PXL-250 Quick Start Guide PXL-250 Tiger Controller Make the following connections for a single-line LED or Essex Keypad Wiegand device. • The "A" input device is wired to TB5. • The "B" input device is wired to TB6. Figure 5: Single-Line LED and Essex Keypad Wiegand Reader Connections Make the following connections for a dual-line LED Wiegand device. • The "A" input device is wired to TB5. • The "B" input device is wired to TB6.
PXL-250 Tiger Controller Connecting a Door Status Input Each PXL-250 is shipped with an installation kit including all necessary terminal blocks and transorbs. One of these terminal blocks has a jumper across pins 1 and 2. This terminal block is designated for use on TB-4. If a door switch is not used on the controller, this jumper prevents a continuous door open status alarm from being received by the controller. If a door switch is used, simply remove this jumper and install the door switch leads.
Quick Start Guide PXL-250 Tiger Controller 4.7 Connecting a General Purpose Input The general-purpose input is used in conjunction with the programmable input/output feature of the Doors access control software. There are three possible uses for the general-purpose input.

PXL-250 Tiger Controller Powering The Controller for the First Time NOTE: Verify the earth ground1 has been connected at pin 3 of TB-2 before turning the power on for the first time. NOTE: Do not connect the 12 VDC power supply’s terminal block output to the TB-2 connector on the PXL-250 controller until you have completed all the steps in section 5.1. 5.1 Verify the 12 VDC Supply Voltage To verify the 12 VDC supply voltage: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Quick Start Guide PXL-250 Tiger Controller NOTE: Resetting the system RAM completely erases all information within the PXL-250 controller. If there is any information in system RAM from an access control installation and the system RAM is reset, the information in the controller is lost and cannot be recovered. 5.4 Viewing the Controller's Address To view the controller's address, click S1. The controller's address will appear on the address display for 2 to 3 seconds. 5.
PXL-250 Tiger Controller Reader Responses to Access Control Events During day-to-day activity, the reader will respond to access control events in a specific manner. Table 3 provides a summary of the reader's LED and beeper actions during access control events.
Quick Start Guide PXL-250 Tiger Controller 6.1 Normally-Closed A normally closed input device continually keeps a circuit active or complete. A state change is generated when the normally closed input device is forced open, breaking the circuit. In an access control system, a door switch is a typical example of a normally closed device. While the door remains closed, the switch remains closed. When someone opens the door, the door switch is opened, breaking the circuit and generating a state change.
