Installation Procedure

 

 
Mounting the converter: 

The iKey interface should be mounted in a convenient 
location. Removing the base of the box will release the circuit 
board which can be terminated. To mount the box, make all 
connections first then replace the base of the box and mount 
the box using the two ‘bulkhead’ mounting tabs on the top and 
bottom of the box. 
 

Connecting the Silicon Key reader: 

The reader has four wires. Two are for the touch probe, and 
connect to the interface (black wire = GND, white wire = 
IN1). The other two wires are for the LED. The red wire 
connects to +5V and the blue wire connects to IN2. 
 

Connecting to the host panel: 

The output from the interface is either Wiegand (LK5 link 
on), clock and data (LK5 link off) or RS232 (JP3 link on). 
Ensure that the security panel and the converter have a 
common reference by connecting GND on the converter to 0V 
on the panel. Connect the con5V to the reader power 
out +5V on the panel. 
 
For a wiegand format output, IN3 = DATA0 and IN4 = 
DATA1. 
For a clock and data format output, IN3 = CLK and IN4 = 
DATA. 
For an RS232 format output, IN4 = TX 
Many security panels or hosts also have the ability to drive a 
LED on the reader. Connect the LED output on the panel to 
IN2 on the controller (where the LED wire from the reader 
terminates). 
 

Configuring the interface: 

a)

 

Select the data format to be transmitted by the interface 
by setting LK5 to ON for wiegand format, OFF for clock-
and-data format or JP3 ON for RS232 format. 

b)

 

[Only if not factory-set].

 

The internal reader ID must 

be set by connecting a link at LK1 with JP3 removed

.

 

When there is a link here the red LED on the controller 
should flash quickly. Touching a valid CS Technologies 
iKey to the reader will cause the internal ID to be set to 
match the key, and the interface will beep very quickly 
twice. Now the link can be removed and the reader will 
recognise keys with that same internal ID. 

 

Before powering up the interface board: 

‰

 

Unit installed in dry, secure location 

‰

 

Field wiring installed 

‰

 

Connections to security panel verified 

‰

 

Connections to Silicon Key reader verified 

‰

 

No short to earth on any input or output 

 

After powering up the interface: 

‰

 

Controller beeps three times 

‰

 

LED1 (Power) on 

‰

 

LED2 (Heartbeat) flashing slowly 

‰

 

[Only if not factory-set].  Set the reader ID to match your 
keys by putting a link on LK1 and removing JP3 link. 
LED2 should flash faster, and touching a key will make 
the interface beep twice. Then remove the LK1 link. Only 
keys with that valid reader ID will work at the reader. 

 

Operational check:

 

‰

 

Present a silicon key at the reader. The serial number 
should be transmitted in the format selected by LK5/JP3. 
Verify that a read has occurred on the host panel. 

‰

 

With the LED drive disconnected from the security panel, 
the interface will drive the LED on the silicon key. 
Operation of the reader LED indicates the following 
conditions: 

a)

 

When a key with the same reader ID is presented 
at the reader the reader LED will flash twice. 

b)

 

When a key with a different reader ID is 
presented at the reader the reader LED will flash 
3 times 

c)

 

When a key which is not in any recognised 
format is presented at the reader the reader LED 
will flash once. 

‰

 

The system will also beep quickly twice for any valid 
read, or once for a key which is not programmed or has 
the wrong internal ID. 

 

Troubleshooting: 

‰

 

Check power connection to controller polarity and 
voltage 

‰

 

Check reader cabling. 

‰

 

Check LK5/JP3 link setting is correct 

‰

 

Check for wiegand that IN3 is connected to the DATA0 
input on the panel, and IN4 is connected to the DATA1 
input on the panel.
