Before you begin
This guide discusses each wiring process separately. Understanding all of these processes makes a project much simpler and helps guarantee success. To install a Reader Controller unit, you must complete four key tasks:
- Mount the Reader Controller in the appropriate location. Recommended locations and wiring methods shall be in accordance with 1) the National Electrical Code, {ANSI/NFPA 70}; 2) International Building Code {IBC}, and 3) the Americans with Disabilities Act {ADA}.
- Supply power to the Reader Controller. This may be accomplished with power being provided on the Ethernet data cable (Power over Ethernet [PoE / PoE+ / IEEE 802.3af]) or through an external DC power source (12VDC). When powering from PoE or PoE+, in order for the system to be UL294 V7 compliant, the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) injector or endpoint must be compliant with UL294 or UL294B standards.
- Wire the unit to the door’s locks and other components for physical access control.
- Connect the unit to the data network for communication with the host access control system.
The Reader Controller complies with UL 294 V6 and is rated for the following performance levels:
Standby power | Level I |
---|---|
Endurance | Level IV |
Line Security | Level I |
Destructive Attack | Level I (ASM required) |
General requirements
- If PoE is not being used, then use only UL-listed, access control, power-limited power supplies with an ‘AC on’ indicator light clearly visible on the enclosure. Power supplies should provide at least four hours of standby power.

Installation location guidelines
When selecting the location where you are going to mount the Reader Controller, a few guidelines should be observed.
- In humid environments, a drip-loop should be formed in the Reader Controller’s cables, before the cables enter the unit.
- The Reader Controller should be protected from extreme heat and sunlight. It is rated for conditions up to 151 F. A direct southern exposure, in the Southwest area of the United States may exceed these ratings.
- The cables extending from the back of the Reader Controller’s field wiring cable is available in a two standard lengths (10′ or 25′ [3 m or 7.62 m]). The door wiring must terminate within that distance or less than 98′ (30 m) from the Reader Controller.
- The wall mounting templates are shown in Figure 1.1: RC11 Mounting and Figure 1.2: RC15/RCK15 Mounting.
- The selected location should meet ADA requirements. Check local regulations for more information.
Reader controller reset button
The reset button is located on the back of the Reader Controller. It can be used for two different types of resets.
- The Reader Controller must be connected to the network before initiating reset.
Network reset
Press and hold the reset button until one green LED flash and one short beep,
(approx. five secs.) then release. Successful network reset is indicated by
one LED flash and one short beep. A network reset reestablishes the network
connection using the current network settings. The certificate file and domain
routing information is reestablished prior to reforming the connection to the
host access control system.
Factory default reset
Press and hold the reset button until two green LED flashes and two beeps
(approx. 10 secs.), then release. Successful factory default reset is
indicated by a long steady green light and long beep. A Factory Default Reset
(FDR) will return the Reader Controller settings to the original settings as
shipped from the factory. Removes configurations, databases, and requires the
lock to be re-captured. A FDR will not remove the device from your ENGAGE
account.

Wiring
Powering the reader controllers
- A direct connection to a power source is required.
- Reader controllers can be powered with 12 volts DC or PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power and the supply must be regulated.
NOTICE
Never connect 24VDC to the Reader Controller. 24V will damage the device and
will void the unit’s warranty.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) option
- PoE allows one cable to supply data and power to the Reader Controller, which in turn can then supply 12VDC to the door’s electronic lock.
- If your network switches do not support PoE, then a PoE Injector can be used to augment the switch’s output with PoE power. A PoE injector is normally located close to your existing network hub/switch, and the PoE Injector itself is plugged directly into a standard AC outlet, or for extra reliability, a UPS with battery backup.
- A standard CAT5/6 cable is then run between the PoE source (Injector or switch) and the Reader Controller which will be located right next to the door. The CAT5/6 cable can be up to 100 Meters (328 feet) long, including all patch cables and patch panels.
Supplying 12 VDC to door components from the PoE-powered Reader
Controller
When the Reader Controller is powered by PoE, the reader can supply 0.6 amps
@12 VDC power for external components. This DC power is available via two
field wiring wires.
- The red field wiring is typically used to control the door’s lock. The red wire’s 12VDC output will be activated/deactivated when the reader is operating the door’s lock. This connection has a built-in current limiting feature to prevent the lock from consuming too much power.
- The orange field wiring provides a source of continuously-available 12VDC power for other desired devices.
Door wiring
Door wiring should be done before power is connected to every Reader
Controller.
Example devices:
- Electronic door latch
- Request to exit (REX) devices like a REX button or motion detector
- Door sensors
- Figure 2.2: Typical configuration of equipment at the door
Reader controller control-leads
- Field wiring consists of 12 wire leads (22AWG) which are used to connect to the various components at the door location. Most installations do not require the use of all the leads. The usage of each available lead is shown in Figure 2.3: Reader controller field wiring color codes.
- The controllers have a lock-control circuit. This circuit provides conditioned 12VDC power up to 600mA and can be directly connected to the electronic lock to unlock the door when a valid credential is presented.
- The usage of each lead will be detailed in the next few pages.
- Field wiring cable length must remain under 98′ (30 m).

Lock wiring using PoE
The Reader Controller supports a simplified configuration when PoE is being
used to supply the lock’s power.
- Connect the red wire on the Reader Controller to the positive lead of the electric lock. See Figure 2.4: Typical fail-secure door lock wiring
- Connect the negative lead of the lock to the black wire on the Reader Controller.
- See Managing Inductive Load Challenges on page 20 for more info regarding the use of the BackEMF diode.
Door sensor wiring
- Connecting the Reader Controller to a door sensor allows the host access control system to detect if the door is ajar. Then the host access control system can create alarms based on the door’s state.
- First, connect one terminal of the door sensor to the reader’s blue wire. Then connect the door sensor’s other terminal to the Reader Controller’s common ground wire (black).
Advanced Security Module (ASM) wiring
The Reader Controller has an optional ASM, which allows you to isolate the
door’s lock control circuitry on the secure side of the building.
The ASM contains a form-C relay with dry-contacts that are rated for 3 amps of current @ 30 Volts. It can also be used in cases where the Reader Controller is switching an externally supplied voltage or an external control signal. Examples of such usages include operating a 24VDC lock or switching a logic signal for a garage door opener.
Two methods of connecting the ASM are shown. Figure 2.6: ASM with Reader Controller supplying PoE power shows powering both the lock and the ASM with the Reader controller’s PoE power. Figure 2.7: ASM with lock running on 24V external power shows powering the ASM with the Reader controller’s PoE power output, and the lock with an external 24-volt power supply.
ASM Wire Conductor Preparation:
- Strip back the wire insulation: 0.25″ to 0.281″ (6 mm to 7 mm).
- Acceptable single conductor sizes: 26 gauge to 15 gauge
- Acceptable two conductors sizes: 26 gauge to 15 gauge
- Note for multi-stranded conductors: Avoid allowing any stray wire strands from contacting the adjacent terminal block connection.
Twist the multi-strands together prior to insertion. Lightly solder-tinning the exposed wire can help prevent stray strands.

Configuring communications
The Reader Controller can communicate with a variety of access control software platforms. Contact your sales associate for a complete list. The reader controllers communicate over the network to the host system. Below are best practices on this configuration.
Reader controllers to host software
- Many other Ethernet network topology permutations exist. This is the most common Ethernet configuration used by Schlage customers.
This is the simplest type of network connection. The Reader Controller is an IOT-style device that requires minimal network configuration to function. The physical access control partner’s host system provides a cloud instance of the host software. The reader controllers must be configured to connect to the host software. The ENGAGE Mobile Application provides the interface to capture and commission a unit with the initial configurations required to connect to the host software. The following configurations are needed to direct the Reader Controller to connect to the host software:
Notice:
Prior to capturing and commissioning, the reader control must be fully
installed in its intended location (including the cover).
- WebSocket Server URL
- Certificate Authority Server URL
Addressing:
The recommended best practice is to let the local network’s DHCP service
assign the IP Address to each reader. As an alternate, you can manually assign
the reader’s IP Address. To allow the reader to successfully reach the host
software, the following settings are required:
- Static IP Address that is valid on the local subnetwork
- IP Address of the local subnetwork’s gateway.
- Subnet Mask
- DNS server’s IP Address
- Alternate DNS server’s IP Address
Here are a couple of guidelines to follow to ensure that your network’s configuration will support the Schlage access system.
- The Reader Controller is a standard “network appliance.” Standard TCP/IP networking rules apply.
- DHCP Configuration
- If the reader controllers are to be left on DHCP it is strongly recommended to use reservations, so the IP address does not need to be renewed.
- Network Configuration
- A common best practice is to place the reader controllers in a dedicated subnet
- The PoE switch should have enough power to run all ports and account for rush. (IE. A switch restart which would cause all readers to restart.)
Power options
PoE Power Budget Calculations
When planning an installation using PoE, you need to validate that the PoE source (PoE Injector or PoE-equipped Network Switch) supplying the PoE power is sized properly for all the attached PoE devices. To do this, you total up the power draw (in watts) of the PoE connections and compare that total power draw to the rated capacity of the PoE source.
When the Reader Controller is dual powered there may be an increased number of power audits. If the 12VDC regulated power supply voltage fluctuates above 12.1VDC the Reader Controller will transition from the PoE source to the DC power supply, resulting in an audit. Likewise when the DC power supply drops below 12.1VDC the Reader Controller will transition from the DC power supply to the PSE, resulting in another audit.
Table 4.1: Expected PoE power draws of the reader controllers
Door Location Configuration| PoE Power Requirement
Reader controller| 2.65 W
Reader controller with Electronic Lock (300 mA @ 12V)| 6.26 W
Reader controller with Electronic Lock (600 mA @ 12V)| 9.85 W
* Ethernet cabling power losses not included. Losses range from being negligible for short Cat5/6 cables, up to about 16% for 100 meter Cat5/6 cables.
To meet the Reader Controller’s variable PoE power requirements, the Reader Controller will classify itself with the PoE source as a “Class 0” PoE device. The power usage of a Class 0 device can range between 0.4 to 13.0 watts at the device (up to 15.4 watts from the PoE source).
Some network PoE equipment will budget and allocate its distribution of PoE power based on the maximum power usage of each attached device’s classification. If your network equipment uses this power provisioning technique, then you should budget 15.4 watts for each Reader Controller. Such network PoE Equipment may allow you to manually configure the amount of power that should be allocated to each device. Configuring the PoE equipment for an allocation of 3.0 watts or 11.0 watts per connection would be appropriate. When powering from PoE or PoE+, in order for the system to be UL294 V7 compliant, the PoE injector or endpoint must be compliant with UL294 or UL294B standards.
Using PoE over longer cable distances:
The Reader Controller can be powered via PoE on cable runs up to 328′ (100 m)
long (the standard Ethernet cable limit). For Reader Controller locations that
have longer cable runs (> 164′ [50 m]), extra care should be given to the
planning and installation of the network cabling. The PoE power delivery
system will run at about 80% of the allowable capacity when powering a 600mA
lock over a 100-meter cable run.
For these long cable run installations, here are some items to focus on:
- Cabling:
- Use high-quality Ethernet cabling (Cat 5e or Cat 6). Please note that the power loss over a Cat 6 cable is about 30 less than the power loss on a Cat5e cable
- Cable Length. The 100-meter limit needs to include any patch cords and patch panels.
- Follow IEEE/TIA installation best practices.
- PoE Source
- The PoE Source (PoE Network switch or PoE Injector) meets the IEEE 802.3af standard.
- The PoE Source is properly sized to supply 15.4 watts/port. (Cabling power loss can be up to 2.5 watts/cable)
Additional power options
- Most installations will use PoE for the Reader Controller and door locks to control a door using a single, standard network cable.
- There are many additional options available if the door location requires more power than a standard PoE-powered Reader Controller can provide.
- The different options require different configurations of the supporting equipment and/or building wiring. Table 4.2: Power option configurations and Figure 4.1: Power options describes some of these power options.
Table 4.2: Power option configurations

Dual power sources
Typical Reader Controller install with:
- Redundant power supplies
- Input power: PoE
- Input power: 12VDC
Solution highlights
- Improve the ACS fault-tolerance design by supplying the Reader Controller with electrical power from two independent power sources.
- With this design, if the Reader Controller’s connection to the PoE New York switch is lost, the Reader Controller will automatically begin to draw its power from the DC power source.
Installation tips
- Schottky Diode:
- Manufacturer: Vishay/General Semiconductor
- P/N: SB560-E3/54 or equivalent

Wiring two readers to one lock
If you are wiring both sides of the door to control IN and OUT access, then
you will have the special condition of wiring two reader controllers to a
single locking mechanism. The “Inside” Reader Controller controls the door,
and is wired to the door’s components, such as the lock and door-sense switch.
Use the following steps to cause the “outside” Reader Controller to activate
the REX input on the “Inside” Reader Controller.
Steps
Figure 5.1: Two readers to one lock wiring
- Wire the “Inside” reader normally
- Connect an ASM to the “Outside” reader
- Connect the “Inside” reader’s REX input to the “NO” terminal of the ASM.
- Connect the “Inside” reader’s black wire to the Common terminal of the ASM.
- If the door also has a REX device, wire the REX device “in parallel” to the ASM.
Programming
“Inside” Reader Controller must be programmed to activate the lock upon a REX
input event.
Managing inductive load challenges
Most door latches use a relay coil that powers up and down when the door is unlocked and locked. When this happens, a pulse of electrical energy is produced by the lock’s coil. This pulse is called back EMF and can interfere with the reader’s operation. Switching off a typical 12 VDC relay coil can produce a back EMF pulse of 300 volts or more. If this voltage pulse is allowed to flow back into the reader, it can cause the reader to “brown out” and the reader will reboot.
Figure 5.2: Inductive load control (two options shown) shows a solution. You can virtually eliminate back EMF by installing a transient suppression device (diode). Each Reader Controller is supplied with a diode assembly, which simplifies the installation process. A standard diode, from any electronic supply store, can also be used. Always check that the diode is correctly rated for the circuit voltage. For optimum performance, the diode should be installed at the lock or close to the lock. Standard diodes have a stripe-band marking on one side. That side of the diode should be connected to the “+” wire of the lock circuit.
Protect the Digital Output
- Which type of transient suppressor should you install? This depends mainly on the type of inductive load being switched. Some locks have Back EMF protection built into the lock itself.
- For Back EMF in low-voltage DC applications, a 1N4007 diode will suffice.
- However, for protection against other transient voltages (i.e. lightning), we recommend using a fast-switching transient voltage suppressor.
PoE: Magnetic lock, ASM, and PIR
Typical Reader Controller install with:
- Magnetic lock
- ASM
- PIR motion detector
- In-rush suppressor
- Door open sensor
- PoE splitter
- Input power
- PoE to the PoE splitter
- 12VDC from splitter to components
Installation tips
- PoE splitter and fuse isolated the magnetic lock’s power source to the inside of the facility
- See Advanced Security Module (ASM) wiring for more information.
- Splitter 12V to ASM power input and ASM relay common contact
- ACC-IRS-4700 – Red wire goes to the 12V supply (PoE splitter)
- 0.5 Amp fast-acting fuse: Littelfuse PN: 0208.500MXP or equivalent
