WARNING
Before installation, TURN OFF the external circuit breaker which supplies power to the
system.
Before connecting the device to the power supply, verify that the output voltage is within
specifications of the power supply.
Do not apply power to the system until after the installation has been completed.
Personalinjuryordeath could occur, and the equipmentcould bedamagedbeyond repair,
iftheseWARNINGS are not observed!
WARNING
Fire Safety and Liability Notice
Never connect card readers to any critical entry, exit door, barrier, elevator or gate without
providing an alternative exit in accordance with all fire and life safety codes pertinent to
the installation.These fire and safety codes vary from city to city and you must get
approval from local fire officials whenever using an electronic product to control a door or
other barrier. Use of egress buttons, for example, may be illegal in some cities.In most
applications, single action exit without prior knowledge of what to do is a life safety
requirement.Always make certain that any required approvals are obtained in writing.DO
NOT ACCEPTVERBAL APPROVALS,THEY ARE NOTVALID.
NexWatch never recommends using the PW-3000 or related products for use as a primary
warning or monitoring system. Primary warningormonitoringsystemsshouldalwaysmeet
local fire and safety code requirements.The installer must also test the system on a
regular basis and instruct the end user in appropriate daily testing procedures.Failure to
test a system regularly could make installer liable to the end user for damages if a
problemoccurs.
WARNING
EARTH groundall enclosures, for proper installation.
WARNING
Use suppressors on all door strikes.Use S-4 suppressors for installation.NexWatch
recommends only DC strikes.

PW-3000 Intelligent Controller PW3K1IC 9Installation Guide
TD1150 rev1101
Description
The Intelligent Controller is the heart of the PW-3000 and provides the real time
processing for the connected I/O interfaces. It holds the database for the subsystem
configuration and card holders, and the event log buffer in battery-backed memory.
Port 1 provides the standard connection to the host computer.
1. Port 1 may be set up as an RS-232 interface or an RS-485 interface. An optional
interface board (PW3K1EN) converts the RS-232 output of port 1 into an Ethernet port
capable of supporting TCP/IP. If this interface board is present, this port must be set
up as an RS-232 interface and Jumper J-14 must be removed.
2. Ports 2 & 3 areRS-485interfaces.
An on-board real time clock maintains the date and time, taking into account leap year
and accounting for global time zones and daylight savings time changes. The program is
stored in FLASH memory and may be downloaded through a serial port, allowing the
programto be changed without physically changingboard components.
Set Up
The controller hardware is configured with jumpers and a set of eight switches.These
jumpers/switches setup the memory chip size, port interface, end of line termination,
controller address, and baud rate. Please refer to the tables.

PW-3000 Intelligent Controller PW3K1IC 11Installation Guide
TD1150 rev1101
Power
The controller accepts 12VDC with an operating range of 10 to 16VDC and consumes
400mAofcurrent.
Locate power source as close to this board as possible. Connect power with minimum of
18AWG wires.
The addition of the PW3K1EN consumes an extra 150 mA of current.
The addition of the PW5K1M4 consumes less than 1 mA of extra current.
NOTE: POLARITY for 12VDC power is important.Make sure the +12VDC is connected
to the terminal labeled +12V and the return is connected to the terminal labeled
GND.
Communications
The controller communicates to the host through port 1.
Port 1 may use one of three communications specifications:
RS-232—When this port is selected as an RS-232 interface, the communication is a
direct point to point connection to a host computer port (only one PW3K1IC per computer
port), via direct connection or modem and this device acts as DataTerminal Equipment
(DTE).
RS-485—When this port is selected as an RS-485 interface, up to eight controller boards
can share one host computer port.
Ethernet—When the Ethernet option board is present, the port is set to the RS-232
setting and DIP switch 5 must be set to ON (handshaking enabled, along with JP14
removed).
The default selection for port 1 is RS-485. The default speed of this port is 38.4Kbps but
it can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if the line conditions or receiving equipment
require it (see jumper and DIP switch settings).
Ports 2 & 3 are RS-485 interfaces.These interfaces allow multi-drop communication up to
4,000 feet (1,250 m total per port).Use two twisted pairs (120Ω, 23pF minimum 24 AWG)
with shield for the communication.Install termination jumper only for end of line unit. The
default speed of each port is 38.4Kbps but can be downgraded to 19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if
the line conditions or receiving equipment require it (see jumper and DIP switch settings).
Up to 16 boards can be connected in any combination to ports 2 and 3.
ForWiring to an RS-232 port:
1. TXDindicatesTransmitandistheconductorofdatafromPW3K1ICtoanotherdevice.
2. RXD indicates Receive and is the conductor of data from another device
to the PW3K1IC.
3. RTS indicates RequestTo Send and conducts the signal that the PW3K1IC has
data to send.
4. CTS indicates ClearTo Send and conducts the signal that another device
is ready for data.
5. GND is the signal ground. The wiring for this signal is required and NOT optional.
This signal must NOT be tied to Chassis Ground.
6. Use 24 AWG shielded cable up to 25 feet.

12 PW-3000 Intelligent Controller PW3K1ICInstallation Guide
TD1150 rev1101
ForWiring to an RS-485 port:
1. TR+ is the plus side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
2. TR–is the negative side of the transmit and receive differential signal.
3. GND is the signal ground. The wiring for this signal is required and NOT optional.
This signal must NOT be tied to Chassis Ground.
4. Use 24 AWG low capacitance, two twisted-pair, shielded cable (Belden 9842 or
equivalent).

5. When daisy-chaining RS-485 portstogetherconnecttheTR+wires from the upstream
and downstream boards to theTR+ terminal and likewise, connect theTR–wires from
theupstream and downstream boards to theTR–terminal.
TheEthernet adapter board provides anRJ-45connectionfor the network. See the
installation guide for the PW3K1EN for instructions on mounting and connecting the board
to the PW3K1IC
Alarm Inputs
The two alarm inputs on this board are dedicated to the detection of cabinet tamper and
power fault monitoring. The normal (non-alarm) condition is closed contact.If these inputs
are not used, install a shorting wire between the signal terminal and the GND terminal to
simulate the non-alarm state. As the wiring between the alarm sensor and the input
terminals is typically contained within one enclosure, these inputs are not supervised.
Memory Backup Battery
A 3V Lithium battery backs up the configuration data and the event buffer.This battery
should be replaced annually or sooner if the cabinet is subjected to unusually high tem-
peratures.
Mounting Options
Thisboard can be mountedon-edge intherack-mountenclosureprovidedby NexWatch or
it can be mounted flat against any surface using standoffs under the mounting holes
provided in each of the four corners of this board. The functionality of this board does not
changewith the mounting selection.

Suggested Installation Sequence
1. Set Jumpers and the DIP-switch per this installation guide.
2. Install the PW3K1EN and/orPW5K1M4 optionboards per theappropriate
installationguide.
3. Mount this board in the appropriate enclosure—If this board is being mounted in a
rack the component side of the board is on right when facing the rack.
4. Connect the communications and power supply to the circuit boards with the Power
SupplyHarness.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECTTHE POWER SUPPLYTOTHE AC SOCKET UNTIL ALL
WIRING HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND RECHECKED.
5. Connect wiring to alarminputsensorsor install jumper wireas appropriate.
6. Connect communications wiring to I/O boards as appropriate.
7. Recheck wiring for correct connections and continuity.
8. Run communication wiring to PC, central station, modem or printer.
9. Recheck communication wiring for correct connections and continuity.
10. Connect thePowerSupply Cord forproper connections andpower.
