Welcome
1.1 The TX3-CX-1 Single Door Controller
The TX3-CX Card Access System is part of the Mircom suite of products that
provide building ready monitoring, control and integrated security solutions for
use in the high end multi-tenant residential market.
The TX3-CX-1 Single Door Controller has all the features for an entry level
access control application with the flexibility for scalability. It is an innovative
PoE controller with a built-in proximity reader that can be used stand alone or
networked using either RS-485 or TCP/IP.
Note: To comply with UL 294, use TX3-CX-1 as a standalone device.
1.2 Features
Simple - Simply mount TX3-CX-1 onto a single gang electrical box and connect
CAT-5/6 cable for both power and network communication.
Flexible - Power the TX3-CX-1 by either 12 VDC, 24 to 48 VDC or PoE.
Network the controller by RS-485 or TCP/IP.
Versatile -TX3-CX-1 has a built-in 125 kHz proximity reader for interior
applications. A Wiegand card reader can be added for outside the door.
Scalable - The TX3-CX-1 may be used stand alone or networked to other TX3
platform devices for up to 63 nodes, if using the RS-485 network. There is no
limit if TCP/IP is used.
1.3 Configuration

Connect the readers to the terminals shown in Figure 7.
Card readers supplied by Mircom require a foil shielded multiple conductor
stranded cable, 22-16 AWG. For example, use Belden 9535 or a similar cable.
For other brands of card readers, follow the instructions in the manual for the
card reader.
Note: Some card readers treat the green and red LED connections
differently. You might need to switch the green and red LED
connections for the LED to work properly. This note applies to both
single line LED and dual line LED readers.
2.5.1 Card reader requirements
Card readers must meet the following minimum requirements in order to be
compatible with Mircom’s Card Access System:
• 26 bit standard SIA protocol
• Standard Wiegand interface
• LED status indicator
• Warning or alarm buzzer
• 12 Volt operation
• Maximum distance 152.4 m (500 ft)
• Use 20 AWG for 152.4 m (500 ft)
• Use 22 AWG for 76.2 m (250 ft)
• For other card readers, consult your reader installation manual for
recommended distances and gauges

2.6 USB Port
The USB port provides a connection to a PC for configuring the Card Access
System and upgrading the firmware.
2.7 Inputs
Inputs 1 to 4 are programmable inputs. In the TX3 Configurator software, the
inputs are configured as follows by default:
• Input 1: Door contact
• Input 2: Request to Exit
• Input 3: General purpose
• Input 4: General purpose
Figure 8. Input Terminal Sample Connections
For details on the active state and supervision of the inputs, see sections 2.7.1 to
2.7.6 below.
For details on programming the inputs, see LT-995.
2.7.1 Door contact
When the door is open this input is active and when the door is closed the input is
inactive.
2.7.2 Request to Exit
Activation of this input unlocks the door and starts the door unlock timer.

2.7.3 General purpose input
The general purpose input is mainly used for establishing a correlation with a
specific output. When a general purpose input becomes active it is considered as
an event that correlates to either turn on or off a general purpose output, or to turn
on or off the high security mode. Other correlated events include different
functions such as forced entry, auto relock or interlock.
2.7.4 Active state
An active state is when the input circuit is considered active and is configured as
one of the following:
•open
• short (default)
There are some restrictions in configuring the active state depending on what
kind of supervision is required.
If the input is not supervised the input is either ‘open’ or ‘closed’. If the input is
supervised for ‘open’ the active state cannot be ‘open’.
If the input is supervised for both ‘open’ and ‘short’ the active state cannot be
‘open’.
2.7.5 Supervision requirement
Each input is configured for a specific type of supervision depending on your
particular installation requirements as follows:
• no supervision
• supervise for open
• supervise for short
• supervise for both open and short
2.7.5.1 No Supervision
When inputs are configured with no supervision, the active state is either ‘open’
or ‘short’ as programmed.

Installation of TX3-CX-1
2.7.5.2 Supervised for open
When configured as supervised for open, the active state is ‘closed’ (short). Open
supervision uses a single 47K ohm resistor.
Figure 9. Input - Supervised for Open
Note: The active state cannot be an open state.
2.7.5.3 Supervised for short
When configured as supervised for short, the active state is open. A single 47K
ohm resistor is required for short supervision.
Figure 10. Input - Supervised for Short
Note: The active state cannot be a short state.
2.7.5.4 Supervise for open and short
When configured as supervise for both ‘open’ and ‘short’, the active state cannot
be open, therefore the active state is closed.

47 K ohms
Active when open

Version 1.1 TX3-CX-1 Installation Manual 19
LT-6618 Copyright 2019
Two 22K ohm resistors are required for supervision.
Figure 11. Input - Supervised for Open and Short
Note: The active state cannot be an open state.
2.7.6 Alarm Delay
Alarm delay is a Configurator defined parameter that specifies the amount of
time before an input raises an alarm condition. For more information see LT-980
TX3-CX Card Access System Manual.
2.8 Outputs
There are 3 outputs, as shown in Figure 4. For details on programming the
outputs, see LT-995.
2.8.1 Outputs 1 and 2
Outputs 1 and 2 are relay contact programmable outputs with the following
characteristics:
• normally open (NO)
• normally closed (NC) available
• 30 VDC/1 A, 0.6 power factor
or
• 125 VAC/0.25 A, 0.6 power factor
Outputs 1 and 2 are configured as follows by default:
• Output 1: Lock. Connect this output to a door strike. When access is
granted, this output unlocks the door.
