Overview

1.1 LP1502 intelligent controller with two reader interfaces
The LP1502 intelligent controller provides decision making, event reporting, and database storage for the
HIDMercury hardware platform. Two reader interfaces provide control for two physical barriers.
Host communication is via the on-board 10-BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet port, or the Micro USB port (2.0)
with an optional Micro USB to Ethernet adapter.
Each reader port can accommodate a reader that uses TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F (standard or
supervised), or 2-wire RS-485 device signaling (OSDP reader for example), and also provides tri-state LED
control and buzzer control (one wire LED mode only).
Four Form-C relay outputs can be used for door strike control or alarm signaling.
Eight inputs are provided that can be used for monitoring the door contacts, exit push buttons, and alarm
contacts. Input circuits can be configured as unsupervised or supervised.
The LP1502 requires 12 to 24 V DC for power.

2.4 Bulk erase configuration memory
The bulk erase function can be used for the following:
nErase all configuration and cardholder database (sanitize board, less third party applications).
nUpdate OEM default parameters after OEM code has been changed.
nRecover from database corruption causing the LP1502 board to continuously reboot.
Note: If clearing the memory does not correct the initialization problem, contact Tech Support
([email protected]).
2.4.1 Bulk erase steps
1. Set S1 DIP switches 1 and 2 to ON, and 3 and 4 to OFF.
2. Apply power to the LP1502 board. LED 1 is on for about 15 seconds while LP1502 boots up.
3. Change DIP switches 1 or 2 to OFF Within 10 seconds after LEDs 1 and 2, and LEDs 3 and 4 start flashing
alternately at a rate of 0.5 seconds. If these switches are not changed, the LP1502 board will power up
using the OEM default communication parameters.
4. LED 2 will flash indicating that the configuration memory is being erased. Full memory erase takes up to
60 seconds.
5. When complete, only LEDs 1 and 4 will flash for about three seconds.
6. The LP1502 board will complete its initialization within two seconds after LEDs 1 and 4 stop flashing.
Caution: Do not remove power during the bulk erase process.

Installation and Specifications

2.5 Input power, cabinet tamper and UPS fault input wiring
The LP1502 requires 12 to 24 V DC power. Locate power source as close to the unit as possible.
Connect power with minimum of 18 AWG wire. Connect the GND signal to earth ground in ONE
LOCATION within the system! Multiple earth ground connections may cause ground loop problems and is
not advised.
Observe POLARITY on 12 to 24 V DC input!
There are two dedicated inputs for cabinet tamper and UPS fault monitoring. Normal (safe) condition is a
closed contact. If these inputs are not used, install a jumper wire.
2.6 Communication wiring
The LP1502 controller communicates with the host via the on-board Ethernet 10-BaseT/100Base-TX port,
and/or the USB port (2.0) with an optional USB to Ethernet adapter.
The serial I/O device communication port (TB3) is a 2-wire RS-485 interface which can be used to connect
additional I/O panels. The interface allows multi-drop communication on a single bus of up to 4,000 feet
(1,219 m). Use 1-twisted pair with drain wire and shield, 120Ω impedance, 24 AWG, 4,000 feet. (1,219 m)
maximum for communication.
Caution: Install the termination jumper ONLY on the panel at each end of the RS-485 bus. Failure to do so will
compromise the proper operation of the communication channel.

2.7 Reader wiring
Each reader port supports a reader with TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F (standard or supervised) or 2-wire
RS-485 signaling (OSDP reader for example). Power to the readers is selectable: 12 V DC (VIN must be
greater than 20 V DC), or power is passed-through (PASS) from the input voltage of the LP1502 (TB1-VIN),
300 mA maximum per reader port. Readers that require different voltage or have high current requirements
must be powered separately. Refer to the reader manufacture specifications for cabling requirements. In the
2-wire LED mode the buzzer output is used to drive the second LED. Reader port configuration is set via the
host software.
To fully utilize each reader port:
nTTL signaling requires a 6-conductor cable (18 AWG).
nF/2F signaling requires a 4-conductor cable.
nRS-485 signaling requires two 2-conductor cables. Use one cable for power (18 AWG) and one cable for
communication (24 AWG, with drain wire and shield).
Note: For OSDP cable lengths greater than 200 ft (61 m) or EMF interference, install 120Ω +/- 2Ω resistor
across RS-485 termination ends.
Note: Data 0 and Data 1 wires for Wiegand may be reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable may
not meet RS-485 twisted pair recommendations. The reuse of cable works best on shorter cable
lengths at lower data rates.

2.8 Input circuit wiring
There are eight inputs that are typically used to monitor door position, request to exit, or alarm contacts.
Input circuits can be configured as unsupervised or supervised. When unsupervised, reporting consists of
only the open or closed states. When configured as supervised, the input circuit will report not only open and
closed, but also open circuit, shorted, grounded*, and foreign voltage*. A supervised input circuit requires
two resistors be added to the circuit to facilitate proper reporting. The standard supervised circuit requires
1kΩ, 1% resistors and should be located as close to the sensor as possible. Custom end of line (EOL)
resistances may be configured via the host software.
*Grounded and foreign voltage states are not a requirement of UL 294 and therefore not verified by UL
The input circuit wiring configurations shown are supported but may not be typical:

2.9 Relay circuit wiring
Four relays with Form-C contacts (dry) are provided for controlling door lock mechanisms or alarm signaling.
Each relay has a Common pole (C), a Normally Open pole (NO) and a Normally Closed pole (NC). When
controlling the delivery of power to the door strike, the Normally Open and Common poles are typically used.
When momentarily removing power to unlock the door, as with a mag lock, the Normally Closed and
Common poles are typically used. Check with local building codes for proper egress door installation.
Door lock mechanisms can generate feedback to the relay circuit that can cause damage and premature
failure of the relay and affect the operation of the LP1502. It is recommended that a diode is used to protect
the relay. Wire should be of sufficient gauge to avoid voltage loss.

2.10 Memory and real time clock backup battery
The static RAM and the real time clock are backed up by a lithium battery when input power is removed. This
battery should be replaced annually. If data in the static RAM is determined to be corrupt after power up, all
data, including flash memory, is considered invalid and is erased. All configuration data must be re-
downloaded.
During installation and while the unit is not powered, change the jumper position (J19) from OFF to ON to
enable the battery backup.
Battery type: BR2330 or CR2330.

2.11.1 Power-up
All LEDs are OFF.
2.11.2 Initialization
After power is applied or reset switch pushed, LED 1 is ON for about 15 seconds, then LEDs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, R1, R2,
IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6, IN7 and IN8 are flashed once at the beginning of initialization. LEDs 3 and 4 is
turned ON for approximately 1 second after the hardware initialization has completed, then the application
code is initialized. The amount of time the application takes to initialize depends on the size of the database,
about 1 second without a card database. Each 10,000 cards will add about 2 seconds to the application
initialization. When LEDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 flash at the same time, data is being read from or written to flash
memory, do not cycle power when in this state. If the sequence stops or repeats, perform the bulk erase
procedure, see Bulk erase configuration memory.

2.12 IT security
Ensure that the LP1502 is installed securely. Create user accounts to the web configuration page using secure
passwords.
Ensure all DIP switches are to be in the OFF position for the normal operating mode.
The LP1502 is shipped from the factory with a default login account, which is enabled when DIP 1 is moved
from OFF to ON (See DIP switches). The default login user name (admin) and password (password) will be
available for five minutes once the DIP switch is toggled. It is therefore important that at least one user
account is defined, and the DIP switches are set to OFF before the LP1502 is commissioned.
Configuring the LP1502 with an IP address that is accessible from the public is not recommended.
The following options are available for enhanced network security:
nDisable SNMP.
nZeroconf discovery.
nThe web configuration module.
nEnable data encryption over the host communication port.
