safetrust Sabre Inline/Relay SA350 Combination Bluetooth Low Energy
Reader
Introduction
Product Overview
The SABRE is available as an INLINE or a RELAY device. Both products make it
easy to upgrade any existing access control system with mobile access, without
giving up support for physical access cards. When connected between a host
reader and a physical access control panel, the SABRE enables mobile devices
and wearables to be used as a replacement or in-conjunction with existing card
technologies.
The SABRE INLINE and the SABRE RELAY sensors contain onboard Wi-Fi which permits two-way communication with the Credential Manager for OTA remote management and configuration.
The SABRE RELAY is an extension of the INLINE device with additional access controller management capabilities. The RELAY is ideally suited for parking garages, remote buildings and single door offices where no existing cabling or reader infrastructure exists. If you order the SABRE INLINE it will come without the relay section of the board.

Installation
Step 1: Wire your INLINE or RELAY device
Note: This guide assumes you have already created an Identity System
within the Credential Manager platform and assigned credentials to that
system.
If you have not done so, please refer to the Safetrust Onboarding Guide before
completing the sensor installation.
- Panel Connector – Supports pass through Wiegand or translates Wiegand to RS-485 (OSDP). Includes supplemental I/O for special applications.
- Reader Connector – Wires into a legacy reader providing pass through Wiegand, LEDs and buzzer. Supplemental trigger output.
- Relay Connector (Relay version) – Offers a Form C relay and solid state relay I/O. Perfect for parking gates and other custom aplications.
Electrical
Installation and Disclaimer
Please consult your local jurisdiction to determine what licenses are required
to install or modify a low voltage electrical access control and alarm system.
Instructions in this document do not provide authority or endorsement to
install this device if you are not authorized to do so in accordance with the
laws in which the device will be installed.
RS-485 Termination
The device is self terminating, however over long cable runs and in multi-drop
lines it maybe necessary to provide additional termination. Please consult the
RS-485 (EIA/TIA-485-A) specification if you notice noise or instability in
your installation for information on correct termination procedures.
Please note that this device operates at 3.3v and may be configured to operate at the higher end of the RS-485 specification of 5v. 5v provides greater reliability over longer distances, however most access control peripherals operate at the lower end of 3.3v and as such, please consult with your panel manufacturer for permitted line voltage levels. In most cases panels are compliant with RS-485 and accept the range 2.5 – 5v.
Standard Wiegand Wiring
For pass through Wiegand, connect the Wiegand wires from the reader to the
‘Data 0 RS-485 A’ and ‘Data 1 RS-485 B’ connections on the reader connector of
the Inline/Relay, and connect the ‘Data 0’ and ‘Data 1’ outputs from the panel
connector to the Wiegand input on the panel. OSDP Wiring
For Wiegand translated to RS-485 (OSDP), connect the wires the same way as
above between the reader and the Inline/Relay, and connect the ‘RS-485 A’ and
‘RS-485 B’ outputs from the panel connector to the RS-485/OSDP input on the
panel. 
Step 2:
Open the Safetrust Wallet
The Safetrust Wallet App communicates with the sensor via Bluetooth and
configures the sensor for an Identity System.
Setup:
- Open your Safetrust Wallet App or download it from the App Store or Google Play if you haven’t already.
- Login with Google Sign-In or with the username and password that you set your Safetrust account up with.
Select the Manage Sensor tab from the navigation on the left hand side.
Step 3: Choose
a sensor to manage
With the Manage Sensor tab open, bring the phone in range of the SABRE and
once visible from the App, click on the sensor.
Note: You may need to click the refresh button in the top right hand
corner.
Once the sensor is highlighted, click CONFIGURE from the bottom options.
Step 4: Input
sensor information
The settings show a range of configuration options for the sensor, however the
following fields are the main settings that require action at this time.
Setup:
- Choose an Identity System.
- Specify the Type of access from the dropdown (eg. Door, Gate etc.)
- Assign a short Name and Description using alphanumeric characters.
- Choose an Output for the sensor (the default is set to Wiegand).
Configuring
WiFi:
To connect the sensor to a WiFi network, click the ‘Configure Wifi’ toggle
button. Switching the toggle will reveal additional settings below.
Click the
‘Choose a network’ setting or type in the Wifi Name in the ‘Wifi Name’ field.
If your network is not listed, try clicking the refresh icon next to ‘Choose a
network’. 
Choose the network type – Personal or Enterprise
For Enterprise 802.1X networks, click the ‘Root certificate’ and ‘Client p12’
buttons to upload your certificates. Type the P12 password in the ‘P12
password’ field. 
Activation Distance
Set the Activation Distance for your sensor between touch and 50 ft (15m). The
distance will automatically be set to 30cm, meaning a user needs to be within
30cm in order to “Auto Authenticate” to the reader. Anti-passback
The Anti-Passback setting defines the number of seconds between each attempt
to resend a mobile credential.
Anti-Passback can be used to prevent users from passing their credential back
for another user to borrow and to stop users entering an area by simply
following or tailgating another user. OSDP Output:
If the Output is set to OSDP, select the Serial Baudrate and set the Device ID
to match the settings of the access control panel.
Once you have adjusted all the configuration settings, scroll to the bottom of
the page and click SUBMIT to successfully complete the sensor configuration.
Step
5: Configuration complete!
When the SABRE information is saved successfully to Credential Manager and
assigned to the Identity System, the new description will appear in the Manage
Sensor tab with a unique serial number assigned.
Getting Access:
- To open the door, simply present your mobile device running the Safetrust Wallet application to the reader.
- When the phone is within the configured activation range, the LED on the assigned credential for this sensor will turn yellow.
- If “Auto Authenticate” is enabled for the mobile credential, the credential will be sent to the SABRE whenever the mobile device is within the activation zone.
