M3000 Installation Guide 9
CHAPTER 1 Introduction
The M3000 controller is a user-configurable controller enclosure for use with the OnGuard access
control and alarm management software platform. The M3000 provides distributed processing for the
interface of access control readers, keypads, alarm inputs and outputs back to a host system computer.
Distributed processing from the PXNplus CPU board within the M3000 enclosure allows the
controller to operate independent of the host system computer with the majority of access control and
alarm monitoring decisions made locally at the controller.
The PXNplus CPU employs an embedded Linux operating system. This operating system permits the
PXNplus to be network configured for DHCP or fixed (static) IP addressing. The PXNplus
configuration is set by configuring web pages that are served by the PXNplus internal web server.
Diagnostics and log files are also served up using web pages from the PXNplus CPU. The PXNplus
CPU supports persistent database storage. When the PXNplus is connected to a host, information
about readers, alarms, outputs, schedules, and badges are automatically downloaded to the CPU. The
PXNplus stores this information in nonvolatile memory. In case of a power failure and a loss of
communications to the host, the PXNplus CPU returns to operation as previously configured when
the power is restored to the CPU. When the host becomes available, the PXNplus automatically
uploads stored transactions and refreshes its database.
The M3000 enclosure has five (5) slots for controller boards. All boards plug into the controller
backplane making field configuration and maintenance easy and economical. Screw terminal
connector plugs for all wire connections eliminate field maintenance wiring errors. The M3000
enclosure can be wall mounted or rack mounted. The optional M3000 rack mounting kit allows the
M3000 to mount directly to a standard 19” EIA rack. The M3000 occupies 9U within a rack.
The M3000 consists of the following components:
•Enclosure (all steel cabinet with key lock and tamper-switch-protected door)
•Power supply (110/230 input/12 VDC output 6 amp), 50/60 Hz
•Battery backup (12 AH gel-cell)
•Power/Communications board
•PXNplus CPU board
Options include:
•Reader Processing board: 2RP, 2SRP, or 8RP

CHAPTER 2 Installation, Planning, and Mounting
The following is a basic outline for installing and setting up your M3000 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. Connect AC power to the power supply. Refer to Connecting the AC Input Power to the M3000
on page 25.
5. Mount and install the battery backup. Refer to Installing the Battery Backup, AC Fail, and Low
Battery on page 27.
6. Wire up the Power/Communications board. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings.
Refer to Power/Communications Board on page 23.
7. If using networked controllers, verify that your network is up and running.
8. Install and wire up the PXNplus CPU board. Be sure to configure and verify the jumpers. If this
is a network controller, plug in the network cable. Refer to PXNplus CPU Board on page 31.
9. Install the reader board(s) into the enclosure and wire up the readers to the controller. Be sure to
configure and verify the switch settings, jumpers, and/or resistor packs. Refer to Reader
Processing Boards on page 37.
10. If using digital inputs (DIs), insert the DI board into the enclosure and wire the DIs to the board.
Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings. Refer to 20DI Board on page 71.
11. If using digital outputs (DOs), insert the DO board into the enclosure and wire the DOs to the
board. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings. Refer to 16DO and 16DOR Boards on
page 74.
12. Test the wiring before you apply power. Refer to Pre-Power Up Testing on page 79.

Safety
Radio Interference
• WARNING! • 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.

M3000 Installation Guide 17
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 M3000 controller using the grounding studs provided
outside the cabinet enclosure.
•For communication cables between controllers, ground shield to the upstream controller only.
• 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 M3000 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 M3000 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:

Installation, Planning, and Mounting
18 M3000 Installation Guide
•Locate the host computer and the M3000 controller in areas secure from any disruption to data
communications or tampering.
•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 M3000 from hazardous (high) voltages.
•Mount the M3000 on a vertical surface with at least 6 inches (15.2 cm) clearance on all four sides
to support thermal air cooling.
•Locate the M3000 in a place that provides dedicated AC earth ground. The M3000 must be earth
grounded.
•Keep interior and exterior housing of all M3000 cabinets and other components free of wire
remnants.
•Avoid temperatures outside range specified for M3000 operating environment (refer to
