and communication lines wiring to S-Node G2, C-Node G2, Moveo, Moveo XL mounting,
connecting cables, setting switches and verification.
Set the device address according requirements. Default address is “2”. For setting
follow procedure in the section 5.2 Setting Address
When mounting outside, make sure no water can leak in through cable holes.
Evaluate power requirements as described in section 4 Power Supply.Same time evaluate
required power cables determined by required power and length of the cables.
Select cables used for communication lines as described in section 5 RS485 Communication
Line
Determine an appropriate mounting position for the device. The BCR-S Mini G2 is supported
to be installed on walls, mounting column, mounting brackets. The back plate of the unit
contain rubber sealing so it SHALL BE NOT used as a template for drilling. Use attached
drilling pattern instead.
Route the interface cables to S-Node G2, C-Node G2, Moveo, Moveo XL or to the other reader if
the actual reader is in the middle of the bus. Route cables to other accessories to be connected.
Install the bottom part of BCR-S Mini G2 box to the wall. Feed all cables inside the box to
appropriate position and fix them to the box with cable ties.
Connect all cables to the terminals as required.
Set termination jumper SW1 to enabled (default setting) if the actual reader is placed at the end
of the bus.
After wiring the BCR-S Mini G2 and accessories, device is ready to be tested. If the card reader
have been properly installed, connect terminal PL1 to the BCR-S Mini G2. The card reader will
beep for 1 second and starts working after short while (this is valid only in case that system was
already configured at PC level and that the parent node is up and running). This indicates that
unit is working properly.
Assemble the unit by pressing the top part down on the back plate. Ensure correct positioning

4 Power Supply
BCR-S Mini G2 doesn’t use own power supply instead it is powered from S-Node G2, central unit C-
Node G2, Moveo or Moveo XL. The S-Node G2 is normally powered from central unit C-Node G2
where power supply and communication line are distributed together to door environments.
S-Node G2, C-Node G2, Moveo/XL are equipped with fused terminals to supply power to card
readers.
4.1 Power requirements
Before starting installation, power requirements needs to be evaluated.
Typical power consumption is 20 mA, it can slightly increase while applying card.
4.1.1 Power supply
The device is powered by terminal PL1. Connector for power supply and communication line is
fixed to bottom cover and it’s released from electronics while opening device.
PL1 24VDC/RS485

5 Communication and address
There is one RS485 communication line to/from the BCR-S Mini G2.
5.1 Setting address
For proper communication on RS485 device needs to have proper address assigned. All devices
have from production address 2. If another address is required default address must be changed by
using tool for address setting.
5.1.1 Address setting on reader
To set address on BCR-S Mini G2 you need to use BCR-G2 Setup program.
Valid address range when connected to S-Node G2: 1-2
Valid address range when connected directly to C-Node G2/Moveo/XL: is 1-8
Procedure to setup address:
1. Connect a USB to RS485 cable to readers RS485 connector. Make sure that RS485 connection
to S-Node G2 is not connected since it will interfere with BCR-G2 Setup program and upgrade will
fail.
2. Start BCR-G2 Setup program, select proper Serial port and address of Reader. Baudrate should
be 19200.

3. If you are successfully connected you will see *Disconnect“ with green text.
4. In the New Address field change address to wanted address, address range is 1-16, press change,
next press Reset.
5. Reader will now reset and new address has been set.
6. The connection button will change color to red – disconnect since it lost connection to reader
with previous address.
7. To test that reader has proper address change Address to new Address and press Connect. You
should now get Disconnect with green color.

SystemHouse Solutions
If there are any problems connecting to reader, make sure you have correct address set in settings
and that tamper switches is not active. Make sure that you have correct addresses set in Integra
Client.
5.2 RS485 communication line
The RS485 bus must be configured as a bus with no branches. The bus needs to be terminated at
each end. Jumpers are provided on each device (C-Node G2, Moveo, Moveo XL, S-Node G2 and
card readers) to enable or disable termination. Up to two card readers can be connected to the same
S-Node G2, as in-reader and out-reader.
Since together with communication line is distributed also power line we do use mixed cable to
supply both in one.

SW1 RS485 Termination
5.2.3 Recommended cable
Maximum length of RS485 line can be up to 1000 meters from the first to last unit on the bus.
Always use twisted pair cables, and we always recommend the use of shielded cable for connecting
card readers.
NOTE:
ALWAYS calculate total power consumption and choose a cable with conductor cross-sectional
area designed for that total power consumption.
ALWAYS calculate voltage drop before selecting cable.

SystemHouse Solutions
5.2.3.1 PTS-HF-2x2x0.6
We always recommend screened, twisted pair cables, type PTS-HF-2x2x0.6 for RS485 lines.
A screened cable is considerably more difficult to wiretap than an unscreened cable.
Higher cable cross-sectional areas may be necessary in the case of long lines, as voltage drops can
be expected.
5.2.4 RS485 network topology and termination principles
•Linear double terminated bus
•Linear double terminated cascade bus with S-Node G2 in the middle.
Star formation in the wiring from S-Node G2
•Two linear double terminated cascade buses on C-Node G2.
RS485 lines from C-Node G2 can have bus formation although wiring is performed as a star
network. This can be done by using two cable pairs for the bus, "RS485 out" and "RS485 in".
C-Node G2 can be equipped with an optional connection block for this, CG2-VDE
