Chapter 1
Introducing Integra32™
The Integra32™system from RBH Access Technologies Inc. represents the latest in access
technology specifically designed for smaller applications. Its intuitive graphical interface allows
users to take advantage of the power of the Integra32™with a minimal amount of training.
The IRC-2000 Intelligent Field Panels utilize flash firmware for easy upgrades. The IRC-2000
panels use fully distributed intelligence for off-line operations. In addition to supporting two
card readers, each IRC-2000 Intelligent Field Panel also has eight fully supervised alarm inputs
along with eight outputs.
The PC is used for data entry, setting up the database, and monitoring activity on the system.
Once the database is downloaded to the controllers, the PC is not required for system operation.
Should the PC be powered down, the IRC-2000 controller will perform all access and other
control functions, including logging up to 1,400 events. When the connection is restored, the log
will then be reported to the PC.
Integra32™Security Management software runs on Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows
2000 PCs and is Y2K century compatible. Up to sixteen IRC-2000s (Intelligent Field Panels)
can be connected together, for a maximum capacity of thirty-two readers. The system also
supports a maximum of two thousand cardholders.
Connection to the PC can be by RS232, (for single control systems) or by RS485 (maximum total
wiring distance is four thousand feet) for multiple control systems.
Other features include the capacity for forty holidays, one hundred and twenty-eight time zones,
as well as handicap access by cardholder. High security and lock/unlock modes are also
supported. Each panel can have up to sixty-four input/output links, and the system is capable of
holding two hundred and fifty-five pre-programmed operator commands. Both local and timed
Antipassback are also supported.

Intelligent Field Panel
The Integra32™access control system consists of one or more controllers (IRC-2000). All
information required by the controller is downloaded from the PC and stored locally in flash
memory. This information includes configuration data, cardholder records, access levels,
schedules and all other records necessary for the operation of the system. The controller operates
independent of the PC and all decision-making is performed locally, even in the event of total
power loss (while operating on battery backup).

Connection Details
Power
The IRC-2000 requires 9 to 14 volts DC and draws about 250 ma.
PC/ Modem Interface
The PC/Modem interface connects the IRC-2000 to a PC or modem through an RS232,
TCP/IP Ethernet, or an RS485 (2-wire) interface.
Inputs
There is one common terminal for each set of four inputs (one for inputs one to four and
another for inputs five to eight). Seven different input types are supported (including
normally open, normally closed, one resistor and two resistor configurations).
Outputs
Four of the eight programmable outputs are dry contact relays (output rated for 2A @
24V DC). These are designated as outputs one to four. The other four outputs are solid
state switches (open collector to ground capable of sinking 100ma).
Readers
Readers are connected to non-programmable outputs BUZ, RED, & GRN, as well as data
inputs D0 and D1. Both readers have their own connection terminals, except they share
power terminals (GND and +12V).
Earth
The controller contains several layers of protection against induced high voltage
transients from static discharge, lightening and power line spikes. In order for this
protection to be fully effective, a good connection to earth ground is essential. Wire this
connection to a metal cold water pipe or similar structure. Do not connect directly to the
AC earth. Use 16 AWG or heavier cable and keep the length as short as possible (less
than 50 feet).

DIP Switch Settings
The IRC-2000’s DIP switches control a number of operating parameters including the device
address and serial port baud rate. The controller must be powered down to accept any changes in
the DIP switch settings. Use DIP switches one through five to set the controller address.
Switches six and seven set the communication baud rate, and switch eight is used to set the
connection type (modem or direct).

PC Connection
The PC serial port used to connect to the IRC-2000 panels is assigned under the Communication
Port Setup screen in the Integra32™software. The baud rate is set by default to 9600 for direct
connection to the PC using the standard RS232 interface. The RS232 interface can only be used
in single control systems. The distance between the PC and controller can not be greater than
150 feet (50 meters), or 30 feet (10 meters) if the baud rate is increased to 38,400.
For distances greater than 150 feet (50 meters), or if multiple IRC-2000 controls are being used,
the RS485 interface must be used. RS485 is built into the IRC-2000 controller but is not part of
the standard PC. The PC must be fitted with either an RS485 serial card or an external RS232 to
RS485 serial port converter.

RS485 Connection
The IRC-2000 controller supports two a wire RS485 interface. Jumpers JP1, JP2, and JP3 are to
be set on the furthest two pins from the terminal block for RS485 operation.
The RS485 interface allows the distance between the controller and the PC to be extended up to
4000 feet (1200 meters). RS485 requires one twisted pair shielded cable. The last controller
must have the ‘terminator’ jumper in place, also ensure that the PC end is properly terminated. If
not provided on board, add a 130-ohm resistor across both A/B connections at the PC end.

Controller Network
Up to sixteen IRC-100 controllers can be linked together and connected into a single
communication port on the PC. The RS485 interface must be used when multiple controllers are
connected. Connect the TX/A terminal of one controller to the TX/A terminal next one, and
connect the RX/B terminal to the RX/B terminal. Terminate the last controller with jumper JP4.

Status LED's
Computer/Modem Port
The computer/modem port has two LEDs to show the flow of data between the IRC-2000
controller and PC or modem. The red RX LED (LED20) flashes when the controller
receives data. The green TX LED (LED19) flashes when the controller transmits data.
If the controller is connected directly to the PC, the status LED's flash continuously.
Run LED
The run LED (LED14) flashes to indicate the controller is not communicating, it is on
solid when running normally, and off if power is missing.

Input & Output Connections
Inputs
The IRC-2000 has eight fully supervised inputs, two sets of four each with its own common. All
inputs are individually programmable from the PC. The IRC-2000 employs digital filtering to
eliminate the effect of interference on the input loops and verifies all loop changes before
reporting to the controller.
Each input can report up to four states; Open, Short, Abnormal, and Normal. For example, if the
circuit type is programmed as ‘2 resistor normally closed’, 1k represents a normal state and 2k
represents an abnormal state. Zero ohms is a short and very high resistance is an open.
RTE (Request to Exit)
Inputs programmed as RTE will be connected to push buttons mounted on the door or to
motion detectors mounted near the door. Activating the RTE input will unlock the door.
The RTE can be disabled by time zone. Multiple inputs can be programmed as RTEs for
the same door.
DC (Door Contact)
Inputs programmed as door contacts monitor the state of the door. Forced entry, door
held open alarm and door held open warning require monitoring of the door state.
Input Circuit Types
The IRC-2000 supports seven different input circuit types ranging from no resistor for low
security applications to two resistors normally closed circuits where the highest security is
required.

Outputs
The IRC-2000 has eight outputs, four relay outputs and four solid state outputs. Outputs 1, 2, 3,
and 4 are dry contact relays capable of switching 2 amps @ 30 VDC. Outputs 5, 6, 7, and 8 use
electronic drivers and can switch up to 100ma. All outputs are programmable from the PC as
‘On State’ energized or ‘On State’ de-energized. ‘On State’ de-energized outputs are used for
fail-safe operation where it is essential that the output return to a safe state when the system fails
due to power loss, communications failure or fire.
Electronic outputs are ‘switched negative’ which means that they switch the power negative to
the terminal. When the output is off, the output terminal is electronically disconnected. Outputs
can be programmed for lock or handicap operation (as described below), or they can be used as
general-purpose outputs.
Lock Output
The lock output is used to activate or deactivate the locking device on the door. It can
apply power to door strikes or remove power from magnetic locks.
Handicap Output
This output is used to drive door operators. It turns on one second after the Lock Output
is turned on, and stays on until the Lock Output is turned off. Only designated
cardholders will activate this output.
Electronic Output Connection Diagram
Switching Inductive Devices (Locks, Bells)
Exercise caution when switching an inductive load. Inductive devices include external
relay, solenoids, bells and door locks. All of these devices generate extremely high
voltage spikes (several thousand volts) when power is applied or removed and possible
disruption of the operation could occur if this interference gets on to the electronic
circuit board.

Chapter 1
Introducing Integra32™
Integra32™Hardware Guide RBH Access Technologies Inc.
16
This interference can be suppressed by placing a diode (1N4004 or similar) across the
lock or other inductive device being switched. Connect the diode cathode (end with
band) to the positive terminal and the other end to the negative terminal. The diode must
be placed at the device being switched and not at the controller.
Relay Output Operation
Lock Output
Any output can be used to control a magnetic lock or door strike. Multiple outputs can
be set to the same function (outputs one and two can both be Lock outputs for reader A).
Magnetic Lock Connection Diagram
For magnetic locks, the relay should be configured from the PC as ‘On State’ de-
energized for fail-safe operation. If power fails (AC and battery), the power to the
magnetic lock is removed and the door is opened.
