In order to install a ScramblePad, you must:

• Install the Mounting Box – instructions on how to install the correct mounting boxes, determine the correct mounting height for each device, and the dimensions of each ScramblePad mounting box.

• Set up the ScramblePad – instructions on how to set ScramblePad DIP switches to assign each an ID.

• Wire the ScramblePad – detailed instructions on how to wire the ScramblePad to a controller.
  Each of these tasks is discussed in this section.

Installing the Mounting Box

Each ScramblePad must be installed in a mounting box. The available mounting boxes are shown in Figure 1-83.

Figure 1-83: ScramblePad Mounting Boxes

Some of the mounting boxes—like the MB1, MB3, and MB8—are designed for flush mounting, meaning the box is embedded in the wall. Other boxes—like the MB2, MB2S, MB4, MB9, and MB20—are designed for surface mounting, which means the box is attached to and juts from the wall. However, when used with the UMK, the MB2 becomes flush, semi-flush, or handicap mountable.

The MB2S is designed specifically for the DS47LScramblePad and DS47L-SPX ScrambleProx. When used with the UMK or UMKS, the MB2S becomes flush or handicap mountable.

The MB20 is used for mounting a keypad and magstripe reader side-by-side (dual technology). This box also enables you to install both a magstripe and prox reader at the same door, if you so choose. This entails installation of the ScrambleProx in the keypad position.

The MB5 is used for parking and other outdoor operations. It can be surface-mounted on a wall or, for parking applications, can use either the MP35 or MP41 mounting post. To determine how much space you’ll need for the mounting box, study the dimensions for each box as shown on the following pages.

Figure 1-84: ScramblePad Mounting Boxes Dimensions - MB1, MB2, & MB2S

Figure 1-87: ScramblePad and Reader Mounting for MB20

Selecting a Mounting Height

Select the correct mounting height for the construction conditions at each door. If it isn’t right, the ScramblePad will be difficult to use properly.

Figure 1-88 shows how the ScramblePad mounting height differs according to the angle of viewing.

Figure 1-88: ScramblePad Height Adjustment

If users of the ScramblePad or MATCH are handicapped, pay particular attention to the height of the box. Most states require strict compliance with conditions of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) in addition to many local and regional code requirements. Consult the local codes for exact height requirements.

Each box requires slightly different instructions for mounting.

Installation instructions for each box and kit are provided on the following pages.

Installing the MB1

To Mount the MB1:

1.Determine the height which is correct for this location. Refer to “Selecting a Mounting Height”.

Figure 1-99: Installing MB20

To continue with the ScramblePad installation, go to the next section: “Setting Up a DS47L ScramblePad/ScrambleProx” .

Setting Up a DS47L ScramblePad/ScrambleProx

After you install the mounting boxes, but before you connect the ScramblePad to the cable, you must first configure the ScramblePad.
There are ten DIP switches on the back of the DS47L-series ScramblePads.
These switches:

• Assign the Address

• Enable/disable the Tamper Alarm Function

• Test the unit

To setup the DS47L-series ScramblePad/ScrambleProx:

1.Assign an address to the ScramblePad. Use the chart on the back of the unit to help you determine the correct ID setting.

Table 1-23: ScramblePad Door Assignment Settings

In this binary addressing scheme, SW1 = 8, SW2 = 4, SW3 = 2, and SW4 = 1.

Assign up to a maximum of 16 IDs per controller. IDs do not translate into Doors. The maximum number of doors handled by a Hirsch controller (Model 8) is still eight, but the controller interprets 1 - 8 as entries and 9 - 16 as exits. In this way, you can assign two ScramblePads/MATCHs for each door. For example, assign ID 1 to the entry ScramblePad on Door 1; assign ID 9 to the exit ScramblePad at Door 1.

1.The controller to which the ScramblePad is connected must read the ID (address) from the ScramblePad before it can act, so it is important that this is set correctly.

2. If required, enable dual readers by setting SW5 to ON. This enables the DS47L or DS47L-SPX to connect to a second reader for entry and exit applications.

3. Specify whether the readers attached to Reader 1 and Reader 2 ports are Wiegand or ABA Track 2 Mag Stripe by setting SW6:
OFF = ABA Track 2 Mag Stripe
ON = Wiegand

4. Specify whether the readers attached to the reader ports are Insert or Swipe by setting SW7:
OFF = Swipe
ON = Insert

5. Enable the Physical Tamper Alarm by setting SW8 to 1 (ON). When ON, the ScramblePad/ScrambleProx can detect attempts to tamper with it. If tampering is detected, all LEDs on the face flash red and the ScramblePad is disabled.

6. Set SW9 and SW10 to enable two different test procedures.
OFF causes the LEDs to blink in sequence. All segments of each LED displays an 8.
ON initiates the switch test. All keys are tested.

7. Set SW10 = ON to enable test modes.
SW10 must be enabled before SW9 can run either test.

Wiring the ScramblePad

After you’ve set up the ScramblePad/ScrambleProx, it’s time to route and connect the cable linking the ScramblePad to the controller.
For more about powering a ScramblePad locally, refer to “Powering the ScramblePad Locally”. For more about powering a MATCH locally, refer to “Powering the MATCH Locally”.
To wire the ScramblePad to the Controller:

1.Connect cable runs from the controller to the access control points for each ScramblePad at each door (as shown in Figure 1-102).

Recommended cable for DS47L-series ScramblePads is 2-pair, stranded, twisted, shielded cable, either 22 AWG or 18 AWG. Overall shield or individual shielded pairs are acceptable. Color coded cable – black, red, green, and white – is recommended. Pair 1, black and red, provide power to the ScramblePad; pair 2, green and white, provide data communications between the ScramblePad and the Controller. Digital signals are sent to the controller from the ScramblePad over the cabling—cable must be protected from surges, spikes and noise normally found on electric lock cables.

For information about wiring distances and connecting entry/exit or dual technology ScramblePads, refer to Table 1-6 and Table 1-7 starting in section “ScramblePad/MATCH Inputs”.

Two ScramblePads at the same door can share the same cable.

2. Remove the green plastic connector from the back of the ScramblePad and loosen screws on all connector slots.

3. Insert each wire into the ScramblePad connector as shown in Table 1-24 and Figure 1-100:

Table 1-24: ScramblePad Connector Orientation

Use Figure 1-100 to aid you with the cabling the DS47L-series ScramblePads.

Figure 1-100: DS47L-Series ScramblePad Setup and Wiring

SW5 - SW10 settings for the DS47 differ depending on the generation being used.

The most recent DS47 ScramblePad generation (firmware versions 980313, 980103, and 971102) is displayed in Figure 1-100 and also in Table 1-25:

Table 1-25: MATCH SW5 - SW8 Settings (Versions 980313, 980103, and 971102)

The previous DS47L ScramblePad (firmware version 971023 and 971024) settings are shown in Table 1-26:

Table 1-26: MATCH SW5 - SW10 Settings (Version 971023 and 971024)

The original release of the DS47 (firmware version before 970923) settings are shown in Table 1-27:

Table 1-27: MATCH SW5 - SW10 Settings (Prior to Version 971023)

The insertion technique is shown in Figure 1-101:

Figure 1-101: Inserting Wires into the Terminal Block Connector Slots

4. Tighten the screws on each connector until the wires are securely fastened.

5. Plug the green connector into the keyed ScramblePad connector socket as shown in Figure 1-102.

Figure 1-102: Plugging the Terminal Block Connector into the ScramblePad

6. If this is a DS47L, connect one or two card readers to the Reader 1 and Reader 2 ports as described in “Readers Setup”. Because the DS47L-series ScramblePads have integrated MATCH Reader Interfaces, connect each reader cable to the back of the DS47L just as you would to the back of an MRIB.

7. If this is a DS47L-SPX, the Reader 1 port is already connected to the integrated proximity reader. Connect a second reader to the Reader 2 port.

8. Use the supplied screws to mount the ScramblePad into the mounting box as shown in Figure 1-103.

Figure 1-103: Mounting the ScramblePad Examples (MB1 and MB2)

If this is an MB3, MB4, MB5, MB8 or MB9 for outdoor use, insert a heavy-duty weather gasket (Hirsch # HB-HDG) between the ScramblePad and the box as shown in Figure 1-104.

Figure 1-104: Mounting the ScramblePad with Weather Gasket

9. Secure the bezel to the ScramblePad as shown in Figure 1-104.

Auto-Start

The Auto-Start function only works if the DS47’s MATCH functionality is enabled, using SW5-6. If SW5-6 are set to OFF-OFF—that is, if the DS47 is configured to act like a DS37—the ScramblePad will not auto-start. The auto-start feature works with any type of reader plugged into the MATCH connector.

When using CCM version 6.5.xx, the DS47 with auto-start enabled doesn’t change the way DIGI*TRAC firmware handles dual codes. Under normal dual operation, both the MATCH and DS47 keypad accepts a card code, then waits for the send (#) key to be pressed. Under CCOTZ operation, the MATCH or DS47 sends the card code immediately to validate the code. In this situation, the DS47 does not auto-start.

When using CCM version 6.6 or later, the ScramblePad provides “Smart Auto-Start” capability. When you present a card, the firmware immediately tries to validate it. If the code is valid, it grants access. If the card’s code is present in the code record database, it processes it appropriately. If the card’s code is invalid, the firmware blinks the yellow LED once and automatically starts up the ScramblePad. When a ScramblePad code is entered, the firmware attempts to process the card code and the ScramblePad code as a dual code, granting or denying access based on that combination.

Powering the ScramblePad Locally

Most of the time, the Controller provides sufficient power to run an attached ScramblePad. However, there are conditions which require more power than the Controller can supply. This can occur when more than the supported number of ScramblePads are connected to the Controller; or if the cable connecting the Controller to the ScramblePad exceeds the distance limitations specified in Table 1-6 in section “ScramblePad/MATCH Inputs”.

When this happens, you should connect a local 24VDC power supply with battery backup into the ScramblePad’s connector. To do this:

1.Turn all system power off, remove connectors to the standby battery, then remove connectors to the AC power.

2. Locate a 12VDC - 27VDC (for normal ScramblePad) or 18VDC - 27VDC (for highintensity ScramblePad) power supply (1 Amp) near the ScramblePad.

3. Run a pair of wires (usually twisted, shielded pair) from the power supply to the ScramblePad.

4. Connect the GND and + connectors at the power supply end.

5. Remove the ScramblePad terminal block from the ScramblePad’s.

6. If the Controller is already connected to the ScramblePad, disconnect the + (Red)
wire. It will not be used.

7. Rewire the block in this way:

• Attach a GND wire from the auxiliary power supply to the G terminal on the ScramblePad terminal block, along with the G (black) wire from the Controller.

• Attach a red wire from the power supply to the + terminal on the ScramblePad.

8. Power up the system. Figure 1-105 provides a view of this arrangement:

Figure 1-105: Powering the ScramblePad Locally

Testing the ScramblePad

Use the ScramblePad to request a status check. To request status, press:

START * #

This displays the status of the relay and line module input associated with the ScramblePad ID from which the request was entered.

To request the status of any specific relay and line module input connected to the controller, press:

START * door relay/line module input (1 - 8) #

For example, to display the status of Relay 8 and Alarm 8 from any ScramblePad, press:

START * 8 #

This displays the status of Relay 8 and Alarm 8.

ScramblePad status reports are returned to and can be read from the ScramblePad LEDs as shown in Table 1-28:

Table 1-28: ScramblePad Status LEDs

Figure 1-106 shows the ScramblePad LEDs:

Figure 1-106: ScramblePad LEDs

For more about troubleshooting ScramblePads, refer to “Troubleshooting the Controller Using Status LEDs” .

ScramblePad Maintenance

The only required maintenance for ScramblePads is a regular cleaning of the key face. Over time the key face can become dirty from a mixture of finger oil and acids along with normal dust and dirt. If regular cleaning is not performed, the key face will eventually require replacement. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as Simple Green.

Also, key faces on exterior ScramblePads in bright sunlit installations will eventually discolor from the sun’s UV rays. When necessary, the key face should be replaced.

MATCH Interface Installation

This is a multi-stage process:

• Setting up the MATCH

• Mounting the MATCH

• Wiring the MATCH

Each stage is detailed in this section.

Setting Up the MATCH

The MATCH Reader Interface Board (MRIB) contains two connectors for linking both a ScramblePad and a DIGI*TRAC or Mx controller. On the other side are two ports for connecting two reader cables.

There is also a 3-pin connector (P1) on the bottom of the MATCH enabling it to connect directly to a host PC for enrollment station applications as well as another 3-pin connector (P2) used for connecting the MATCH to a DIGI*TRAC Annunciator (DTA).

Figure 1-107: Layout View of MRIB

S1 Bank

The MATCH2 pictured above possesses the same number of connectors as the previous MATCH but has two, rather than one, DIP switch banks.

The S1 bank configures all standard settings for the MATCH – such as address, direction, and number of readers. For detailed settings, refer to Table 1-29 and Table 1-30. Use the S2 bank for specifying custom settings. These settings are pre-programmed into the MATCH2’s ROM and are implemented by setting the appropriate switches. For more about this, see Table 1-31. The Channel 1 input is dedicated to readers located on the entry side of the door. Channel 2 input is restricted to readers located on the exit side of the door.

S1 bank’s SW1 - SW4 settings are shown in Table 1-29 with a graphic of the switch configuration possibilities to the left.

For more information about addressing, refer to “ScramblePad/MATCH Addressing Conventions”.
S1 bank’s SW5-8 settings are shown in Table 1-30:

Table 1-30: MATCH S1 Bank SW5 - SW8 Settings

The standard mag stripe is ISO track 2 (ABA). The 8-digit MATCH code is a hash sum of all data on the card.

The standard Wiegand is 25-55 bits, with even parity as the most significant bit, and odd parity as the least significant bit. The MATCH code is built from the 26 least significant data bits, excluding the odd parity bit. All other bits are discarded. The 26 bits are shuffled before conversion to the 8-digit MATCH code.

S2 Bank

If SW7 on the S1 bank is ON (indicating custom mag stripe) or both SW7 and SW8 on the S1 bank are ON (indicating custom Wiegand), the switches on the second switch bank (S2) enable you to specify which custom setting is required.

The currently available custom reader settings, requiring SW4 – SW8 on the S2 bank, are shown in Table 1-31.

Table 1-31: MATCH S2 Banks Custom Settings

The MATCH also contains a dedicated RS-232 port next to the S1 switch bank. The P1 connector accommodates an ESC1 cable, which includes a three-pin adapter on one end and a DB25 on the other. Use this port to connect the MATCH to a Card Enrollment station on a PC.

The MATCH also contains a dedicated RS-232 port marked P2 which is located to the left of the P1 port. The P2 port uses an ESC1 cable to connect to the DIGI*TRAC Annunciator (which has been discontinued).

ScramblePad/MATCH Addressing Conventions

Addresses are assigned to ScramblePads and MATCHs according to user discretion, but
always following these protocols:

• 16 Addresses are available
  • Addresses 1 – 8 are used for entry ScramblePads and MATCH interfaces
  • Addresses 9 – 16 are used for exit ScramblePads

So, for example, to assign a MATCH the address 7 on the S1 bank, leave SW1 OFF then turn SW2, SW3, and SW4 to ON. The controller understands the reader connected to Channel 1 is on the entry side of the door, and a reader connected to Channel 2 is on the exit side of the door.

• If two readers are attached to a MATCH, the entry reader address is assigned to the address on the MATCH.

• If one ScramblePad is attached to a MATCH, the ScramblePad must be assigned the same address as the MATCH. For example, if a MATCH is allocated Address 1, then the ScramblePad must be set as Address 1.

• If two ScramblePads are connected to the same MATCH, then the lowest of the two addresses must also be assigned to the MATCH. For example, if ScramblePads on opposite sides of a door have been assigned Addresses 1 and 9 (per the rule for addressing entry and exit ScramblePads), then the MATCH to which these two ScramblePads are connected must be assigned Address 1; similarly, the MATCH to which ScramblePads addressed as 2 and 10 must be allocated Address 2, and so on.

Mounting the MATCH

There are three ways to mount the MATCH interface:

• MRIA in a Hirsch mounting box

• MRIB in a universal J-Box

• MR11LA

To Mount the MRIA:
The Hirsch MATCH Reader Interface Assembly (MRIA) includes an MRIB with mounting base and bezel, physical tamper switch, and blank faceplate. This assembly enables you to mount the MRIB directly behind an indoor mag stripe reader like the Hirsch CR11L or MR11L, where room permits.

1.Select the mounting box you require. Available models are MB1 and MB2. For more
about this, see “MRIA/MRIB Mounting”.

2. Install and secure the selected mounting box using the instructions earlier in this chapter. Refer to “Installing the Mounting Box”.

3. Route cable from the controller through the back box.

4. Using the enclosed screws, insert and secure the MRIB to the mounting box.

5. Connect ScramblePads and Card Readers to the MRIB as required. For more about this, see the next section, “Wiring the MATCH”.

6. Connect the MRIB to the controller.

To Mount the MRIB:
The MRIB is the bare board version of the MATCH. It is usually mounted inside a J-Box and located above the ceiling line.

1.Locate the MRIB in close proximity to the readers and ScramblePads, if used. The MRIB should be located at the Door or Access Point. If you want to protect the board from the environment, place it inside a J-Box above the ceiling or in the wall.
For every foot of separation between the MRIB and ScramblePad, the distance between the Controller and the MRIB must be decreased by one foot.

2. Install and secure the J-Box.

3. Route cable from the controller through the box.

4. Using the enclosed screws, insert and secure the MRIB to the mounting box.

5. Connect ScramblePads and Card Readers to the MRIB as required. For more about this, see the following section.

6. Connect the MRIB to the Controller.2.

To Mount the MR11LA:
The indoor magstripe reader (MR11LA) includes its own integrated MRIB, behind the reader.

1.Select the mounting box you require. Available models are MB1 and MB2. For more about this, see “MRIA/MRIB Mounting”.

2. Install and secure the selected mounting box using the instructions earlier in this chapter. Refer to “Installing the Mounting Box”.

3. Route cable from the controller through the back box and connect it to the MRIB as described in the next section, “Wiring the MATCH”.

4. If you need to connect a second reader or a ScramblePad to the MR11LA’s MRIB, route the wiring from the second reader through the back box and connect it to the MRIB as described in the next section, “Wiring the MATCH”.

Wiring the MATCH

Wiring the MATCH is a three-stage process:

• Connecting the MATCH to one or two readers

• Connecting the MATCH to an optional ScramblePad

• Connecting the MATCH to a controller

To Connect the MATCH to Readers:

1.Connect the reader to the end of the flying lead cable. For information about doing this, refer to your reader’s installation manual.

2. Attach the cable connector (the other end of the flying lead cable) to the Channel 1 or Channel 2 input port on the MATCH.

3. If the distance between the MATCH and the reader is greater than the 12-inch flying lead connector, an additional cable must be provided and soldered to the flying lead cable.

4. Install the cable between the MATCH and the one or two readers this board will connect.

The distance from the MATCH to the Reader is a function of the specific reader. Some readers, like the Hirsch CR11L, can be up to 150 feet (45m) from the MATCH using wire gauge no smaller than 24 AWG. Reader distances vary. Check the specifications for your Reader to determine allowable wire distances.

Make sure the cable connector conforms to this specification:

Figure 1-108: Reader Connector Wiring

To Connect the MATCH to a ScramblePad:

1.Remove the green connector from the KEYPAD terminal block.

2. Attach wires from one end of the ScramblePad cable to the connector. Make sure the wiring corresponds to this pinout arrangement:

3. Reattach the connector to the MATCH’s Keypad terminal block.

4. Connect the other end of the cable into the back of the ScramblePad.

5. To attach a second ScramblePad to this board, insert and secure the second set of wires into the MATCH’s KEYPADS terminal blocks.

Figure 1-109: Connecting Entry and Exit ScramblePads

If one or both of the ScramblePads are DS47Ls, then the MATCH is integrated into the back of the keypad. Make sure to connect wires from the KEYPADS terminal block on the exit keypad’s MATCH board to the KEYPADS terminal block on the entry keypad’s MATCH board.
This ‘doubling up’ of wires will not affect communication between the two ScramblePads and the controller, because ScramblePad signals are digital and can be decoded by the controller.

If a ScramblePad is attached to a MATCH, the MATCH must be assigned the same address as the connected ScramblePad. For example, if a ScramblePad connected to a MATCH is allocated Address 1, then the MATCH must be set as Address 1.

If two ScramblePads are connected to the same MATCH, then the lowest of the two addresses must be assigned to the MATCH. For example, if ScramblePads on opposite sides of a door have been assigned Addresses 1 and 9 (per the rule for addressing entry and exit ScramblePads), then the MATCH to which these two ScramblePads are connected must be assigned Address 1; similarly, the MATCH to which ScramblePads
addressed as 2 and 10 must be allocated Address 2, and so on.

For more about wiring the ScramblePad, refer to “ScramblePad Installation”.

To Connect the MATCH to the Controller:

1.Turn all system power off, remove connectors to the standby battery, then remove connectors to the AC power.

2. Run the cable to the controller.
For wiring and distances, refer to “Design Considerations”.

3. Remove the green connector from the D*TRAC terminal block on the MATCH board.

4. Attach wires from one end of the DIGI*TRAC cable to the terminal block.
Make sure the wiring corresponds to this pinout arrangement:

5. Reattach the connector to the MATCH’s D*TRAC terminal block.

6. Connect the other end of the cable into the DIGI*TRAC controller board.
For more about wiring the controller, refer to “Controller Installation”.

Powering the MATCH Locally

Most of the time, the attached controller provides sufficient power to the MATCH to run the attached readers. However, there are conditions which require more power than the controller can reasonably supply. This occurs if the wire run between the controller and the MATCH is more than 1800 feet.

When this happens, you should connect a local 24 VDC power supply into the MATCH’s D*TRAC connector. To do this:

1.Turn all system power off, remove connectors to the standby battery, then remove connectors to the AC power.

2. Locate a 24VDC – 27VDC (1 Amp) power supply near the MATCH.

3. Run a pair of wires (usually twisted pair) from the power supply to the MATCH.

4. Connect the G (black) and + (red) connectors at the power supply end.

5. Remove the D*TRAC terminal block from the MATCH’s D*TRAC port.

6. Rewire the block in this way:

• Add the G (black) wire from the power supply to the G (black) wire that already leads to the controller.

• Replace the + (red) wire from the controller with the + (red) wire from the power supply.

Figure 1-30 provides a schematic view of this arrangement:

Figure 1-110: Powering the MATCH Locally (Schematic)

Figure 1-111 illustrates this same arrangement.

Figure 1-111: MATCH Connections using Local Power

7. Power up the system.

MATCH Reader Installation

There are a large number of readers provided by Hirsch and other manufacturers that are compatible with the MATCH. A list of MATCH-compatible readers and their required wiring is provided in the DIGI*TRAC Systems Design & Installation Guide.

That document includes wiring diagrams for using the following types of readers with a Hirsch DIGI*TRAC system:

• Mag Stripe Card Readers

• Proximity Card Readers

• Wiegand Readers

• Barcode Swipe Card Readers

• Biometric Readers

• Infrared and Long-Range Readers

• Smart Card Readers

• MATCH-Compliant Keypads

• Miscellaneous Readers and Devices

Here is some general information about those types of readers.

Readers Setup

Some readers possess DIP switches and jumpers for pre-configuring, others do not. For specifics on setting up your reader, refer to the sheet or manual provided with the reader.

Specify how the MATCH Reader Interface handles each of its attached readers through MATCH switch settings (refer to “Setting Up the MATCH”). If there are one or two card readers attached to this MATCH, they must both use the same reader data format, because SW7-8 on the MATCH can only be set for one type of reader format. If the reader is a standard Wiegand, set SW7=OFF and SW8=ON; for ABA/ISO Mag Stripe set both SW7 and SW8 to OFF. Wiegand and ABA/ISO are the two principal data formats.

Readers Mounting and Wiring

All readers have slight differences in the way they are mounted. For specifics on each reader, refer to the installation sheet provided with the reader you’ve purchased. In general, follow these instructions:

1.Use the supplied template or mounting base to prepare the reader for mounting.

2. Route the cable from the MATCH to the reader.

3. Connect the cable between the reader and MATCH as described earlier (refer to “Mounting the MATCH”).

4. If the Reader comes with a faceplate, attach that now.

Line Module Installation

The number of line module input functions depends on the DTLM or MELM selected. Choose the Line Module appropriate for the inputs being connected. Table 1-32 shows which Line Modules accommodate which inputs.

Table 1-32: DTLM/MELM chart

The DTLM1/MELM1 has only one input for a dedicated Door/Line module input while the DTLM2/MELM2 has two inputs, accommodating both a dedicated Door/Line module input and RQE. The DTLM3/MELM3 has three inputs, enabling it to accept a Door/Line module input on INPUT 1, an RQE on INPUT 2, and a Tamper Detection on INPUT 3.

This section also explains how to install an SBMS3 balanced magnetic switch (refer to “Mounting and Wiring the SBMS3”).

Mounting the Line Module

The Line Module is usually located above the ceiling, on the wall, or in a J-Box (recommended), next to the door or accessway it is monitoring. A J-box or some other container is often used to protect the module from dust and debris; however, install the line module without a cover if so desired. An example of a DTLM connection is shown in Figure 1-112:

Figure 1-112: Line Module Example

A closer look at the example in Figure 1-112 reveals how connections and mountings are achieved for this DTLM:

Figure 1-113: DTLM Example: Closer Look

The dimensions for each module are provided in Table 1-15 and Table 1-17 in section “MELM”.
In general, you should:

• Use the DTLM line module type where space is sufficient to place a small object and a screw terminal connection is needed.

• Use the MELM line module type – which is shaped like a short length of cable – where space is minimal and a flying lead connection is needed. MELMs can be used when mounting the module inside the monitored device.

Wiring the DTLM Line Module

---

Each DTLM input connector is designed for a specific input device. DTLM inputs are labeled 1, 2, and 3 for simplicity in which 1 normally connects to the door contact or alarm sensor, 2 connects to the RQE, and 3 monitors a Tamper switch. Don’t try wiring an input device into an input connector for which it isn’t designed. For example, don’t try wiring an RQE to INPUT 1 or a Tamper Detection to INPUT 1 or 2.

DTLM line module connections are shown in Figure 1-43 in section “DTLM”. Their terminal assignments are described in Table 1-14 in section “DTLM”.

For maximum cable lengths between the controller and each DTLM/MELM module, see Table 1-3 in section “Typical Line Module Inputs”.

Figure 1-114: Typical Line Module Input Connection

Figure 1-115: DTLM Wiring

Wiring the MELM Line Module

Each Line Module input connector is designed for a specific input device. Don’t try wiring an input device into an input connector for which it isn’t designed. For example, don’t try wiring an RQE to INPUT 1 or a Tamper Detection to INPUT 1 or 2.

MELM line modules are miniaturized versions of the DTLMs. As such they require a different wiring plan, as shown in Figure 1-43.

For maximum cable lengths between the controller and each DTLM/MELM module, see Table 1-3 in section “Typical Line Module Inputs”.

Figure 1-116: MELM Wiring

Mounting and Wiring the SBMS3

The SBMS3-2707A is a balanced magnetic switch with an MELM3 installed.

To Mount and Connect Inputs to the SBMS3:

1.Install the SBMS3 switch on the required door.

2. Connect the RQE switch to the Blue wire pair. This always connects to an N.O. RQE device.

3. Run the Black and White wire pair to the Controller.

4. Turn all system power off, remove connectors to the standby battery, then remove connectors to the AC power.

5. Connect the shield at the controller terminal and let it float at the MELM.

6. Connect the other end of the cable to the Controller:

• Connect the White wire from the SBMS3 to the Controller’s HI terminal.

• Connect the Black wire from the SBMS3 to the Controller’s LO terminal.

Door Relay Installation: Strikes and Locks

A number of door relays including locks and strikes can be wired to a controller. A typical door relay connection between a lock and an Mx controller would look like Figure 1-117.

Figure 1-117: Typical Door Wiring Example

If you are using a PS2 power supply, the controller’s door relays don’t switch lock power through their contacts. Only a pilot signal is run between the controller relay and the PS2 input. This configuration allows wiring from the controller to be run in a common conduit because ScramblePad/MATCH and line module circuits are protected from the induction of electrical interference – such as surges, spikes, or noise – which are commonly experienced by electric lock cables.

HVAC, Lighting, and Elevator Control

---

Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and elevator control are generally handled by the smaller 24 VDC, 2A relays found on expansion boards and controllers. The M64 is specifically designed for this kind of control switching. One of the chief uses for the M64 is elevator control. Other uses include HVAC, lighting, prison door control, interlock, and CCTV.

An example of both lighting control and elevator control are shown in Figure 1-118:

Figure 1-118: Lighting/Elevator Control

Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and elevator control are generally handled by the smaller 24 VDC, 2A relays found on expansion boards and M64 controllers. The M64 is specifically designed for this kind of control switching. One of the chief uses for the M64 is elevator control. Other uses include HVAC, lighting, prison door control, interlock, and CCTV.

HVAC and lighting circuits are normally connected to the N.O. and C terminals on the control relay terminal block. They are generally turned off until they are activated by the relay. Lighting contractors can use split coil solenoids which require a separate DIGI*TRAC control relay for ON and another for OFF.

Elevator control circuits can utilize the N.C. and C terminals if the wiring passes through the floor call button. Modern elevators, however, have separate inputs for access control, and provide dedicated circuits from the floor call button to the elevator control panel.

There are no hard-and-fast rules for HVAC, lighting, and elevator control circuits: different devices call for different circuit states and the designing engineer must determine the best arrangement for each application.

Enrollment Station Installation

---

Hirsch offers several choices for enrollment stations:

• DMES

• SMES

• nedap enrollment station

• RUU Verification Stations

Figure 1-119: DMES Station

Both stations require correct connection of the MATCH on the back of the station to the appropriate device (Controller for the DMES or Host PC for the SMES). Figure 1-120 shows possible connection arrangements.

Figure 1-120: Possible Enrollment Station Connections

To install the DMES:

1.Turn the DMES over to expose the MRIB on the underside of the DS47L. Make sure the DS47L is correctly connected to the KEYPAD port on the MRIB.
If you have purchased a DMES-U, you must connect your selected reader to the MRIB reader port on the back of the DMES.

2. Using a 2-pair shielded, twisted, stranded cable, connect one end to the D*TRAC port on the MRIB as shown in Figure 1-121.
If this station will be independently powered, only connect the A, B, G, and S wires. If the controller will power this station, connect all five wires.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to an available ScramblePad/MATCH terminal on the controller as shown in Figure 1-121.

4. If not already done, connect a printer to the controller.

5. To connect the DMES to a host PC:
a. Purchase an ESC1 cable from Hirsch.
b. Connect the 3-pin connector of the cable to the P1 port on the bottom of the MATCH board as shown in Figure 1-120.
c. Connect the cable’s DB25 connector to the COM2 serial port on the host PC.

This uses the newer MATCH2 port designations. The older MATCH used the P2 port designation as the connector to the host PC.

6. Use commands, like CMDs 310 through 315, on the DMES ScramblePad to enroll cards and assign user numbers to them.

Figure 1-121: DMES Installation

To install the SMES:

1.Turn the SMES over to expose the MRIB on the underside of the ES2 stand.
Make sure the reader is correctly connected to the reader port on the MATCH2.

2. If you have purchased a SMES-U, you must connect your selected reader to the MATCH2 reader port on the back of the SMES.

3. Connect the 3-pin connector end of the ESC1 cable (included with the SMES package) to the 3-pin P1 port on the bottom of the MATCH2 board as shown in Figure 1-122.

4. Connect the ESC1’s DB25 connector to the COM2 serial port on the host PC.

This uses the newer MATCH2 port designations. The older MATCH used the P2 port designation as the connector to the host PC.

5. Connect the terminal block end of the ESPT power adaptor (included with the SMES package) to the D*TRAC connector on the MATCH2 board.

6. Plug the ESPT power block into a convenient socket.
An example of the SMES-M wiring is shown in Figure 1-122:

Figure 1-122: SMES Wiring

Hirsch nedap Enrollment Station Installation

---

Use the following procedure to connect the Hirsch nedap® Enrollment Station (Hirsch # CR-NES) to the DIGI*TRAC system:

1.Fabricate a cable using the specifications shown in Figure 1-123.

Figure 1-123: nedap Enrollment Station Cable Fabrication

2. Connect the terminal block end of the fabricated cable to one of the two Reader ports on the MATCH 2.

Figure 1-124: nedap to MATCH Connection

3. Connect the serial connector end of the cable to the nedap serial port.

Figure 1-125: nedap Port Connector

4. Using an ESC1 cable, connect the MATCH to the workstation.

Figure 1-126: Connecting Workstation to MATCH

Purchase the ESC1 cable through Hirsch.

RUU Verification Station

---

The RUU can be used as either a smart card entry/exit reader or an enrollment station for a variety of smart cards.
For a complete explanation of the set up and configuration of the RUU, refer to the Verification Station Configuration Guide.

Network Component Installation

---

Before the existence of the Internet and standardized networking gear, the network for a large physical access control system often had to be custom built. Now it is typical for the security system to be integrated with an organization’s existing network infrastructure (which is controlled by the IT department).

An Mx series controller is designed to operate in a networked environment, so the communication devices have been reduced to a SNIB2 or SNIB3 expansion board (or the equivalent functionality built onto the controller’s main board). The Mx controller can be ordered with either SNIB2 or SNIB3 capability, while the main board of an Mx-1 or Mx-1-ME controller includes SNIB3 capability.

For information about older network devices such as a modem, transceiver, NET*MUX4, or X-Box, see the DIGI*TRAC Systems Design & Installation Guide.

Secure Network Interface Board Installation

For complete SNIB installation instructions, refer to “Secure Network Interface Board (SNIB2 or SNIB3) Installation”.
For information about a SNIB’s use within the SCRAMBLE*NET, see “Secure Network Interface Board (SNIB2 or SNIB3)”.
