Cable extensions
Readers can be extended using Belden CR9540 10-core overall screened cable to a maximum of 100 metres.
Wiring
IMPORTANT: This reader cannot
be connected in parallel with
other readers and keypads.
The reader port module is designed to convert the
standard reader ports on Switch2 and Net2 controllers
to accept one or two RJ45 connections. Pull off the
screw terminal block from the reader port and simply
replace it with this module.
This module can be used to provide a
connection point for the reader RJ45 plug.
The terminals on the module are then wired
colour for colour to the controller.
Alternatively, the reader can be wired
directly into the screw terminals of the
control unit by first cutting off the RJ45 plug
and stripping back the wires in the cable.
Reader port module (325-030)
This module may be purchased separately to speed up
the installation and replacement of readers.
Connection modules
WHITE labelled control units provide 5V at the Red terminal. The Red power wire
for the reader should therefore be directly connected to the 12V supply terminal.
