Note
: Steps 1-4 apply only to cabinets containing both a Mini-ITX
Network Controller and a Network Node blade. Expansion Node
cabinets simply require that you remove power before connecting
any input.
5.
Be sure that you are grounded, and then pull the wiring through a knockout
in the cabinet.
Wire specification
: Twisted, shielded 22 AWG Belden #9462 or equivalent.
Maximum distance: 2000 feet (610 meters).
6.
Connect the input wires to the 2-pin input connector provided.
7.
Be sure there is no power to the system
.
8.
Plug the connector into an input position on an access control blade or input
blade. These connectors are polarized and can only be inserted one way.
9.
If you are connecting previously wired or previously installed inputs,
determine the input supervision type: normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC); zero, one, or two resistors; or single resistors in parallel or series.
You will need this information for the software setup of the input. See the
section,
“
Input Supervision Types” on page 16.
Note
: The system supports the use of 1k Ohm resistors only.
10.
If you are installing the input device, refer to the input device manual to
determine if the device circuit is normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC).
11.
Select the input supervision type you want, then install the supervision
resistor(s) at the end of the input line.
Connecting Inputs
CAUTION
: Make sure all power is off before connecting inputs to blades.
Inputs can be connected either to an access control blade or to an input blade.
Access control blades have four male, 2-pin input connectors mounted on the
blade as shown in Figure 9.
