This Freedom device is certified as follows:
Electrical: UL294 and UL294B
Power over Ethernet: IEEE 802af
EMI Radiation: FCC Part 15 Class B
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Freedom Bridges should only be installed in
dry
,
non-condensing
environments. The ambient temperature of the environment should
range between
-40°C
and
50°C
.
When mounting the Freedom Bridge to a surface, ensure that the mounting surface is a
non-conductive
. Causing any short-circuits on
the Freedom Bridge may cause it to malfunction.
DC power, reader, input contact, and output device wires should be between 16-28 AWG. They should also be stripped 5.5mm to
sufficiently fit the terminal blocks and ensure that they do not come in contact with each other.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
For each of the following steps, be sure to use reference on the back for additional details:
1.
Connect a
Wiegand Reader
to the
Wiegand Reader Input
on the Freedom Bridge.
a.
If the reader has a
shield wire
, connect the shield wire to the
0v
terminal on the
Wiegand Reader Input
. If an extension
cable is used between the reader and the Freedom Bridge, connect the reader’s shield wire to the cable’s shield, then connect
the cable’s shield to the
0v
terminal on the
Wiegand Reader Input
.
b.
Any unused wires on the reader must be evenly snipped and have their tips insulated using electrical tape or equivalent. The
shield wire on the reader must also be completely insulated.
2.
If you have any
supervised input contacts
, wire them to the
Digital Contact Inputs
using Method 1 or Method 2.
3.
If you have any
non-supervised input contacts
, wire them to the
Digital Contact Inputs.
4.
If you have a
relay output contact
, wire it to the
Relay Output
.
5.
Supply power to the Freedom Bridge using either or both of the following methods:
a.
A
2.25 – 5.25 W Power over Ethernet (PoE)
port on an Ethernet switch connected to the Freedom Bridge using a Cat5e or
Cat6 cable.
b.
10 – 16 Vdc & 350 mA
(300 mA external & 50 mA internal)
DC power
connected directly to the
TB1
terminal on the
Freedom Bridge.
6.
If you are
not
using
PoE
to power your Freedom Bridge, connect a Cat5e or Cat6 cable from any port on an Ethernet switch to the RJ-
45 connector on the Freedom Bridge.
Note:
Ethernet only supports a
maximum cable length
of
100 m
. Greater lengths can be achieved by adding switches or repeaters
every 100m.
7.
To configure and add the Freedom Bridge to a MESH/Freedom Server, refer to the MESH/Freedom Version 8 Software Guide.
A
flashing green “
Ready” LED light on the Freedom Bridge circuit board indicates that the bridge is attempting to connect to the server.
A
solid green “
Ready” LED light indicates that the Freedom Bridge has established a connection to the server and is ready to use.
