PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing Openpath hardware, perform a customer site survey to determine
the following:
lHow many entriesneed to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and/or elevator
floors)
lWhether you're using legacy wiring or new wiring
lWhat kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms,
and door contact sensors will be used and their power requirements.
lWhether you're providing backup batteries for the SDCs. See SELECTING A
BACKUP BATTERY .
lWhether you're supporting a legacy access control panel for mobile gateway.
Installation
NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
An Ethernet connection with DHCP must be used to connect the SDC to the Local Area
Network (LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the
Openpath system. Openpath uses the following outbound ports:
lTCP port 443
lUDP port 123
Note:If using an external DNS server, outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.

Version 1.5 © Openpath 2021 4
To support Wi-Fi unlocking from the mobile app, the SDC's inbound TCP port 443 must
be available from within the LAN. Inbound port forwarding on the router, firewall, or
NATdevice is not required.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Openpath SDC can be powered with PoE, PoE+, or an external 12-24V supply. Use
an external power supply for backup or if PoE is not available—24V required if locking
hardware requires 24V.
Operating Voltage: 12-24VDC
Input Rating: 12V @ 2A (min) or 24V @ 1A (min)
Output Ratings:
lPower Out connector can supply up to 100mA @ 12V or 50mA @ 24V
l2 reader ports, max power output: 250mA @ 12V each
l2 relays, max power output:
oPoE: Max 3W combined output (e.g. 250mA @ 12V or 125mA @ 24V)
oPoE+: Max 9W combined output (e.g. 750mA @ 12V or 375mA @ 24V)
SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY
While not required, Openpath recommends having a backup battery in case of power
outages. The size of batterydepends on your setup and how long you want to power
the system.
Table 1 Power requirements (24V)
SDC .3A
Smart Reader (2) 0.25A
Locking hardware (while engaged) 0.25A--0.5A
Assuming an external 24V power supply, an SDC configured with two Openpath
Readers and locking hardware uses about 1.1 Amps. To keep the system running for 3
hours with all entries engaged, you need 1.1A x 3 hours = 3.3 AH, so two 12V 4AH sealed
lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries in series.

Version 1.5 © Openpath 2021 5
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

WIRING OPENPATH READERS
Openpath Readers and SDCs communicate via RS-485. The following wire types are
compatible, listed in the order of preference which impacts distance.
lShielded CAT6A (recommended, additional two pairs can be used for sensors)
lShielded CAT6
lShielded RS485 w/22-24AWG (lower gauge, thicker wire is better)
lShielded CAT5
lUnshielded CAT6
lUnshielded CAT5
lShielded 22/6
lUnshielded 22/6
Ideally, use one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and one twisted pair for +B and
-A (data).
WIRING INFORMATION

Version 1.5 © Openpath 2021 7
Figure 2 Smart Reader pigtail description
Recommended maximum cable length: 300 ft (91 m) with CAT6 or 500 ft (152 m) if
two wire pairs are used for GND and VIN (power).
For shielded wiring:Connect one side of the drain wire (the shield around the wires)
to the GND terminal on the SDC. Both the shield and the GND wire can share the same
GND terminal. Do not connect the other side of the shield to anything.
For standard reader installation:We recommend that you install a 1-Gang 20 CU
box in order to flush-mount the reader. Alternatively, the reader may also be surface
mountedwith the included back plate.
Note: For elevators, all relays and readers must be connected to the same SDC. If you
need more than four access controlled floors or readers, add the Openpath Elevator
Expansion Module.
WARNING:Always remove power from the SDC and locking hardware when wiring
readers and other devices. Failure to do so can damage the SDC.

RESETTING THE SDC
SOFT RESET
To soft reset the SDC, disconnect power from the SDC, wait 10 seconds, then
reconnect the power.
HARD RESET
WARNING:Only hard reset the SDC if absolutely necessary and if instructed by
Openpath. This will clear all of the data off of the SDCand will require
reprovisioning.
To hard reset the SDC:
1. Disconnect power from the SDC
2. Hold down the ADMINbutton for 15 seconds (see Figure 6
3. While still holding down the ADMINbutton, reconnect the power, and continue to
hold the button for another 15 seconds until the Status LEDturns yellow, then
release
4. Wait until the Status LED turns blue before PROVISIONINGSTEPS
LEGACY WIRING
Sometimes legacy wiring (unshielded and straight through, rather than shielded
twisted pair, often 22-6) results in slower connections and dropped packets between
the Openpath Reader and SDC. To remedy this, you can switch GND and VIN with +B
and -A connections on the SDC and readers to ensure the data pair (+B and -A) are
using the alternate pair of legacy wires.
