an alarm device. The Relay is rated to handle 1 Amp of current at either 12 or 24 Volts AC/DC. Alarm device(s) are not included with IEI equipment.

2.14 Network the Max 3

The following section describes the various ways to connect the Max 3 to a personal computer (PC), as well as connecting more than one Max 3 together. You can connect up to 64 Max 3 doors together on a single network.
IMPORTANT: When using the PC software to manage multiple doors you must program a unique door number into each Door Control Module using the following command: 43 # 0 # Door Number # ** (Door Number = 1 to 64). Refer to section 3.3.

2.14.1 Connect the Max 3 Backplane Directly to a PC

The Max 3 connects to a PC using RS-485 communications. However, a PC has either an RS-232 serial COM port or a USB port. This means that in order to connect to a PC you must use either an RS-232 to RS-485 converter OR a USB to RS-485 converter. RS­485 communications does have some significant advantages over other connection types, such as increased distance of up to 4000 feet using the appropriate cable, the devices are wired in parallel which means if one unit goes off-line the rest are unaffected and increased data transfer speed.
To make this connection, connect the Data A, Data B and GND terminals on TS3 (See below) to the same corresponding connections on your converter. Then make the connection from the converter to your PC. Please refer to the instructions with your specific converter for complete details on that device.
Note: The Max 3 Module must be connected to the backplane using the wire harness described in section 2.4.
Note: The maximum distance between the backplane and the converter is 4000 feet using 24AWG, shielded, two twisted-pair telephone cable with a shunt capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.

IEI Max 3 Installation/Programming Manual Section 2: Installation

2.14.2 Connect Multiple Backplanes Together

The diagram below shows how to connect multiple backplanes together and then back to a PC. The units are wired in parallel, which means you connect TS3 on both backplanes back to the RS-485 converter. You can either daisy-chain them or wire them all directly back to the converter, depending what your installation requires. When connecting multiple backplanes, remember that each backplane can be up to 4000 feet away from the converter. For example if your PC was centrally located with two units in either direction at 4000 feet, the two backplanes would be 8000 feet apart. However, if you daisy-chain them, the last backplane in line, can't be more than 4000 feet away. Below is an example of daisy-chaining backplanes together.
Note: The maximum distance between any backplane and the converter is 4000 feet using 24AWG, shielded, two twisted-pair telephone cable with a shunt capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.

2.14.3 Connect the SEG-M to the Max 3 (LAN/WAN Connection)

You can connect your Max 3 to your LAN/WAN by using the SEG-M, Secured Ethernet Gateway. Follow the instructions below and refer to the diagram.
The connection from the SEG-M to the Max 3 requires you to plug the module onto the backplane connector S1 to power the unit. You must also use the six-conductor wire harness from J1 on the SEG-M to P5 on the module and J1 on the backplane. If you have more than one module on the backplane, you must connect each module to the corresponding RS-485 connector (J2, J3 or J4) underneath the module as described in section 2.4.
To connect additional backplanes to the system, simply connect TS3 on the first backplane to TS3 on the next backplane as shown below. The SEG-M is only required on the first backplane of the system (up to 64 doors Max; if you require more doors an additional SEG-M is required).
Note: The maximum distance between the first backplane with the SEG-M and the next backplane is 4000 feet using 24AWG, shielded, two twisted-pair telephone cable with a shunt capacitance of 16 pF/Ft.

Section 3: Programming

This section contains the details of programming the Max 3 Door Control Module using the detachable keypad. If you are using the PC software, this section may not apply, but you may find it useful to familiarize yourself with the various features available in the Max 3. To see a complete list of programming commands refer to the programming options chart at the end of this section.

3.1 Programming Methods

There are two ways you can program the Max 3 Door Control Module. You can either program it using the detachable keypad or you can program it using the PC software. Using the PC software gives you access to many more features than you would have programming through the keypad only. This manual covers only programming through the keypad, although it does refer to features that require the PC software to use to it's fullest extent.
The diagram below shows how to connect the detachable keypad to the Door Control Module. The keypad comes pre-installed on the first module, but to program additional modules you must remove it and connect to the module you are programming.

3.2 Entering Program Mode and Changing the Master Code

The following sections explains how to enter program mode and change the master code. You also have the option to program a supervisor user, which allows an additional person to add and delete users.

3.2.1 Entering Program Mode

The first step in programming the Max 3 Door Control Module is to place it into program mode by using the master code, which is defaulted to 1234.
To place the unit in program mode, press: 99 # Master Code *
When the unit is in program mode the yellow LED flashes slowly.
When you are done programming, to exit program mode press the * key and the yellow LED stops flashing.
If at any point you make a programming error (either press a wrong key or perform a command the unit does not recognize), the unit produces a program error by turning on the yellow LED solid. To clear a program error, simply press the * key.
Note: If you don't know the master code press the program button (SW1) on the main circuit board. Momentarily pushing this button forces the unit into program mode. You then should change the master code immediately.

3.2.2 Changing the Master Code

The master code is stored in user memory location 1 and used to enter program mode. To change the master code use the following programming sequence:
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *
Change Master Code 1 # new master code * new master code *
Exit Program Mode *
Note: Throughout the programming section the last step is to exit program mode. If you are going to program multiple users or keypad options, you are not required to exit program mode after each command sequence. You may continue to the next programming command without exiting program mode. When all your programming is complete, you can then exit program mode by pressing the * key.

3.2.3 Programming a Supervisor Code

The following table shows how to program a supervisor code. User location 2 is reserved for the supervisor code. This user has access to only user programming commands and can't change other system related options and parameters.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *

3.6 Programming Users

The following section describes in detail how to program users. Each Max 3 Door Control Module can store up to 2000 users. Each user is stored in a unique position in the units memory. This is referred to as the user location. Codes can be from 1 to 6 digit in length in any combination. If at any point while programming a code or a card you get a programming error (solid yellow LED), and you know you are entering the command correctly, make sure that the code or card is not already programmed. If you are unsure try entering that code or presenting that card outside of program mode and see if you are granted access. If so, you must use a different code or card for that user.
Note: IEI recommends that, if you are not using software, you keep a list of all the users you have programmed in the device, in case you need to modify or delete a particular user later on.

3.6.1 User Types

The table below identifies and describes the four user types supported by the Max 3. The user type number is used in programming commands in the subsequent sections where it indicates “user type.”
Table 4: User Types
User Type Name User Type Number Description
Toggle User 0 Toggle users are used to latch the Main Relay in the unlocked
position for an indefinite period of time. Entering the same (or another) toggle code, re-locks the unit.
Standard Access 1 Normal access users are the default user type. This user type unlocks
the door for the duration of the Main Relay Time set in command 11. See section 3.4 for details.
Lockout User 3 A Lockout user is used to lock out other users from gaining access
through the door. Refer to section 3.10 for details on user lockout.
Extended Unlock User 4 Extended Unlock users operate like standard access users, except
they use a different unlock time programmed using command 32, parameter 3. It is defaulted to 10 seconds. See section 3.8 for details.
Singe Use User 5 Single use users are allowed to gain access only once. After you enter
this code/card the user is deleted from memory.
Relock User 6 A Relock user is used to relock the door if it was toggled open or is in
auto-unlock. Once entered, the door relocks immediately.
Emergency User 7 An Emergency user is a special user that can't be locked out by a user
lockout code. This user also uses the extended unlock time. It is defaulted to 10 seconds. See section 3.8 for details.

3.9 Programming Facility Code

This command is used to set the facility code used when programming 26-bit wiegand cards using commands 51 and 57. When using these commands, the controller takes the programmed facility code and builds the 26-bit card data to store in the user location. The default value is 11.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *
Program Facility Code 32 # 4 # facility # * * (0 to 255)
Exit Program Mode *

3.10 Programming User Lockout

User lockout is used to lock down the controller so users cannot gain entrance through the door. If a locked out user attempts to gain access after a lockout code (user type 3) is entered the front end indicates an error condition. On a Secured Series Front End, the yellow LED (if equipped) lights for 2 seconds. On a Wiegand Front End, the sounder activates for 2 seconds.
Note: The master code, supervisor user and emergency users can't be locked out.
User lockout locks out users by location. This means that any user in higher user location than the lockout user used to initiate lockout does not gain access. For example if the lockout user is in user location 6, users from locations 7 through 2000 do not have access.
By default, user lockout is enabled. If you with to turn it off see the command below.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *

3.15 Programming Wiegand LED Active State

This command is used to program the wiegand LED terminal active state, which controls the wiegand front end's LED to indicate whether the door is locked or not. By default the wiegand LED terminals is high (13.8 Volts) and when a programmed card is presented and is validated, the LED terminal goes low (Ground) when access is granted. This is known as active low. An active high state is just the opposite. The LED terminal is low and goes high on a valid access.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *
Set Wiegand LED Active State to Low 30 # 16 # 0 # * * (default)
Set Wiegand LED Active State to High 30 # 16 # 1 # * *
Exit Program Mode *

3.16 Programming Wiegand Sounder Active State

The wiegand sounder terminal (SND) is used to indicate an error condition on a wiegand front end by using the reader's sounder (if available). When an access denied error condition such as user lockout, user disabled or bad timezone occurs the sounder terminal changes state for 2 seconds, which generates a solid tone on the reader's sounder. When error lockout occurs, the terminal changes state for the amount of time programmed for the error lockout duration (command 32, parameter 1). By default the sounder state is set to active low. This means that the terminal is normally high (13.8 Volts) and goes low (Ground) on an error condition. Setting the sate to an active high means the terminal is normally low (Ground) and does high (13.8 Volts) on error condition.

3.17 Enable/Disable Control Module Audio Indicators

Control Module audio indicators refers the the sounds generated by the controller to indicate various conditions after a code is entered or card is presented at the front end. This feature should be used mainly for troubleshooting purposes, since you wouldn't be able to hear the audio indicators when the cabinet is closed. For instance, you may want to enable this to find out why someone is being denied access.
Note: These audio alerts only occur on the control module not on the front end.

3.18 Reseting System Defaults and Erasing Memory

There are two methods for deleting programmed information from the Max 3 Door Control Module. The first method is using command 40, which resets the system defaults and the master code only. The second method is through command 46, which erases all the memory in the unit, except the transaction log.

3.18.1 Resetting the Master Code and System Defaults Only

Entering command 40 erases everything from memory except the user list and transaction log and restores the default settings. This is useful if the unit has experienced programming problems, or wish to delete earlier programming.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *
Reset System Defaults 40 # 00000 # 00000 # * *
Exit Program Mode *

3.18.2 Erasing Entire Memory/Resetting System Defaults

Entering command 46 deletes everything from memory including the user list but not the transaction log and restores the default settings. This is used as a last resort if you need to erase a specific user and do not have a programmed user list.
Action Command
Enter Program Mode 99 # master code *
Erase Entire Memory 46 # 00000 # 00000 # * *
