BEFORE YOU START

This Installation Guide explains how to install and configure the Openpath Embedded USB Smart Reader (SDC) as part of an Openpath Access Control system.

CONDUCTING SITE SURVEYS

Before installing Openpath hardware, conduct a customer site survey to determine the following:

• How many entries need to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and elevator floors)
• Whether you’re using legacy wiring or new wiring
• What kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms, and door contact sensors will be used and their power requirements.
• Whether you’re providing backup batteries for the SDCs. See SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY on page 6.
• Whether you’re supporting a legacy access control panel for mobile gateway

INSTALLATION

NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

An Ethernet connection with DHCP can be used to connect the SDC to the Local Area Network (LAN). You also need to configure firewall settings to communicate with the Openpath system, which uses the following outbound ports:

• TCP port 443
• UDP port 123

Note: If using an external DNS server, the outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.

To support Wi-Fi unlocking from the mobile app, the inbound TCP port 443 of the SDC must be available from within the LAN. Inbound port forwarding on the router, firewall, or NAT device is not required.

The SDC also supports Wi-Fi connections. Refer to NETWORK SETTINGS on page 17.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Openpath SDC can be powered with PoE, PoE+, and/or an external 12-24V supply. The SDC will automatically switch to the higher voltage source if both PoE and an external source are available. Openpath recommends using a backup battery in case of power failures on the external 12-24V supply or the PoE supply.

Operating Voltage: 12-24VDC
Input Rating: 12V @ 2A (min) or 24V @ 1A (min)

Output Ratings:

• Power Out connector can supply up to 100mA @ 12V or 50mA @ 24V
• 2 reader ports, max power output: 250mA @ 12V each
• 2 relays, max power output:
  • PoE: Max 3W combined output (e.g. 250mA @ 12V or 125mA @ 24V)
  • PoE+: Max 9W combined output (e.g. 750mA @ 12V or 375mA @ 24V)

SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY

While not required, Openpath recommends having a backup battery in case of power outages. The size of battery depends on your setup and how long you want to power the system.

Table 1 Power requirements (24V)

Assuming an external 24V power supply, an SDC configured with two Openpath Readers and locking hardware uses about 1.1 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged, you need 1.1A x 3 hours = 3.3 AH, so two 12V 4AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries in series.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The SDC can be mounted a few different ways: on a single or double gang box or on drywall.

INSTALL ON A STANDARD US 1-GANGE BOX

1. Use two 6-32 screws (A) to attach backplate (B) to gang box. Recommended: Use the provided drywall screws (C) and anchors (not shown) on drywall for added stability.
2. Snap on main housing (D) to backplate (B).
3. On the right side of the main housing (D), ensure that the two edge clips fit into their respective notches on the backplate (B).
4. Press firmly on the main housing (D) to snap into place.
5. Partially unscrew the pre-installed M4 set screw (E) to secure main housing (D) to backplate (B).

MONITOR TAMPER ALERTS
The front cover of the SDC has a built-in tamper sensor and will report tamper events when the cover is removed. You can monitor tamper events using the Tamper Detector State Changed alert. Refer to How do I set up alerts?

WIRING OPENPATH READERS
Openpath Readers and SDCs communicate via RS-485. The following wire types are compatible, listed in the order of preference which impacts distance

• Shielded CAT6A (recommended, additional two pairs can be used for sensors)
• Shielded CAT6
• Shielded RS485 w/22-24AWG (lower gauge, thicker wire is better)
• Shielded CAT5
• Unshielded CAT6
• Unshielded CAT5
• Shielded 22/6
• Unshielded 22/6

Ideally, use one twisted pair for GND and VIN (power) and one twisted pair for +B and -A (data).

Note: The Openpath Embedded USB Smart Reader can be wired via RS-485, or connected using the micro USB port and the cable provided in the box. Only one method, RS-485 or micro USB port, can be used at the same time. For more information, see the Openpath Embedded USB Smart Reader Datasheet and the Openpath Embedded USB Smart Reader Installation Instructions (included in the box). The Openpath Embedded USB Smart Reader supports only Openpath Mifare or DESFire EV3 card credentials. Mobile credentials are not supported at this time

Recommended maximum cable length: 300 ft (91 m) with CAT6 or 500 ft (152 m) if two wire pairs are used for GND and VIN (power).

For shielded wiring: Connect one side of the drain wire (the shield around the wires) to the GND terminal on the SDC. Both the shield and the GND wire can share the same GND terminal. Do not connect the other side of the shield to anything.

For standard reader installation: We recommend that you install a 1-Gang 20 CU box in order to flush-mount the reader. Alternatively, the reader may also be surface  mounted with the included back plate

Note: For elevators, all relays and readers must be connected to the same SDC. If you need more than four access controlled floors or readers, add the Openpath Elevator Expansion Module.

WARNING: Always remove power from the SDC and locking hardware when wiring readers and other devices. Failure to do so can damage the SDC.

STANDARD WIRING CONFIGURATION

WIRING FAIL SAFE AND FAIL SECURE LOCKING HARDWARE

Fail safe and fail secure are ways of configuring locking hardware:

• Fail safe hardware unlocks when power is interrupted.
• Fail secure hardware locks when power is interrupted.

VOLTAGE SWITCHES

WARNING: Remove the DC Input Power and PoE before changing the voltage of the relays.

To power locking hardware without an external supply (Wet Relay), select 12V or 24V, and connect locking hardware to NO and GND (for fail secure locks) or NC and GND (for fail safe locks)

To use external power, select DRY and use NO or NC and C, and wire to external supply

RESETTING THE SDC
SOFT RESET
To soft reset the SDC, disconnect power from the SDC, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power.

HARD RESET

WARNING: Only hard reset the SDC if absolutely necessary and if instructed by Openpath. This will clear all of the data off of the ACU and will require reprovisioning.

1. Disconnect power from the SDC.
2. Press the ADMIN button for 15 seconds (see Figure 6 on page 16).
3. While still pressing the ADMIN button, reconnect the power, and continue to hold the button for another 15 seconds until the Status LED turns yellow, then release.
4. Wait 15 minutes or until the Status LED turns blue before PROVISIONING THE SDC on page 11.

LEGACY WIRING
Sometimes legacy wiring (unshielded and straight through, rather than shielded twisted pair, often 22-6) results in slower connections and dropped packets between the Openpath Reader and SDC. To remedy this, you can switch GND and VIN with +B and -A connections on the SDC and readers to ensure the data pair (+B and -A) are using the alternate pair of legacy wires.
