How to Install the ISONAS IP-Enabled Reader-controller 5
1: BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To install an ISONAS Reader-controller unit, you must complete three key wiring
tasks:
1.Supply power to the Reader-controller unit. This may be accomplished with a
power feed on the Ethernet Data cable (Power over Ethernet [PoE]) or through
an external DC power source (12VDC or 24VDC)
2.Wire the unit to the door’s locks and other components for physical access
control.
3.Connect the unit to the data network for communication with the
server/workstation host PC.
This guide discusses each wiring process separately. Understanding all of these
processes makes a project much simpler and guarantees success.
1.1: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
 If PoE is not being used, then use only UL-listed, access control, power-
limited power supplies with an ‘AC on’ indicator light clearly visible on the
enclosure. Power supplies should provide at least four hours of standby power.
Never connect power supplies to a switch-controlled receptacle.
Install the ISONAS system in accordance with the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70. (Local authority has jurisdiction.)
Use only wire or UL-listed cabling recognized suitable for ISONAS power
supply and data communications, in accordance with the National Electrical
Code.
Where possible, separate ISONAS equipment and cabling from sources of
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Where this is not possible, take other steps
to reduce the effect of EMI on cabling or equipment.
Protect input and output terminals adequately from transient signals. Also,
connect these terminals to power-limited circuitry.
