I n t r o d u c t i o n
The UNC500 has been designed to take over the functionality of the Axiom NC100 (network controller),
an RC-2 (reader controller) and an LIF (local area network interface). The network interface can also
contain a POE (power over Ethernet) converter.
ULC-S319-05 III
*** For ULC-S319-05 III compliance, all wiring into the chassis mount panel’s cabinet must enter
through metal conduit. Also be sure to mount the panel in a protected area.
*** For ULC-S319-05 III compliance, the rack mount panel’s housing must have external tamper
switch to detect the housing’s removal from the rack. Also be sure to mount rack in a protected
area.
Battery Protection: Please note –To protect the battery from being drained during
shipping/storage, there is paper between the battery and the panel that must be removed before powering
up the controller.
Earth
The controller contains several layers of protection against induced high voltage transients from static
discharge, lightning, 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 [15meters]).
Although the UNC500 has multiple possible ground connection points, the ground connections are
normally made at the Host port (CH1). This leaves the ground connections at CH2 and CH3 ports
available for cable shield connections.
Communication
The UNC500 has three RS485 ports and an Ethernet 10/100 interface. Depending on the hardware
configuration all three channels may not be available. Communications from the host computer running
Axiom software can be achieved in the following ways; either via Ethernet through a socket interface or
via RS485 through a direct connection to a designated channel. The Ethernet interface may be single or
dual ported 10/100 Mbs, depending on how the board is configured. The UNC500’s RS485 channels 1,
2, or 3 may be programmed as ‘HOST’, ‘DNET’,’DNET2’, ‘UNC-NET’, or ‘CNET’. Use the DIP switch
to select baud rate for Host communications as 9600, 38400, 57600, or 115200.
Networks
There are three networks supported by the UNC500 these are:
1) Host Communications through the Ethernet or direct connection.
2) Device Communications for devices such as additional RC-2s starting at address 2, Alarm Keypads,
IOC-16 controllers, and PC100.
3) Controller Communications for controllers such as additional UNC500s or for NC100s via:
a. UNC-NET a protocol designed for RS485 communications between UNC500’s only.
b. CNET for connection with NC100’s (only available on CH3).

Outputs
There are four form C relays and four open collector outputs that can be programmed as general purpose
or default applications. Although the contacts are rated at 12 amperes at 125vac the surge protectors
prevent voltages greater than 40vac or 56vdc from being applied. The recommended use of the relays is
to provide isolated outputs for driving electric strikes or magnetic locks at a maximum voltage of 24v.
The open collector outputs are current limited to 100 milli-amperes direct current only.
Auxiliary Power
A thermal fuse protected power output rated at 500 milli-amps 12 - 14Vdc.
Inputs
There are eight inputs used for sensor connections. Four are configured as general purpose and four are
either programmed for default application or for general purpose. The software provides configuration
information used to decode the state of the contacts. The following table illustrates the seven circuit type
assignments. Note that when an input is armed it will only report alarm or restore states. All “normal”
states are translated to “restore” and all other states are translated to “alarm”.
Reader Interface
Two standard wiegand interfaces provide the following connections for typical proximity readers:
1) Thermal fuse protected power (500ma @12 - 14VDC).
2) Wiegand data interface.
3) Reader tamper input (s). Initially if open it will be ignored but once a short is connected it will
report a reader tamper alarm whenever the input is opened.
4) LED and beeper outputs are open collector current limited to 100ma.
OSDP readers are also supported.
Fuse Monitoring
Besides monitoring the battery voltage the UNC500 also monitors the input voltage (DC), auxiliary
voltage (aux) and the reader voltage (reader) and reports to the host whenever the state changes.
Diagnostic LED’s
Each RS485 circuit has a red and green LED to indicate when a signal is received or transmitted.
Diagnostic 1 is a bicolour LED when red indicates receiving data from the host and when green indicates
transmission of data.
Diagnostic 2 will flash slowly when connected to the host and quickly when not connected.
Diagnostic 3 will flash when a power problem such as a low battery or low auxiliary power is detected.
Tamper Detection
A tamper wire may be connected to JP1 located close to the power resistors on the board. A short to this
input is normal and an open is alarm.

The AxiomV™access control system consists of one or more network controllers (NC-100 or UNC500).
All information required by the controller is downloaded from the PC and stored locally non-volatile 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.
The UNC500 contains a powerful 32-bit micro-controller and has either 2Mb, 4Mb, or 8Mb of RAM.

Rack Mount
*** For ULC-S319-05 III compliance, all wiring into the chassis mount panel’s cabinet must enter
through metal conduit. Also be sure to mount the panel in a protected area.
*** For ULC-S319-05 III compliance, the rack mount panel’s housing must have external tamper

Power Options
Direct Connection to Power Supply
The UNC500 controller requires 13.8vdc @ 1.5A to be supplied from an external source.
POE
Power can also be provided if the unit has a POE option through the Ethernet cable. A
35W POE converter is required [AT compliant].
Battery Back-Up
The UNC500 has a built-in battery charger and battery monitor and can covert power
from POE or direct to maintain the battery. There is a 24 hour scheduled battery test that
is performed on the battery.
RS485 Applications
There are up to three RS485 ports that can be programmed to any application. The
default settings are (CH1) HOST, (CH2) D-NET and (CH2) UNC-NET.
Application name
Description
HOST
The Host port connects the UNC500 to a PC through an RS485
interface.
D-NET
The D-NET (Device Network) connects local device controllers
(RC-2, IOC-16, SafeSuite™Panels, NIRC2000, or NURC2000) to
the UNC500 controller on a high-speed bi-directional RS485
network. Connect CH2 on the UNC500 to CH1 on the first
device controller, and then connect it to CH1 on the next
device controller on the D-NET and so on. (see the D-NET
diagram on page16)
D-NET2
For legacy systems requiring class “A” redundant daisy
chaining.
UNC-NET
The UNC-NET (Controller Network) connects the UNC500
controller to other on a high-speed bi-directional RS485
network. CH3 on the master controller connects to CH3 on
the next UNC500 on the network or to CH1 on the next NC-
100 controller in the network (if the Arcnet option is added).
(See UNC-NET diagram on page16.)
DIP Switch Settings
The UNC500 DIP switch controls the device’s address and serial port baud rate. The
system must be powered down if the controller address is changed using DIP switches 1
through 5. DIP switch changes for a change in baud rate are processed immediately and
do not require a power down.
Note: To Reset Panel –All DIP switches must be off.

Master Controller
Each network must have a single unit designated as the master controller. The master
controller connects to the PC. Setting the DIP switch address to 1 will automatically
designate a unit as the master controller.
Slave Controller
All controllers addressed 2 through 15 are referred to as slave controllers.
Ethernet Secure Mode
When dip-switch 5 is on the IP locator program cannot locate the unit on the Ethernet and
therefore cannot make any changes or reset the unit.
