Before you begin | Installation location guidelines
Installation location guidelines
When selecting the location where you are going to mount the Reader Controller, a few guidelines should be observed.
1. In humid environments, a drip-loop should be formed in the Reader Controller’s cables, before the cables enter the unit.
2. The Reader Controller should be protected from extreme heat and sunlight. It is rated for conditions up to 151 F. A direct
southern exposure, in the Southwest area of the United States may exceed these ratings.
3. The cables extending from the back of the Reader Controller’s field wiring cable is available in a two standard lengths (10'
or 25' [3 m or 7.62 m]). The door wiring must terminate within that distance or less than 98' (30m) from the Reader
Controller.
4. The wall mounting templates are shown in Figure 1.1: RC11 Mounting and Figure 1.2: RC15/RCK15 Mounting.
5. The selected location should meet ADA requirements. Check local regulations for more information.

Before you begin | Reader controller reset button
Reader controller reset button
The reset button is located on the back of the Reader
Controller. It can be used for two different types of
resets.
ÎThe Reader Controller must be connected to the
network before initiating reset.
Network reset
Press and hold the reset button until one green LED
flash and one short beep, (approx. five secs.) then
release. Successful network reset is indicated by one
LED flash and one short beep. A network reset
reestablishes the network connection using the current
network settings. The certificate file and domain
routing information is reestablished prior to reforming
the connection to the host access control system.
Factory default reset
Press and hold the reset button until two green LED
flashes and two beeps (approx. 10 secs.), then release.
Successful factory default reset is indicated by a long
steady green light and long beep. A Factory Default
Reset (FDR) will return the Reader Controller settings
to the original settings as shipped from the factory.
Removes configurations, databases, and requires the
lock to be re-captured. A FDR will not remove the device from your ENGAGE account.

Wiring
Powering the reader controllers
• A direct connection to a power source is required.
• Reader controllers can be powered with 12 volts DC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power and the supply must be regulated.
NOTICE
Never connect 24VDC to the Reader Controller. 24V will
damage the device and will void the unit’s warranty.
Power over ethernet (PoE) option
PoE allows one cable to supply data and
power to the Reader Controller, which in
turn can then supply 12VDC to the door’s
electronic lock.
If your network switches do not support
PoE, then a PoE Injector can be used to
augment the switch’s output with PoE
power. A PoE injector is normally located
close to your existing network hub/
switch, and the PoE Injector itself is
plugged directly into a standard AC
outlet, or for extra reliability, a UPS with
battery backup.
A standard CAT5/6 cable is then run
between the PoE source (Injector or
switch) and the Reader Controller which
will be located right next to the door. The
CAT5/6 cable can be up to 100 Meters
(328 feet) long, including all patch cables
and patch panels.
Supplying 12 VDC to door
components from the PoE
powered Reader Controller
When the Reader Controller is powered
by PoE, the reader can supply 0.6 amps
@12 VDC power for external components.
This DC power is available via two field
wiring wires.
The red field wiring is typically used to control the door’s lock. The red wire’s 12VDC output will be activated/deactivated when
the reader is operating the door’s lock. This connection has a built-in current limiting feature to prevent the lock from consuming
too much power.
The orange field wiring provides a source of continuously-available 12VDC power for other desired devices.

Lock wiring using PoE
The Reader Controller supports a simplified configuration when PoE is
being used to supply the lock’s power.
1. Connect the red wire on the Reader Controller to the positive lead
of the electric lock. See Figure 2.4: Typical fail-secure door lock
wiring
2. Connect the negative lead of the lock to the black wire on the
Reader Controller.
3. See Managing inductive load challenges on page 20 for more
info regarding the use of the BackEMF diode.
Door sensor wiring
Connecting the Reader Controller to a door sensor allows the host
access control system to detect if the door is ajar. Then the host access
control system can create alarms based on the door’s state.
First, connect one terminal of the door sensor to the reader's blue wire.
Then connect the door sensor's other terminal to the Reader
Controller's common ground wire (black).

Wiring | Advanced Security Module (ASM) wiring
Advanced Security Module (ASM) wiring
The Reader Controller has an optional ASM,
which allows you to isolate the door’s lock
control circuitry on the secure side of the
building.
The ASM contains a form-C relay with
dry-contacts that are rated for 3 amps of current
@ 30 Volts. It can also be used in cases where
the Reader Controller is switching an externally
supplied voltage or an external control signal.
Examples of such usages include operating a
24VDC lock, or switching a logic signal for a
garage door opener.
Two methods of connecting the ASM are shown.
Figure 2.6: ASM with Reader Controller
supplying PoE power shows powering both the
lock and the ASM with the Reader controller’s
PoE power. Figure 2.7: ASM with lock running
on 24V external power shows powering the
ASM with the Reader controller’s PoE power
output, and the lock with an external 24 volt
power supply.
ASM Wire Conductor Preparation:
Strip back the wire insulation: 0.25" to 0.281" (6
mm to 7 mm).
Acceptable single conductor sizes: 26 gauge to
15 gauge
Acceptable two conductors sizes: 26 gauge to 15
gauge
ÎNote for multi-stranded conductors: Avoid
allowing any stray wire strands from
contacting the adjacent terminal block
connection.
Twist the multi-strands together prior to
insertion. Lightly solder-tinning the exposed wire
can help prevent stray strands.

Configuring communications
The Reader Controller can communicate with a variety of access control soware platforms. Contact your sales associate for a
complete list. The reader controllers communicate over the network to the host system. Below are best practices on this
configuration.
Reader controllers to host soware
ÎMany other Ethernet network topology permutations exist. This is the most common Ethernet configuration used by
Schlage customers.
This is the simplest type of network connection. The Reader Controller is an IOT-style device that requires minimal network
configuration to function. The physical access control partner’s host system provides a cloud instance of the host soware. The
reader controllers must be configured to connect to host soware. The ENGAGE Mobile Application provides the interface to
capture and commission a unit with the initial configurations required to connect to the host soware. The following
configurations are needed to direct the Reader Controller to connect to the host soware:
ÎNotice: Prior to capturing and commissioning, the reader controlled must be fully installed in its intended location
(including cover).
• WebSocket Server URL
• Certificate Authority Server URL
Addressing: The recommended best-practices is to let the local network’s DHCP service assign the IP Address to each reader.
As an alternate, you can manually assign the reader’s IP Address. To allow the reader to successfully reach the host soware,
the following setting are required:
• Static IP Address that is valid on the local subnetwork
• IP Address of the local subnetwork’s gateway.
• Subnet Mask
• DNS server’s IP Address
• Alternate DNS server’s IP Address
Here are a couple guidelines to follow to assure that your network’s configuration will support the Schlage access system.
• The Reader Controller is a standard “network appliance.” Standard TCP/IP networking rules apply.
• DHCP Configuration
• If the reader controllers are to be le on DHCP it is strongly recommended to use reservations, so the IP address does
not need to be renewed.
• Network Configuration
• A common best-practice is to place the reader controllers in a dedicated subnet
• The PoE switch should have enough power to run all ports and account for in rush. (IE. A switch restart which would
cause all readers to restart.)

16 • Schlage • Reader controller
Appendix A: Power options
PoE Power Budget Calculations
When planning an installation using PoE, you need to validate that the PoE source (PoE Injector or PoE equipped Network
Switch) supplying the PoE power is sized properly for all the attached PoE devices. To do this, you total up the power draw (in
watts) of the PoE connections, and compare that total power draw to the rated capacity of the PoE source.
When the Reader Controller is dual powered there may be an increased number of power audits. If the 12VDC regulated power
supply voltage fluctuates above 12.1VDC the Reader Controller will transition from the PoE source to the DC power supply,
resulting in an audit.
Likewise when the DC power supply drops below 12.1VDC the Reader Controller will transition from the DC power supply to the
PSE, resulting in another audit.
Table 4.1: Expected PoE power draws of the reader controllers
Door Location Configuration PoE Power Requirement *
Reader controller 2.65 W
Reader controller with Electronic Lock (300 mA @ 12V) 6.26 W
Reader controller with Electronic Lock (600 mA @ 12V) 9.85 W
* Ethernet cabling power losses not included. Losses range from being negligible for short Cat5/6
cables, up to about 16% for 100 meter Cat5/6 cables.
To meet the Reader Controller’s variable PoE power requirements, the Reader Controller will classify itself with the PoE source
as a “Class 0” PoE device. The power usage of a Class 0 device can range between 0.4 to 13.0 watts at the device (up to 15.4
watts from the PoE source).
Some network PoE equipment will budget and allocate it’s distribution of PoE power based upon the maximum power usage of
the each attached device’s classification. If your network equipment uses this power provisioning technique, then you should
budget 15.4 watts for each Reader Controller. Such network PoE Equipment may allow you to manually configure the amount of
power that should be allocated to each device. Configuring the PoE equipment for an allocation of 3.0 watts or 11.0 watts per
connection would be appropriate. When powering from PoE or PoE+, in order for the system to be UL294 V7 compliant, the PoE
injector or end point must be compliant to UL294 or UL294B standards.
Using PoE over longer cable distances:
The Reader Controller can be powered via PoE on cable runs up to 328' (100 m) long (the standard Ethernet cable limit).
For Reader Controller locations that have longer cable runs (> 164' [50 m]), extra care should be given to the planning and
installation of the network cabling. The PoE power delivery system will running at about 80% of the allowable capacity, when
powering a 600mA lock over a 100 meter cable run.
For these long cable run installations, here are some items to focus on:
• Cabling:
• Use high-quality Ethernet cabling (Cat 5e or Cat6). Please note that the power loss over a Cat 6 cable is about 30%
less than the power loss on a Cat5e cable
• Cable Length. The 100 meter limit needs to include any patch cords and patch panels.
• Follow IEEE/TIA installation best practices.
• PoE Source
• The PoE Source (PoE Network switch or PoE Injector) meets the IEEE 802.3af standard.
• The PoE Source is properly sized to supply 15.4 watts/port. (Cabling power loses can be up to 2.5 watts/cable)

Appendix A: Power options | Additional power options
Additional power options
Most installations will use PoE for the Reader Controller and door locks to control a door using a single, standard network cable.
There are many additional options available if the door location requires more power than a standard PoE-powered Reader
Controller can provide.
The different options require different configurations of the supporting equipment and/or building wiring. Table 4.2: Power
option configurations and Figure 4.1: Power options describes some of these power options.

Dual power sources
Typical Reader Controller install
with:
• Redundant power supplies
• Input power: PoE
• Input power: 12VDC
Solution highlights
• Improve the ACS fault-tolerance
design by supplying the Reader
Controller with electrical power
from two independent power
sources.
• With this design, if the Reader
Controller's connection to the
PoE nework switch is lost, the
Reader Controller will
automatically begin to draw its
power from the DC power
source.
Installation tips

Wiring two readers to one lock
If you are wiring both sides of the door to control IN and OUT access, then
you will have the special condition of wiring two reader controllers to a
single locking mechanism.
The “Inside” Reader Controller controls the door, and is wired to the door’s
components, such as the lock and door-sense switch. Use the following
steps to cause the “outside” Reader Controller to activate the REX input on
the “Inside” Reader Controller.
Steps
ÎFigure 5.1: Two readers to one lock wiring
1. Wire the “Inside” reader normally
2. Connect an ASM to the “Outside” reader
3. Connect the “Inside” reader’s REX input to the “NO” terminal of the
ASM.
4. Connect the “Inside” reader’s black wire to the Common terminal of the
ASM.
5. If the door also has a REX device, wire the REX device “in parallel” to
the ASM.
Programming
“Inside” Reader Controller must be programmed to activate the lock upon a
REX input event.

Appendix B: Additional wiring considerations | Managing inductive load challenges
Managing inductive load challenges
Most door latches use a relay coil that powers up and
down, when the door is unlocked and locked. When
this happens, a pulse of electrical energy is produced
by the lock’s coil. This pulse is called back EMF, and
can interfere with the reader’s operation.
Switching off a typical 12 VDC relay coil can produce
a back EMF pulse of 300 volts or more. If this voltage
pulse is allowed to flow back into the reader, it can
cause the reader to “brown out” and the reader will
reboot.
Figure 5.2: Inductive load control (two options
shown) shows a solution. You can virtually eliminate
back EMF by installing a transient suppression
device (diode). Each Reader Controller is supplied
with a diode assembly, which simplifies the
installation process. A standard diode, from any
electronic supply store, can also be used. Always
check that the diode is correctly rated for the circuit
voltage. For optimum performance, the diode should
be installed at the lock or close to the lock. Standard
diodes have a stripe-band marking on one side. That
side of the diode should be connected to the “+” wire
of the lock circuit.
Protect the Digital Output
Which type of transient suppressor should you
install? This depends mainly on the type of inductive
load being switched. Some locks have Back EMF
protection built into the lock itself.
For Back EMF in low voltage DC applications, a
1N4007 diode will suce.
However, for protection against other transient
voltages (i.e. lightning), we recommend using a
fast-switching transient voltage suppressor.
