10 1.0 Introduction Welcome to the PCSC Fault Tolerant Controller, the newest generation of intelligent access control systems from PCSC. This manual explains the Fault Tolerant Controller installation and connection to a network and other Fault Tolerant Controllers. The Fault Tolerant Controller Manual is divided up into six steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Unpacking the Panels Installing Power Wiring the Readers Connecting the Readers to the Dual Door Module (DDM) and Single Door Module (SDM) Wiring the Door(s) Communicating with the Fault Tolerant Controller (FT) and DDM through TCP/IP Before powering the Fault Tolerant Controller, take a moment to read through this manual. It has been designed to allow you to move through the installation and programming phase with a minimum of difficult. Should you require additional guidance during the installation process, call PCSC Technical Support at (310) NOTE: Model SDM is not UL Listed or intended to be used in UL 294 Installations.

11 1.1 Theory of Operation The PCSC Fault Tolerant system is designed differently from the standard access control system in which PCSC has excelled for 25 years. A standard Host -> Controller -> Reader/Door setup has always been reliant on each device preceding it to function properly in order to maintain the integrity of the system. For example, if a controller is to fail (lose power or be disconnected from the network), the readers or door controls connected to those panels will fail to activate. The system can be increasingly problematic if multiple panels are daisy-chained together via RS-485 or standard LAN network. If a panel within the chain goes off-line, it will disrupt the connection to the network. Although this occurrence is rare, it is a weakness within the standard access control architecture. The Fault Tolerant system was designed with a LAN-based Active/Active or Active/Inactive system architecture which compensates for the possibility that a controller may go off-line. If, for any reason, a primary controller fails, an alternate controller shall automatically take over the duties of the failed controller. The progression of successors to a faulty controller shall continue to provide security without any degradation in system operations. This secure method of operation was accomplished by dividing the duties of the standard panel into two distinct panel types. The intelligence of a standard controller that is able to function independently from the Host computer has been assigned to the Fault Tolerant Controller or FT within the Fault Tolerant system. The FT, connected to the network via a LAN connection, performs as the functional brain for all its subsidiary door modules. There are two types of FT within the Fault Tolerant system. The first is a standard independent panel. The second is a rack-mounted FT which incorporates two FTs within its design. The second type of panel within the Fault Tolerant system is the Door Module. The Fault Tolerant system has two types of door modules: the Single Door Module (SDM) and the Dual Door Module (DDM). The door module is a dumb device that communicates all door and reader activity to the FT and executes any instructions commanded. FTs and door modules are connected via the network, not a hard-wired cable, so that the architecture of the Fault Tolerant system can respond immediately to any panel failure. Page 11 of 101 Fault Tolerant Controller Manual B

12 1. Redundancy The key to the FT within a Fault Tolerant network is redundancy. No FT should function independently within a PCSC Fault Tolerant system. Multiple FTs within a network allow a secondary FT to fill-in if a door module s primary FT goes off-line. Therefore, a Fault Tolerant system will only ever fail at the level of a single door module, and not affect the system as a whole. This can be illustrated by the following scenario. Assume four panels (FTs 1 4) are connected via the network. Each panel is able to see the connected FTs on the network, and will display a constant scroll of the panels to which it is connected. Also connected to the network is DDM 26, which has been assigned to FT 1. Within the scroll of FT 1, DDM 26 will also appear. Other FT panels will not see DDM 26, as DDM 26 will only being attempt to connect to FT 1. If FT 1 goes off-line, the system needs to adapt. In a standard access control scenario, FT 1 would go off-line, as would DDM 26, and the readers/doors connected to it. Within the Fault Tolerant system, DDM 26 will immediately search out the secondary FT within its programming, in this case, FT 2. The FT 2 scroll will show that it is now connected to DDM 26. Additionally, FT 1 will no longer appear on the scroll on the other FTs. Page 12 of 101 Fault Tolerant Controller Manual B

13 2.0 Installing Power 2.1 Installing Power to the FT and DDM The Fault Tolerant Controller (FT) can be powered via two different methods: UL 294 Listed, power-limited, Power Over Ethernet (POE) injector (such as Altronix Model NetWay 8, 15.4 Watt minimum) UL Listed Sunny Electronics Corp. Switching Adapter (Model SYS T3) The Dual Door Module (DDM) can be powered via two different methods: UL 294 Listed, power-limited, Power Over Ethernet (POE) injector (such as Altronix Model NetWay 8, 30 Watt minimum) UL 294 Listed PCSC Power Supply (such as Model PS300/12 or PS600/12) Installing Power The FT can be powered by a Sunny Electronics Corp. switching adapter, and will be connected to a 12VDC connector located in the back of the unit. Wiring will be set at the factory. Disconnect power mains from the supply before making any adjustments to the wiring. FT Primary operating supply manufactured by Sunny Electronics Corp., Model SYS T3, rated at 12VDC, 2A (secondary). The DDM can be powered by a PCSC power supply, and will be connected to a 12VDC power supply at P2 at midlevel along the board. Wiring will be set at the factory. Disconnect power mains from the supply before making any adjustments to the wiring. DDM Primary operating supply manufactured by PCSC, Model PS300/12, rated at 12VDC, 3A (secondary) or Model PS600/12, rated at 12VDC, 6A (secondary). For installation, refer to the ESD SPS-3.6M2E Power Supply installation instructions (P/N: SPS36 Instructions Rev: 04/15/02).

18 3.0 Wiring the Readers PCSC has designed its products to withstand most inductive voltage spikes without effect. However, some noise found in power supplies and door strikes, in addition to static discharge, may cause the control unit to momentarily shut down, lockup, or in extreme cases, to become damaged. Unexplained lockups and intermittent system behavior are common symptoms of static or noise problems. If cycling power will remedy your problem, carefully follow these instructions: 1. Install Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) (Siemens S10K30 or equivalent) at each Door Strike. When installed, they will suppress the feedback coming from door strikes, and limit most errors. 2. Readers should be properly earth-grounded for uninterrupted reads. Please be aware that operation is affected by the amount of static present during certain times of the year. 3. Properly grounding all readers and hardware, in addition to suppressing noise in the peripheral equipment, should allow for many problem free years of use with PCSC products. 4. In addition, PCSC recommends using a separate filtered, electronically regulated output, switchable power supply for door strikes. 5. Before installing the reader, please read the following instructions. Damage may occur if this is disregarded. 6. Installation must meet all local, state, and federal regulations and codes for electrical installation. If these codes conflict with the installation methods described in this manual, please call your service representative. Page 18 of 101 Fault Tolerant Controller Manual B

19 3.1 Grounding the Readers Do not route data and power cables in the same conduit. Crosstalk and transmission of electrical noise may result. The controller will become damaged if the power cable grounds to the data cable. NOTE: High Voltage and Low Voltage wiring must be routed separately and maintain a minimum spacing of 0.25 inches. 3.2 Properly Routing the Cables Each cable has a set of drain lines that can be attached on the Host or controller end of the cable to any screws mounted in the optional enclosures. If other non-metallic enclosures are used for controller housing, ensure that an alternative source for earth grounding is available. 3.3 Grounding the Power and Data Lines Each cable has a set of drain lines that can be attached on the Host or controller end of the cable to any screws mounted in the optional enclosures. If other non-metallic enclosures are used for controller housing, ensure that an alternative source for earth grounding is available Procedure 1. At the Reader side, it is important to be aware of both the static generated from the user end as well as electrical grounding from the data and power cabling. If at all possible, the reader mounting plate should be attached to a grounded junction box or to another source, if the junction box is nonmetallic. This alleviates the possible damage caused by static electricity. NOTE Leave the drain line taped back and floating at the reader site. 2. If grounding locally is not possible, connect drain wires to the provided Electro Static Discharge (ESD) hardware at the Controller side (enclosure) or to earth grounded conduit. As each reader port is progressively farther away from the ESD hardware location, allow for enough drain line to reach the ESD hardware on the controller end of the cable. Allow enough strain relief to avoid touching other circuitry or creating excessive tension. NOTE: High Voltage and Low Voltage wiring must be routed separately and maintain a minimum spacing of 0.25 inches. 3. On a permanently connected product, a terminal intended solely for the connection of an equipment grounding conductor shall be capable of securing a conductor of the size suitable for the particular application in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA On a permanently connected product, a wire binding screw intended for the connection of an equipment grounding conductor shall have a green colored head that is hexagonal, slotted, or both. A pressure wire connector intended for connection of such a conductor shall be plainly identified such as by being marked G GR, GROUND, or GROUNDING, or the like, or by a marking on a wiring diagram provided on the product. The wire binding screw or pressure wire connector shall be secured to the frame or enclosure of the product and shall be located so that it is unlikely to be removed during service operations such as replacing fuses, resetting manual-reset devices, or the like. Page 19 of 101 Fault Tolerant Controller Manual B

20 5. If a pressure wire connector intended for grounding is located where it could be mistaken for a neutral conductor of a ground supply, it shall be identified by a marking EQUIPMENT GROUND or with a green color identification, or both. 6. On a permanently connected product, the surface of an insulated lead intended solely for the connection of an equipment grounding conductor shall be finished in a continuous green color or a continuous green color with one or more yellow stripes, and no other lead shall be so identified. 3.4 Grounding the Pin Pad or Reader Procedure 1. Orient the mounting plate so that the protruding ears are on top and facing the back of the reader or PIN Pad. Attach the mounting plate to the junction box using two screws. The mounting plate should be earth ground either to a ground junction box or directly to an earth ground source (especially if the junction box is not metal). 2. Connect the cable to the rear of the reader. Secure the shield drain lines to one of the grounding screws in the Fault Tolerant Controller enclosure or other appropriate location. 3. Place mounting holes on the back of the reader over the latches on the mounting plate, and then position the unit so that the cover is flush with the mounting plate. 4. Secure the unit to the mounting plate by inserting the special security fastener through the hole in the bottom of the reader. Tighten it using the security driver Grounding the Reader Mullion Mount The reader may be attached to a glass or door mullion separator (either vertically or horizontally) by using the Mullion Bracket Adapter Kits ( for horizontal mounting or for vertical mounting) Procedure 1. At the Fault Tolerant Controller end, secure the drain lines to one of the ESD grounding screws in the Fault Tolerant Controller box. At the reader end, leave the drain line floating. It is recommended that the mullion adapter be affixed to an earth ground or to the incoming conduit. 2. Mount the reader to the J-box or mullion bracket.

21 4.0 Reader Connections to the DDM Reader Disconnect Resistors If an external power supply and a reader disconnect feature is required, place an appropriately sized resistor (not supplied) at the reader. However, if the reader is using an external power supply, then the resistor should be installed at the reader port on the panel. NOTE: Reviewer points this out as contradictory. Externally powered readers usually will not have the reader connect/disconnect due to the fact that feature is in the panels. If an external power supply is required, a resistor can be placed at the reader port to eliminate the Reader Disconnect message in the logger. NOTE: For use in the following diagrams, resistors are shown connected to the boards. However, for best operation, resistors should be placed where they are the most effective. NOTE: A second reader is not available with the SDM* at this time. However, Model SDM is not UL Listed or intended to be used in UL 294 Installations Compatible UL Listed Readers: These are the only readers/keypads to be used in UL Installations, and all others must be removed or explicitly stated as such.

30 5.0 Wiring the Door(s) Step 1. Step 2. When power is interrupted from the Fault Tolerant Controller, the door relay de-energizes and continuity (conduction path) exists between the Common (Com.) and Normally Closed (N.C.) relay contacts. Should this loss-of-power situation arise, it must be determined whether the door(s) controlled by the Fault Tolerant Controller will become unlocked (or a Fail-Safe environment), or locked (or a Fail-Secure environment). Refer to the two types of door hardware below and the circuit conditions that coincide with the state of the locks. Case A. Door Strike hardware requires continuity to unlock (for strikes that require power to lock, follow the outline given for maglocks). This is provided by a closed circuit condition (Normally Closed [N.C.]). Case B. Door Strike hardware does NOT require continuity to lock (for strikes that require power to lock, follow the outline given for maglocks). This is provided by an open circuit condition (Normally Open [N.O.]). Case C. Magnetic lock hardware requires continuity to lock. This is provided by a closed circuit condition (Normally Closed [N.C.]). Case D. Magnetic lock hardware does NOT require continuity to unlock. This is provided by an open circuit condition (Normally Open [N.O.]). Step 3. For Fail-Safe operation, wire the appropriate door lock hardware to accommodate an unlocked condition upon interruption of Fault Tolerant Controller power. This is implemented by: For door strikes, wire between the Common and Normally Closed Door Relay contacts. For Magnetic Locks, wire between the Common and Normally Open Door Relay contacts. For Fail-Secure operation, wire the appropriate door lock hardware to accommodate a locked condition upon interruption of Fault Tolerant Controller power. This is implemented by: For door strikes, wire between the Common and Normally Open Door Relay contacts. For Magnetic Locks, wire between the Common and Normally Closed Door Relay contacts. NOTE: When using a Fail-Secure operation, UL Listed panic hardware shall be used to allow emergency exit from the protected area. Step 4. Next page NOTE For both conditions (Fail Safe and Fail Secure) it is presumed that Lock Power is battery backed. Page 30 of 101 Fault Tolerant Controller Manual B

31 Step 4. Program the quiescent (INACTIVE) state of the door output relay to provide a locked door state. For Fail-Safe environments, the quiescent state of the door output relay should be ENERGIZED. For Fail-Secure environments, it should be DE-ENERGIZED. NOTE: When using a Fail-Secure operation, UL Listed panic hardware shall be used to allow emergency exit from the protected area. Consult the LiNC-NXG User Manual s Door Overview/Hardware section for programming information. Open Collector Output: Open collector outputs are designed to drive an external relay. This technique can be used to control devices which exceed the relay capacity of those on board the Fault Tolerant Controller. The open collector outputs are capable of 100 ma 12VDC.

Remove the strike-locking device and find the wire connector that attaches the lock wires to the lock. 2. Install an MOV (Siemens S10K30 or equivalent) in parallel with the load. The MOV is a nonpolarized device and will work with both AC and DC locks. NOTE Use an additional MOV if you experience further noise at the strike. NOTE For further protection on DC units, a reverse biased diode may be installed (We suggest types 1N4004 to 1N4007 be used) also in parallel with the load. 3. Note the wiring set-up of your particular system. Connections can be made either to the normally open (fail secure) contact or to the normally-closed (fail-safe) configuration whereby an isolation relay is used and a MOV is added for noise suppression.
