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 either Reader 1 Inputs DOS [1] or Reader 2 Inputs DOS [1] and
GROUND (GND). In other words the Controller distinguishes between
tampering on the circuit, and the door being in an actual ‘Normally Open’
state.
By placing Resistors into the circuit between either Reader 1 Inputs DOS [1]
or Reader 2 Inputs DOS [1] 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.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Accessories
CAUTION: The IXP20 Controller needs a standard Ethernet cable to connect to
a PC. We do NOT however supply this cable with the Controller’s
accessories.
Find the following when unpacking the ImproX IXP20 Controller:
Either an ImproX IXP20 Twin Reader Controller with Web Interface (ISC920)
supplied in a Black ABS Plastic housing. The housing consists of a Front Cover
Assembly and a Mounting Plate. The Front Cover and Mounting Plate are held
together with two Combi Screws (M4 x 10 mm) at the bottom of the housing.
There are also two spare Combi Screws (M4 x 10 mm).
Or, an ImproX IXP20 Twin Reader Controller with Touch Screen (ISC921)
supplied in a Black ABS Plastic housing. The housing consists of a Front Cover
Assembly and a Mounting Plate. The Front Cover and Mounting Plate are held
together with two Combi Screws (M4 x 10 mm) at the bottom of the housing.
There are also two spare Combi Screws (M4 x 10 mm).
CAUTION: DO NOT use the Metal-oxide Varistors (25 Vrms, 500 A, 77 V max
clamping) with mains power applications.
Three Metal-Oxide Varistors, 25 Vrms, 500 A, 77 V max clamping.

IXP20 Controller.
An extra Fixed Address Label.
General
Remember the following when installing the IXP20 Controller:
Communications Distance
RS485 Terminal Port
The RS485 communications distance between the ImproX Controller and the LAST
ImproX Terminal in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 090 yd). Achieve this by
using good quality screened, twisted 2-pair cable, with the screen EARTHED at one
end.
Jumper Links
Long transmission lines or multiple “star” connections, may cause communication
problems. Placing a Jumper Link across the jumper (See Figure 3 for position) in the
LAST UNIT AT THE END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem.
Distance between the Controller and its Wiegand or Multi-Discipline
Readers
CAUTION: When implementing the 150 m (164 yd) cable distances with Impro
Wiegand Readers use the 12 V power output option. Note, however,
that the Multi-discipline Readers only connect using the 12 V power
output option.
For maximum, data communications distance, install the Readers no further than
150 m (164 yd) from the Controller. The cable individual conductor cross-sectional
area should not be less than 0.2 mm2(0.0003 in2).
Distance between ImproX Units
You can mount IXP20 Controllers (ISC920) directly next to each other. To avoid
mutual interference, install the Touch Screen IXP20 Controllers (ISC921) at least 500
mm (20 in) apart.
To avoid mutual interference, install the Wiegand Readers or Multi-discipline
Readers at least 500 mm (20 in) apart.
EARTH Connection
Connect the IXP20 Controller to a good EARTH point. Using the RS485 Port, connect
the ETH Lead to the „ETH‟Terminal. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical noise
may exist.
CAUTION: When using the IXP20 Controller with FCC approved accessories,
ensure that the RS485 cable is routed through a separate grommet
to the power cable. Also ensure that you use a CE approved Power
Supply Unit.

Arc Suppression
Snubber devices are recommended for EMF Flyback and Arc Suppression when
driving an inductive load with the Relay, see Figure 2.
Figure 2: EMF Flyback and Arc Suppression
Installing the Real Time Clock (RTC) Backup Battery
CAUTION: Remove the Battery Tab for the Real Time Clock from the Battery
Holder IMMEDIATELY BEFORE powering up the IXP20 Controller.
DO NOT remove the Battery Tab after applying power to the IXP20.
First Time Use
1. Ensure that power is NOT applied to the Controller.
2. Locate the removable Battery Tab.
3. Pull the removable Battery Tab out of the Battery Holder.
4. Immediately apply power to the Controller.
Replacement
NOTE: Because of the delicacy of this procedure, we recommend you contact your
distributor before trying to replace the Battery.
Mounting the IXP20 Controller
CAUTION: Make certain that you mount the Controller on a vibration-free
surface.
NOTE: You can mount the IXP20 Controller onto virtually any surface including
metal.
Select the mounting position of the IXP20 Controller, considering accessibility, routing
of wires and visibility of the Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) and
accessibility of the Keypad.
Secure the enclosure to the mounting surface, using four suitable screws and wall
plugs, nuts and bolts or rivets.

DIP-switch Settings
NOTE: Once the DIP-switch settings are modified reset the IXP20 Controller to
acknowledge the new settings.
Reader 1 Select and Reader 2 Select DIP-switch Settings
Each of the Reader Ports has a 4-way DIP-switch to select the function of that Port.
NOTE: Where you have no Advanced Wiegand Readers (ImproX Multi-discipline
Readers) attached, setting both Reader DIP-switches to the all off position
during an Auto-ID will not return any Fixed Addresses.
NOTE: Because of the way standard Wiegand Readers handle HID Tag codes,
IXP20 Sites using standard Wiegand Readers can only support one of two
options: HID Tags only or any other Tag type (that is Slim Tags, Omega
Tags, Mifare® Standard, Mifare® Ultralite, FeliCa, Desfire, WriTag 128 and
WriTag 2048 depending on the Reader). For HID Tags only, set the DIP-
switch to Wiegand Open Format and the Wiegand Reader to HID Raw
Mode. For any other Tag type, set the DIP-switch to Wiegand 26-bit/44-bit.
For more information refer to Table 1. If you need a combination of HID
Tags and other Tag types, make use of the ImproX Multi-discipline Readers.

Wiegand Modes
Mode
Terminal Action
Tag Only:
Treats all codes received as tag codes.
Tag + PIN:
Treats the first Wiegand code received as the tag
code, and the second Wiegand code received as
the PIN-code.
Tag + Reason:
Treats the first Wiegand code received as the tag
code, and the second Wiegand code received as
the Reason Code.
Table 3: Wiegand Modes
Wiegand Mode Rules
Enter PIN-codes or Reason Codes on the Reader within 10 seconds otherwise the
Controller discards the tag code.
If the IXP20 Controller expects a PIN-code and receives a number greater than
65535, then the Controller assumes the number to be a tag code. The Controller
discards the previously read Tag for the current one and the Controller will still
expect a PIN-code.
If the IXP20 Controller expects a Reason Code and receives a number greater
than 65535, then the Controller assumes the number to be a tag code. The
Controller discards the previously read Tag for the current one and the Controller
will still expect a PIN-code or Reason Code, depending on the mode.
If the Controller expects a Reason code and instead receives a number in the
range 100 to 65535, the Controller assumes this is an error. The Controller
discards the entire transaction, entering a new tag code starts the process again.
If using PIN-codes and Reason Codes set the IXP20 Controller switches for
Wiegand 26-bit, 37-bit, 40-bit and 44-bit, not Wiegand open format.

(additional Fixed Address Label packaged with the Controller) Fixed Address Label in
the position of the Controller on the sketched site plan. When the system installation is
complete and all the units are represented on the site plan by their Fixed Address
Labels, file the site plan for future reference.

ISC304-0-0-GB-06
April 2011
Page 15
The Fixed Address Label included with the Controller is the Fixed Address for the
Controller only. In addition to the Controller Fixed Address, the IXP20 Controller
reports up to two Terminal Fixed Addresses.
Controller‟s Fixed Address: 6E XX XX XX.
Reader 1‟s Fixed Address: 6F XX XX XX.
Reader 2‟s Fixed Address: 70 XX XX XX.
NOTE: Where additional Terminals connect to the Controller, extra Fixed
Addresses for the respective Terminals appear during the Software’s Auto-
ID process.
MAC Address
Figure 7: Sample MAC Address Label
Each IXP20 Controller is supplied with a separate MAC Address Label, much like the
one shown in Figure 7, which uniquely identifies each Controller.
Attach the extra loose MAC Address Label, alongside the Fixed Address Label, to the
Unit Location Chart enclosed (or your sketched site plan).
