1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

The MD-W11 Wireless Access Control Door Interface is a quick and
inexpensive solution for connecting remote door devices, such as
readers, locks, and Request-for-Exit (REX) buttons to an access control
unit.

The MD-W11 consists of two units per door – one located near the
controller (the Near Unit) and the other near the door (the Far Unit)
(Figure 1).

Figure 1: MD-W11 Interface

Near Unit Far Unit Battery Pack

The Near Unit is connected to a Rosslare door controller (such as AC­215, AC-225, or AC-525). The Far Unit is connected to proximity card
readers or keypads (such as AY-K12 and AY-Q64B).

When a card is read or a code is entered by keypad, the Far Unit
transmits the information to the Near Unit. The Near Unit, attached to
the controller, determines whether or not to open the door. The
controller then sends the message to the Near Unit, which transmits it
to the Far Unit, and if authorized, the door is opened.

Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance (Rosslare)
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Installation and Wiring

MD-W11 Installation Manual 13

3. Installation and Wiring

The Near and Far Units of the MD-W11 are installed and wired as
explained in this chapter.

3.1 The Installation Kit

The installation kit of the MD-W11 interface includes:

 MD-W11N Near Unit

The Near Unit sends the controller the proximity card ID or
keypad code as though it were a local reader. Following controller
code/ID verification, the lock relay receives a command
(transmitted to the Far Unit) to open the door.

 MD-W11F Far Unit

The Far Unit is connected to a proximity card reader and/or
keypad, and controls the door lock relay.

 MD-W11BP Battery Pack

The battery pack is mounted only on the MD-W11 Far Unit side
(see Section 3.7).

The MD-W11N and the MD-W11F are connected to the controller
and the door components (lock, door monitor, reader). Both units are
transceivers; the Near Unit receives the data transmitted from the
reader and sends it to the controller. If authorized, the controller
sends authorization to the Near Unit, which transmits authorization to
the Far Unit. The Far Unit then opens the door.

The wireless access control door interface transfers the data between
the controller input, the outputs, and the door components (such as
lock, reader, door monitor, and exit button) transparent, as if the door
components were connected directly to the controller.

Installation and Wiring

14 MD-W11 Installation Manual

3.10 Installer Recommendations

To install the MD-W11 units most efficiently, place the Near and Far
Units facing each other, rather than placing them at a 90º angle to
one another.

Both transmission and reception are improved if the Near and Far
Units have the same polarity.

In addition:

 Do not place any of the MD-W11 units next to an air conditioner,

heater, blower, or an engine that generates a magnetic field.

 Do not place any unit next to an electronic device that transmits

RF or next to an access control reader or device.

 Assure that metal fixtures and furnishings (such as doors or

closets) are not in line with the Near and Far Units.

 Assure that the Near and Far Units are at the same approximate

height, preferably above head level.

Enrollment

22 MD-W11 Installation Manual

4. Enrollment

Prevent loss of transmission data by enrolling each pair of Near and
Far Units.

4.1 Enrolling the Units

One unit cannot recognize the unique ID of another unit unless both
units are enrolled so that they can work together.

4.2 DIP Switches

The DIP switches on both units are set as shown in Table 1.

case, first re-set the DIP switches and then power the unit off and on.

Only handle the DIP switches when the power is OFF.

4.2.1 Near and Far Unit Modes

The current unit mode is indicated by a steady or blinking LED. The
three modes (Normal, Enrolling, and Trouble) of the Near and Far
Units are described in detail below.

4.2.1.1 Normal Mode

The Normal mode is “idle,” and the LEDs behave as follows:

 PWR – Power ON (steady)

 Tx – Sending transmission (blinking when sending)
 Rx – Receiving transmission (blinking when receiving)

 SYS – System OK (blinking)

If SYS LED is not blinking, it indicates a serious error.

Operational Information

26 MD-W11 Installation Manual

5. Operational Information

The units should be no more than 300 meters from one another in an
open field.

The Far Unit has one DIP switch with eight buttons, the default for all
of which is On. The end user only uses Button #7 to enroll the Near
and Far Units. When the user turns Button #7 to Off, the Near Unit
recognizes the Far Unit so the units work with each other.

The Far Unit can also be attached to a REX button, a door monitor to
indicate whether a door is open or closed, and a tamper to check
whether the cover was opened. These indications are transmitted
from the Far Unit to the Near Unit, which then sends them to the
controller.

The proximity reader reads card information and sends it from the Far
Unit to the Near Unit and to the controller to determine which door
to open. If applicable, the controller sends authorization to open the
door to the Near Unit, which transmits the authorization to the Far
Unit, and the door is opened.
