Product description
Metra Locker Controller is used in different Metra Electronic Locking Systems. Device drives and
monitors Metra Electronic Locks. Up to 16 locks can be connected directly to the unit, with the
possibility to add up to two Extension Modules for 8 additional Electronic Locks each. This enables
configurations for up to 16, 24 or 32 locks, which makes the controller adoptable to many locker
layout configurations. As user interface different system specific Metra user interface devices (e.g.
Display RFID/Keypad/Combo/Touch, Reader Terminal, Reader Terminal Basic, etc.) can be used.

Locker Controller also supports emergency and security features. A pushbutton for emergency
opening of all Lockers connected to the Locker Controller (and belonging extension modules) is fitted
on the main electronics board and also an external emergency pushbutton can be connected. In case
of attempt of break-in an Alarm message is distributed over Metra NET Network to Metra user
interface devices and over Metra Network Controller to LAN / WAN and Metra software.
For easier installation on site different configurations of controller & extension module(s) on
mounting plates are supplied.
Basic Parts
Locker Controller PCB with two extension modules and connecting PCB
Emergency Open Push-button (optional)
Emergency Open Push-button is used to initiate Emergency Open procedure
for all Electronic Locks connected to Locker Controller.
ELS NET Tester (optional)
Tester with 4 digit display for TEST mode of operation.

Connecting Locker Extension Modules
When Locker Controller without mounting plate is used connect up to two Extension modules by 6
wire flat cable. There are two equivalent connectors on the main electronics board (LC16A) use the
one which suits your connection best.
When Locker Controller is ordered with mounting plate Extension Modules (LC24_* and LC32_*) are
already connected.
Locker Extension Module setting
The first Locker Extension Module DIP switch (indexes 17-24) and second Locker Extension Module
DIP switch (indexes 25-32) must be set as follows:

Connecting Electronic Locks
Connect Electronic Locks using 6 wire flat cable.
Maximum length of each cable is 20 meters.
Cables from Electronic Locks with lower locker numbers must be connected to lower index
connector. Locker number is increasing from left to right (blue arrows)!
Mind ascending order when numerating lockers. Gaps between numbers are allowed.
EXAMPLE: Most left connector (index 1) is locker number 161, most right connector (index 32) is
locker number 192.
Power supply connection (Locker Controller without distribution board)
Regulated 12 VDC power supply is required for proper operation. Connect as many units as possible
to a single power supply unit. Consult the Technical Specifications section of this document for
current consumption.
There are two internally connected power connectors on the board. You can use one as “Power IN”
and the other as “Power OUT” connector.
Connect 12V DC regulated power supply to designated terminals. The terminals are marked as +12V
for positive connection and GND for ground connection.
WARNING
Mind the polarity! Wrong polarity could result in irreparable damage to the device.
Respect power requirements data! Using unsuitable power supply could result in damage to the
power supply and to the device.

Power supply connection (Locker Controller with distribution board)
Regulated 12 VDC power supply is required for proper operation. Connect as many units as possible
to a single power supply unit. Consult the Technical Specifications section of this document for
current consumption.
Connect 12V DC regulated power supply to designated terminals. The terminals are marked as +12V
for positive connection and GND for ground connection.
WARNING
Mind the polarity! Wrong polarity could result in irreparable damage to the device.
Respect power requirements data! Using unsuitable power supply could result in damage to the
power supply and to the device.

Metra NET Network connection (Locker Controller without distribution board)
The Metra NET Network connection provides for operational functionality of the Locker Controller.
Different devices in parallel can be connected to the Metra Network Controller by a single unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable. Total length of the twisted pair cable is limited to 1 km. One Network Line
Terminator must be connected at the far end of the network cable. See also “Metra NET Network –
Installation Manual” for different wiring schemes.
Connect the twisted pair network cable to designated terminals. The terminals are marked as CANLO
for network low signal and CANHI for network high signal.
NOTE 
Mind the polarity of the network connection!
Metra NET Network connection (Locker Controller with distribution board)
Connect the twisted pair network cable to designated terminals. The terminals are marked as CANL
for network low signal and CANH for network high signal.
NOTE 
Mind the polarity of the network connection!
