Use these installation instructions to install a V Series Controller. The
controller allows the V Series electronics to be separate from a door’s
locking mechanism and to be located up to 500 feet away from the lock-
ing mechanism. The controller provides V Series electronic features for
use with electrically-controlled locking devices.
The controller is well-suited to provide access control for:
■ exit devices
■ glass doors
■ non-standard doors
■ turnstiles
■ doors controlled by electric strikes or magnetic locks
■ electrically-operated mortise or cylindrical locks.
The controller is suitable for use with interior or exterior doors. The con-
troller has an adaptable power supply input that accepts 12 to 24 volts
AC or DC. A backup battery supports the controller’s programming in
the event of a power failure. All controller functions are shut down while
under backup power.
The main role of the controller is to control the operation of the locking
device connected to the controller. A reader can be connected to the
controller to provide a means for users to access the door controlled by
the controller.
Figure 2 shows the relationship between the controller and the other
possible components in the access control system for the door.
The controller can accept a request-to-exit signal from a lock or a sepa-
rate request-to-exit device, such as a button, can be connected to the
controller. When someone turns a door knob with a request-to-exit fea-
ture, or presses a request-to-exit button, the controller does not trigger
an alarm when the door is opened. If the controller is programmed for
the RQE unlock feature, the controller also unlocks the door.
A remote unlock device, such as a button, can be connected to a control-
ler. This device can be located away from the door. When someone, such
as a receptionist, presses the remote unlock button, the controller
unlocks the door if programmed for the remote unlock feature.
The controller can monitor the door’s status. If the door is opened with-
out use of a valid access method, the controller can trigger a door forced
alarm. The controller can monitor whether the door has been open too
long. The controller also can supervise a tamper switch, which can be
used to protect the controller enclosure or another device. The control-
ler’s alarm output can trigger an external alerting device, such as a siren
or strobe light, or a security system.
Installation overview
Caution: To prevent damage, always wear a properly
grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when
installing the controller.
1 Prepare to mount the enclosure
a Unpackage the controller.
b Check that you have the following components, in addition to these
instructions:
▲ enclosure with circuit boards and battery pack installed
▲ magnetic stripe reader (optional)
▲ keypad reader with V Series Keypad Security Device Programming
Guide (optional)
▲ proximity reader (optional)
▲ remote RS-232 connector (optional)
▲ temporary access cards (for magnetic stripe and proximity read-
ers only)
▲ V Series Controller Enclosure Drilling Template (V05).
c Read these instructions carefully before you begin installation.
Note: Wire gauge and length requirements for each device to be con-
nected to the controller are included in Figure 1.
d Reference the V05 template to select a location for the controller
enclosure. Get four mounting screws suitable for the selected
mounting surface.
e If you are running cables to the enclosure through the wall or ceiling,
drill any necessary cable entry holes for the cables.
f Run all necessary cables to the selected mounting location.
2 Mount the enclosure
a Referencing the V05 template, install the four mounting screws for
the enclosure. Do not tighten the screws completely.
b If you ran cables through the wall or ceiling to the enclosure, hold
the enclosure near the selected mounting location and feed the
cables through the appropriate cable entry holes into the enclosure.
Note: In addition to the cable entry hole in the back of the enclosure
above the controller board, there are cable entry holes in the sides, top,
and bottom of the enclosure.
c With the enclosure door removed, hang the enclosure on the four
mounting screws and slide it into position so that the screws are in
the narrow part of the keyhole-shaped mounting holes. Then,
tighten the mounting screws.
3 Connect devices to the controller board
You can connect the devices listed below to the controller board. Refer
to Table 1 and to Figure 1.
■ Locking device. Use the locking device output. Set the locking
device jumper (J1).
■ Magnetic stripe or proximity card reader or keypad reader
(optional). Use the reader output, reader communications input, and
reader power output. Set DIP switches 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Also, set the
power jumper (J3).
Note: Standard readers are the Mercury Security, MR–5 (magnetic
stripe card reader), the Essex KTP–71212XX (keypad reader), the Motor-
ola ASR603, and the HID MB–5398 (proximity readers). To determine
whether another reader is compatible with the controller, refer to the
specifications provided in Table 1 for the reader output, reader commu-
nications input, and reader power output.
■ Door status switch and/or door latch monitor (optional). Use the
door status/latch monitor input.
■ Request-to-exit device (optional). Use the request-to-exit input.
■ Remote unlock device (optional). Use the remote unlock input.
■ Tamper switch (optional). Use the tamper switch input.
■ Security system or alerting device (optional). Use the alarm out-
put.
■ Remote RS-232 connector (optional). Use the controller board’s
RS-232 connector.
■ Shielding & grounding. Connect all cable shielding to the ground-
ing screw located to the right of the circuit board. Then connect the
grounding screw connection to earth ground.
