1.1 TX3 Systems

The Mircom's TX3 series of telephone access systems provide high quality two­way communication between residents and their visitors in a multi-unit dwelling establishment.
The basic TX3 system consists of the TX3 Lobby Control Unit and depending on the application, may be integrated with a combination of Mircom Elevator Restriction Units, Card Access Units and Touch Screens. All access systems may be networked together using either a peer-to-peer RS-485 connection, an ethernet TCP/IP connections, or an ethernet TCP/IP network with RS-485 subnetworks.
The TX3 system is capable of providing ADC or NSL type telephone access control from a single panel or from a networked system.
A maximum of 63 units are supported with any combination of Touch Screens, Lobby Control Units, Elevator Restriction Units and Card Access Units. Valid network addresses range from 1 to 63. One of the networked units with a real time clock, such as Touch Screen, Lobby Control or Card Access must have their network address set to 1. In addition, units can be connected to either an ethernet TCP/IP network or a combination ethernet TCP/IP network with RS-485 subnetworks, both of which allow more than 64 units to be networked. See Networking TX3 Panels on page 44 for more information.
Introduction
The access system can be configured as an autodialer controller (ADC) or as a no subscriber line (NSL) system. Both system setups can be configured for multiple entrances with independent doors and control devices such as electric door locks, cameras, and garage doors.

1.1.1 ADC and NSL Capability

TX3 supports full ADC and NSL telephone connectivity from a single Telephone Access System panel or from a networked system. A single panel supports up to five ADC and/or NSL telephone lines.
An ADC connection requires a dedicated subscriber telephone line service connected to an outside telephone line. This connection lets the visitor call the tenant and access their voice mail.
An NSL type connection uses the existing building telephone lines for communication and does not require a separate telephone line. This system may consist of one or more Lobby Control Units connected to TX3-NSL-8M NSL Units, typically located in the electrical/telephone room of a building. The NSL units intercept all telephone lines into the building’s suites and communicate directly to the resident phone using the Lobby Control Unit.
Note: Non-configurable PBX systems are not supported. For more
information, contact technical support at Mircom.

1.1.2 Elevator Restriction Units

The TX3-ER-8 or TX3-ER-8-A Elevator Restriction Units limit building accessibility by granting visitor access only to the destination floor.

1.1.3 Other Controllers

Other Mircom controllers, such as the Elevator Restrictor Unit and the Card Access controller, may be networked with the Lobby Control Unit. The network options include a peer-to-peer RS-485 network, an ethernet TCP/IP network, or a combination ethernet TCP/IP network with RS-485 subnetworks. See Networking TX3 Panels on page 44 for more information.
Notes: In order for a panel to connect to an ethernet TCP/IP network, it
must satisfy the following conditions.
It must be IP capable. Panels that are IP capable are usually denoted by a “-A” or “-B” at the end of their model names.
If the panel is not a T ouch Screen, it must have a TX3-IP IP Module installed.

2.1 Grounding the T elephone Access System

Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an alternate escape route for the electrical current. Telephone Access System is equipped with a 16 gauge electrical wire attached to the panel chassis ground post.
To ground the Telephone Access System attach one end of the supplied cable to a suitable grounding wire and connect it to the site ground.

2.2 Installing the Enclosures and Lobby Control Unit

Lobby Control Units use one of the following three types of Lobby Control Unit enclosures:
Universal Series. The Universal Series are surface or semi-flush mounted with the lobby Lobby Control Units. Optional flush trim rings are available for semi­flush and flush installations. The semi-flush trim is the TX3-UFT. A rain hood is included allowing for outdoor use.
Universal Slim-Line Series. The Universal Slim-Line series enclosure houses the TX3-200-4U model and can be surface or semi-flush mounted. The semi­flush trim is the TX3-USFT.
Continental Series. The Continental Series enclosure for Lobby Control Units are flush mounted.

3.1 TX3 System

The TX3 Lobby Control Unit may be networked with a combination of Elevator Restriction Units and Card Access Units through a peer-to-peer RS-485 connection.
The TX3 system is capable of providing ADC or NSL telephone access from a single panel or from a networked system.
The No Subscriber Line (NSL) controller does not require an outside telephone service and calls residents directly using the existing building’s resident telephone lines. The NSL system uses the TX3-NSL-8M NSL units and TX3­8EC/16 NSL expanders situated in the electrical/telephone rooms.
The Auto Dialer Controller (ADC) uses the existing outside telephone lines to call residents.
Each outside telephone line requires a separate line to the entry control panel. The following figures depict various TX3 network scenarios.
TX3 System
Note: Install all transformers outside the Lobby Control Unit enclosure.
All wiring is a maximum length of 1000 ft. The RS-485 wiring maximum length is 4000 ft.
All units use the PS-4P transformer for the power supply. The door strike power supply depends on the door strike power requirements.

3.6 Networking TX3 Panels

Mircom devices such as the Lobby Control Unit, the Card Access Controller, and the Touch Screen can be networked with the TX3 system through a peer-to-peer RS-485 network, an ethernet TCP/IP network, or a combination of ethernet and RS-485 networks.
The TX3 Configurator software can connect to any of these network configurations. How you connect to the network (that is, through TCP/IP, USB, a modem, or the COM port) determines what devices you can configure on the network using the TX3 Configurator. The different network configurations are explained in the rest of this section.
Figure 21shows a configuration with TX3 controllers connected on an RS-485 network. Each controller has to have a unique network address on the RS-485 network. Up to 63 unique network addresses can be assigned. If you connect to any device on the RS-485 network (using USB, a modem, or the COM port), you can also connect to and configure any other device on the RS-485 network using the TX3 Configurator.

Notes: In order for a panel to be a Master Node it must satisfy the following
conditions.
It must be IP capable. Panels that are IP ca pable are usually
denoted by a “-A” at the end of their model names.
If the panel is not a Touch Screen, it must have a TX3-IP IP
Module installed.

Figure 23 shows a configuration with TX3 devices connected on both an ethernet TCP/IP network and on RS-485 subnetworks. Devices connected to a Master Node’s RS-485 subnetwork are Slave Nodes to the Master Node. Each RS-485 subnetwork can have up to 63 devices connected to it; you can still have more than 63 Master Nodes connected to the ethernet network.

If you connect to the ethernet TCP/IP network with the TX3 Configurator, you can configure any of the nodes in this configuration. If you connect directly to a device using USB, a modem, or a COM port, you will only be able to configure devices that are on the same RS-485 subnetwork as that device.
Note: There can only be one Master Node on an RS-485 subnetwork. That
is, you cannot connect one RS-485 subnetwork to another RS-485 subnetwork.

5.3.4 Telephone Line

NSL Relay Cabinet Installation and Wiring
Each NSL control unit provides a single telephone line connection to the Lobby Control Unit. See Figure 41 and Figure 42.
Each Lobby Control Unit panel can use any one of the five telephone lines on the Lobby Control Unit Main Controller Board to communicate to an ADC telephone system or to an NSL relay control unit.
There are many possibilities for connecting Entry Control panels and NSL control units, but each main Lobby Control Unit requires one individual telephone line to each NSL control unit.
Lobby Control Units connect to the NSL and control units through telephone lines. Telephone lines are not connected to expansion units.
Expansion relay control units do not require an individual telephone line.

5.3.5 Ring Signal

The NSL control unit provides a 45 Vrms ring signal on REN5 with a line length of 503 m (1650 feet). The minimal ring signal level for North America is 40 Vrms.

Relay addresses are numbered to show the relay card’s connector location and backplane number setting. Table 4 provides sample addresses for the first three backplane number jumper settings.
For example, when the backplane number jumper setting is set to 1, the first relay on P3 relay board has an address of 1. When the backplane number setting is set to 2, the first relay on P3 relay board has an address of 97.
To set the backplane number
1. Determine the relay address according to the relay card’s connector location and backplane number setting.
2. Using a jumper, set the backplane number across the Backplane Number Selection pins as shown in Figure 45.

5.3.11 2012 NSL Relay Board Wiring

The 2012 NSL Relay Board plugs into the backplane boards of the NSL units. There may be up to eight relay boards in each backplane board (to a maximum of 128 relay boards for 16 NSL backplane boards).
Jumper 2
Jumper 3
Address 193-288
In each NSL backplane the relay boards are numbered 1 to 8, starting from the bottom of the backplane and going to the top. Each relay board provides 12 resident telephone lines connections, for a maximum of 1536 telephone lines per system.
Connections are made via the CA-71A BIX Block or RJ-71C Punch Down Block Wiring Configuration as follows:
CA-71A BIX Block. The CA-71A (for Canada) wiring configurations of BIX and Punch Down Block are shown in Figure 47 and Table 5.
RJ-71C Punch Down Block. The RJ-71C (for U.S.A.) wiring configurations of BIX and Punch Down Block are shown in Figure 48 and Table 6.
Normally, the required blocks are installed by the telephone company. Each block serves up to 12 telephone lines.
The 50-pin amphenol connector on the BIX block connects to the 2012 relay card using the standard 9106 cable.
Version 3.7 Telephone Access System Installation and Operation Manual 81 (119) LT-969 Copyright January 2017
Page 82
NSL Relay Cabinet Installation and Wiring
To connect the 2012 NSL Relay Board
1. Contact the telephone company at least three weeks before the actual installation to order the required blocks.
2. Complete the CA-71A or RJ-71C Block Identification Forms (Table 5 and Table 6) for the telephone installer. The form shows the telephone installer how the telephone lines connect to the BIX/Punch Down Blocks.
3. Install all BIX Blocks as close as possible to the NSL unit to which they connect.
4. Plug the 2012 NSL Relay Board into the NSL unit’s backplane board.
5. Connect the 50-pin amphenol connector on the BIX block to the 2012 relay card using the 9106 cable.
6. Connect the CA-71A BIX Block or RJ-71C Punch Down Block Wiring Configuration.
7. See the warranty section on page 113 and provide the following information to the telephone company:
Telephone numbers of the lines to which the TX3 system will be
connected.
The Industry Canada registration number for Canada or the FCC
registration number for U.S.A.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the TX3 system.
Note: RJ-71C wiring configuration is not recognized by all telephone
companies. For Bell Canada who has jurisdiction for Ontario and Quebec, refer to CA-71A block for interconnect to the telephone entry systems.
Note: Since there are two types of block wiring configuration, CA-71A
and RJ-71C, Mircom recommends that you contact the telephone company as to what block wiring configuration is available. We suggest using Mircom's standard 9106 cable for CA-71A or RJ-71C configured blocks since they are straightforward and easy to use.
