Reader

 - 

The reader is mounted at the door with a 22/5 or 22/6 wire running 

to the door controller. Wire the reader to the controller as shown above. Be 
sure to check the polarity and voltage prior to powering the controller.

DPS (Door Position Sensor)

 

- The DPS is mounted on the door frame with a 

22/2 wire running from the DPS to the 

controller

. Wire the DPS to the 

controller

 as shown above. For reporting double doors, wire the two-door 

position in series and connect to the controller.

AUX Input

 

- A software rule can be programmed to trigger events or

Maglock

 

- When installing a Maglock, it is typical to install a REX (request to 

exit) at the door for free egress. Run an 18/2 wire from the maglock to the 

controller

 and REX as shown.

REX (Request to Exit)

 - The REX is mounted at your desired location with an 

18/5 wire. Wire the REX to the controller and maglock, as shown above. If 
reporting is not needed in the system, simply eliminate the green input wire.

Jumper Block

 

- Use to designated (+) or (-) board voltage out of NO and NC. 

If the jumper is off, the relay is a standard dry contact requiring an input into 
C on the relay.

OR

Diode

 

- The provided diode must be installed when using a strike. Install at 

the strike with the gray stripe on positive and black on negative.

A

NC

 

- Used for maglocks (or strikes in fail-safe configuration). Connect the 

negative (-) of the maglock or strike to NC on the controller.

B

NO

 

- Used for strikes in fail-secure configuration. Connect the negative (-) of 

the strike to NO on the controller.

C

Jumper Block

 

- Use to designate (+) or (-) board voltage out of NO and NC. If 

the jumper is off, the relay is a standard dry contact requiring an input into C 
on the relay.
