Introduction
Access Control Overview
Access Control is the selective restriction to a place or resource such as a property, building or
room to authorized persons and is a matter of who, where, and when. An access control system
is used to automate access control using credentials, credential readers, electric door locks and
other devices. Administrators configure the system to determine who is allowed to enter or exit,
where they are allowed to exit or enter, and when they are allowed to enter or exit. When access
is granted, the door is unlocked for a predetermined time and transaction is recorded. When
access is denied, the door remains locked and the attempted access is recorded. Administrators
can then run reports on the recorded transactions to review activity for selected dates and times.
System Overview
Controller models are available in variety of configurations starting from 1 Door models that
require a separate power supply to 2 & 4 Door models that include an integrated power supply
for the controller and door lock power. Most models can be upgraded after installation with
enhanced features, such as enhanced reporting or more users, using software license keys. All
controllers include tamper and power fault inputs, in and out readers, request to exit and door
position inputs for each door and auxiliary inputs and outputs. All controllers are designed to be
connected to a network using an Ethernet RJ45 connector and configured using the integrated
web server.
Controllers can be configured as either a server or a client. All systems require a server
controller. Some systems have the ability to add additional client controllers to increase the
number of doors, inputs or outputs or control elevators. The software license key is used by the
controller to determine if it is a server or a client. After logging in, the license information about a
can be determined by clicking on the license icon at the bottom of the web page.
Certain models offer a mobile APP that can be used to setup and configure, view logs, lock and
unlock doors and activate threat levels. In addition, some systems also offers a cloud service
that provides a portal where a users or dealer can log into and manage one or many systems
securely.
Client controllers communicate with the server controller via the local area network and are
configured through the server using a web browser on a PC connected to the network. Once the
server or client controller is configured, they will function without a network connection or the
PC. The network and PC is only required for setup, configuration and reporting.

Installation of 1 Door Systems
Installation Check List
The list below provides a logical sequence for installing a system. This list cannot cover all
possible situations and conditions that occur during installation and use and it must be
understood that common sense and caution must be exercised by the person(s) installing,
maintaining and operating the equipment.
✔ Calculate the systems power requirement by adding up the power required
for each device connected to the system to make sure the required power
can be provided by the system.
✔ Mount the controller in an enclosure that is located in a secure, controlled
location
✔ Connect the inputs and outputs and tamper switch
✔ Connect the readers
✔ Connect the door lock and auxiliary output
✔ Connect power to the controller using a dedicated 12 VDC, 2 AMP UL294B
listed power supply. Connect the power supply to an unswitched, grounded
outlet
✔ Obtain an IP address, Subnet Mask, DNS and other information from the
network administrator
✔ Configure the controller's network settings
✔ Connect the controller to the local area network
✔ Add optional license keys to upgrade features
Locating the Controller for Installation
Choose a centrally located, secure, clean and dry area near an AC power source. Avoid
mounting the controller within 6 feet of any equipment that may generate electrical interference.
NOTICE: The power supply used for the controller must only
be connected to an unswitched, grounded, 115 VAC outlet. If
an unswitched outlet is not available or within 6 feet of the
controller mounting location, have a licensed electrician install
an outlet per local codes. All wiring must be in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, NPFA 70 and all local codes. For
UL installations, the maximum Ethernet, Input and Output
cable length is 98.5 feet (30 meters).
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.

Mounting the 1 Door System
Using the provided mounting bracket, the 1 door controller can be mounted vertically or
horizontally in a UL listed enclosure with an integrated tamper switch, that is located in a secure
location. The aluminum heat sink should face away from the mounting surface with a minimum
of 1 inch (25.4 mm) of clearance above the heat sink. The temperature in the mounting location
must be within the system's specified limits. When running wires through knockouts in
enclosures, install bushings or conduit connectors as needed to protect wires from damage.
1. Run all wires to the controller's location and label the wires according to their use.
2. Locate the enclosure for the 1 door controller on the wall and level. Mark the mounting
holes on the wall and remove the enclosure and install anchors appropriate for the type
of wall and mounting conditions.
3. DO NOT DRILL the mounting holes while the enclosure is in place on the wall. Dust and
debris from drilling will contaminate and damage the electronics.
4. Partially insert mounting screws into the top two mounting holes and hang the enclosure
on the screws. Check for level, insert the lower screws and tighten all four mounting
screws.
5. Using the provided mounting bracket as a template, locate the bracket in the enclosure
and mark the location of the mounting screws. The key holes in the bracket are sized for
#6 pan head self tapping screws. Drill the holes for the mounting screws and partly
thread the screws into the holes. Clean any debris from drilling to prevent damage to the
electronics. Place the controller into the mounting bracket and hang on the mounting
screws. Check for level and tighten the mounting screws.

6. Run the wires through the knockout holes and connect to the appropriate terminals (see
following sections of the manual for wiring details).
7. Connect the tamper switch to the controller's tamper inputs.
NOTICE: This equipment includes electronic components that
are sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to discharge by
touching an earth ground before handling this equipment.
NOTE: When locating the controller, choose a centrally located,
secure, clean and dry area. Avoid mounting the controller within
6 fee (2 meters) of any equipment that generates electrical
interference.
