Installation:

Check the cut-out dimensions. For retrofit, remove the existing rack handles and check the cut-out dimensions (see picture below for typical front door and rear door). Keep the cam from the existing handles (used in Step 4).
Note: The Smart-Handle can be retrofitted on racks subject to the door having cut-out dimensions 125mmx50mm.

  1. ENCONNEX SmartSWING Intelligent Electronic Swing Handle - Installation 1

  2. Push the Smart-Handle through the cut-out in the door.

  3. Put the metal back cover on the inside of the handle and insert the 3 screws to secure the handle in place, alternate between the screws while tightening to prevent skewing of the handle.


  4. Place the door cam over the handle spindle and then a thick or thin door limiter using the spring screw to secure the mechanism. (For retrofit, re-use the front and rear door cam). Check the cam closes snuggly when the handle is rotated. Swap the door limiters or slightly bend the cam if the cam hits the rack frame.

Door

  2. Connect the RJ45 coupler and Blue Network Extension Cable to the Blue Network Cable.

  3. Route and fix the network cable using cable ties and adhesive pads. Ensure the network cable has slack on the hinge side of the door so that it does not get pinched. Ensure the RJ45 coupler is positioned near the hinge to enable the network cable to be disconnected and allow the easy removal of the door (if required).

  4. Install the Cable Protect Cover by placing it over the back of the Smart-handle and sliding the Cable Protect Cover-up.

  5. Connect the blue Network cable to the RJ45 Sensor Port on either the IPDU, in-line meter, or sensor POD. The Smart-handle LED light should now be illuminated.

Rear Door

  1. The network connection for the rear door is the same as the front door.
  2. Ensure the network cable has slack on the hinge side of the door so that it does not get pinched.
  3. Connect the RED Network cable to the RJ45 Sensor Port on either the IPDU or sensor POD

Door Switch Sensor

  1. The Door Switch Sensor consists of two parts:
    ● 1.2m cable to 5pin connector with Door switch sensor
    ● Magnet

  2. Plug the 5pin connector into the back of the Smart-handle.

  3. Route and attach the 1.2m cable to the inside of the door and attach the switch sensor to the door using a dual adhesive pad or screws. In most instances, the best location is near the top of the door on the handle side.

  4. Close the door and locate the position on the frame inside the rack that corresponds to the location of the switch sensor.

  5. Open the door and attach the Magnet to the frame in the location identified using a dual adhesive pad or M3 tapping screws.

  6. The magnet and switch sensor must come into contact when the door is closed for the sensor to determine door closed status.

Lock:

  1. The Euro profile lock barrel can be replaced with an alternate lock barrel either before or after the handle is installed.
  2. Removing the lock retaining screw.
  3. Slide the lock cylinder barrel out of the Smart-handle and replace it with the alternate barrel.
  4. Re-install the lock retaining screw.

Note: The lock barrels supplied by Logical Infrastructure are designed specifically for use with the Smart handle. Other lock barrels may result in reduced Smart-handle functionality.

Environmental Sensors:

  1. The Smart-handle has an internal temperature and humidity sensor.

Sensors

  2. One additional environmental sensor (not supplied in the Smart-handle kit) can be attached to the spare port on the Smart-handle.

Configuration:

  1. The front door of a rack is referred to as the “cold aisle” and the rear door as the “hot aisle”.
  2. After fitting the Smart-handle ensure that the dip switch is correctly selected for “hot aisle” or “cold aisle” appropriate to the rack orientation.

Operate with PDU:

1. Setup:
The Smart-handle can be connected to PDU before or after PDU power-up, it usually takes 10 to 50 seconds for the Smart-handle detected by PDU, once the Smart-handle detected, the sensor handle, keyed lock and relevant information can be found from PDU’s local display, web GUI or SNMP interface.
Local Display: Select menu item sensor, use the scroll button to view all connected sensors SNMP – refer to PDU SNMP description
Web GUI:
Once the Smart-handle is detected, login to PDU’s web GUI, handle lock, and door switch status will be shown on the home page under the “Security” tag:

Authorize rf id card user
An ID card user needs to be defined given card ID and user name. The card ID is the property of an HID card or Mifare card, which is different from the number printed on the card in most cases, to get the card ID, present the card in front of the reading area on the handle, the handle led will blink orange, and then guide check the event log of the PDU(it takes about 30 seconds for the PDU to pull the latest event from Handle), the log should include items like the following:

FAQ:

  • What if the smart-Handle fails how do I access my IT cabinet? Use the override key provided to manually open the swing handle.
  • Does the smart-Handle fail-safe if power is lost or the communications cable is disconnected? Yes, the smart-Handle will stay in the locked position and when powered up again will automatically check that the latch is in the locked position
  • Is the smart-Handle self-latching? Yes, as long as the key barrel is in the 12 o’clock lock position and the electronic latch in the lock position once the swing handle is closed, the latch will allow the key cam to push up the latch and the spring action will drive the latch back down.
  • Can I use my own Euro profile lock barrel? Yes, if the barrel is a standard Euro profile.
  • My current multi-point rode systems gearbox does not fit the smart-Handle where can I get a gearbox that works with my multi-point rod system? We can design a compatible gearbox as an optional extra. Please contact with our sales.
  • I’m trying to use my internal company’s swipe card and it isn’t working why? Your company’s swipe cards may be encrypted to your building management system card readers. The smart-Handle requires an open sector on your card in order to read the CSN number.
  • I’ve connected my smart-Handle to my building management system but it’s not working why? The smart handle uses the RS485 protocol and only approved vendor hardware is supported by our Firmware. Please contact our sales to discuss your requirements.
  • I’ve lost some parts, can I buy spares. Yes, please contact our sales and we will get in contact with you regarding your requirement.
  • Can you integrate with third-party access control systems? Yes and No it depends on the communication of the protocol being used by the third-party system and whether the third-party vendor is open to integrating the smart-Handle into their system, please contact our sales to discuss in more detail.
  • How accurate is the supplied temperature and humidity sensor? The sensors are accurate up to 2 degrees and 5% humidity and have been calibrated to react slowly to changes to avoid large swings in temperature and humidity when the door is opened and closed for short periods of time. This setup is designed to give the user stable readings and avoid unnecessary threshold alarms.

Troubleshooting:

  • The LED light on my smart-Handle has not turned on. Make sure the communications cable is plugged into the correct port on the smart-Handle.
  • My smart-Handle has a flashing blue/red LED. Make sure the supplied door switch sensor is connected to the smart-Handle and that the magnet has been installed correctly.
  • The aisle setting on my smart-Handle is not correct and I’ve switched it into the correct position, but the aisle detail has not changed. Power down the smart-Handle by disconnecting the communications cable make sure the dip switch is in the desired position and re-power up the smart-Handle and allow the smart handle to reboot and sync, this should resolve the issue.
