The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices feature a built-in single-door relay that allows them to
control a single door lock. They can therefore function on their own or as part of a larger access
control system.
System component selection is specific to each installation, but a minimum system would
consist of a finger-scan device mounted on or near an access point, an electric lock, and ca-
bling.
A more complex system might consist of devices at multiple access points (each with an electric
door lock), a multi-point controller, networking, and a PC to run the access controller and Secu-
reAdmin Server software.
See Figure 2-2 below for an example (non-Ethernet) system diagram.
Figure 2-2: Example RS-485 System Diagram
Installation of locks and access controllers should be completed according to their respective
manufacturers' specifications and in accordance with all local codes. Final connections to the
device are explained in more detail in Chapter 4.
To avoid externally generated transients, do not run any wires near utility AC power wiring, light-
ning rod grounding wire, etc. Grounding equipment is required for ESD protection and safety.
