Series RFID Reader Installation Guide - PK3670_T_08_15
The SR RFID remote control unit (RCU) controls access to electric strikes, electric exit devices, electromagnetic locks, and parking gates. Positioning the keycard
over the reader will momentarily switch power to the electrified locking device.
Pre-installation Requirement
Be sure to investigate the switching current and voltages required by the electric access control hardware. The SR RFID RCU is
equipped with a relay that can be configured either “normally open” or “normally closed,” to function properly with the hardware
application. The relay is rated for 5 amps at 250 VAC or 5 amps at 30 VDC. Review your local fire and electrical codes before
installing this product.
Power: (Not Supplied)
A Low voltage power source of 12 to 24 volts with a minimum current of 125 mA AC or DC is required but not included with the
RCU.
*Important*
(DO NOT EXCEED 24 VOLTS)
Mounting Considerations: ?
Reader position (acordance with ADA requirements?)
Controller position (on the locked side of the entry. Convieient location for wiring. Secure location from vandalizsm?)
Wire specification / routing
RCU electrical configuration:
The RCU is equipped with a Dry Contact Relay that can be configured either Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
The relay is rated for five Amps at 250VAC or 5 AMPS at 30VDC. Typically the NO set of contacts are used so that the ECU will
work like the elevator call button to complete the circuit to call the elevator to the specific floor.
*Important*
Review your local Fire, Electrical and Building Codes before installing this product. Be sure to investigate the
switching current and voltages present at the existing elevator buttons and determine if the RCU relay contact rating and
configuration will be adequate.
The installer must be capable and knowledgeable of the electric access control system. There are many variations of electric
access control systems and local codes; for this reason, the RCU must be installed by a qualified installer.
Messenger™ Option
For RCU units equipped with the Messenger transceiver module, the faceplate and electrical enclosure of the SR controller
must be plastic to ensure optimum transmissions of the RF access communications to a nearby Messenger hub (for Messenger
applications, SR RFID RCU faceplates are available in white, ivory, or dark brown plastic.) If the RCU location has not been previ-
ously confirmed for connectivity to the Messenger network, consult the Messenger Site Survey Instructions. In some cases an
additional hub may be required to ensure connectivity in new locations.
Programming
Program the RCU/ECU by using the propertys hand held programmer. Connect the USB probe to the USB port located on the
serial interface board located in the controller box.
