General Information 
The DSX-1022 is an independent processing, two door 
intelligent controller designed to be a cost effective building 
block of the DSX hardware platform that allows expansion in 
a scalable manner. Up to 2 doors can be controlled from 1 
enclosure allowing it to be strategically deployed where a few 
number of readers are required such as parking garages, gates 
and other remote situations. This newly designed controller 
has several new features such as fuses in line with the common 
terminals on all four relay outputs. Battery Test and Load Shed 
are also new features incorporated into the panel to protect the 
panel and its backup battery. The DSX-1022 carries a Limited 
2 Year Warranty. 
Controller Architecture 
The DSX-1022 Intelligent Controller (panel) is designed as a 
unitized (processor and I/O board combined) controller with 
small space requirements that accommodates two discreet 
reader/keypad controlled doors. The DSX-1022 can be used in 
conjunction with all other DSX Controllers as a Master or 
Slave in the Controller Network. The first Controller of each 
location is designated as the Master. The Master is responsible 
for communications to the PC and to the Slave Controllers. 
The unitized DSX-1022 controller contains an AM186 
processor, RAM, ROM, power supply, and removable field 
wiring terminals. Each DSX-1022 operates as a fully 
distributed processing control panel that retains all data 
necessary for system operation in its own RAM. Each DSX-
1022 checks its database to make decisions about access 
control, alarm monitoring, and time zone changes. The DSX-
1022 has an integral real-time clock and calendar which allows  
Time Zone control with Holiday overrides for Inputs, Outputs, 
and Cards even when communication to the PC or other 
Controllers is not available. 
Reader Technologies 
The DSX-1022 is compatible with Wiegand, Barium Ferrite, 
Proximity, Bar Code, Magnetic Stripe, Biometrics and Smart 
Card readers. Any combination of reader technologies may be 
used in the same system. A keypad may be added to most 
readers to create a Card and/or PIN controlled entry point. The 
DSX-1022 is compatible with over 240 different card readers / 
keypads and card formats which make it the perfect panel for 
retrofits. DSX Controllers support FIPS and TWIC Cards. 
Memory 
The DSX-1022 has a standard configuration of 512K of Flash 
ROM and 512K of RAM. The RAM memory allocation is 
dynamic between database and event storage and set for 
optimum use by the Host PC according to data entered for that 
location. 
Inputs 
The DSX-1022 has 8 EOL supervised Inputs capable of two, 
three, and four state point monitoring with status LEDs. The 
armed status of each Input can be controlled by up to 4 Time 
Zones, I/O & Card Linking, and manually from the PC. Two 
Inputs (input 7s) are designated as the Door Position Inputs for 
the reader controlled doors. Two Inputs (input 8s) are 
designated as the Exit Request Inputs for the reader controlled 
doors. The remaining four Inputs are then left for point 
monitoring of any contact closure output device.
