Power Input Protection ...............
Over-voltage and over-current protection are
provided on the Main Power Input.
NOTE: EMC emissions only apply when using the main Power Input Port.
NOTE: As an alternative to a battery, power the IXP220 using a 12 V DC
uninterrupted power supply connected using the Battery Input.
NOTE: The Power Output Port provides a nominal 12 to 14 V DC at 1 A continuous
current. When using the 12 V Backup Battery, the output provides up to 3 A
briefly to cater for in rush currents into locks and other equipment. When
using the Controller without the 12 V Backup Battery, then any load that
demands more than 3 A from the Power Output Port can cause the IXP220
to protect against overload. The Controller achieves this by indefinitely
entering Total Shutdown Mode. Once the overload is removed, the IXP220
resumes normal operation after a maximum of 3 seconds.

Figure 1: End of Line (EOL) Sensing Circuit
NOTE: End of Line (EOL) Sensing enables the Controller to raise an alarm when
somebody tampers with the circuit (that is, cutting or shorting the wires)
between Reader 1 or Reader 2 Input (of DOS [1] or DOS [2]) and GROUND
(GND). In other words the Controller distinguishes between tampering on
the circuit, and the door being in an actual ‘Normally Open’ or ‘Normally
Closed’ state. By placing Resistors into the circuit between the Reader 1
or Reader 2 Input (of DOS [1] or DOS [2]) and GROUND (GND), the
Controller’s Digital Input monitors a constant resistance through the circuit.
When the circuit is tampered with, the Resistors are bypassed; the
Controller detects the resistance change raising an alarm.
NOTE: When using the End-of-Line Sensing function, LEDs 6 and 14 will not
indicate the true status of the Input.

General
Remember the following when installing your IXP220 Controller:
Communications Distance
The RS485 communications distance between the IXP220 Controller and the
LAST Controller or Terminal in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 090 yd).
Achieve this using good quality screened twisted 2-pair cable, earthed on one
side.
If using Ethernet, plug the Controller into an Ethernet Switch or Hub (or other
network device); cable runs must conform to Ethernet cabling specifications.
The RS232 communications distance between the Controller and the connected
Host PC MUST NOT exceed 25 m (82 ft). Achieve this by using good quality
screened twisted 4-core cable.
The USB communications distance between the Host PC and the Controller MUST
NOT exceed 5 m (16 ft).

ISC300-0-0-GB-03
November 2009
Page 7
GPRS has no minimum communications distance.
Termination Resistors for RS485 Bus Communications
Long transmission lines or multiple “star” connections, may cause communication
problems. Placing the Termination Resistor Jumper Link (see Figure 4) in the LAST
IXP220 CONTROLLER AT THE END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem
(depending on the bus).
Reader Connections
NOTE: The IXP220 Controller has three Fixed Addresses. One Fixed Address is
reserved for the Controller. The other two Fixed Addresses (Terminal
Addresses) allow connection of either two Antenna Readers or two Wiegand
Readers.
Antenna Reader
The specified cable distance between the IXP220 Controller and its Antenna
Reader ranges between 2 m to 16 m (7 ft to 53 ft). Optimal performance is not
guaranteed outside of this range. Achieve optimal performance using a good
quality shielded multi-strand 3-pair twisted cable. The cable individual conductor
cross-sectional area should not be less than 0.2 mm2(0.0003 in2).
Ensure that your cable specifications are similar to the following:
Conductor Resistance: < 2 ohms.
Capacitance, Core to Earth: < 160 pF/m.
Capacitance, Core to Core: < 100 pF/m.
To avoid mutual interference Install dual Antenna Readers from the SAME
Controller no closer than 150 mm (6 in) apart.
To avoid mutual interference Install dual Antenna Readers from DIFFERENT
Controllers no closer than 500 mm (20 in) apart.
Wiegand Reader
CAUTION: When implementing the 150 m (164 yd) cable distances with Impro
Wiegand Readers use the 12 V power output option.
For maximum, data communications distance, install the Wiegand Readers no
further than 150 m (164 yd) from the Host unit. The cable individual conductor
cross-sectional area should not be less than 0.2 mm2(0.0003 in2).
To avoid mutual interference, install Wiegand Readers no closer than 500 mm
(20 in) apart.
EARTH Connection
Connect the IXP220 Controller to a good EARTH point. Connect the EARTH Lead to
the “ETH” Terminal on the Power Input Port. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical
noise may exist.

This Mode allows you to unlock all Doors (Locations) on a single Controller. That is,
the “Emergency Open” input unlocks all doors in the System.
Where you have 2 Controllers with inter-controller communications, and both
Controllers set to Power Control (Emergency) Mode, the unlock instruction passes from
Controller 1 to Controller 2. That is, all Doors (Locations) connected to these
Controllers unlock.
Power Control (Lockdown) Mode
This Mode allows you to lockdown all Doors (Locations) on a single Controller. That is,
essentially denying Tagholder entry.
Where you have 2 Controllers with inter-controller communications, and both
Controllers set to Power Control (Lockdown) Mode, the lockdown instruction passes
from Controller 1 to Controller 2. That is, all Doors (Locations) connected to these
Controllers enter lockdown.
Alarm Arming Mode
In this Mode, the Controller interfaces with an Alarm Panel to either, arm or disarm, or
trigger the Alarm Panel.
Arming
