Electrical Safety Information
To prevent electric shock, you must observe common-sense precautions when working with the high-voltage AC input power connections and the standby battery pack connections to a controller. For example:
Before removing or replacing fuses, turn off the main power leading into the controller.
Before working on the power supply connections of a controller, turn off the main power leading into the controller.
No special precautions are required when working with the Class 2 limited-power connections which supply low-voltage power to other devices such as readers. (When you create these connections, you are not working directly with bare live wires. Instead, the ends of the wires are attached to plastic terminal blocks on the controller, MATCH board, or reader.) However, when routing the wires for the Class 2 limited-power connectors, make sure that you maintain a safe separation of at least 0.25 inches from the wires for a
controller’s AC input power and the standby battery pack. For an illustration of this principle, see Figure 2-3, in section “Separation of Circuits”.
Identiv sells its controllers to licensed dealers (known as Identiv Channel Alliance Network partners), who employ trained installers who have been certified by the Identiv Academy. For more information, visit https://academy.identiv.com/.
Class 2 Limited-Power Connectors on an Mx Controller
The Mx controller can be configured to control either 2, 4, or 8 doors, depending on which model of the Command and Control Module (CCMx) is installed. It can be ordered with either SNIB2 or SNIB3 functionality.
The Mx controller’s main board has the following Class 2 limited-power connectors (listed here in clockwise order starting from the lower left side):
The four 3-wire alarm relay terminals generate different types of alarms (1 = General alarm, 2 = Duress alarm, 3 = Tamper alarm, and 4 = Trouble alarm), which can be handled separately to meet your specific needs.
These connectors will be Class 2 power-limited if the attached device’s external power source is Class 2 power-limited.
The Ethernet connector (and its associated DIP switches) enables you to connect to a LAN/WAN and securely communicate with the Velocity server.
The Expansion Board Connector is used to link any expansion boards mounted in the controller’s enclosure to the controller’s main board (using a flexible EBIC5 ribbon cable).
The 3-wire Door Relay terminal blocks (one for each door) are rated 30VDC at 5 Amps, and are used to control externally powered door access devices such as magnetic locks and electric strikes.
These connectors will be Class 2 power-limited if the attached device’s external power source is Class 2 power-limited.
The 3-wire Door Input terminal blocks (one for each door) are used for analog inputs, such as multi-state alarm inputs through the line modules, and two-state outputs such as magnetic locks and electric strikes.
The 5-wire MATCH terminal blocks (one for each door) are used for connecting the wiring from ScramblePad keypads or readers (through the MATCH2 Reader Interface Board). These are digital circuits which support daisy-chain connections to multiple devices on the same circuit.
The 6-wire Wiegand terminal blocks (one for each door) are used for connecting the wiring from a 12VDC keypad or reader with a Wiegand interface. These are designed to support a variety of 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz readers and credentials. For more information, see “Connecting Exit Readers to Unused Wiegand Terminals on Mx-2 or Mx-4 Controllers”.
The 5-wire SNIB2 RS485 Terminal (and its associated DIP switches) enables you to securely communicate with downstream controllers on a private network (which is managed by the same Velocity server).
The 3-pin Tamper Switch connector attaches to the corresponding 5-sided connector for the wiring of the plunger-style contact switch that indicates whether the door of the metal enclosure is closed or open.
