1. Introduction
This document contains a description and instructions for installing and operating your Castle
controller.
The Castle controller is designed for operating in Castle access control system (ACS).
Each controller can control a turnstile, electromechanical swing gate, sliding gate, barrier or two
doors, depending on the settings.
Each controller immediately responds to an access request (reading a card,
pressing a button, etc.).
This property does not depend on the number of controllers in the system,
communication quality, number of personnel, and link range.
Regardless of whether connection to the system server is established, the controller itself makes a
decision on granting or denying access based on database keys and access conditions, which are
stored in the controller's non-volatile memory.
All registered events are stored in the controller's non-volatile memory. Date and time of the event
are registered according to embedded real-time clock readings. If you have a connection to the
server, events are automatically sent to the ACS server.
This ensures maximum system reliability, controllers' independence from the server, and the speed,
with which the controller responds to events.
The Castle controller is certified for compliance with the following standards:
●GOST R 51241-2008. Access control systems and facilities.
●GOST R 50009-2000. Electromagneticcompatibility of technical equipment. Security
alarmhardware.
●GOST R 51317.6.1-99 (IEC 61000-6-1-97). Electromagnetic compatibility of technical
equipment. Electromagnetic immunity of technical equipment used in residential,
commercial and industrial areas with low power consumption.
●GOST R 51317.6.3-99 (CISPR/IEC 61000-6-3-96). Electromagnetic compatibility of
technical equipment. Emission from technical equipment used in residential, commercial
and industrial areas with low power consumption.
The certificate of conformity ROSS.RU.ME63.B03297.
The manufacturer is responsible for the accuracy of the documents and is obliged to provide an
updated edition of this documentation ifsignificant modifications in the product design will occur.
The manufacturer does not guarantee the performance of the product if
installation and operation requirements described herein are not met.

6. Controller installation. Overview
You should carefully read this instruction and technical description before installation.
To install the controller, pre-read the section of this manual that corresponds to the desired
configuration (Door, Turnstile, or Gate). Choose a placement of controllers, readers, actuators, and
sensors.
Mark the mounting location. Perform laying and fastening of all cables. Check the continuity and
short circuits in all lines. Mount racks of turnstiles, gates, locks, sensors, etc. according to the
passport instructions of the respectiveproducts.
When choosing a placement of controllers and cabling, you should be guided by the following
rules:
1. We do not recommend installing the controller at a distance of less than 1 m from
power generators, magnetic starters, electric motors, AC relays, thyristor dimmers and
other powerful sources of electrical noise.
2. When laying, all signal and low-voltage cables must be placed at least 50 cm away
from AC power cables, as well as cables controlling powerful motors, pumps,
actuators, etc.
3. The intersection of all signal cables with power cables is only permitted at a correct
angle.
4. Any extension of signal cables must be made only by soldering. Power cords
extension may be made using terminals.
Allthe cables included in the controller enclosure must be securely fastened.
Specific type of cable depends on the mounting features internal wiring, external or harness
wiring, etc. Some recommendations on the cable selection can be found in Sec. 16Appendix 4.
Summary for cable selection of this document.
It is recommended to connect and disconnect any equipment with the controller turned off.
Controller mounting position is determined by the convenience of further maintenance.
6.1 Configuring the controller
The controller versatility provides support for a widerange of actuators from different
manufacturers.
To set up the basic controller parameters, use toggles located on its board. This type of
customization allows you to configure the controller during installation and to check its
functioning without using a computer.
The controller board has one or two dip-units (depending on the communication interface) each
with 8toggles (engines). Units are marked as CONF1 and CONF2, toggles in units are numbered
from 1to 8.
CONF1 dip-unit is designed for selecting the configuration of the controller and for setting its
parameters.

Toggles rmine the basic configuration: Doors, Turnstiles, Gates, or Registration
Board.Toggles -8 determine its optional parameters.
CONF2 dip-unit is designed for setting the RS485-controller network address (see 6.4.4 Setting
RS485 network address).
All the settings specified by dip-toggles come into effect at the If you change
toggle positions on the working controller, it will not take effect until the controller is rebooted.
To fine-tune the controller for a specific turnstile, lock, or sensor, you should carefully read this
instruction sections dedicated to a particular device and review examples of connecting to the
equipment.
6.2 Controller power supply
The controller is powered by DC voltage 9.9 17.8V, the max current consumption of the controller
is 160mA.
●Ifthe only controller is powered by a PSU, another PSU must be installed in any
convenient location between the nearest supply panel and the controller. This PSU must
provide the output DC voltage of 12V and a current of 200mA.
●If a single PSU powers thecontroller and other devices, such as readers, locks and other
peripherals, it is necessary to provide load capacity ofa PSU sufficient to supply all
connected devices with a current reserve of about 20%. Power supply reserve is required
for the correct operation of the controller in abnormal situations, such as short circuit in
communication links, power supply chain, etc.
In case of emergency, integrated controller protection circuits cut off power supply of overloaded
or closed line, nevertheless the current consumption from the power supply can be increased for a
short time during protection activation.
E.g., short-circuiting reader power line causes the 500mA fuse to trip. At the same time, the current
consumption can briefly rise to 1A.
Among UPS (uninterruptable power supply units) array, some models can be suggested, e.g. "BBP",
"Skat", "BRP",and"RIP".
Do not use ACCORDTEC PSU with Matrix-II EH readers. This bundle might work in
the most arbitrary manner,ranging from complete failure to delays or omissions of
certain cards. Diagnosis is simple: connect thebattery instead of BBP-20 UPS to
start everything working immediately.
The controller immediately responds to an access request (reading a card, pressing
a button, etc.). This property does not depend on the number of controllers in the
system, communication quality, number of personnel, and link range.
After PSU installation, a ~220V single-phase power should be connected to it.

Pic 3.Connecting power supply to the controller
For connection, you can use any cable of suitable cross-section (not less than 0.75 mm²), e.g. flat
vinyl-sheath vinyl insulated cord, universal flat flexible cable, universal flat cable, vinyl-sheath
connecting wire, or flexible vinyl-sheath vinyl insulated power cable (VV-F, for external wiring).
The DCD line is an auxiliary input used by the controller to diagnose the state of the power supply
voltage. The DCD input is controlledby closing it to negativeside of power supply (through OC or
"Dry contact" output) or by a low logic level voltage (0...0.5V). When operating this input by logic
levels, the maximum voltage on it should not exceed 3.3V.
The logic zero voltage on this input corresponds to PSU functioning from the mains.
E.g., some models of "SCAT" and "RIP" UPS have output corresponding to the above indicated
requirements. If the DCD line is not used, DCD jumper must be set on the controller board (set by
default).
Note:
1. When using the BBP-20 UPS, it is recommended to install an additional battery
protection device into it (e.g. UZA-12 or BKA).
2. When using PSU in metal casing, it is necessary to connect a protective ground line to
it.
3. If actuators have floorings accumulating static electricity, it is recommended to
ground actuators themselves.
6.3 Connecting readers and contactors. Overview
The controller can be connected to up to four readers supporting a standard output interface
Wiegand-26, Wiegand-34 or Touch memory.
Definition of reader interface types is done automatically at the time of supplying a voltage to the
controller.
Each reader is connectedto an identical terminal unit, which is marked on theboard as PORT1,
PORT2, PORT3, and PORT4.
The purpose and the number of connected readers and contactors are described in this
document sections on specific configurations of equipment serviced by the controller.
6.3.1 General rules for connecting contactless card readers
1. Readers are located in places that are convenient for presenting access cards.
Recommended mounting height, defined ergonomically, is 1.1 to 1.4 meters from the
floor level.

2. Readers are connected to the controller by 22AWG or 24AWG cable (e.g. 8x0.5 vinyl-
sheath cable for transmission systems). "Twisted pair" cable is not recommendedfor
making connection.
3. Do not place reader in areas with sources of wide spectrum electromagnetic noise,
e.g. motors, generators, DC/AC converters, uninterruptible power supplies, AC relays,
lighting controls, monitors, etc.
4. Place the cable of the reader at a distance of not less than 0.5 m from other cables,
including AC power cables, computer cables, telephone cables or electromechanical
lock power cords.
5. To eliminate the mutual influence, the distance between two readers of standard read
range (up to 15 cm) should be at least 0.5 m. This distance is proportionally increased
for readers with enhanced range andis reduced for readers with shorter range.
6. The maximum current consumption of each reader must not exceed 200mA, the
built-in controller protection will be activated in case of excessive current and it will
switch off this reader power supply. When connecting readers that consume current
of more than 200mA,a positive side
directly to the power supply terminals.
Important notes on reader use
1. Many readers support multiple output interface standards. To switch the reader to
Wiegand mode, you should refer to the respective documentation. As a rule,
switching is made by closing reader lines between each other or by means of adip-
toggle on the reader board.
2. When using readers with standard Wiegand interface, it is possible to make a parallel
connection of several readers to a single controller output. This method can be used
for enhanced access control, when, e.g., two readers biometric and keypad-
equipped are connected at the Entrance side. However, the efficiency of this
method depends on the reader circuit design and is not guaranteed in general.
