INSTALLATION MANUAL
Introduction
Cansec Systems’ Webster mini incorporates a mini-computer called the Panel
Logic Module (PLM) utilizing Ethernet connectivity and an Input Output Module
(IOM) which incorporates a 64-bit processor in this new architecture. This
allows for a fast, high capacity access control system with a lower cost per
reader/door system implementation. The Webster mini architecture has the
ability to flash applications and firmware updates into the control panel
using the Ethernet connection.
The standard Webster mini is provisioned for only one door and 5,000
individual cardholders, using raw Wiegand data up to 64 bits per card ID. This
allows the use of many proprietary Wiegand cards without the need for data
conversion. The readerscan be Cansec’s CanProx One Proximity Readers (AWID or
HID card technology) or one of many other popular Wiegand readers.
Key Features
- 255 Access Schedules
- Supports 5,000 individual user card IDs

Specification Notes
CAUTION: EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN
Emergency lockdown functions must operate totally independent of the access
control system and must not rely on operation of card readers, access control
panels, communications networks, communications devices or host software.
Cansec accepts no responsibility for direct or consequential damages resulting
from the failure of emergency lockdown functions which are dependent in any
way on the operation of card readers, access control panels, communications
networks,
communications devices or host software.
Wiring Note:
Improper Wiegand cable (new or originally installed cable or missing required
shield connections) may result in high frequency noise on the data lines
creating misreads. This Wiegand misread issue is more evident on longer
Wiegand reader cables. The reader cable may have to be replaced with the
correct type of Wiegand reader cable to improve system reliability.
Power Issue Indicator:
The controller continuously monitors the main 12 VDC coming into itself. In
an error condition the onboard beeper sound will be as follow:
- Low dc voltage (9 volts or less): 4 one-second beeps then a 2-second pause.
- High dc voltage (16 volts or higher): 4 half-second beeps then a 2-second pause.
The beep is continuous until the problem is resolved. Also, a message is sent to the host software which shows event message like “DC Power Low 9 Volts or Less” or “DC Power High 16 Volts or Higher”.

Important Installation Notes
Electrical Information:
-
The Webster mini utilizes a mini-computer and must be operated using a battery backed up power supply to protect the hardware, system files and data files from corruption due to power outage. See Note 1 in Appendix section.
-
CAUTION : Do not unplug the Webster mini Power connector if the system is in operation as data corruption may occur on the Webster mini’s computer.
Please follow the instructions from the section “Shutdown Button”. -
Ensure that adequate 12V DC power and 1A of current is available, especially when the same power supply is used for the locks. See suggested power supplies in Appendix section.
-
It is highly recommended to use a separate power supply for locks as they require a high amount of current for proper operation.
Network Information:
- The Webster mini Controller is set to acquire an IP address automatically (DHCP). However, it must be set to a static IP address or reset if necessary. See Appendix section for more information.
Mechanical Information:
- If required, the Webster mini may be mounted inside of a lockable enclosure such as the CA-MAPENCLSMALL if access is to be limited to the external connections.
Controller Installation
CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTION
Note: See Note 1 in Appendix section for suggested power supplies & backup
battery.
The Webster mini requires an external battery backed-up 12 VDC power supply.
However, it may be more cost effective to use a separate power supply (battery
backed-up) just for the Webster mini controller and a separate power supply
which can be sized to supply the amount of current that the attached high-
current device e.g. lock will require.
Mode Indicator: After a complete power up the SHUTDN LED on the unit
flashes green waiting for Webster to initialize and stays steady green when
the initialization is finished ready for access via a web browser. Webster
mini emits 2 beeps to indicate its operating mode.
Note: Continuous beeps indicate power issue. Refer to Power Issue section for
more information

ENTRY READER WIRING
The first diagram show entry reader wiring only. The second diagram shows
optional exit reader wiring along with the entry reader.
ENTRY AND EXIT READER WIRING
Note : Exit reader option must also be enabled in the host software.
To avoid electrical noise, exit reader wires should piggyback on the entry reader wires leaving just one set of wires connected to the reader port.
EXIT BUTTON AND DOOR CONTACT WIRING
Note: Both door contact and exit button inputs have voltage present on the
circuits. Only connect dry contact devices to these inputs.
LOCK OUTPUT AND MULTI-FUNCTION RELAY WIRING
* Electric Strike Lock Wiring – Up To 6 Amp, 30VDC MAX
The Multi-Function (MF) relay is configured by the user through the host
software.
This relay can be set to only one of the following options:
-
Alarm Shunt – (factory default) Shunt the alarm system before opening lock.
-
Door Held Open – Door has been left open.
-
Forced Entry – Door opened without access-granted or exit-button-press event.
-
Door Operator_All – Activated on all cards (Lock Opens first).
-
Door Operator_HC – Activated on only Handicap cards (Lock Opens first).
-
DHO and Forced Entry – Activated on either DHO or Forced Entry.
-
Magnetic Lock Wiring – Up To 6 Amp, 30VDC MAX
IMPORTANT : In some jurisdictions, the use of a UL approved power supply and connection to the fire alarm system for emergency release may be required. Installers should contact the local authority having jurisdiction to verify the specific requirements. Also, a building permit may be required in some jurisdictions for the installation of magnetic locks.
See Note 2 in Appendix section for 6 Amp relay rating
Note: See Electric Strike Lock Wiring section for explanation of MF relay
usage.
Note: A diode can cause slow release of the magnetic lock. It is better
to use a MOV device. Some magnetic locks have built-in MOV devices; in that
case no diode or additional MOV is required. Check with magnetic lock
supplier.

Note 2: 6 Amp Relay Rating
Maximum current that can be switched reliably when connected to a ‘non- inductive load’ up to 30VDC. Electric strikes and magnetic locks are considered ‘inductive loads’. It is important to have diode or MOV attached at the locking device to remove the CEMF pulse that is generated when switching an ‘inductive load’. It is advisable to use a 50% switch factor or 3 amps as the maximum switching current for longer relay life. An external relay should be used on larger voltage and current requirements.

POWER CONNECTOR
SHUTDN – SHUTDOWN BUTTON
As the Webster mini contains a mini computer, a proper system shutdown is
nesscessary to prevent data corruption. DO NOT simply unplug the power
connector. To shut down follow this procedure:
- Press and hold (4 to 8 seconds) the SHUTDN button until a beep followed by two quick beeps sounded.
- The status SHDN LED near the SHUTDN button begins a rapid green ON/OFF flash then release the pushbutton. The system will start a proper shutdown. This will take 15 to 20 seconds.
- Wait untill the status SHDN LED (except power) and the reader LEDs are off with a single beep from the controller then remove the power connector.
- If the shutdown does not occur, try the procedure again. If it still does not respond correctly as described above, a system fault has occurred. It will be necessary to unplug the power connector and re-insert it after 10 seconds.
IP ADDRESS RESET AND STATIC IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION
Note: Please use one of following 3 methods to configure a static IP address
for the controller.
- MAP Configuration Tool.
- USB IP configuration using a USB flash drive.

FORCED ENTRY OUTPUT
To monitor forced-entry or door-held-open alarm conditions, connect a Normally
Closed door contact switch or sensor to the door contact input. The (MF)
multifunction relay, when configured as Forced Entry, will be activated if the
door is forced open without either an access-granted or an exit-button event.
A message will be transmitted to the host software if the controller is
online.
DOOR HELD OPEN OUTPUT
The (MF) multifunction relay, when configured as Door Held Open, will be
activated if the lock is unlocked and the door is held open longer than the
permitted door-heldopen time programmed from the host software. The reader
beeps to notify the user by first generating a pre-alert beep followed by a
solid beep, then a message is also transmitted to the host software if the
controller is online.
ALARM SHUNT OUTPUT
The (MF) multifunction relay is factory configured as Alarm Shunt. When an
accessgranted or an exit button event occurs, the alarm shunt output relay is
activated first followed by the lock output relay. The relay can be used to
bypass an external alarm point. When an access-granted or an exit button event
is complete, the lock output is turned off followed by the Alarm Shunt output
after a short delay. If a door contact is used then Alarm Shunt output is
turned off shortly after the door contact is closed.
DOOR OPERATOR OUTPUT – ALL CARDS
The (MF) multifunction relay, when configured as Door Operator_All, will be
activated by all cards and by exit button press. The lock relay will be
activated first followed by a one second pulse on this MF relay which is used
to trigger the door operator.
DOOR OPERATOR OUTPUT – HANDICAP CARDS ONLY
The (MF) multifunction relay, when configured as Door Operator_HC, will
only be activated by cards designated as handicap and by exit button press.
The lock relay will be activated first followed by a one second pulse on this
MF relay which is used to trigger the door operator.
External PoE Installation
CONTROLLER POWER CONNECTION
- Option 1: PoE Injector & PoE Splitter
PoE Injector can supply 24 Watts converted by the PoE Splitter to 12V DC with a maximum of 2A. 1. Webster mini: 250 – 300 mA.
2. CanProx Reader: 90 mA operating, 30 mA idle
3. Electric Strike Lock : 250 mA to 600 mA operating
In this configuration the Webster mini, the reader and the lock use the same
power source thus it’s imperative that maximum current should not exceed 1A to
ensure optimal operating condition for the Webster mini.
Note: The wall mount PoE Injector must be plugged into a battery backup power
source to prevent data loss or corruption on the Webster mini, and to provide
power for the Webster mini and the lock when AC power fails. The Ethernet
switch or router is normally plugged into a backup power supply.
- Option 2: PoE Network Switch/Router & PoE Splitter
Ensure PoE output of the Ethernet switch or the router is 48 Volts at 0.5A for 24 Watts converted by the PoE Splitter to 12V DC with a maximum of 2A.
- Webster mini: 250 – 300 mA.
- CanProx Reader: 90 mA operating, 30 mA idle
- Electric Strike Lock : 250 mA to 600 mA operating
In this configuration the Webster mini, the reader and the lock use the same power source thus it’s imperative that maximum current should not exceed 1A to ensure optimal operating condition for the Webster mini.
Ensure that the PoE output of the switch or router is able to supply 48V at
0.5A.
This is an important specification and must be verified.
Note: The PoE network switch/router must be plugged into a battery backup
power source to prevent data loss or corruption on the Webster mini, and to
provide power for the Webster mini and the lock when AC power fails.
