Mountin 1 Door Systems
Using the provided mounting bracket, the 1 door controller can be mounted vertically or hori ontally in a UL listed enclosure with
an integrated tamper switch, that is located in a secure location. The aluminum heat sink should face away from the mounting
surface with a minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm) of clearance above the heat sink. The temperature in the mounting location must be
within the system's specified limits.
1. Run all wires to the controller's location and label the wires according to their use.
2. Locate the enclosure for the 1 door controller on the wall and level. Mark the mounting holes on the wall
and remove the enclosure and install anchors appropriate for the type of wall and mounting conditions.
3. DO NOT DRILL the mounting holes while the enclosure is in place on the wall. Dust and debris from drilling
will contaminate and damage the electronics.
4. Partially insert mounting screws into the top two mounting holes and hang the enclosure on the screws.
Check for level, insert the lower screws and tighten all four mounting screws.
5. Using the provided mounting bracket as a template, locate the bracket in the enclosure and mark the location of the
mounting screws. The key holes in the bracket are si ed for #6 pan head self tapping screws. Drill the holes for the
mounting screws and partly thread the screws into the holes. Clean any debris from drilling to prevent damage to the
electronics. Place the controller into the mounting bracket and hang on the mounting screws. Check for level and
tighten the mounting screws.
6. Run the wires through the knockout holes and connect to the appropriate terminals (see following sections of the
manual for wiring details).
7. Connect the tamper switch to the controller's tamper inputs.
The followin shows the controller's features and wirin components.

Powerin On and Connectin to a Network
Controllers must be located in a secure area and connected to a network that is protected by a security system
(firewall, etc.). Note: a Static IP address should be used hen a controller is configured as a server controller.
Client controllers may use DHCP.
In most cases, the controllers IP address will have to be changed to allow the controller to be recogni ed by the
local network. The controller's IP address is changed as follows.
1. Connect a programming computer directly to the Ethernet port of the controller. A standard CAT-5 cable is
used for direct connection. A crossover cable is not required.
2. Assign a static IP address to the computer of 192.168.0.10.
3. The factory default IP address of the controller is 192.168.0.250. Open a web
browser, such as Google Chrome, and enter the default IP address into the
address bar.
TIP: As an alternative to directly connecting a cable, the provided IP Installer utility can be
used to change the controller's IP address.
4. The controller's login page is displayed as shown. To login enter the default User
ID: admin and default PW: admin
5. Controllers can be licensed as a server or a client. After first time
login, the license page is displayed. To get a license key, first
click on the Edit button. On the next page, click on A, the Get
License Key for a SERVER or click on B, the Get Client Key for
a CLIENT. Click OK to confirm and the license key will be auto
populated. Finish by clicking C, Apply License Key and the
controller will restart.
NOT : The controller needs to access the
Internet to obtain a license key.
6. When the controller is licensed for a server, after logging in, the system configuration Wi ard is started. The
Wi ard is a guide that can be used to collect the basic information required to set up a system. The network
settings can be configured in the Wi ard or by browsing to the Network Configuration.
7. The network configurations may be also accessed through the Sitemap by first clicking the icon at the
bottom of the page, then clicking IP Address under Network Settings.
8. After entering the network information, click Save & Reboot and the
controller will reboot. Typically rebooting will take less than 2 minutes.

programming computer, the
controller is ready for the local
network.
