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. An IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) can be operated in ambient temperatures of 32° F (0° C) to 120° F (49° C), with a maximum relative humidity of 93%. It must be installed indoors, within the protected premises.

  • Make sure the 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 a 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.

  • Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI / NFPA70), Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. All cabling and wire used must be Listed or Recognised AWM wire, suitable for the application. Class 2 or 3 conductors must be segregated from electric light, and power. Class 1 conductors, non-Class 2 or 3 signaling conductors, battery backup, and medium-power network-powered broadband communications-circuit conductors.

To avoid possible damage to your IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) Controller, make sure to power off the device before adding or removing any part of the physical access control system.

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 (Model 50-40-SB) device.

“IDENTIV EG2-2 model 50-40-SB was tested for compatibility by UL with Altronix Model NetWay8BT” to the PoE+ wiring table.

Compliance with IEEE802.3 specifications were not verified by UL

The PoE+ power sourcing equipment (PSE) is intended to comply with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 Article 725.121 Power Sources for Class 2 and Class 3 Circuits.

Category 5e cabling is the minimum performance category recommended. The performance category utilized should match the transmission speed required at the installation site.

The minimum conductor gauge permitted to connect the power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered device (PD) shall be 26 AWG (0.13 square mm) for patch cords, and 24 AWG (0.21 square mm) for horizontal or riser cable.


Electrical Ratings for 24Vdc and POE+

In POE+ input mode the following data is used by UL for their evaluation of a typical system.

Max load to the external peripherals - 18W

Max rating for Reader 1 - 3W - 250mA @12V

Max rating for Reader 2 - 3W - 250mA @12V

Max rating for Door 1 power - 6W - 500mA @12V or 250mA @24V

Max rating for Door 2 power - 6W - 500mA @12V or 250mA @24V.

Note: Depending upon the system configuration, there can be multiple combinations of readers and locks that could be used with the system. The following equation can be used as a guide to identifying if a particular system configuration fits within the PoE+ power budget.

  1. P total = ( I reader 1 + I reader 2 ) * 12 +
    ( I door strike wet 1 * V door strike wet 1 ) +
    ( I door strike wet 2 * V door strike wet 1 )
    and

  2. P total < 18W

where I reader is the current draw for the reader at 12V. ( To be obtained from the readers ratings/label)

V door strike wet is the rated voltage of the door strike ( 12V or 24 V)

I door strike wet is the current drawn by the door strike @ V door strike wet.

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 a reader drain is not provided, trim shield wire and leave it unconnected.

Access Granted Operation

For Wiegand readers, the card number is fed through D0 and D1 interface wires on the IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB). The access control engine on IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) will search for the card in its database, if the card is recognized the IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) will grant access if the cardholder has appropriate access privileges.

Functions of lights/LEDs

When IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) grants access, it will activate the reader’s LED for 5 seconds. This 5-second is the activation period of the door strike relay. If the cardholder is denied access, the LED will not activate.

Compatible Readers: UL 294 Listed keypad/readers that interface via SIA AC-01-1996.10 - Access Control Standard Protocol for the 26-bitWiegand Reader Interface or SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP), v2.1.5.

“Access Granted Operation”

For OSDP readers, the card number is fed through Data A and Data B interface wires on the IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB). The access control engine on IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) will search for the card in its database, if the card is recognized the IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) will grant access if the cardholder has appropriate access privileges.

“Functions of lights/LEDs”

When IDENTIV EG-2 (Model 50-40-SB) grants access, it will activate the reader’s LED for 5 seconds. This 5-second is the activation period of the door strike relay. If the cardholder is denied access, the LED will not activate.

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 (Model 50-40-SB) Controller. An example installation is shown in the figure below.

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 exceed 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.
