Introduction
The Synergis IX Web Enabled DIN Rail Controller is the central processing unit of the Genetec Synergis IX
System. It communicates with all system modules, stores all configuration and transaction information,
processes all system communication, and reports alarms and system activity to a monitoring station or remote
computer.
Flexible module network architecture allows large numbers of modules to be connected to the RS-485 Module
Network. Up to 250 modules can be connected to the Synergis System in any combination to the network up
to a distance of 900M (3000ft). Communication beyond this distance requires the use of a RS-485 Network
Extender
The current features of the Controller include:
 Internal industry-standard 10/100 Ethernet
 32 Bit advanced RISC processor with 2Gb total memory
 8 high security monitored inputs
 NIST Certified AES 128, 192 and 256 Bit Encryption

Grounding Requirements
An effectively grounded product is one that is intentionally connected to earth ground through a ground
connection or connections of sufficiently low impedance and having sufficient current-carrying capacity to
prevent elevated voltages which may result in undue hazard to connected equipment or to persons.
Grounding of the Synergis system is done for three basic reasons:
1. Safety
2. Component protection
3. Noise reduction
Safety Grounding
The object of safety grounding is to ensure that all metalwork is at the same ground (or earth) potential.
Impedance between the Synergis system and the building scheme ground must conform to the requirements
of national and local industrial safety regulations or electrical codes. These will vary based on country, type of
distribution system, and other factors. The integrity of all ground connections should be checked periodically.
General safety dictates that all metal parts are connected to earth with separate copper wire or wires of the
appropriate gauge.
Earth Ground Connection
The DIN Rail enclosure and the DIN Rail modules must be grounded to a suitable single-point earth ground
connection in the installation. A minimum 14AWG solid copper wire (or thicker, in accordance to local
authorities) shall be used from the Synergis system's earth connection points.
The DIN Rail enclosure includes an earth ground single-point link connection via the metallic enclosure. This
single-point link is the Synergis system's earth ground. All modules that have earth ground connections and
that are installed in the same enclosure shall be connected to this single point. A single-point earth ground
connection avoids the creation of ground loops in the system and provides a single reference point to earth
ground.

Mounting
The Controller is designed to mount on standard DIN Rail either in dedicated DIN cabinets or generic DIN Rail
mounting strip.
When installing the Controller ensure that there is adequate clearance around all sides of the device and that
air flow to the vents of the unit is not restricted. It is recommended to install the Controller in a location that will
facilitate easy access for wiring. It is also recommended that the Controller is installed in electrical rooms,
communication equipment rooms, closets or in an accessible area of the ceiling.
1. Hook the lower tabs under the bottom edge of the DIN Rail.
2. Push the Controller against the DIN Rail mount until the upper tab clips over the upper rail.
Removal
The Controller can be removed from the DIN Rail mount using the following steps:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the tab at the top of the Controller.
2. Lever the tab up and rotate the unit off the DIN Rail mount.

Connections
Power Requirements
Power is supplied to the Controller by a 12V DC power supply connected to the N+ and N- terminals. The
Controller does not contain internal regulation or isolation and any clean 12V DC supply is suitable for this
purpose. In a small installation this same power supply can be used to supply the module network as well,
provided the maximum load of the power supply is not exceeded.
Warning: Termination of wiring to the Controller while power is applied or the battery is connected
may cause serious damage to the unit and will VOID ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES.
Power the unit only after all wiring, configuration and jumper settings are completed.
A battery backup must be connected to the module network to provide a monitored supply. The battery plays
an important role in power conditioning and provides a continuous source of power in the event of a power
outage.

To comply with EN 50131-1, a battery connected to a system must be monitored. If more capacity is
required, a single, larger battery must be used. Multiple batteries may be connected provided each
battery is separately monitored.
