PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 4.12 Communication Between the Access Control Network and Host Computer Communication between the access control network and the host computer may be made via one of three ways. • • • A direct connect cable between master controller and host computer via the RS-232 serial port (see Section 4.12.1). Two modems making a remote connection between the master controller and host computer via the RS-232 serial port (see Section 4.12.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 4.12.1 • Direct Serial Connection – Controller to PC If the host computer has a male DB-9 connector on the serial port, you must use a Keri Systems KDP-552 cable or create a cable according to the drawing in Section 4.12.1.1 on page 14. 4.12.1.1 PC/DB-9F to PXL/TB-12 RS-232 Direct Serial Connection The Keri Systems part number for this cable is KDP-252.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 4.12.2 Modem to Controller To make the connection between access control network and host computer you will use two cables: one between the host computer and its modem (see Section 4.12.3 on page 16), and one between the master controller and its modem. • • If the modem has a female DB-25 connector, you must use a Keri Systems KDP-336 cable or create a cable according to the drawing in Section 4.12.2.1.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 4.12.3 Modem to PC Serial Connection Keri Systems does not provide this cable. It is an off-the-shelf item from any computer supplier or electronics store, and its configuration is dependent upon the configuration of the serial port on the host computer. Based on the serial port, there are four possible cables.

PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 5.0 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-500/PXL-510 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.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 5.3 RS-485 Wiring Test The RS-485 wiring test is provided for field testing of the RS-485 connection. The RS-485 wiring test is done in two steps. The first step tests the negative side of the RS-485 (TB-1 pin 1 - see Figure 1 on page 1). The second step tests the positive side of the RS-485 (TB-1 pin 2). Make sure the RS-485 cable drain wire is connected to pin 3 on TB-1 on each controller in the network.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 5.4 Resetting the Controller's RAM If you're turning system power on for the first time or have just changed the EPROM/PIC, the PXL-500/PXL-510 controller's RAM must be reset before performing any other action. This clears any spurious information that may be in the RAM in preparation for entering your access control information. Before applying power, insert a jumper across pins 1 and 2 of JP10 on the controller.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 5.7 The Master Controller The Master Controller must be set to address 1 so that all slave controllers on the access control network can identify the master controller. For the Master Controller to correctly identify all slave controllers on the network, one of two things must be done. 1. The master controller must be the last unit on the network to be powered on.
PXL-500 / PXL-510 Tiger Controller Quick Start Guide 6.0 General Information on Inputs A controller input detects a state change generated by a device outside the controller that may prompt a response from the controller. Input devices that generate a state change may be normally closed or normally open. This section provides a brief description of normally closed versus normally open inputs. 6.1 Normally-Closed A normally closed input device continually keeps a circuit active or complete.
