Installation Instructions

These instructions cover the installation and set up of an INOVA PDC door
controller—either stand-alone, or in a system. Be sure to start with the
column on the right, and refer to additional sheets as provided with the
readers and other devices.
INOVA PDC Installation Summary:
Notes: One or two readers are supported (for a single door). Forced entry mon-
itoring requires a door contact, plus an RTE button or auxiliary reader (for exiting
without generating an alarm). Local programming on the standard version, and
Card Plus PIN operation requires a keypad-equipped reader.
Environment: 0 to 55° C (32 to 122° F), 5-95% relative humidity
(non-condensing). Reader specifications vary with each specific reader
(weatherized versions are available for outdoor applications).
Before You Begin
•All power should be removed (AC
and back-up battery) before working on
any other connections to the PCB.
•Static can destroy IC chips!Proper
considerations should be taken to
avoid static damage during handling
and transport of any circuit boards.
•Never discard any supplied items un-
less you are sure they are not needed.
Packing List
•One door controller assembly with
cover (may include a built-in keypad).
•The INOVA PDC User’s Guide, plus
these Installation Instructions.
•Two magnetic stripe Master Program-
ming Cards (MPCs), plus two stick-on
labels for identifying Wiegand MPCs.
•A small pouch containing:
-Four mounting screws and anchors.
-A diode (1N4005 or 1N5061) for use
with DC door strike wiring.
-An 8.2 kΩresistor (grey, red, red),
and a 2.7 kΩresistor (red, violet, red)
for use with the door contact wiring.
Required Components
•One hydraulic door closer.
•Power supply: 12 VDC (regulated), ≥150
mA, plus current requirements of the
reader(s). Note: With a back-up
battery, select a 13.7 V supply that
provides a suitable charging circuit.
•Suitable transformer for the P/S above
(typically, 16 VAC, 37 VA).
•A suitable power supply and/or
transformer for the door strike (fused
output highly recommended).
•Power wiring, earth ground(s), and a
typical door strike require 18 AWG
stranded wire. These wires must be
separate from any shielded cables.
•Reader cables:
22 AWG shielded, 6-17 conductors
(Wiegand/Prox: max. 150 m / 500 ft;
Magstripe: Up to 180 m / 600 ft);
Basic Rdr (Main/Aux) = 6 wires each;
Reader Tamper = 2 wires each;
Main Reader Keypad = 7 wires;
Main Reader Buzzer = 2 wires.
...components continue on next page...
Readers and Cards: Magstripe swipe, Wiegand swipe, and Proximity
readers (with Wiegand output) are supported. Wiegand-compatible
readers must provide either a standard 'format A' 26-bit output, or our
proprietary 36-bit output. Magnetic stripe cards can be either standard
access cards, or existing/custom cards that meet the ISO 3554 standard
(for details, obtain P/N 22-0259 ("Using Custom Access Cards").

Getting Started:
Unpacking: Unpack the unit, and check that all components are present
and intact (see the previous packing list).
Cabling and Reader Mounting: To prevent damage, be sure to run
cables before mounting the controller (routing details appear in the
column opposite). Readers and door peripherals (door contact, strike,
RTE) can also be installed at this time.
Mounting the Controller: Remove the cover, and use the housing as a
template to mark a suitable height and location.
Then, use screws and
anchors as required to
mount the unit.
Note: Do not over
tighten the mounting
screws.
Earth Grounding: Connect the PCB to a locally-approved earth ground
at the bottom left corner (see the diagram on page 4):
Note: Do not connect any 0 V (Signal Ground) lines to the
earth ground. Troubleshooting Tip: Lack of proper grounding can
result in card misreads and erratic operation.
Cable Shield Grounding: Ground the comms cable shield only at the
host, and crimp together at each device. The reader cable shields should
be left ungrounded (simply cut the shield ’tails’, or tape them back), with
each reader mounting plate being grounded locally.
Note: For EMC compliance, grounding requirements may differ
slightly with each type of controller. Therefore, always refer to the
installation instructions provided with each specific device.
Additional Components
•Comms cable: 2wires, 24 AWG, 120Ω,
shielded (Belden 9841 or equivalent);
maximum 4000 cable-feet /1.2 km.
•The optional RTE button or sensor
must be N/O (closes when activated).
•A door sensor/contact must be able to
’mimic’ the door state (contacts open
when the door is opened). Note: This
is not supported with a turnstile.
•Wiring for the door contact and RTE,
plus the alarm and tamper relays
(2 wires each) must be 22 AWG.
•See the door strike wiring detail on
page 5 for additional components.
Cable Routing
•Be sure to distance all cables from
sources of electromagnetic interference
(motors, fluorescent lights, etc.).
•Ensure that door unlock wiring is
separate from any shielded cables.
•Tip: Running wires through the larger
housing notches allows connectors to
fit through during future removal/repair.
Relay Operation
•Door Unlock Relay: This relay provides
a choice between normally open and
normally closed contacts (for fail-
secure versus fail-safe locks).
•Tamper Relay: Contacts are held
closed, opening during power failure, or
when tampering is detected.
•Alarm Relay: With alarm signal mode,
the contacts are held closed, opening
during power failure, or to signal an
alarm. With alarm shunt mode
(default), the contacts are normally
open, closing only when the shunt is in
effect (during allowed ’door held open’
time after access is granted).
Programming Keypad
•The standard version requires one
keypad-equipped reader if local
programming is to be supported. This
is used for stand-alone installations,
and INOVA print/time server sites, and
also allows programming during
comms failure in other systems.
•Units that include a built-in keypad do
not require a keypad-equipped reader
for programming.

Door Strike Wiring:
To protect the controller circuitry, one of the following devices must
be installed close to the electric lock:
DC Strike: Use the supplied diode.
AC lock: Use a locally sourced MOV (27 V Metal Oxide Varistor).
Magnetic Lock without reversing coils: Use the supplied diode.
Magnetic Lock with reversing coils (or if unsure): Use a MOV.
As well, a transient voltage filter (P/N 16-0855) installed across the
unlock relay contacts will improve reliability and extend relay life. This
is highly recommended.
Fail Safe: Unlocked when powered down (energized = locked);
Fail Secure: Locked when powered down (energized = unlocked).
Communications Wiring:
Start-Up
•Before power-up, ensure the jumpers
are set correctly, and the diode, etc. is
installed as shown opposite.
•Apply power to the unit and watch for
the on-board LED to come on (plus an
LED at each reader).
•When finished, install the front cover,
ensuring that all wires are clear.
Master Programming Cards
•When first installed or after a complete
reset (#98#2#), units set up for keypad
programming require two Master Pro-
gramming Cards (MPCs) to be set up.
•It is simplest to use a single pair of
cards for all units at a site (otherwise,
take care to keep track of each pair).
•Magnetic stripe MPCs are special
cards embossed with a reset passkey.
Wiegand and proximity MPCs are
standard cards, to be identified with the
labels provided.
•The reset passkeys are very
important (required if both Master
Programming Cards are lost).
Master Programming Card Setup
•Enter #1111# at the keypad, and watch
for a’Ready for Cmd’indication (you may
1st have to power down for ≈10 sec.).
•’Swipe’ each MPC in the reader, and
watch for a ’card added’ LED indication
each time.
•Enter #00#, and watch for the LEDs to
return to the ’door locked / ready’ state.
•If Wiegand / Prox., each Master Prog.
card reset passkey equals the last four
digits of the card ID—in reverse order.
Mark this on the MPCs (labels provided).
Final Steps
•Program any required settings, and
then add a card and test for proper
access control (see next page).
Note: Custom magnetic stripe cards
require special programming first
(obtain a copy of P/N 22-0259).
•When finished, give the Master Pro-
gramming Cards and any applicable
documentation to the customer (plus
tell them about the reset passkeys, and
answer any questions they may have).
