SYSTEM WIRING CONNECTIONS
Connecting to Power:
Connect the Red to power positive (+).
Connect the Black to power negative (-).
Connecting to Locks (two options):
Option1: Using a Strike Lock
Connect the White to power positive (+).
Connect the Pink to the Strike lock power positive (+) or the normally open (NO).
Connect the Strike lock power negative (-) to the power negative (-).
Option 2:Using a Magnetic Lock
Connect the Aqua to power positive (+).
Connect the Pink to the Magnetic lock power positive (+) or the normally close (NC).
Connect the Magnetic lock power negative (-) to the power negative (-).
Connecting an Unlocking Button to Open the Door from the Inside:
Connect the Orange to the button NO for Strike lock or NC for Magnetic lock.
Connect the button negative (-) or common to power negative (-).
Connecting to Button 2:
Connect the Yellow to the button NO for Strike lock or NC for Magnetic lock.
Connect the button negative (-) to power (-).
Connecting the Door Status Detection:
Connect the Brown to the sensor positive (+).
Connect the sensor negative (-) to power negative (-).
*The Door Status Detection (DSD) will automatically lock the door once a connection is
detected. When a person comes in, it will not wait for the delay time to lock the door but
locks it automatically when connection is detected. This is a good way to prevent someone
coming in from behind a person who has access.
PROGRAMMING & OPERATION
*All programming need to go to Setup Mode first.
Two-zone relays can be programmed for opening the lock. Up to 1000 user cards and
correlative codes can be stored into ZONE 1 and up to 10 user cards or codes can be stored
into ZONE 2. In addition the ZONE 1 can be programmed for 3 modes to open the lock: only
the card access, both the code and card access, or combined access. The ZONE 2 could be
programmed for door bell.
