Installation Diagrams

Wiring

Warning: Do not connect wires when the power is on!

Note:

1. This device supports normally open (NO) and normally close (NC) locks which can be connected to different terminals for different functions.
2. At the moment when the electric lock is turned on or off, the electric lock generates a self-induced electromotive force. To prevent the impact of the self-induced electromotive force on the access control system, it is necessary to connect an FR107 diode in parallel to the electric lock during the wiring of the access control system to release the self-induced electromotive. The FR107 diode is randomly provided. Do not reverse its positive and negative poles.
3. If an extension cable needs to be connected between the all-in-one device and the controller, we recommend that you use a Category 6 or above unshielded network cable; otherwise, the voltage drop may occur on the extension cable, resulting in an unstable card reading effect.

The device and the lock share the power supply , as shown in Figure 1-1:

Note:

1. UNLOCK = 12 V, and I < iDevice + ILOCK
2. Or ULOCK ≠ 12 V
3. Or the lock is far from the device.

The device and the lock do not share the power supply, as shown in Figures 1-2:

Note:

1. UNLOCK = 12 V, and I < IDEVICE + ILOCK
2. Or ULOCK ≠ 12 V
3. Or the lock is far from the device.

indicate the output current of the device power supply, ULOCK indicates the operating voltage of the lock, and ILOCK indicates the operating current of the lock.

Connect the power supply.

The device uses a DC 12V power supply and external cables are connected directly to the mainboard. The operating current is equal to or less than 200mA ,  and the standby current is equal to or less than 150mA. The power supply can work after its positive and negative poles are connected to +12V and GND terminals respectively. Do not reverse its positive and negative poles.

Connect other devices
