Installation Considerations
1. There are distance limitations for Wiegand and RS-485 communications using GV-
AS4111 / 8111. Please note:
•Wiegand interface: 100 meters (328.1 feet)
Recommended Wiegand cable: Wiegand cable (a twisted pair of 24 AWG wires)
•RS-485 interface: 600 meters (1968.50 feet)
Recommended RS-485 cable: standard 485 cable (a twisted pair of 24 AWG wires)
Note:
1. For RS-485 connection between GV-AS Controllers and readers, use additional power
for the readers when the distance ranges from 30.48 meters ~ 600 meters (100 ft ~
1968.50 ft). There is no need to use additional power when the distance is within
30.48 meters (100 ft).
2. Recommended power supply:
Manufacturer Model Output rating
Powertron PA1015-2I 12V, 1.25A, 15W Max
3. The location and wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
2. GV-ASManager software is used to manage GV-AS Controllers. There is a limit for the
number of controllers connected to GV-ASManager based on communication modes.
•Through network connection, up to 1000 GV-AS Controllers can connect to GV-
ASManager.
Note:
1. For GV-AS4111 / 8111, it is highly recommended to replace the button cell battery
included on the circuit board annually.
2. All control units shall be mounted in a protected area.

Definition
Tampering Alarm To enable tampering alarm, install the sensor separately. The
triggering conditions depend on the type of sensor installed.
The GV-AS Controller also provides output relays for activating and
deactivating electric lock, siren and emergency door release when
tampering is detected by the sensors.

2 Installation
Note: A knockout shall be provided with a surrounding surface that can seat a conduit
bushing as intended. The knockout shall be located so that installation of a bushing at any
knockout likely to be used during installation will not result in spacings between uninsulated
live parts and the bushing of less than those indicated in spacings.
2.1 Connecting Card Readers
GV-AS4111 / 8111 supports two types of card reader interfaces:
•Wiegand:Compatible with any Wiegand card readers of 26 to 64 bits.
•RS-485: Only compatible with all GV-Readers.
2.1.1Wiegand Readers
GV-AS4111 / 8111 provides 8 Wiegand inputs (Wiegand A to Wiegand H). Connect up to 8
Wiegand readers ranging from 26 to 64 bits to the Wiegand interfaces. Please consult the
documentation of your Wiegand reader for wiring.

2.1.2RS-485 Readers
For long-distance connection and non-Wiegand card readers, you can connect RS-485
connection with any GV-Readers. Using a single RS-485 cable, up to 8 readers can be
connected together with to the RS-485 A+ / A- interface. For GV-AS8111, another 8 readers
can be connected to the RS-485 B+ / B- interface, for a total of 16 RS-485 readers.
When multiple readers are connected together, an extra power supply to each unit is
required. Use 12V power output and GND on the power terminal or the Wiegand connectors
to power on each unit.
Connect each reader to the
power terminal or Wiegand
connectors for power supply

Note:
1. Each set of 12V power output and GND can provide power for up to 2 readers. The 3
sets on the power terminal can support up to 6 readers. If you wish to connect more
readers and the Wiegand interfaces are already occupied, you can connect the
readers to external power source.
2. By default, a jumper cap is installed on the RS485_A Terminal Resister (J37) to
ensure stability when the RS-485 connection between GV-AS4111 / 8111 and the
reader is 600 meters.
3. Although up to 8 RS-485 readers can be connected, GV-AS4111 only supports control
of up to 4 doors.

2.2 Connecting Input Devices
Up to 16 input devices can be connected to GV-AS4111 / 8111. Connect the input wires to
IN1~16 and connect GND wires to GND. Multiple GND wires can be connected to the same
GND pin.
All inputs are dry contact that can be configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed
(NC) on the Web interface. You can change the input status through the Controller’s Web
interface.

2.3 Connecting Output Devices
Up to 24 output devices can be connected to GV-AS4111 / 8111. Check if your output
device meets the following absolute maximum ratings before connecting it to output terminal
block.
Outputs Outputs 1-16 Outputs 17-24
Breakdown Voltage 30V DC 30V DC
Continuous Load Current 3A 1A
Note: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to GV-
AS4111 / 8111 circuit board may occur. Continuous operation at the absolute rating
level may affect GV-AS4111 / 8111’s stability.
To connect an output device:
Connect the (+) point on the output device to COM on GV-AS4111 / 8111, connect the two (-)
points of the output device and the power supply together, and connect the (+) point on the
power supply to the NO or NC of GV-AS4111 / 8111 based on the state of the output device.
There are two ways to supply power to the output device:
Use the power outputs on the GV-AS Controller: The total power consumption of the
output devices and readers connected to GV-AS Controller must be under 3.5A for GV-
AS4111 or 5A for GV-AS8111. The output device must be a 12V device.
Connect an external power supply: Connect an external power supply if the total
power consumption exceeds 3.5A / 5A or if the output device requires higher current.

2.6 Connecting the PC
Connecting GV-AS4111 / 8111 to a computer allows you to access its Web interface and
connect it to GV-ASManager if the computer is installed with GV-ASManager. The computer
running GV-ASManager software can be used to monitor the access information and alarm
messages from GV-AS4111 / 8111. If connection with GV-ASManager is interrupted, GV-
AS4111 / 8111 kit stores this information on the supplied micro SD card. The data stored will
be sent to GV-ASManager when connection resumes.
