Continental Access SUPERTERM CIC1800, Installation And Service Manual, Page: 10 / 92

CONFIGURATION
Superterm CIC1800 / CICP1400UL 10
CONFIGURATION
Standard Version
Capacities
The standard version Superterm provides access
control functions for up to eight doors and eight
card readers. 5V or 12V terminals on the reader
connectors (DR1-DR8) normally power badge
readers.
The DI/DO board adds 16 accessory relay outputs
to the access control relay outputs provided on the
main board, and 8 unsupervised inputs using plain
contacts. The DI/DO board is rated 12V at
380mA, and is normally powered from the
Auxiliary Power (12V) terminals on the lower right
of the PCB.
Each of the 24 alarm inputs on the main board may
be configured as supervised alarms (requiring
termination resistors), or standard alarms (requiring
plain electrical contacts). Each Supervised Alarm
Board added to the Superterm increases the
number of supervised alarm inputs by 16. Three
Supervised Alarm Boards may be added to the
standard Superterm unit. The Supervised Alarm
Board is rated 12V at 50mA, and is normally
powered from the Auxiliary Power (12V) terminals
on the lower-right of the PCB.
To assure backup power lasts the expected four
hours and that the panel will operate correctly
under mains “brownout” conditions, the accessory
load must not exceed 800mA
total from the 12 volt
and 5 volt power outputs.
EXAMPLE: If one DI/DO Board and two
Supervised Alarm Boards are installed, the drain
will be 480mA for these devices. Badge readers
connected to the +5 volt terminals must draw
320mA or less (800mA – 480mA). Eight badge
readers rated 35mA each would add a load of
280mA, bringing the total load to 760mA, and thus
meeting the load rating (1 x 380) + (2 x 50) + (8 x
35) = 760 mA.
EXAMPLE: If three Supervised Alarm Boards are
installed, the drain will be 150mA for these
devices. Seven standard badge readers rated 35mA
at 12 volts may added, with one long-range reader
rated 100mA at 12 volts, for a net 12 volt drain of
(3 x 50) + (7 x 35) + (1 x 200) = 495mA.
EXAMPLE: Six Wiegand readers rated 35mA are
powered from the 5V Pin on the DRx terminals.
The 5V drain is acceptable (6 x 35 = 210mA).
Two passive-infrared (PIR) sensors rated 50mA at
12V provide the request-to-exit signal in
lobby/reception areas. Two long-range proximity
readers rated 200mA at 12V are used in the
parking areas. The net drain is (6 x 35) + (2 x 50)
+ (2 x 200) = 710mA (acceptable). The 12V drain
is (2 x 50) + (2 x 200) = 500mA (acceptable).
All 12V accessories receive power from the
backup battery when the equipment is operating
during a power failure. Battery-backed power
supplies carrying UL294 or UL603 markings must
power accessory devices that are not powered
directly from the panel.
NOTE: Adding more than 1 expansion board
prevents the use of software virtual inputs.
Expanded Version
The expansion power option is bundled with a
larger backup battery allowing the unit to meet the
standby power requirements of UL294 when two
DI/DO boards are installed with all relays activated
at a 100% duty cycle.
Memory Configurations
The basic memory configuration provides
resources for downloadable firmware, as well as
for the cardholder database and a transaction
buffer. The nominal 256K memory expansion
provides 256K for the card database as well as
expanded firmware and transaction buffer space.
The 2MB Expansion Board allows the Superterm
to meet the requirements of managing large
cardholder populations.
