Installation Guide
NOTE: If using an external DNS server, outbound UDP port 53 must also be open.
To support Wi-Fi unlocking from the mobile app, the Smart Hub’s inbound TCP port 443 must be
available from within the LAN. Inbound port forwarding on the router, firewall, or NAT device is not
required.
SELECTING A BACKUP BATTERY
While not required, Openpath recommends having a backup battery in the case of power outages.
The size of battery depends on your setup and how long you want to power the system.
Table 1: Power requirements (12V)
Smart Hub ACU
1A
Smart Reader
0.25A
Locking hardware
(while engaged)
0.25A–0.5A
Assuming a 12V power supply, a Smart Hub ACU configured with four Openpath readers and
locking hardware uses 4 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged,
you’d need 4A x 3 hours = 12 AH, so a 12V 12AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell battery.
NOTE: For a 24V power supply, you need two 12V SLA or gel cell batteries in series.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
For a UL Listed System, the Smart Hub ACU must be mounted in a LifeSafety Power E1 enclosure
with an FPO75 supply.
To mount the enclosure:
1. (Optional) Remove the enclosure’s cover.
2. Locate the top keyhole mounting holes in the back of the enclosure.
3. Mark and pre-drill the locations for the keyholes in the mounting surface.
4. Partially install two fasteners appropriate for the surface on which the enclosure is being
installed. Leave the heads of the fasteners approximately ¼" out from the surface. Minimum
fastener size should be #10 or larger.
5. Hang the enclosure on the two fasteners and mark the locations of the remaining mounting
holes.
6. Remove the enclosure and pre-drill the locations for the remaining mounting holes.
7. Re-hang the enclosure on the top mounting fasteners, install the remaining fasteners and
tighten all fasteners.
