Notes:
Note: Screws on terminal blocks must be tightened securely.
To ensure optimum earth-grounding of the controller and its connected peripherals, you should make a quality earth-ground connection to the metal enclosure lug (which displays an adjacent earth-ground symbol).
This good-quality earth-ground at the enclosure lug will provide an earth-ground for the entire enclosure - and will therefore ground anything that is connected to the metal enclosure - (the four metal screws at each corner of the PCB) - plus, through circuitry on the PCB, this includes anything connected to the lug marked J6 or pin 3 of the TB10 power connector.
In addition, the enclosure itself must be earth grounded to a good quality ground point external to the enclosure for a complete path to ground.
The shield/drain wire of any reader cables MUST also be terminated to one of the following points: any corner screw attaching the controller to the enclosure or Pin 3 of TB10 or the ground lug of the enclosure. Failure to properly earth ground the reader drain wire may result in unreliable reader communication or operation.
Notes:
When wiring the RS-485 terminal block connector, be sure to use the small 3-pin connector provided.
RS-485 cabling should be installed away from high voltage systems. Fluorescent lights always cause issues with low-voltage systems, especially when the ballast is old and starts to become noisy / lights blinking might introduce unnecessary voltage spikes on our data communication line (RS485 lines), which can make our transmitted data corrupted.
Note: On long power cable runs, the cable resistance causes a drop in voltage at the end of the cable run. Be sure your power supply does provide 12 VDC at the end of the cable run.
Notes:
- The Lock Output relay may require a heavier gauge of wire depending upon the current demands of the lock and the length of the lock wiring run.
- If plenum cable is required, please reference the Belden plenum equivalent to the cables listed above.
The PXL-500W controller can be configured to accept input from single-line LED, dual-line LED, and Essex keypad Wiegand input devices (LED mode is configured in the software).
Note: The Wiegand Reader must transfer data according to the Security Industry Association's Wiegand Reader Interface Standard (document number AC-01D-96). Keri Systems, Inc. cannot guarantee the performance or reliability of Wiegand Readers that do not meet these data transfer guidelines.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The shield/drain wire of any reader/peripheral cables MUST be terminated to one of the following points-any corner screw attaching the controller to the enclosure, Pin 3 of TB10, the green ground lug (J6) on the controller, or the ground lug of the enclosure. Failure to properly earth ground the reader/peripheral drain wire may result in unreliable communication or operation of the attached peripheral.
For single-line LED readers, the LED wire connects to pin 6, there is no LED wire on pin 5.
For dual-line LED readers, the red LED is wired to pin 6 and the green LED line is wired into pin 5.
Note: The wire colors called out in the above image are industry standard wire colors. However, some manufacturers may not follow these industry standard designations. Before installation, please refer to the Wiegand device’s manual to see if the device’s wire colors follow the industry standard. If not, then match the wire’s purpose to the call outs shown here.
If the host computer has a male DB-9 connector on the serial port, you must use a Keri Systems
KDP-552 cable or create a cable according to the following drawing:
Each PXL-500 controller is shipped with an installation kit including all necessary terminal blocks and transorbs. One of these terminal blocks has a jumper across pins 1 and 2. This terminal block is designated for use on TB-4. If a door switch is not used on the controller, this jumper prevents a continuous door open status alarm from being received by the controller. If a door switch is used, simply remove this jumper and install the door switch leads.
Note: A Door Switch must be installed on any door to which anti-passback is being applied for proper tracking of the anti-passback feature.
The RTE circuit is a normally-open circuit. Press the button to close the circuit and activate the RTE A-door input.
The general-purpose input is used in conjunction with the programmable input/output feature. There are two possible uses for the general-purpose input.
• the primary controller may be figured for either Global Unlock
• or Auxiliary A-door RTE
• a secondary PXL controller can be configured for Auxiliary A-door RTE
The PXL-500 ship-kit includes 1.5KE39C transorbs for suppressing transients generated by the lock. These transorbs should always be installed across any electric device attached to a controller output, especially a lock, such as a maglock. The transorbs should be installed as close to the lock as
possible (as displayed in the previous two images) - not at the controller.
Note: The transorbs have no polarity and so can be installed in either orientation.
Communication between the primary PXL and the secondary PXL controllers is via an RS-485 linear data line. The data line is daisy-chained in and out of the TB1 port located in the top left corner of the PCB. The cable type for this RS-485 network is a single pair (shielded, stranded and twisted). Belden 9501 is the recommended cable type as it provides the most protection again sources of
electrical interference (EMI).
Note: Do not use male/female gender changer plugs or 25-pin to 9-pin adapters when making RS-232 serial port connections. These devices may have internal wiring changes that can disrupt communications when implemented in conjunction with the Keri Systems serial wiring instructions. If you must use a gender changer plug, ensure it is a “straight-through” plug.
Use of a LAN-520 to provide LAN/WAN Ethernet connectivity between the software and one or more PXL networks.
Note: When using a LAN-500 for ethernet communication, the jumpers across JP6 and JP7 must be removed for communication. For all other forms of communication, including use of a LAN-50, the jumpers must be placed across JP6 and JP7.
For instructions about how to add the controller to the Doors.NET or Borealis software, please refer to the controller setup guide.
All setup guides can be found on the Keri knowledge base at help.kerisys.com
Notes:
- Verify the earth ground has been connected at pin 3 of TB-2 before turning the power on for the first time.
- Do not connect the 12 VDC power supply’s terminal block output to the TB-2 connector on the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller until you have completed the following steps.
Note: On long power cable runs, keep in mind the resistance in the cable itself causes a drop in voltage at the end of the run. The power supply must be able to account for this voltage drop.
If you're turning system power on for the first time or have just changed the EPROM/PIC, the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller's RAM must be reset before performing any other action. This clears any spurious information that may be in the RAM in preparation for entering your access control information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Resetting the system RAM completely erases all information within the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller. If there is any information in system RAM from an access control installation and the system RAM is reset, the information in the controller is lost and cannot be recovered.
By default, the controller will be set to address #1 (a primary controller). If you wish to set the controller as a secondary controller (address #2 up to #127) you will need to change the controllers address.
Note: When the controller’s address is changed the RAM is automatically reset. An update must then be performed from the software.
