Determining which Lock Pawl to use
•As all cabinets vary, we offer a wide range to pawls to suit the particular dimensions of your cabinet.
•There are 2 simple measurements that need to be taken to determine which pawl you will need.
•Please obtain the measurements as show in Figure 1 and Figure 2 and contact our electromechanical lock support
team as show below:

Mounting the Control Unit
•Mount the db ServerRack v2 Zero-U Control Unit
oThe Control Unit can be attached using the Magnetic Strips for Steel Cabinets or VHB Strips for Aluminum
Cabinets.
oAlternatively, the Control Unit can be placed on a cabinet shelf
•It is preferable to mount the Control Unit near the top of the rack, to ease the running of cables, however this isn't
absolutely necessary.

Mounting the Door Interface Box
•If you are installing the db ServerRack Access Control unit to a cabinet that already has a lock installed, remove the
existing lock at this time.
•The "Door Interface Box" provides an interface between the Control Unit and the fingerprint scanner. It also provides
all power and signal connections to the electric lock.
•Install the Door Interface Box as show in Figures 4 thru 9.
Mounting the Door Interface Box - Step 1
•Before removing the double-sided high bond tape from the Door Interface Box, find a suitable location on the inside
of the cabinet door to mount Interface Box.
•Ensure that the selected location will not affect the cabinet door from closing correctly.
•Note that for glass paneled cabinet doors with very narrow frames, the only suitable location may be on the glass.
IMPORTANT:
•Ensure that the Interface Box is located close enough to the lock opening in the door, so that the finger-
sensor on the ribbon cable can go through the door and connect into the lock, see Figure 6.
•Once you have found a suitable location where you intend to mount the Door Interface Box, ensure that the door
surface is clean and free from any debris. (Using neat alcohol to clean the surface is highly recommended. Allow
drying time before proceeding.)
•Remove the protective cover from the double-sided high bond tape located along the edge of the Door Interface
Box.

Mounting the Door Interface Box – Step 2
•Attach the Door Interface Box to the inside door surface. Only apply a slight amount of pressure to the high bond
tape until you have ensured that the Door Interface Box will not prevent the cabinet door from closing.
•Once you have ensured that the door will close properly and the finger sensor can attach to the lock, apply more
pressure to the high bond tape. The more pressure applied, the greater the bond.

IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the Interface Box is located
close enough to the lock opening in the
door, so that the finger-sensor on the
ribbon cable can go through the door
andconnectintothelock,seeFigure6.

Mounting the Door Interface Box – Step 3
•Push the finger-sensor assembly through the door lock opening as shown in Figure 6.
•Attach the finger-sensor assembly into the back of the door lock as show in Figure 7. Ensure that the angle of the
finger-sensor assembly and the angle of the door lock are as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 6 Figure 7

Mounting the Door Interface Box - Step 4
•Situate the lock on the outside of the cabinet door, so that the ribbon cable attached to the finger-sensor assembly
is at the top of the locking opening. (See Figure 8)

Mounting the Door Interface Box - Step 5
•Secure the lock to the door using the Top Mounting Bracket and Bottom Mounting Bracket as show in Figure 9. Do
not over-tighten the screws in the Bottom Mounting Bracket as this may jam the lock mechanism.
•Attach the lock wire coming out of the Door Interface Box to the back of the lock as shown in Figure 8. The wire will
only plug in one way.

Mount the Tie Down Pads to the Door and Cabinet
•The Tie Down Pads are used to secure the CAT5 cable that connects the Door Interface Box to the Control Unit.
•Ensure that the door surface is clean and free from any debris. (Using neat alcohol to clean the surface is highly
recommended. Allow drying time before proceeding.)
•Remove the protective cover from each Tie Down Pad and situate as shown in Figure 10.

Route the CAT5 Cable between Door Interface Box and the Control Unit.
•Route the supplied CAT5 cable as show in Figure 11. Secure the CAT5 cable to the Tie Down Pads using the supplied
cable-ties.
•Connect the CAT5 cable to the Door Interface Box
Figure 11

Connect the CAT5 Cable to the Control Unit
•Connect the CAT5 cable to the port labeled "DOOR 1" on the back of the Control Unit as shown in Figure 12.
DO NOT CONNECT THE "DOOR INTERFACE BOX" CABLE TO THE PORT LABELED "NETWORK"
Figure 12

Connect the Control Unit to a Network
•Use the other supplied CAT5 cable to connect the Control Unit to a Network. Connect the CAT5 cable to the port
labeled "NETWORK" on the back of the Control Unit as shown in Figure 13.
DO NOT CONNECT THE "NETWORK" CABLE TO THE PORTS LABELED "DOOR 1" OR "DOOR 2"

Installing the Pawl on the Door Lock
•Page 3 of this document describes how to determine which pawl you will need, depending on the make and model
of cabinet. (For help with the lock, see Southco contact information on pg. 3)
•The pawl is installed as shown in Figure 14. Pay particular attention to the Rotation Limiter. This is installed as shown
depending on whether you have a right on left hand opening door.

Using the Tamper Switch Inputs
•The db ServerRack Access Control unit provides for up to 4 tamper switches. The tamper switches can be connected
to the cabinet side, floor or roof panels. Tamper switches are not included in the kit.
* Tamper switches can be ordered from your db ServerRack Access Control supplier.
DO NOT USE ORDINARY REED SWITCHES AS THESE WILL CAUSE THE PRODUCT TO GO INTO A CONTINUOUS
ALARM CONDITION.
•Pins 1 thru 8 are used for the Tamper Switches, as show in Figures 15a and 15b.
Figure 15a
Figure 15b
•Tamper Switches are connected to any of the following pair of connector pins, 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6 or 7 & 8.
•If any of the Tamper Switches are not being used, that pair of connectors must be connected with one of the supplied
terminating resistors. Please wire resistors as show in figure 15c so as to avoid any or the resistor leads touching.
IF ANY RESISTOR LEADS TOUCH, THIS WILL CREATE AN ALARM CONDITION.
Figure 15c
•To use one of the Tamper Switched follow the example show in Figure 16. The example connects to pins 1 & 2,
additional Tamper connected Switched can be to any of the remaining pairs of pins.

Using the Door Contact Inputs
•The db ServerRack Access Control unit provides Door Contact Inputs for both Door 1 and Door 2. The Door Contacts
should be located on the respective door containing the BioLock attached to either the Door 1 or Door 2 connector.
•Use the supplied Door Contact.
DO NOT USE ORDINARY REED SWITCHES AS THESE WILL CAUSE THE PRODUCT TO GO INTO A CONTINUOUS
ALARM CONDITION.
•Pins 9 thru 12 are used for the Door Contacts, as show in Figures 17a and 17b.
Figure 17a
Figure 17b
•Door Contacts are connected to either of the following pair of connector pins, 9 & 10 or 11 & 12.
•If any of the Door Contacts are not being used, that pair of connectors must be connected with one of the supplied
terminating resistors. Please wire resistors as show in figure 17c so as to avoid any or the resistor leads touching.
IF ANY RESISTOR LEADS TOUCH, THIS WILL CREATE AN ALARM CONDITION.
Figure 17c
•To use one of the Door Contacts follow the example show in Figure 18. The example connects to pins 9 & 10, an
additional Door Contact can be connected to pins 11 & 12.

Using the Alarm Output
•Certain events create an alarm condition. These events are:
~A door/panel with a Tamper Switch Attached was opened.
~A door/panel with a Door Contact Switch was opened without a valid fingerprint identification.
~A door/panel with a Door Contact Switch was opened and left open for longer than the Propped Door
Delay (set via the DAS software).
~A Duress Finger was used to open a cabinet. This will be a silent alarm at the cabinet, but will still trigger the
Alarm Output.
•The Alarm Output provides a method to connect the db ServerRack Access Control unit to a third-party product, to
alert it that an alarm condition has occurred.
•The Alarm Output terminals are shown in Figures 19a and 19b.
Figure 19a
Figure 19b
•12V can be used to provide a 12 Volt supply to an external device.
•NC is the Normally Closed relay contact
•COM is the Common relay contact
•NO is the Normally Open relay contact
•GND can be used in conjunction with 12V to provide a 12 Volt supply to an external device.

•The db ServerRack Zero-U v2 offers a 26-bit Wiegand output, allowing seamless integration into 3rd-party Access
Control System.
•The diagram shows how to connect a Control Unit to a 3rd-party system.
•The Wiegand Output terminals are shown in Figures 20a and 20b.
