POPULUS A-1-NET and POPULUS A-3-NET –
ACCESS CONTROLLER
The Populus A is an access controller with built-in proximity card
reader. It is designed for residential and business buildings, offices,
shops, etc. The controller can have 125kHz or 13.56MHz reading
frequency.
The entire set-up procedure is carried out with the software. The
controller allows access for up to 30000 users and saves 100000
events. It is intended for controlling entries, exits and passes of
users in the system and controlling sliding doors, ramp, el. strike,
turning alarm on/off… It needs to be set with CODEKS software.
The SDK is also available for this controller. If a user or software
producer wants to develop its own application, please contact us.

POWER SUPPLY
The controller need’s external power supply to operate.
The Spider W40 power supply is sufficient to power two controllers
and two 12V electric strikes or two 12V magnetic locks (0.5A).
The Spider W5 power supply is sufficient to power one controller
and one 12V electric strike (0.25A).
VOLTAGE DROPS and SIGNAL INTERFERENCES
When you connect the controller, use cable with a diameter of at
least 0.22mm2. If the cable length exceeds 25m, use one twisted
pair of UTP cables for the positive (+) pole and one for the
negative (-) pole. The cable length between power supply and the
controller should not exceed 50m.
Take into consideration that a 0.22mm2cable has a resistance of
approximately 9 ohm per 100m. The power supply at the end of
cable should be a minimum of 11V. If you are using el. strike, it is
highly recommended that the voltage drop is calculated. At greater
distances, a thicker cable of 0.5mm2or more should be used
wherever possible.
If the load is, for example, 0.5A (with el. strike) then, on the
0.22mm2cable voltage drop will be 4.5V at 100m. For the device
with 60mA consumption, the voltage drop is 0.5V.
Reading distance depends on where the controller is installed. The
presence of metal or interferences can significantly reduce the
reading distance. DO NOT install the controller directly on metal
surfaces and/or cover it with a metal cover.
It is not recommended to install controllers closer than 30cm
from each other in any direction. Otherwise, it may result in
inaccurate readings or, indeed, in the controller not reading at
all.
For Populus A-3-NET to comply with EMC directives (CE),
you have to put ferrite core on the cable as close to the
reader as possible, making two turns!
INPUTS
Inputs are realized with opto-isolators. The input is active, when
pulled to ground with an open collector transistor or mechanical
switch, which is connecting the input pin of the controller to the
Ground.
OUTPUTS
Output has a pre-installed protection diode for an inductive load. It
is also protected from current overload. The best way is to use a
0.25A el. strike or a 0.5A el. magnet, which has to be connected to
the same positive pole (+) as the controller. Connect the negative
pole (-) to the door strike output (wire 3). When the output is
active it is pulled to ground. This can be changed with function 5 –
negate output (for el. magnet).
ENVIROMENT
Do not install the controller on/in a place, where it can come in
contact with water. You must assure good cable joints, protected
against moisture, otherwise corrosion may damage the controller.
Damage in such cases is not covered by the warranty.
READING RANGE
The controller has a program algorithm that, at power start, sets
parameters based on the installation environment, so as to ensure
an optimal reading range. DO NOT install the controller directly on
metal surfaces and/or cover it with a metal cover; it may stop
working/reading. If you plan to test the controller and move it onto
different surfaces, then you have to reset it (power off/on) on each
surface.

INSTALLATION
A special holder, provided with the controller, is needed for
attachment to the wall. Two screws are enclosed in the box. After
the holder has been affixed, put the controller onto the holder and
press –after you hear the click, it is fixed. If you want to remove
the controller from the wall, put the screwdriver under the
controller’s casing (as close as possible to the holder’s attachment
points) and turn it gently.
Installation holder for A box.
COMMUNICATION
Ethernet:
Connect the controller to the computer through your LAN via
Ethernet connector. Use at least UTP CAT 5e cable. Adjust network
settings of the controller using the Codeks Device Manager
software so that it will function properly in your network. Please
consult Codeks Device Manager’s manual.
RS485:
Connect the controller to the computer, with one of the power
supplies, with communication converter, from the Spider family:
Spider W5-USB, Spider W5-NET, Spider W40+NET.
The RS485 communication bus is used between the controllers and
Jantar software. Up to 128 controllers can be lined up into one
communication line. The maximum length of the communication
line is 1000 cable meters. It is recommended that you use an FTP
or S-FTP cable. Only a serial connection of controllers in a single
communication line is allowed. Star (parallel) connection is not
allowed.
All shields of S-FTP cables must be wired together and at one
point connected to the earth. Individual connections to the earth
are not allowed. Do not connect the shield of the cable to the
ground of the controller.
In the event of problems in communication, a termination
resistor needs to be added. We recommend using 120 Ohm
resistors on each side of the cable. Converters are, on the
RS485 side, protected with slow-blow fuses and transient
voltage suppressors.
ACCESS CONTROLLER
As an access controller, it is intended for controlling entries, exits
and passes of users in the system and controlling sliding doors,
ramp, el. strike, turning alarm on/off… It needs to be set with
CODEKS software.
The default address of the controller is the same as the last
digit of the IP address. E.g. if the IP address of the
controller is 192.168.110.105, then the controller's address
is 105.
Reset to the factory settings (brainwash):
When the controller is reset to the factory settings (brainwash), the
controller address is set to 255.
