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.

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.
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 )
andP 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.
