1 Chapter 1: Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 About Symmetry Symmetry is a security management system that provides a single integrated solution for all key elements of site security, including access control, intruder detection, guard patrolling, intercom management, CCTV monitoring, video recording and video playback.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 Standalone or networked PCs running the Security Management System Software (used for system setup and monitoring). Database Unit (e.g. 4DBC) Database Unit (e.g. DBU) Up to 32 database units in chain Wired or wireless comms Edge Network Video Server (ENVS) LAN/WAN Door Controller (e.g. 2DC) Door Controller (e.g.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 A database unit and all the controllers that are connected to it is collectively known as a "node". An elevator node is available that can control access to 64 elevator floors and four cabs. The node contains an Elevator Interface Board, which is a controller that enables the elevator readers and other hardware, such as floor buttons, to be connected.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 Table 1-1: Summary of M2150 Main Boards Device DBU Picture Purpose A database unit that allows autonomous operation of up to 16 readers. Readers, monitor points and auxiliary outputs connect using separate door and/or alarms controllers. The unit can be fitted with an optional NIC-4 or NIC-WI module, which allows LAN or wireless access from an SMS PC for system configuration, monitoring and reporting.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 8DBC This is a combined database unit and door controller for up to eight readers and associated door furniture (release device, bypass, door monitor and exit request button). 20mA (MCLP) or Wiegand readers can be connected (Wiegand readers require the WIM-8 module). An optional I/O module can be fitted to enable connection of auxiliary outputs and monitor points.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 A four-camera digital video server (see page 26). ENVS Table 1-2: M2150 Optional Modules Device One-Port RS232 module Picture Purpose A module (MN-232-1) that mounts onto a database unit to enable use of a fall-back modem, bi-directional communications with an SMS PC, or communications with a serial device such as an ENVS. The module is necessary only if the integrated RS232 port is in use.
Introduction to Symmetry and M2150 Examples of Equipment Use Table 1-3 gives examples of the maximum number of readers, auxiliary outputs and monitor points that are available with different combinations of equipment. The table shows a small sample of possible configurations.
2 Chapter 2: Designing and Planning an M2150 System About this Chapter This chapter explains the issues to consider during system design, planning and installation.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System cables to readers and door furniture and therefore the cost of installing the equipment. When choosing the number and type of database units and door controllers, consider the locations of the readers and the total cost of installing the equipment, not just the cost of the hardware. Using Chains for System Expansion When more than one database unit is required, a common practice is to fit a NIC module to each database unit.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Power for Auxiliary Outputs In most cases, power for auxiliary outputs can be sourced from the controller's internal power supply unit. You will need to make sure that the power supply is able to provide sufficient current for all required devices. The section on page 27 explains how to do this.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Note: • Antipassback can have an impact on the number of database units required. If the site is to use antipassback rules, please refer to the section on page 20. • Each elevator to be access controlled requires a separate DBU in an elevator node (see page 14). Specifying the Address of a Door or Alarms Controller Each door and alarms controller connected to the same database unit must have a unique address, which should be marked on the Site Schematic.

Designing and Planning an M2150 System Determine whether this level of communications security is necessary. The decision may be based on any history of network interruptions and whether the network architecture could accommodate two network paths to SMS PCs. The feature is not applicable to other NIC modules, such as the NIC-WI. Each NIC4 module requires a separate IP address. Note: Only one LAN chain needs to be defined in the SMS software.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Planning for Elevator Control The elevator controller is an M2150 node that can be used to control access to elevator floors. The node interfaces with the elevator control system and floor-selection panel to ensure that the card holder is delivered only to authorized floors. The node supports up to: • 64 floors for a single-cab system. For more than 32 floors, a slave unit is also required. • 32 floors for a two-cab system (32 floors per cab).
Designing and Planning an M2150 System floor is in the card holder's access rights, the appropriate floor relay in the node is de-energized (COM to NC contacts made) and further transactions are inhibited for the length of time specified by the reader's Floor Selection Time. Note: In the SMS Software, the elevator node Floor Selection option must be set to Individual to activate Enable Select mode.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Free/Secure Relay Each relay board in the elevator node includes a free/secure relay, which is energized if any of the floors controlled by that relay board is in Secure Access mode. The relay is deenergized when all floors are in Free Access mode. This could be used by an external device to indicate the current access status. During system planning, determine whether this feature is required.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Safety The elevator node may have mains electricity connected to the floor relays. Power to the floor relays must be disconnected before carrying out any installation or servicing work. Make sure that installers are aware of this safety issue. Mains wiring must be carried out only by a competent installer. The equipment must be grounded. In some localities, there are union affiliations or certifications required to work on elevator systems.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Choosing the Cabinets This section explains the standard cabinets/enclosures available for M2150 systems. There are two main cabinet types: ones that have a hinged door (CAB3A, CAB4A and CAB5 ), and others that have a removable lid (ENC-1, ENC3 and ENC4). There is also a RAK3, which is a 19" rack-mountable cabinet. Note: Only the CAB3A and CAB4A can be used for installations that require compliance with UL294.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System ENC-1L The ENC-1L is available only for certain markets. It can contain a 32Vac power supply unit (MN-PSU-2+2), two 12Vdc backup batteries and the following: • One 8DBC, 4DBC, 2DBC, 4DCN, 4DC, AC24/4 or OC4/24 • One or two 2DCs. ENC-1 The ENC-1 can contain any of the following, with a 3.0A (MN-PSU-KIT; 7000-5283) 12Vdc power supply unit: • One ENVS, 8DBC, 4DBC, 2DBC, 4DCN, 4DC, AC24/4 or OC4/24 • One or two 2DCs.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Planning Antipassback Note: You need to read this section only if the site requires antipassback rules. Installation and planning is made easier if antipassback is not required. If antipassback is required, consider the type of antipassback required: zonal or timed. Timed is easier to set up, but is not quite as secure as zonal.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System The system remembers which zone each card is in and updates this information whenever the card is used at a zonal antipassback reader. An antipassback alarm or event is generated if the reader's from zone does not match the card's currently-recorded zone. For example, an alarm or event is generated if the from zone of the reader is zone 3, but the card is currently recorded as being in zone 1.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Selecting the Readers Select the type of reader to be used for each access-controlled door. Magnetic stripe, proximity, smart card and fingerprint readers are available. All are easy to use and install, and are available in a number of attractive designs. M2150 supports 20mA multiNODE Current Loop Protocol (MCLP), Wiegand and RS485 readers.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Planning the Reader Locations Specify the type, model and location of each reader, the door it is to control and the cable routing path between the reader and door controller. Check the locations during a site survey. Readers need to be located on the unhinged side of the door, and away from desks or other items that could make access difficult. Specify the position and height of each reader. The normal height for standard card readers is approximately 5' (1.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Specifying the Door Furniture The door furniture (Figure 2-3) can consist of a release device, door monitor, exit-request button/sensor and bypass circuit. The exit-request button and bypass circuit are optional. The bypass circuit enables a device such as an alarm sensor to be automatically bypassed while the lock is released.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Inductive load, e.g. electric lock or striking plate Cathode IN4004 Anode Figure 2-4: Connecting a Noise Suppression Diode Choosing Cable Supervision The cables to the door monitors and exit-request buttons can be supervised for short and open circuits, as described on page 31. Determine the level of cable supervision that the customer requires, and make sure that the correct resistors will be available to the installer.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Using an Edge Network Video Server (ENVS) An ENVS is a network device for recording and streaming video from up to four connected cameras. An ENVS can be fitted inside the same cabinet as a database unit or controller, or can be a standalone or rack-mounted device. When the optional hard disk is fitted, a store-and-forward function allows video to be recorded locally, then forwarded over a network to a storage location during out-of-hours times.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Considering the Power and Ground Requirements Introduction Power can be provided by an power supply mounted in the cabinet, as follows: • For ENC3, ENC4, CAB3A, CAB4A and CAB5: Two power supplies are available: − MN-PSU-6A. This can supply a maximum of 6.5A @ 12Vdc. 6A is available to power the board, readers, etc. A separate output provides up to 500mA for battery recharge.

Designing and Planning an M2150 System Determining the Cable and Wiring Requirements Table 2-5 shows the recommended cable types and maximum distances. It is important to check that the planned cable routes will not cause these distances to be exceeded. Table 2-5: Cable Types and Maximum Distances Item to be Connected Max.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Cable Supervision Determine the level of cable supervision required for cables to door monitors, exit-request buttons and monitor points. This allows short-circuit, open-circuit and tamper conditions to be detected, depending on the termination resistors added to the end of the cable (i.e. as near as possible to the monitor-point contact, etc.). The SMS software can generate an alarm or event for any cable fault or tamper condition.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Six-State Supervision Six-state supervision is applicable to monitor points connected to: • Alarms controllers. • 4in-8out or 8in-4out I/O modules fitted to M2150 controllers/database units with v3.0 or later firmware. Six-state supervision allows the status of a sensor tamper switch to be monitored, as well as both shortcircuits and open-circuits on the cable. Six-state supervision uses the cable termination shown in Figure 2-8.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Planning the SMS Software and PC Requirements Selecting the SMS Software Edition It is necessary to select one of four editions of the SMS software to use: Business, Professional, Enterprise or Global, as described in the following sections. The software edition selected must be appropriate for the size and requirements of the system being installed. Version 6.1 SP2 or later of the SMS software must be used.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Region 0 (Head Office) Server (holds local databases) Access-control equipment is connected to each regional system in the normal way.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System The Global edition architecture provides the ultimate resilience for multi-site applications. Any failure of the corporate network links still allows autonomous systems to continue operating fully at a local level. The Central Card Handler database can be located on the head office server or on another machine.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Most installations use the standard Administration Client software, which gives access to all screens of the SMS software (depending on operator permissions and the options purchased). However, for specialist purposes, the following client types are also available: • Alarm Client – An Enterprise or Global edition client that can be used only to display the View/Alarms screen for acknowledgment and clearing of alarms.
Designing and Planning an M2150 System Installation Requirements Before installing an M2150 system, all installers should be made aware of the following. UL Requirements Ensure that all installers are familiar with UL installation requirements, as given in Appendix B on page 54. Shielded Cable (Screens) To avoid multiple paths to ground, cable shields must be connected only as shown in the installation instructions.
