1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your TDSi GARDiS Controller door access control system.
There are 3 main types of GARDiS master controller, the GARDiS 1, GARDiS 2 and GARDiS 4.
GARDiS 1 is a 1-door controller with connections for 1-2* readers. GARDiS 2 is a 2-door
controller with connections for 2-4* readers. GARDiS 4 is a 4-door controller with
connections for 4-8* readers.
The GARDiS controller is operated independently and requires no separate software
installation. Configuration of the access control system is provided to the user via an
embedded web server that can be accessed from any compatible web browser.
The GARDiS controller can operate as a master controller with up to 10** extension
modules. Extension modules include slave GARDiS controllers that can allow capacity for
up to 44 doors, I/O modules allowing the monitoring and control of equipment and
wireless IP Locks***. More information on these extension modules will also be provided in
this manual along with installation guides.
This manual will guide you through the installation of GARDiS controllers.
* The upper limit requires TDSi readers for the Reverse LRC protocol (In/Out Readers).
Limited functionality is available with this configuration.
** Licensing dongle is required to allow more doors on the system.
*** Wireless IP Locks is limited to 10 doors.
2. Information and Recommendations
In accordance with the European directive UTE C00-200 incorporating directives
2004/108/CE, GARDIS complies with the following standards:
NF EN 50081-1 governing electromagnetic radiation
NF EN 50082-1 governing electromagnetic susceptibility
Wiring Recommendations
Cables used to connect readers, network and other devices must be installed in
accordance with the Level 2 (protected environment) instructions of NF EN 61000-4-4
standard.
Installation Recommendations
This product must be installed by a qualified company. Improper installation and use may
result in risk of electric shock or fire. Before carrying out the installation, read the technical
instructions and follow the product mounting recommendations.
Mains Power Supply Recommendations
When using mains power supply, once the power is turned off, all the internal capacitors
will discharge to a safe level after 60 seconds under normal conditions. However, in the
event of a power failure, the discharge may take a much longer time and appropriate
precautions must be taken before handling the product.

Power Test Connection
This input can be connected to a PSU Power Test output (active if the 220V is lost or if the
batter is faulty). When this input is active, the unit generates an event “Power Supply
Failure”.
Conditional
This is a configurable input. For example, this can be used to check an active alarm
before allowing a person entry OR can be used to check a sensor, such as vehicle
present/break glass sensor before allowing entry.

Cabling Information
Use the appropriate cabling for the lock equipment taking into account the distance and voltage
requirements. Please contact your cable supplier with your specification for more advice.
The lock suppressor must be connected as close as possible to the lock to avoid any
damage to the controller. A suppressor must be fitted at each lock (see above). Four
suitable suppressors (1N4007) are provided with each controller.
When using an external power supply for the locks, the lock suppressor must be connected
as shown on the wiring diagram above. For maximum reliability we recommend the use of
separate power supplies for locks. If using one supply for the controller and the lock(s) it
controls, no issue should occur provided the supply has sufficient output current and the
cabling distances do not result in significant voltage drops. Always run the power to the lock
in a separate cable.

Part Number: 5002-6050 Metal Case + PSU Single
9. Connection POE Power Supply
Part Number: 5002-6051 Metal case + POE Single
It is recommended the 802.3bt is used as standard as the source equipment to the PoE
module as this will provide the required current to operate controller and readers. When
installing the system, observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the source PSE (Power
sourcing equipment).
In the event of loss of the PoE source, the green LED light will turn off. Power will continue
to be delivered if a backup battery is connected to the system. When installing the
controller with an SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) backup battery, the ferrite supplied should be
fitted to the red and black leads with a single turn and secured with a cable tie.

10. Connecting a GARDiS Controller to
the Ethernet Network
Each GARDiS unit is preconfigured with a default IP Address. This is printed on a sticker on
the controller case. Defaults are stated below:
IP Address: 192.168.2.150
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To set a different IP Address, you must first connect to the unit using the default values and
login to the embedded web server.
Launch a web browser and enter the IP Address of the unit. The default logins are below:
Login: admin
Password: Located on the label of the unit.

Set Date and Time
Set the time on the unit to ensure events are reported at the correct time.
Log in to the unit. Go to Site Configuration and select the Date from the calendar. Enter
the current time.
Click Set Time.

11. Extending the System
To increase the number of doors or equipment in the system, extension units must be
purchased along with a license dongle to insert into the master unit.
The available extensions include the GARDiS 4+ and GARDiS I/O. The extension units may
be a mixture of both types of extensions and use the RS485 to daisy chain the units
together. A maximum of 10 extension units may be used.
License Dongle
The dongle will determine the total number of units permitted in the system. The image
below shows how to insert the purchased dongle.

14
GARDiS 4+ Extension Module
The GARDiS 4+ unit allows the access control system to be extended to contain more
doors. The master unit can connect up to a maximum of 10 extension units. The main
differences between a master unit and an extension unit is the master unit contains an
ethernet port and conditional triggers terminal block.

12. How to use 4-State Inputs
A 4-state input can detect the following situations:
•Active input
•Inactive input
•Open circuit (wire cut)
•Short circuit
To use this input type, you must add two 4.7KOhm resistors (supplied with the module) on
the wires loop detector (or another device). Refer to diagram below.
For all inputs (2- or 4-state), use module’s GND as common. For all outputs, ensure you use
supplied lock suppressors if electromagnetic devices are installed (Electric strike, door
magnet, relay, etc.…)
Each module input can be independently used in 2- or 4-state modes. These modes can
be configured from the embedded web server menu.
To adjust the detection level (if using another resistor value) each input can be calibrated
as well as adjusting the detection range using the configuration options within the
embedded web server.
