RM-DCM-2 Unit RM-DCM-2 UNIT Figure 1 shows the RM-DCM-2 unit with one RM-4E board, an optional battery, and LCD. UL has evaluated this configuration only. LCD Battery RM-4E FIGURE 1. RM-DCM-2 with Battery and LCD FEATURES RM-DCM-2 features include: LED status indicators display RS-485, inputs, outputs, and power status. Maglock component for use with door objects. Bypass component connects to a release switch on a door secured by a magnetic lock. On-board battery charger supplies power to an optional battery for memory retention in the event of a power failure. The on-board battery is for memory retention only. UL has not evaluated the battery for the Standby Power requirements of the UL294 Standard. 3
Features Optional Equipment Read Head Interfaces Optional equipment for the RM-DCM-2 includes: Backup battery kit provides the RM-4E with backup power for memory retention in the event of a power failure. The kit includes a cable assembly that connects the battery to the RM-DCM-2 battery component. LCD component displays diagnostic information and status messages for readers attached to the RM-4E. The optional LCD is attached to the J1 (LCD) connector on the RM-4E board. The RM-4E supports Wiegand signaling or Magnetic read heads. Select the interface you want by setting S5 position 1 on the RM-4E board. Set S5-1 to the On (Closed) position for Wiegand read heads Set S5-1 to the Off (Open) position for Magnetic read heads The RM-DCM-2 has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) for compatibility with HID Model 30387 and HID 5355 readers only. RM-DCM-2 with RM-4E, I/8, R/8, and Battery The RM-4E Reader Module (RM-4E) simplifies installation by providing clearly labeled termination points to identify functionality and device information. The RM-4E also features LEDs for output, RS-485, power, and input status to make it easier to install and service the system. The RM-4E board is installed and mounted at the top of the door. Another RM-4E board and any combination of I/8 and R/8 modules, up to a total of four boards, can be mounted on the door and within the enclosure. Figure 2 shows an RM-DCM-2 unit with one RM-4E, R/8, I/8, and battery. There could also be another RM-4E board, I/8, or R/8 mounted in the space provided within the enclosure. 4
Features Tamper Input (SW2) Tamper Switch FIGURE 2. RM-DCM-2 with RM-4E, R/8, I/8, and Battery Tamper Switch The RM-DCM-2 provides a tamper switch as part of the enclosure. 1. Verify or connect the normally closed tamper switch in the enclosure to the 2-pin connector labeled TAMPER (SW2) on the RM-4E board. See Figure 2. 2. Verify or set DIP switch SW5-4 (Tamper Override) to Off (Closed) on the RM-4E. See Figure 5. 3. To configure the tamper: C CURE 800 - use the Reader Configuration Advanced dialog box. C CURE 9000 - use the Reader I/O tab. The switch is normally closed so that when the door is closed the tamper is secure. If the door is forced, the switch will open causing an alarm event. The tamper switch must be connected to comply with UL requirements. 5
RM-4E Reader Interface RM-4E READER INTERFACE You can interface read heads that supply Wiegand signaling or magnetic (ABA) signaling to the apc/8x, istar, and istar Pro using RM-4E boards. Figure 3 indicates how an RM-4E board interfaces with Wiegand and Magnetic signaling read heads. FIGURE 3. RM-4E Interface UL has not evaluated magnetic (ABA) signaling read heads. 6

RM-4E Components RM-4E COMPONENTS Figure 5 shows the location of connection points, switches, and LEDs on the RM-4E board. RM-4E Board Layout FIGURE 5. RM-4E Board Layout This section lists the RM-4E components starting from the upper right corner of Figure 5 and moving in a clockwise direction. Tamper The RM-DCM-2 tamper input twisted pair wires, shown in Figure 2, are connected to the TAMPER (SW2) input pins. 8
RM-4E Components Power In : There are two ways to power an RM-4E: Method A - from the Power In connector using an external power supply, which also charges the battery through the BATTERY connector. Method B - from the RS 485 connector using the apc or istar power supply. Do not use both power connection methods at the same time. A UL Listed power-limited access control or burglar alarm power supply, capable of four hours standby, must be used when the unit is powered from a source other than the apc or istar. +12/24 VDC FIGURE 6. RM-4E Power Wiring - Method A Method A - via Power In Connect +12 or +24 VDC to Pin 2 of the Power IN connector. Connect the ground side of the supply to either Pin 1, 3, or 4. Because the three grounds are all tied together, you can connect the negative side of the supply to any of the three pins. Do not use +24 VDC unless all devices on the bus are RM-4Es. RM-4s, I/8s, R/8s and MRMs must be powered with +12 VDC. The battery charger only works if you power through the Power IN connector. 9
RM-4E Components Method B - via RS-485 (RM Bus Connector) Connect +12 VDC to Pin 1 of the RS-485 connector on the bottom right side. Connect Ground (Gnd) to Pin 4 of the RS-485 connector. The +12 VDC input on Pin 1 has a protection diode that prevents you from using the RS-485 connector as a source of +12 VDC if you power through the Power IN connector. Battery Connect the plus and minus sides of the 12 VDC battery to the Battery connector. The battery provides power for memory retention in the event of a power failure. When power is restored, the battery is charged by the power supplied through the Power In connector. LED Connector Table 2 lists LED Connector Signals and Functions on the RM-4E board. TABLE 2. LED Connector Signals and Functions Pin Signal Function 6 Gnd Ground 5 Beep Used to drive an external beeper on a reader connected to the unit. 4 Grn Green LED drive 3 Yel Yellow LED drive 2 Red Red LED drive 1 +5 VDC + 5 VDC, if required UL has not evaluated using Pin 5 to drive an external beeper. Typical LED Scenarios One wire Bi-Color - Attach the brown wire from the read head to the Yellow LED drive on the RM-4E. Two wire Red and Green - Attach the brown wire from the read head to Red LED drive. Attach the orange wire from the read head to the Green LED drive. Three wire Red, Green, Yellow - Attach each LED drive to the associated color LED. See LED Control on page 22 for information. 10
RM-4E Components When the wiring gauge is too small or the wiring runs are too long, the Yellow LED drive oscillation can cause cross-talk and result in misreads. RS 485 Reader Bus RS 485 is the reader bus connection to the apc or istar. It is two wire, half duplex RS 485. Connect Tx+ / Rx+ to Pin 2 and connect Tx- / Rx- to Pin 3. The pins are numbered right to left on the connector. TABLE 3.

Relay 1, Relay 2, MagLock, and Bypass The RM-4E provides lock components that facilitate connecting magnetic and electric strike locks. Relay 1 is a standard Form C, dry contact relay, identical to the relays found on the istar ACM. Relay 2, along with the MagLock and Bypass connectors have internal etch connections for wiring magnetic and electric strike locks Tie Point (TP1/TP2) connector pins are not connected to the circuitry. They are used as connection points to avoid field splices when connecting locks to Relay1. TP1-1 is tied to TP1-2, and TP2-1 is tied to TP2-2. Lock Connectors The Lock Connector pinouts are shown below. 12
Lock Wiring Configurations FIGURE 7. Lock Connectors LOCK WIRING CONFIGURATIONS RM-4E lock connectors support the following wiring configurations: Magnetic Lock using Relay 2 Electric Strike using Relay 2 Electric Strike using Relay 1 The following sections describe how to connect each configuration. The electric strike examples are shown as Fail-Secure. Magnetic Locks The normal state of a magnetic lock has current flowing through an electromagnet on the lock that pulls a strike plate with a force of 500-2000 lbs. Safety codes usually require a bypass switch for emergency egress. This is not the Request to Exit (REX) switch. Note the internal etch connections between Relay 2, Maglock, and the Bypass connector. Connecting a Magnetic Lock The following figure shows an example of connecting the power supply, magnetic lock, and bypass switch. 13
Lock Wiring Configurations FIGURE 8. Magnetic Lock Wiring with Jumper Options 14
Lock Wiring Configurations Magnetic Lock Components This section describes the components and connections for magnetic lock wiring. Power Supply The power for a magnetic lock must be filtered, regulated direct current (DC) voltage. Alternating current (AC) does not work and half wave rectified DC does not work reliably. Most magnetic locks consume about 3 watts, which is about 125 milli-amps @ 24 VDC or 250 milli-amps @ 12 VDC. 18 AWG wire is generally recommended. If the wire runs exceed 100 feet, use 16AWG wire instead. The power supply to a magnetic lock must be isolated. Do not connect the output of the power supply or the negative side of the lock to earth ground. The connection from the minus side of the power supply must go to Maglock pin 3. Bypass Switch Connect a normally closed (NC) emergency Bypass switch as shown. Remove the J15 Bypass jumper for normal operation. It will be necessary to connect the J15 Bypass jumper (closed) if you install an electric strike on Relay 2. Diode Protection An optional inductive kickback suppression diode is available by connecting the J13 Diode jumper (closed). Some magnetic locks have the suppression circuitry built-in so in some cases the J13 Diode jumper should be removed (open). RM-4E Power Failure When using the configuration shown, the magnetic lock remains locked if the RM-4E loses connection to the apc or istar because the normally closed (NC) connection of Relay 2 is used. The magnetic lock also remains locked if the RM-4E loses power. 15
Lock Wiring Configurations You have the option of wiring to the normally open (NO) connector of Relay 2 if you want to have the Magnetic lock unlock under those conditions. If you use the normally open (NO) connector then Relay 2 will have to be normally energized using the C CURE Administration application. If the power supply fails, the magnetic lock will unlock regardless of whether the normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) is used. Electric Strikes Unlike magnetic locks, electric strike locks typically lock when not powered and unlock when powered. You must decide if you want to wire for fail-secure or fail-safe. Failsecure means that if there is a power failure, the door goes to a secure or locked state. Fail-safe (fail-open) means that the door is open if there is a failure. It is important that local codes be followed to avoid people getting trapped in an emergency situation. Usually fail-secure doors have crash bars to allow emergency egress. Using Relay 2 for an Electric Strike The same internal connections that are used for a magnetic lock can be used to wire an electric strike. Connect the plus side of the power supply to the normally open (NO) connection of Relay 2 and connect the remaining external connections the same as the magnetic lock 16
Lock Wiring Configurations FIGURE 9. Relay 2 Fail Secure Wiring 17
Lock Wiring Configurations Electric Strike Components This section describes components and connections for electric strike wiring using Relay 2. Bypass Switch Connect the J15 Bypass jumper (closed) to provide the internal connection from Maglock Pin 1 to the C contact of Relay 2. Do not connect an external bypass switch. Diode Protection An optional surge suppression diode is available by connecting the J13 Diode jumper (closed). If the electric strike has a suppression diode builtin, disconnect the J13 Diode jumper (open). Using Relay 1 for an Electric Strike Relay 1 is a standard Form-C dry contact relay. Wiring door strikes using this relay on the RM-4E is the same as wiring them to apcs, istars, R/ 8s etc. Two pair of isolated tie points have been added to minimize splices. Connect the strike and the power supply as shown. There is no internal etch to consider when using Relay 1. In the example below, a fail-secure door is shown with the normally open (NO) contact. You can add an optional external suppression diode, if desired. 18
Inputs FIGURE 10. Relay 1 - Fail Secure Wiring INPUTS Input 1 and Input 2 Connect inputs using the standard Software House supervision for either NO or NC. Figure 11 shows an example of wiring Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) inputs. FIGURE 11. Input Wiring 19
Inputs To comply with UL requirements, use shielded, minimum 22 AWG stranded, twisted pair cable for monitor points, DSMS, and REXs. Use Belden 9462 or equivalent. LED Input Status Each input uses a Red, Yellow, or Green LED to show the input status. Only one color will be on at a time for each input. Table 6 lists the LED color and the corresponding input status. Red LED indicates alert (nominal 500 ohms or 2K ohms). Green LED indicates secure hardware state (nominal 1k ohms). Yellow LED indicates supervision error (open circuit, shorted, or line fault). The RM-4E input status LEDs show flashing status if the RM-4E is communicating with the apc or istar and at least one input or output is configured, or the reader is being used on a door. (The apc or istar needs a configured reason to communicate.) TABLE 6. LED Input Status LED Color Input Status Red Green Yellow Alert (nominal 500 ohms or 2K ohms). Secure hardware state (nominal 1k ohms). Supervision error (open circuit, shorted, or line fault) 20
Inputs SW 5 DIP Switch Functions The SW 5 DIP switch on the RM-4E is similar to the SW 3 DIP switch on the RM-4. TABLE 7. SW 5 DIP Switch on RM-4E and SW 3 DIP Switch on RM-4 SW 5 DIP Switch on RM-4E Function Value Equivalent DIP Switch on RM-4 SW 5-1 Reader Type Off = Magnetic (ABA) signaling, On = Wiegand signaling, SW 5-2 LED Control Off = Normal, On = One-Wire (A,B,C) SW 5-3 LED Control Off = Normal, On = External Bi-color SW 5-4 Tamper Off = Normal Tamper, On = Inhibit Tamper SW 5-5 RS-485 Termination Off = Not last in line, On = Last in line SW 3-1 SW 3-6 SW 3-3 SW 3-4 SW 3-5 SW 5-6 Input 1 and Input 2 LED Control Off = Do not display LEDs, On = Display LEDs N/A SW 5-7 Not Used Not Used N/A SW 5-8 Not Used Not Used N/A Note: On = Closed, Off = Open 21
LED Control LED CONTROL SW5-3 and SW5-2 control the reader LED display. SW5-3 and SW5-2 provide the same LED control that is available on the RM-4 and the istar ACM. Table 8 shows the possible settings of SW5-3 and SW5-2. TABLE 8. SW5 LED Control SW5-3 SW5-2 Function OFF OFF 3-wire (R,G,Y) ON OFF External Bi-color (Normal External Bi-color) OFF ON 1 Wire (A,B,C) ON ON Special RM-4E 1-Wire LED Control Three Wire LED Control When both SW5-3 and SW5-2 are Off, it specifies Three wire LED control. In this case, the Red, Green, and Yellow LED drives are wired to the associated LED of the same color as shown in Figure 12. FIGURE 12. Three wire LED control 22

LED Control External Bi-color LED Control When SW 5-3 is On and SW5-2 is Off, the function is External Bi-color because there are two LEDs (Red and Green) in the reader. The LEDs will appear as Yellow when both Red and Green are on, making the function essentially a Tri-color (Red, Green, Yellow). Two Wire (Red and Green) There are two cases of External Bi-color two wire and one wire. With two wire, the Red and Green LED drives are wired as shown in Figure 13 FIGURE 13. External Bi-color (2 wire) 24
LED Control One Wire (Yellow) With one wire, the Yellow drive is wired as shown in Figure 14. The Yellow LED drive gets inverted in the read head resulting in a Red LED when the signal is low and a Green LED when the signal is high. If the Yellow LED drive is oscillating, the Red and Green LEDs will be oscillating and will appear to the human eye that the LED is Yellow. The RM-4E will oscillate the Yellow drive at 1 KHz when a Yellow LED display is required. FIGURE 14. External Bi-color (1 wire) Special RM-4E 1-Wire LED Control Setting both SW5-3 and SW5-2 On results in a special RM-4E legacy mode that is equivalent to the 1-wire Bi-color mode on earlier versions of the RM-4E. In the standard 1-wire Yellow drive connection, the drive will oscillate, resulting in the appearance of a Yellow LED. In the special mode, the drive does not oscillate and there is no Yellow indication. 25
LED Control One Wire (A,B,C) LED Control When SW5-2 is On, it specifies One Wire (A,B,C) mode. In this case, a single LED drive (Red or Green or Yellow) is wired with varying results as shown in Figure 15. One wire mode is typically used for older read heads with a single LED that is either On, Off, or flashing. FIGURE 15. One Wire (A,B,C) LED control 26

RM-4E, R/8, and I/8 Mounting Hole Dimensions Enclosures UL has approved the RM-DCM-2 enclosure for use with R/8, and I/8 boards. Mounting the RM-4E, R/8, and I/8 Boards To mount the RM-4E, R/8, and I/8 boards in an RM-DCM-2 enclosure, use four 1/4 6-32 screws and star washers to secure the boards to the mounting studs in the enclosure (see Figure 18). There are four possible mount positions for the three boards in the enclosure. 28
Installation Requirements The design ensures that you maintain a minimum of 1/4 spacing between adjacent electronic components, and between electronic components and the enclosure. Mounting Studs Mounting Studs Mounting Studs FIGURE 18. Mounting RM-4E, R/8, and I/8 modules in an RM-DCM-2 Power Supply and Wiring Each module (RM-4E, I/8, R/8) has a typical rating of 125mA, plus another 25mA for each active relay. The need for an external power supply is based on the electrical current available from the apc panel or istar controller power supply, the calculated draw of other boards in the system, and the voltage drop due to wiring length. A UL-Listed power-limited access control or burglar alarm power supply, capable of four hours standby, must be used when the unit is powered from a source other than the apc or istar. Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70), local codes, and the authorities having jurisdiction. Environment Operating temperature ranges for the RM-DCM-2 is 32-120 F (0-49 C); 85% relative humidity @ 86 F ± 3 (30 C ± 2 ). The RM-DCM-2 is suitable for indoor use, to be installed within the protected premises. Connect the modules (RM-4E, I/8, R/8) to an RM reader bus on an istar or apc. The modules must be within the maximum wire length range of 4000 ft. (1219 m). 29

Testing the RM-DCM-2 Testing the RM-DCM-2 Required Equipment This section describes the procedures that verify the RM-DCM-2 installation and operation. The following equipment is required. Two 1K Ω resistors An LCD display module (2 line x 16 character), Software House part number RM-LCD Three LEDs A multi-meter to measure voltage and resistance Configuration Requirements You must complete the following configuration requirements before you test the RM-DCM-2: 1. Install the RM-4E. 2. Install the LCD display module into the LCD connector on the RM-4E circuit board. 33
Testing the RM-DCM-2 Self-Test Mode The RM-4E has a built-in self-test mode. Perform the steps in this section to run the self-test. 1. Remove power to the RM-4E. 2. Set Rotary Switch SW4 to position 0. 3. To test the reader LEDs, connect three LEDs to the Reader LED port as shown in Figure 19. Connect the anode (long lead) of each LED to Pin 1 (+5v). Cover the LED wires with heat shrink to prevent short circuits. If you are using an older LED that does not have a built-in current-limiting resistor, add a 1K-ohm resistor in series. Cover LED wires with heat shrink to prevent shorting +5v Aux End LED Red Yel Grn FIGURE 19. Connecting LEDs for Self-Test Mode 4. Power up the RM-4E. When you power up the RM-4E: Relays 1 and 2 toggle every second. Reader LED lines Red, Green, and Yellow flash on and off. The LCD displays the information shown in Figure 20. 34
Testing the RM-DCM-2 Indicates the state of supervised inputs Input 1 and Input 2: 0 = Open 1 = Secure 2 = Alarm 3 = Short T = Trouble (Line Fault) Indicates the state of the reader port connections (D1 line, D0 line, and DAT line, in that order): 0 = Closed 1 = Open I 1 = 0 I 2 = 0 W = 1 1 1 S 5 = 0 0 0 T = 1 K 1 = 0 Indicates the current position of switches 1, 2, and 3 on DIP switch S5: 0 = On (Closed) 1 = Off (Open) Indicates the state of the Tamper enable switch: 0 = Closed 1 = Open Indicates the state of the keypad input lines, where the number after K is the keypad input. The last change is displayed. 0 = Closed 1 = Open FIGURE 20. Self-Test LCD Display 5. To test the supervised inputs, attach a 1K Ω resistor to each input (Input 1 and Input 2) as shown in Figure 21. Prior to installing the resistors, the input state should be open (0). After installing the resistors, the input state should be secure (I1=1 and I2=1). Input 1 Input 2 1K-ohm resistors FIGURE 21. Attaching Resistors to the Supervised Inputs 6. To test each reader line, short to ground, one at a time, each of the three reader data lines (D0, D1, and DAT) on the Reader port. After shorting a data line, the display should show a 1 in the appropriate reader line position to indicate that the data line is low (for example, W=010 when you short the D1 line). After removing the short from the data line, the display should revert to 0 for that reader line. 35
Testing the RM-DCM-2 7. To test the tamper switch, short tamper connector SW2-2 to ground. The display should change to T=0. Remove the short. The display should revert to T=1. 8. To test SW5 positions 1, 2, and 3, set each of these DIP switches to the Off (open) position. The display should show S5=111. Set each of these DIP switches to the On (closed) position. The display should show S5=000. 9. To test the keypad, short to ground each of the eight keypad connectors on port J2 one at a time. The display should indicate that a voltage level change was detected. For example, if you short keypad connector 3, the display should show K3=0, where K3 is the keypad connector number and 0 is the new state. Manual Test Procedure To manually test the RM-DCM-2: 1. Measure the supply voltage to the RM-4E. The voltage can be measured between pin 1 (ground) and pin 2 (supply) on the Power-In connector. The voltage must be +12 Volts (+/-5%) or +24 Volts (+/- 10%). 2. Check the RM-4E address setting. The RM-4E must be set to an unused address when connected to the apc or ISTAR. The LCD will display the switch setting upon power-up. Verify that the displayed reader address is correct for your installation. 3. Check the board for communications to the apc or istar. Observe LEDs DS1 and DS2 on the lower right corner of the RM-4E board. The LEDs should blink rapidly to indicate communication to and from the RM-4E. If the LEDs are not blinking, the RM-4E may not be properly configured in C CURE. 4. Check the supervised inputs. With no switches or resistors connected to the Input 1 and Input 2 lines, the C CURE Monitoring Program should report inputs as Open Loop. When you connect the 1K Ω resistor to the input terminals, the C CURE Monitoring Program should report the input as Open loop cleared. 5. Check the outputs.
