CAUTION
This equipment contains components that can be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Ensure both you and the equipment are
earthed before beginning any servicing.
The Cardax FT Controller 3000
The Cardax FT Controller 3000 is a network compatible device that interfaces Cardax IV and
Wiegand readers into the Cardax FT Command Centre system.
The Cardax FT Controller 3000 integrates much of the functionality of the original Cardax FT
Controller 5000 with Reader and I/O functionality into a single product. Cardax FT Local BUS
connections are not supported.
Reader Interface
Interfaces to readers and associated I/O are set up as four distinct groups (numbered 1 to 4).
Each group is the same and provides connection to either one Wiegand or two Cardax IV
readers, and four balanced (4-state) inputs and two general purpose relay outputs capable of
switching 24 volts DC/AC, 5A resistive loads. Each group is also provided with a 12 V DC
500mA (resettable fuse) power output.
The Wiegand and Cardax IV interconnections share a common connector such that either one
Wiegand or two CardaxIV readers can be connected to each port. The following are examples
of possible combinations over the four groups:
•
4 x Wiegand readers only
•
2 x Cardax IV + 3 x Wiegand readers
•
8 x Cardax IV readers only
