Important information
When installing or working with any Identiv controllers, line modules, or input/ output devices, it is recommended to follow these rules:
It is recommended to locate the Controller in a safe and secure area. An environmentally managed room is not required as long as the temperature ranges don’t exceed the Controller’s specifications.
Make sure power is off before installing or connecting any part of the physical access control system.
Connect power to either a dedicated 24VDC supply or PoE+ source after all other devices have been properly installed, wired, and connected.
Follow cable specifications for the controller, reader, line module, and lock installation to minimize any related cabling problems. Major cable manufacturers offer cable that meets Identiv’s specs of common, low-voltage, noise-resistant cable.
Cable splices can cause trouble, try to avoid them. Make sure you measure your runs and order sufficient cable for unspliced runs. If splicing is required, solder the splices together and restore (heat shrink) the cable insulation. Make all terminations accurately and neatly to prevent any ‘whiskers’ from shorting between lines at terminal blocks and connectors.
Label each cable run and each individual wire. Make sure you don’t cross cables at splices or junctions.
Carefully lay, tie, and dress cables to the controller, power systems, and reader.
It is recommended to allow for service loops.
It is recommended to install the controllers on the building’s emergency power circuits and use Uninterruptable Power Systems wherever possible.

To avoid possible damage to your IDENTIV EG-2 Controller, make sure to power off the device before adding or removing any part of the physical access control system. |

Typical installation instructions and recommendations for wiring and powering the IDENTIV EG-2
Powering the Device
| Note |
|---|
Due to the power supply limitations, POE+ it should only be used for devices controlling a single door with a single reader. |
IDENTIV EG-2, which is packaged in a compact plastic case, can be powered by 24VDC power from an external power supply or PoE+ (providing a nominal 25.5 Watts).
Direct Power
Minimum wiring recommendations
Power Supply | 24VDC, 120W |
Recommended Wire Size | 18AWG, 2 Conductor |
Maximum Wire Length | 20ft (6m) |
Shield | Shielding not required |
Note: PoE and dedicated power should never be used at the same time. When using dedicated power, ensure the Ethernet cable is either connected to a non-PoE switch or that PoE power has been disabled to the IDENTIV EG-2 device.
PoE+
Minimum wiring recommendations
PoE Source | PoE+ (25W per port) 802.3at Type 2 |
Distance | 328ft (100m) |
CAT Type | CAT 5e or Above |
Shield | Shielding not required |
Note: PoE and dedicated power should never be used at the same time. When using dedicated power, ensure the Ethernet cable is either connected to a non-PoE switch or that PoE power has been disabled to the IDENTIV EG-2 device.
Reader Connections
IDENTIV EG-2can manage two supervised doors with only an entry reader or a single supervised door with an entry reader and an optional exit reader. The IDENTIV EG-2 includes two Wiegand/OSDP reader terminals.
Wiegand Reader Connections
There are two 7-pin Wiegand/OSDP reader terminals for connecting readers or keypads which have a Wiegand interface. For an entry reader and an exit reader, both with a Wiegand interface, use one of the reader terminals for the entry reader and the other reader terminal for the exit reader.

Data1 | Input | Wiegand Data1 |
Tamper | Input | Reader Tamper Input |
Data0 | Input | Wiegand Data0 |
LED | Output | Reader LED control |
12V DC | Power | 12VDC reader power (500mA Max) |

I/O | Input/Output | Configurable input / output pin |
Wiring Recommendations
Power Supply | 12VDC (500mA Max) |
Recommended Wire Size | 18AWG, 8 Conductor Twisted Pair |
Maximum Wire Length | 500ft (150m) |
Shield | Yes |
Note: If the wire is unshielded and/or non-twisted pair, external electromagnetic noise may be coupled from the surrounding environment.
Ideally, use 8 x 18 AWG braided cores - 4 twisted pairs - overall shield
The shield wire should be connected to the Controller's Reader Ground connection. At the reader side, the shield wire should be connected to the reader drain connection if available. If reader drain is not provided, trim shield wire and leave it unconnected.
OSDP Reader Connections

Door Connections
There are two 6-pin terminals, one for Door1 Relay and Door1 DTLM Input and one for Door2 Relay and Door2 DTLM Input.
Door Relay Connections
The Door Relay typically requires a connection between an output device (such as a door lock/strike) and an output relay located on the IDENTIV EG-2 Controller. An example installation is shown in the figure below.

Maximum Contact Rating | 2A |

Door Relay Pinout
Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|
NO | Door Relay - Normally Open |
COM | Door Relay - Common |
NC | Door Relay - Normally Closed |
Note: Install a MOV suppression at the lock end. If using a DC lock, a 1A, 400V diode can be used instead of the MOV.
Many locks come with suppression included. Only add a MOV or diode to locks that do not contain suppression.
Relays do not output voltage; separate power is required for output devices. Power can be supplied by either the onboard Lock Power Supply or an external power supply.
When connecting the relay to an electric strike/lock or other output devices that exceeds the relay’s contact ratings, an intermediate relay is required.
Door Supervised Input Connections
The typical line module input features a connection between a Door Contact or Alarm Sensor, and Request to Exit (RQE) button, a line tamper, and the Controller. The Controller uses a line supervision module device called a line module to supervise the input circuit. It should be located as close as possible to the door contact or alarm sensor.

Note: Pay close attention when making the connections between the Controller and line module. HI on the Controller should be connected to HI of the line module and LOW of the Controller should be connected to LOW of the line module.
Shield wire should be connected to the Shield terminal on the Door Connector. At the line module side, the shield wire should be terminated and left floating.

Resetting the Controller
On an IDENTIV EG-2 controller, there is a Reset button located near the top right side of the casing. To activate the Reset button, insert a straightened paper clip into the reset hole. This button performs three types of reset, depending on how long you hold down the button, as shown in the table below.
Reset Button Functions
2 seconds | Resets only the Device Module |
5 seconds | Reboots the entire IDENTIV EG-2 Controller |
20 seconds | Resets the entire IDENTIV EG-2 Controller back to factory default and reboots. This option should only be used after being instructed to do so by Identiv Technical Support. |
Note: A Factory Reset clears both primary and secondary server addresses.
Assigned static IP addresses addressing will be set back to DCHP.
