CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Notes: This manual covers all versions of the DirecDoor Controller, including the DirecDoor
Single Door Controller (DDSDC). The DDSDC has fewer hardware components and
features than other DirecDoor models.
The following components have been removed from the DDSDC:
Connector J4: The DDSDC only supports one door that can support up to two (2)
readers.
Connector J5 and Switch SW3: The DDSDC does not support the DirecDoor I/O
Expansion Board (DDIO). The DDSDC does not support RS-485 communication.
Connector J7: The DDSDC does not support the NX bus.
Connector J11: The DDSDC does not support a dial-up modem.
The DDSDC also does not support a Dual Network Interface Card (NIC).
When working with the DDSDC and this manual, ignore references to the above-
mentioned hardware components and features, and any references about the host
application and/or the ICT and these components/features.
The DirecDoor controller provides distributed processing for the interface of access control readers,
keypads, alarm inputs and outputs back to a host system computer. This distributed processing allows
each DirecDoor controller to operate independent of the host system computer with the majority of
access control and alarm monitoring decisions made locally at the controller. DirecDoor provides
instant response for door control and alarm sensing in the field, while leaving the host system
computer with more processing power for quickly executing daily operations such as alarm response,
database updates and reporting.
DirecDoor incorporates flash memory technology that provides the ability to receive its operating
system and application remotely from the host system over the already established communications
path. This allows future firmware upgrades centrally from the host system without requiring costly
service trips to each location for firmware replacement. Both, the modular design and the flash
memory technology, provide a simple migration path when considering future host system upgrades.
The DirecDoor controller consists of the following:
•Enclosure with DirecDoor PCA mounted
•Hardware kit

DirecDoor Installation Guide 15
CHAPTER 2 Installation, Planning, and Mounting
Read these instructions and all supporting documentation entirely before installing or operating this
product. A qualified service person, complying with all applicable codes, should perform the
hardware installation.
Note: We recommend that you configure DirecDoor controllers before field deployment.This
means you should define your network addressing scheme prior to installation, bench
configure your DirecDoor controllers following the networking scheme, and identify
the DirecDoor controller externally, then proceed with on-site installation.
The following is a basic outline for installing and setting up your DirecDoor system. Some steps may
have been done for you depending on what you ordered. Some steps are optional, depending on the
additional equipment you plan to use. These steps are noted.
• WARNING! • Do not apply power to any component until the installation is complete.
Damage to components may occur if power is incorrectly applied.
1. Determine the cable clamps needed and obtain them before starting the installation.
During the installation, remember to:
•Label all connections/cables for ease of maintenance.
•Leave enough slack in the wiring so the cables can be “dressed.” This minimizes
interference during board removal or replacement.
2. Unpack your system. Refer to Introduction on page 9.
3. Mount the enclosure. Refer to Mounting on page 17.
4. If required, mount and install one of the following:
•PoE power supply. Refer to Installing the PoE (Power over Ethernet) on page 24.
•Auxiliary power supply with battery backup. Refer to Installing theAuxiliary Power Supply
on page 25.
5. Verify that your network is up and running.
6. Install and wire up the DirecDoor board. Be sure to configure and verify the jumpers. Plug in the
network cable. Refer to DirecDoor Board on page 27.
7. Wire the readers to the controller. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings and
jumpers. Refer to Reader Interface on page 37.

8. If using digital outputs, wire the digital outputs to the board. Refer to DO Interface on page 57.
9. Test the wiring before you apply power. Refer to Pre-Power Up Testing on page 61.
10. Configure your controller. Configure the controller using the Integrated Configuration Tool.
Refer to Controller Firmware Tools on page 63.
Safety
Radio Interference
Note: This is an FCC Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause
radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precaution
• WARNING! • Circuit board components are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). ESD can cause immediate or subtle damage to sensitive electronic
parts. An electrostatic charge can build up on the human body and then
discharge when you touch a board.A discharge can be produced when walking
across a carpet and touching a board, for example. Before handling any board,
make sure you dissipate your body’s charge by touching ground. This
discharges any static electricity build-up.
General Installation Rules
• WARNING! • This equipment is to be installed, maintained and serviced by authorized
service persons only.
The authorized installation contractor should comply with the following rules:
•Neatly label cables at both ends.
(For example, labels should include: controller address number/device or reader number)
•Use individually shielded pairs of cables only. All wiring must comply with local, state, and
federal electrical codes and fire codes.
•Obey all national, state, and local electrical and safety codes.
•Obtain any required permits and/or inspections. Contact the local fire marshal for assistance if
necessary.
•Safety of customer personnel is the primary consideration of the installation.
•Neatly dress and tie or lace all wiring in a professional manner.
•Gather together and tape all unused conductors in multiple conductor cables.
•Shield all cabling and terminate properly.

Observing Noise Prevention Procedures
Observing Noise Prevention Procedures
Signal Transmission
•Where practical, keep cables well separated from each other. Separate power cables from signal
cables.
•Keep the break-out at the ends of signal cables as short as possible.
•Ground all shield drain wire(s) at the DirecDoor controller using the grounding nuts provided
outside the cabinet enclosure.
• WARNING! • Do not ground both cable ends.
Cable Routing
Keep cabling at least 1 foot (30.5 cm) away from any power line or other AC voltage source.
Exercise caution when locating cables and DirecDoor components near any other equipment that may
cause electrical interference (noise). Examples of electrical and electro-magnetic noise sources are:
•Fluorescent lighting and neon fixtures.
•Power distribution panels, including wiring, transformers, generators, and alternators.
•Motors that drive machinery, such as air conditioners, elevators, escalators, large blowers, and
machine tools. Electromagnetic equipment such as degaussers, magnetic chucks, etc.
•Control equipment (relays) for machinery and other switching devices that carry or switch large
currents.
•Radio and television receivers and transmitters.
•Signal generators and intercom systems.
•Radar transmitting equipment.
•Arc welders, electrodischarge machinery, and related equipment.
•RF induction heaters.
Cable Length
•Minimize long parallel cable runs since they increase the likelihood of interference between
signal cables and electrical interference sources.
•Avoid excess cable length between the DirecDoor controller and the optional equipment, such as
readers and digital outputs, to reduce signal degradation due to external effects.
Mounting
Be sure to read the mounting and handling guidelines below before beginning to mount the controller.
Mounting and Handling Guidelines
Comply with the following guidelines:
•Locate the host computer and the DirecDoor controller in areas secure from any disruption to
data communications or tampering.

Installation, Planning, and Mounting
18 DirecDoor Installation Guide
•Clean and clear all mounting areas of corrosive gases and airborne metallic particles. Avoid
installing near photocopiers due to contamination from toner particles.
•Protect the DirecDoor from hazardous (high) voltages.
•Mount the DirecDoor on a vertical surface with at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) clearance on all four
sides to support thermal air cooling.
•Locate the DirecDoor in a place that provides dedicated AC earth ground. The DirecDoor must
be earth grounded.
•Keep interior and exterior housing of all DirecDoor cabinets and other components free of wire
remnants.
•Avoid temperatures outside range specified for DirecDoor operating environment (refer to
Specifications on page 10). Do not leave boards or other components in direct sunlight.
•To avoid mechanical damage, do not drop or stack boards.
•Do not subject printed circuit boards to electrostatic discharge.
