EtherProx Entry Introduction 1. Important Safety Information The safety guidelines for EtherProx Entry include: · Power sources · ANSI/UL listing (USA) and CSA 22.2 listing (Canada) · UL 294-compliant installations · FCC Class A digital device · Canadian Radio Emissions Requirements Power Sources To power the door latch, you should use a power limited UL 294 or UL 603 door strike power supply. You can obtain the door strike power supply from AlarmSAF, Altronix, Securitron, and Software House.
Introduction EtherProx Entry have a sound level of at least 85 decibels. An alarm must activate for 15 minutes. You can purchase a Battery Back Up Supervisory Siren sounder, Model 0821 from Street Smart Security. There are three ways to meet the UL 294 alarm requirements: o Use a Software House DIU. The DIU closes a set of relay contacts when an intrusion or tamper is detected by the InfoProx Reader. The relay contacts activate the alarm.
EtherProx Entry Introduction The EtherProx Entry door access system is ideal for controlling a single door, usually in a remote area. You can use EtherProx Entry for businesses, leisure facilities, members-only clubs, and secure areas in public buildings. EtherProx Entry is also ideal for an establishment that initially requires a few readers and envisions future expansion.
Introduction EtherProx Entry Input 2 Monitors request-to-exit button (Normally Open) For normal door mode access, the reader has one relay reserved for a door strike. You can configure the relay to Powered to Secure or Powered to Unlock; the relay automatically fires when a valid card is presented to the reader. Initially, enter all card ID numbers into the reader's database. When a valid card is read, access is granted. You can assign PINs to some or all of the cards to increase security.
EtherProx Entry Introduction PROX READER UNIT Note SPASS CODE InfoProx Entry IPE InfoProx Exit IPX InfoProx Online IPO EtherProx Entry EPE You can use the InfoProx Entry and EtherProx Entry only as entry readers; you cannot use an entry reader as an exit reader for another entry reader. Preparing to Install EtherProx There are several ways to install an EtherProx reader. You can use an optional Door Interface Unit (DIU) or reverse the Entry and Exit readers in order to comply with UL 294.
Introduction EtherProx Entry The following table contains the secure and traffic control installation configurations for entry hardware, exit hardware, DIU, door control wiring, and sounder wiring.

EtherProx Entry EtherProx Entry Installation 3. EtherProx Entry Installation EtherProx Entry mounts directly onto a standard UK or European (French) electrical containment box. North American installations require an adapter plate so you can use standard conduit and fittings. A clear polycarbonate screen covers the LCD for protection. You pull the cables through the conduit, which terminate in the containment box.
Configuring EtherProx Entry EtherProx Entry Power Connections The EtherProx Entry reader contains an internal voltage regulator that requires an external power supply with nominal 12-volt output. The internal voltage regulator is capable of supplying at least 250 mA of current. The Power input is filtered, as well as Transzorb and reverse-voltage protected. Power is supplied to the reader by means of a J3 connector, as shown in Figure 1.
EtherProx Entry EtherProx Entry Installation 3. If the result is greater than 7.0 volts, the wiring is adequate. If not, use heavier (lower gauge) wire or a power supply with a higher voltage output. Example: If you use a 22AWG wire with a 12-volt power supply 300 feet away from the readers, the voltage drops to 7.2 volts at the reader. Using the Table 1: Voltage Table to calculate the voltage, multiply 3 (300 ft) times the 1.6V drop equals a -4.8 drop for the 300 ft. span. Subtract 4.

For example, the orange conductor may be orange/white.
EtherProx Entry EtherProx Entry Installation Note On the back of the unit, pin 1 is at the right end of the connector, as shown in Figure 4. Pin 10 is Common; Pin 9 is N/O. The diagram in Figure 5 illustrates typical connections to a door. The power supply must have sufficient capacity to operate the door strike.
Configuring EtherProx Entry EtherProx Entry Connecting an Exit Reader to the EtherProx Both readers require a power supply of nominally 12V DC this can be taken from one power supply by tapping off the Phoenix connector J3 on the Entry reader as shown or by using two separate supplies. Communications from the EtherProx Entry Reader to the InfoProx Exit reader is taken from J3 on the Entry reader to J3 on the Exit reader.
