1.7.1.3 DSI Board Specifications (SG 10.2.0)
1)
The DSI board(s) must be running a minimum of v5.0 to integrate with
AD400 &
AD300 readers
.
2)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INTERRUPT POWER to the while DSI boards are flashing!
3)
Each DSI board has two RS-485 Channels per board:
Specifications are listed per 485-channel [and per board]
a)
Jumper wires must be installed
between R+ and T+ terminals and between R- and T- terminals.
b)
Each 485-channel operates independently from the other 485-channel. This gives the installer the advantage
of splitting the types of Schlage readers; or installer can use one section for readers while using the other
section for a completely different purpose (such as General Purpose Relay boards, LCD’s, etc.)
c)
Each RS485-port supports RS-485 two-wire communication using a multi-drop network configuration.
d)
Schlage Readers can be installed in a
mixed-network
or
dedicated network
.
Mixed-Network
:
is when a DSI 485-Channel that has both
AD300 Hard-wired Readers
installed along with
AD400 wireless readers
. Ensure correct addressing of readers/PIMs and setting of HI-LO reader ranges.
See section on addressing readers for mixed networks.
Dedicated-Network
:
when a 485-Channel is dedicated to communicating with only one model of reader.
Thus, the wireless and wired readers are installed on separate 485-channels.
e)
Each RS485-port supports up to 16 Schlage Readers (doors) per 485-channel
[total 32 Readers per DSI board].
f)
Each RS485-port supports up to 16 PIMs per 485-channel
[the number of PIMs needed will be based on how
many PIMs it takes to provide reliable RF coverage].
NOTE:
Schlage specs an
RF signal radius
of “up to 200-feet”; but this distance may be reduced by
interference from physical structures, overlapping PIM RF ranges, or other reasons.
4)
Galaxy continues to support the
older model Schlage PIM-485 OTD readers/PIMs
for upgrades.
See the older
PIM-485 OTD Guide for requirements and installation of that product line
.
