Micro/5 Installation Manual

Product overview
The Micro/5 provides distributed processing for the interface of access control readers, keypads, alarm inputs and outputs back to a host system computer. This distributed processing allows each Micro/5 microcontroller to operate independent of the host system computer with the majority of access control and alarm monitoring decisions made locally at the microcontroller. The Micro/5 provides instant response for door control and alarm sensing in the field, while leaving the host system computer with more processing power for quickly executing daily operations such as alarm response, database updates and reporting. The Micro/5 has five card file slots for microcontroller boards. All boards plug into the microcontroller backplane making field configuration and maintenance easy and economical. The Micro/5 additionally incorporates FLASH memory technology that provides the ability to receive its operating system and application remotely from the host system over the already established communications path. This allows future firmware upgrades centrally from the host system without requiring costly service trips to each location for firmware replacement. Both the modular design and the FLASH memory technology of the Micro/5 provide a simple migration path when considering future host system upgrades. The Micro/5 consists of the following: Enclosure (all steel cabinet with keylock and tamper-switch-protected door) Power supply (user-provided) Battery backup power supply (user-provided) Power/Communications board

Options include: CPU board (select one): PX, PXN, or PXNplus Reader Processing board (select one type): 2RP, 2SRP, 8RP, or CK8RP Digital Input board: 20DI Digital Output board: 16DO or 16DOR

The items received in your shipment depend on the items ordered. Inspect the package and contents for visible damage. If any components are damaged or missing, do not use the unit; contact the supplier immediately. If you need to return the unit, you must ship it in the original box.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Getting started roadmap

The following is a basic outline for installing and setting up your Micro/5 system. Some steps may have been done for you depending on what you ordered. Some steps are optional, depending on the additional equipment you plan to use. These steps are noted.

CAUTION:

Do not apply power to any component until the installation is complete. Damage to components may occur if power is incorrectly applied.

1. Determine the cable clamps needed and obtain them prior to starting the installation. During the installation, remember to: label all connections/cables for ease of maintenance. leave enough slack in the wiring so the cables can be dressed. This minimizes interference during board removal or replacement.

2. Unpack your system. See Product overview on page 2. 3. Mount the enclosure. See Mounting on page 12. 4. Mount and install the power supply. See Installing the power supply on page 27. 5. Mount and install the battery backup. See Installing the battery backup on page 29. 6. Wire up the Power/Communications board. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings. Refer to Chapter 3, The Power/Communications Board on page 15. 7. If using networked micros, verify your network is up and running. 8. Install and wire up the CPU board. For the PXNplus CPU board, be sure to configure and verify the jumpers. If this is a nework micro, plug in the network cable. Refer to Chapter 4, The CPU Board on page 33. 9. Insert the reader board(s) into the enclosure and wire up the readers to the micro. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings, jumpers, and/or resistor packs. Refer to Chapter 5, The reader processing board on page 53. 10. If using digital inputs, insert the DI board into the enclosure and wire the digital inputs to the board. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings. See 20 DI board on page 106. 11. If using digital outputs, insert the DO board into the enclosure and wire the digital outputs to the board. Be sure to configure and verify the switch settings. See 16 DO and DOR boards on page 110. 12. Test the wiring before you apply power. Refer to Testing on page 9. 13. Configure your micro. If using the PXNplus CPU board, configure the micro using the Integrated Configuration Tool. Refer to Chapter 7, The Integrated Configuration Tool on page 115.

Chapter 2 Installation planning and mounting

Testing
Follow the steps below before powering up the controller. 1. Measure the AC power supplied to the power supply (110 VAC or 220 VAC, depending on the power supply installed). The power supply must have a dedicated circuit breaker. Do NOT plug into an outlet that is controlled by an on/off switch. 2. Test the reader power wiring to determine if a short circuit exists. Unplug each reader connector and measure, from the reader connector going out to the readers between pin 1 to chassis and pin 1 to pin 2, with an ohmmeter.
Result: A measurement of less than 100 ohms indicates a short circuit. Correct this condition before powering up.

3. If a 16 DO board is installed, check for a short circuit. Unplug each connector and measure from chassis ground to all pins on the DO connector.
Result: A measurement of less than 100 ohms indicates a short circuit. Trace out the wiring to locate the short circuit.

4. Reconnect all connectors. 5. Disconnect power input connector J6 on the Power/Communications board. 6. Use a voltmeter to measure input voltage across J6. Pin 3 = +, pin 4 = Ground.
Result: If

the meter reads -12 to -15 VDC, the wires are reversed.

Solution: Reverse the wires on pins 3 and 4 so pin 3 is the + voltage. The meter should read +12 to 15 VDC. 7. Reconnect the J6 connector. Once you have completed these steps, power up the Micro/5.

Safety
Radio interference
WARNING: WARNUNG: This is an FCC Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case, the user may be required to take adequate measures. Dies ist ein Klasse A Produkt. In Haushalten kann es zu Interferenzen kommen. Der Benutzer ist in diesem Fall angehalten angemessene Manahmen auszufhren.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precaution

WARNING: Circuit board components are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can cause immediate or subtle damage to sensitive electronic parts. An electrostatic charge can build up on the human body and then discharge when you touch a board. A discharge can be produced when walking across a carpet and touching a board, for example. Before handling any board, make sure you dissipate your bodys charge by touching ground. This discharges any static electricity build-up.

General installation rules

CAUTION: ACHTUNG: This equipment is to be installed, maintained and serviced by authorized service persons only. Dieses Gert darf ausschlielich von einem autorisierten Kundendienst installiert, gewartet und repariert werden.

The authorized installation contractor should comply with the following rules: Neatly label cables at both ends. (For example, label should include: Micro Address Number/Device or Reader Number) Use individually shielded pairs of cables only. All wiring must comply with local, state, and federal electrical codes and fire codes. Obey all national, state, and local electrical and safety codes. Obtain any required permits and/or inspections. Contact the local fire marshal for assistance if necessary. Safety of customer personnel is the primary consideration of the installation. Neatly dress and tie or lace all wiring in a professional manner. Gather together and tape all unused conductors in multiple conductor cables. Shield all cabling and terminate properly.

Observing noise prevention procedures

Signal transmission
Where practical, keep cables well separated from each other. Separate power cables from signal cables. Keep the break-out at the ends of signal cables as short as possible. Ground all shield drain wire(s) at the Micro/5 controller using the grounding studs provided inside the cabinet enclosure. For communication cables between microcontrollers, ground shield to the upstream microcontroller only.
CAUTION: Do not ground both cable ends.

Cable routing
Keep cabling at least one foot (30.5 cm) away from any power line or other AC voltage source. Exercise caution when locating cables and Micro/5 components near any other equipment that may cause electrical interference (noise). Examples of electrical and electro-magnetic noise sources are: Fluorescent lighting and neon fixtures. Power distribution panels, including wiring, transformers, generators, and alternators. Motors that drive machinery such as air conditioners, elevators, escalators, large blowers, and machine tools. Electromagnetic equipment such as degaussers, magnetic chucks, etc. Control equipment (relays) for machinery and other switching devices that carry or switch large currents. Radio and television receivers and transmitters. Signal generators and intercom systems. Radar transmitting equipment. Arc welders, electrodischarge machinery and related equipment. RF induction heaters.

Cable length
Minimize long parallel cable runs since they increase the likelihood of interference between signal cables and electrical interference sources. Avoid excess cable length between the Micro/5 and the optional equipment, such as readers and digital outputs, to reduce signal degradation due to external effects.

Power setup
Installing the power supply
This section describes wiring and using a power supply.
Note: 1. A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring. 2. This equipment has been designed for connection to an IT power distribution system.

Hinweis: 1. Ein leicht zugngliches Ausschaltgert muss in die Installationsverkabelung des Gebudes integriert werden. 2. Dieses Gert wurde fr den Anschluss an ein IT-Stromverteilungssystem entworfen.

The Micro/5 requires a 12 to 15 VDC power supply with a 3 amp current rating or greater depending on the configuration. (Refer to Specifications on page 3.) Several Micro/5 controllers can be powered by the same power supply. If this is done, the rating, if using 3 amps per Micro/5 installed, would be 9 amps (for example: 3 Micro/5s x 3 amps = 9 amps). If using high current readers, increase the rating as needed. All micros, readers and other devices should be referenced to the same AC ground.
Note: If installing two 8RP boards or one or more 4CRP boards, use a 5-amp power supply. For UL Listed systems, 3 amp power supply MUST be used (refer to Chapter 8, Regulatory information on page 139).

1. Mount the power supply near the Micro/5 cabinet. 2. Run the wire through the knockout hole to the Power/Communications board J6 connector; pinouts are: Pin 3 = + 12 VDC Pin 4 = - Ground (12 VDC return)

CAUTION:

1. 2.

Do not ground both cable ends. If the polarity is reversed, the fuse will blow to prevent damage. If the fuse blows, replace with a fuse of the same type and rating: For board revisions A - E, replace with a 1.5 amp 220V fuse. For board revisions F and later, replace with a 5.0 amp 220V fuse.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Figure 10. Wiring power supply

3. Install the cabinet ground complying with the following guidelines: Provide a dedicated AC ground for each microcontroller. Find the nearest earth ground, such as an electrical box or a ground bus. Run a 14-18 AWG wire from the microcontroller cabinet ground stud (located at the cabinet bottom left) to the earth ground point.

CAUTION:

Microcontroller earth grounding (AC grounding) is a critical element for proper operation. Test AC power ground to ensure proper earth grounding. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between Micro/5 ground stud and known good earth ground (metal water pipe or building structural steel frame). If resistance is greater than 50 ohms, it indicates poor AC ground. Good earth ground must be made before completing installation.

DIP switch settings for the PXN CPU board

There are no switch settings on the PXN CPU board. The addressing is configured within the Picture Perfect and Secure Perfect software. When Picture Perfect is started, the first micro in the chain of micros talks to the host who responds by giving that micro its address. Then the second micro in the chain talks to the host and receives its address. This process continues until all the micros have received their address. When Secure Perfect 3.0 is started, you will need to use Flashtool to set address and network configuration information.

Jumpers
There is one jumper on the PXN CPU board. On the 100115 board, JP1 is the boot code jumper. On the 100124 board, J2 is the boot code jumper. The settings are detailed in the table below.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Introduction
The Micro/5 microcontroller supports four types of reader processing boards: 2RP, 2SRP, 8RP, and the CK8RP. Only one type can be used at one time, for a maximum of: four 2RP boards (for support of up to 8 readers), four 2SRP boards (for support of up to 8 supervised readers), two 8RP boards (for support of up to 16 readers), or two CK8RP boards (for support of up to 16 readers).

2RP board
Introduction
Each 2RP reader board provides four unsupervised DIs (two alarm, two exit), two reader LED outputs, two door strike DO relays, two auxiliary DO relays, and two alarm shunt relays used to shunt out external alarm inputs. Please note the following: Each 2RP board is limited to only one type of reader technology: Wiegand, Strobed, F/2F, and Supervised F/2F. In addition, both readers connected to the board must be the same voltage. If nonsupervised F/2F keypad readers are installed, the normal condition of the reader DI must be OPEN. Keypad data is transmitted to the DI line terminating at J2 and J4 pin 8. If the DI contact is in the CLOSED state, no data can be transmitted. In Supervised F/2F mode, the open/closed state of the DI is dependent on the reader. When the door is securely closed, the contact will be in the CLOSED state. Each reader, DI point, Aux DO, and Exit DI on a 2RP board is addressed differently depending on the host system you are using.

Wiring readers
If wiring a 12V reader that uses 5V data lines, note the following conditions before continuing: Set the reader voltage (W1) to 5V. Wire the Reader power (Pin 1) from the reader to the Power input port (J6) on the Power/ Communications board instead of to the 2RP board.

1. Mount the reader. Refer to the manual that came with your reader for specific mounting instructions. 2. Run cable from the reader to the microcontroller. Bring each reader cable through the appropriate knockout hole in the microcontroller enclosure. Allow some slack wire for servicing the cables and for plugging cable into an adjacent slot for troubleshooting. 3. Remove 8 inches of insulating material from the cable. Unwrap shielding and tie all shields together. Connect the shield wire to the ground stud at the bottom lower left of the microcontroller enclosure. 4. Place the appropriate wires to the appropriate screw terminal on the 2RP reader board. Refer to the reader wiring diagrams in this section. Pairing of cables is very important. Important: For 12V readers using cable runs over 500 feet, you must install pull-up resistors (470 ohm, 1/2 watt) between Reader Data 0 and +12 VDC and between Reader Data 1 and +12 VDC. Some readers require pull-up resistors regardless of cable length. For 5V readers, the maximum cable distance is 300 feet with pull-up resistors. Refer to your reader manual to see if pull-up resistors are required. 5. Label each cable end with the Micro Address Number/ Device or Reader Number.

2SRP board
Introduction
Each 2SRP reader board provides four supervised DIs (two alarm, two exit), two reader LED outputs, two door strike DO relays, two auxiliary DO relays, and two alarm shunt relays used to shunt out external alarm inputs. Please note the following: Each 2SRP board is limited to only one type of reader technology: Wiegand, Strobed, F/2F, and Supervised F/2F. In addition, both readers connected to the board must be the same voltage. The 2SRP board has built-in pull-up resistors to accommodate cable lengths over 500 feet. External pull-up resistors are not required for the 2SRP board. If using keypad readers, only Supervised F/2F is supported. In Supervised F/2F mode, the DI (alarm point) is available at the reader or at the micro on GE Supervised F/2F readers that support DIs and Exit DIs. Each reader, DI point, Aux DO, and Exit DI on the 2SRP board is addressed differently depending on the host system you are using.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Wiring the readers

If wiring a 12V reader that uses 5V data lines, note the following conditions before continuing: Set the reader voltage (JP1) to 5V. Wire the Reader power (Pin 1) from the reader to the Power input port (J6) on the Power/ Communications board instead of to the 2SRP board.

1. Mount the reader. Refer to the manual that came with your reader for specific mounting instructions. 2. Run cable from the reader to the microcontroller. Bring each reader cable through the appropriate knockout hole in the microcontroller enclosure. Allow some slack wire for servicing the cables and for plugging cable into an adjacent slot for troubleshooting. 3. Remove eight inches of insulating material from the cable. Unwrap shielding and tie all shields together. Connect the shield wire to the ground stud at the bottom lower left of the microcontroller enclosure. 4. Place the appropriate wires to the appropriate screw terminal on the 2SRP reader board. Refer to the reader wiring diagrams in this section. Pairing of cables is very important.
Note: The 2SRP board has built-in pull-up resistors. Do not install any external pull-up resistors.

5. Label each cable end with the Micro Address Number/ Device or Reader Number.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Wiring the DIs

Each reader port has two supervised digital inputs which are used for door status devices (door contacts and exit request input). Since these digital inputs are supervised, they require end-of-line resistors. 1. Follow the installation specifications for the device. Mount the device according to the manufacturers specifications. The alarm device (door contact) should have a dry contact which can have a normally open or normally closed type switch. A normally closed contact is in its normal or resting position when it is closed. For example, the contact is closed when the door is closed. The opposite is true for a normally open contact. In this case, the contact is open when the door is closed. 2. Select the appropriate digital input for each alarm input device. 3. Ground the shields of the cable at the Micro/5 enclosure grounding studs. Insulate the shield (with tape or shrink tubing) at the DI device end to avoid electrical noise. 4. Install two end-of-line resistors. Install each resistor as close to the door status contact as possible. 5. We recommend the standard 1,000 (1K) ohm, 1/4 watt, 1 to 5% tolerance, high-quality end-of-line resistors. This board also supports 6.8K and 18K end-of-line resistors. See Figure 36 on page 79 for the location of the resistors. See Table 33, Supervised DI end-of-line resistors on page 70 for the appropriate switch settings. 6. Wire the supervised door DI between pin 8 (Door DI) and pin 9 (Door DI Return). Wire the supervised exit DI between pin 5 (Exit DI) and pin 10 (Exit DI Return). The contact can be normally open or normally closed.
CAUTION: The supervision capability will be impaired if the resistors are NOT wired immediately adjacent to the door status contact.

7. Insulate resistors with tape or heat shrink tubing 8. Document how you wired the alarm input devices. Future expansion of the system and its maintenance depend upon accurate documentation.

8RP board
Introduction
The number of 8RP boards supported by different host software systems varies. Consult the manual that came with your software for this information. The 8RP board has been redesigned to work with 12V readers only. This new version of the 8RP board can be identified by the assembly number 110100001 with a revision of C or later. Each 8RP board is limited to only one type of reader technology: F/2F or Supervised F/2F. External pull-up resistors are not required for the 8RP board. No DI (alarm points) or exit DIs are available on the 8RP board. Therefore, use of supervised readers is recommended since these points are available on the reader. In Supervised F/2F mode, the DI (alarm input) is available at the reader on GE Supervised F/2F readers, except for the Model 440 and the Model 445. If keypad readers are needed, use ONLY GE Supervised F/2F keypad readers or Wiegand Interface Units (WIU-2/WIU-4). Each reader, reader-based DI (input) point, and reader-based Exit DI on the 8RP board is addressed differently depending on the host system you are using. The 8RP board provides one digital output (reader LED) per reader port, 0.10 amps @ 12 VDC maximum per output point.

Device addressing
Picture Perfect
Note: Picture Perfect uses 2RP board numbers to address readers, DIs, and DOs on the 8RP board; See Table 40 and Table 41 for further information. Therefore, in Picture Perfect: Reader ports 1 and 2 are configured as Board number 1, reader address 0 and 1; Reader ports 3 and 4 are configured as Board number 2, reader address 0 and 1; Reader ports 5 and 6 are configured as Board number 3, reader address 0 and 1; Reader ports 7 and 8 are configured as Board number 4, reader address 0 and 1.

CK8RP board
Introduction
The Cardkey 8RP (CK8RP) board, along with the Secure Terminal Interface (STI) Adapter, is designed to interface with the Cardkey system. Each CK8RP board will support up to 8 STI adapters. Each STI adapter supports one reader. Firmware on the STI adapters can be updated using the CK8RP board. Up to two boards can be used per micro. If you plan on using one CK8RP board, you can also use an 8RP board, up to two 20 DI boards, and up to two 16 DO boards. Be careful that the address selection on each board is not in conflict. Each CK8RP board maps into the address of one 8RP board, two 20 DI boards, and two 16 DO boards.

Wiring STI adapters and the CK8RP board

1. Run two wires for NETA and NETB from the STI to the microcontroller. Bring each cable through the appropriate knockout hole in the microcontroller enclosure. Allow some slack wire for servicing the cables and for plugging the cable into an adjacent slot for troubleshooting. 2. Connect NETA and NETB into any of the eight connectors (J2-J9) on the CK8RP board. Since the address is set on the STI adapter and not on the CK8RP board, you can use any of the connectors. NETA and NETB signals are polarity insensitive; therefore, each can be connected to either pin 1 or pin 2.
Note: The maximum distance from the last STI to the CK8RP per pair of connectors (J2-J3, J4-J5, J6-J7, and J8-J9) is 6,000 feet. For example, the total cable distance for J2 and J3 can not exceed 6,000 feet.

3. Label each cable end with the Micro Address Number/ Device or Reader Number.

Configuring with other STIs

The CK8RP can support a total of 8 STIs in any combination from one to eight ports of the CK8RP. The configuration is dependent on total wiring length and installer preferences. A basic rule for determining wiring harness distances is that the total wire length for each connector pair (J2J3, J4-J5, J6-J7, and J8-J9) cannot exceed 6,000 feet. For examples, see Table 60.

102

Example 1 3,000 ft. 3,000 ft. 6,000 ft.

Example 3 6,000 ft. 0 ft. 6,000 ft.

Example 4 200 ft. 5,800 ft. 6,000 ft.

Since each connector pair can drive up to 6,000 feet, a total of 4 separate 6,000 foot runs can be made from the CK8RP.

Downloading firmware to STI adapters

The CK8RP board, in conjunction with one of the GE micro firmware installation tools, can be used to download firmware to STI Adapters. The P1 9-pin connector is an RS-232 modem interface that can be connected to a PC running the micro installation tool using a NULL modem cable. Refer to the micro installation tools online help for more information on this utility. Before continuing, however, review the list below containing items to note: Any host (Picture Perfect or Secure Perfect) can be selected. The HEX file to be downloaded must be resident in the same directory as the micro firmware installation tool. The micro address will correspond to the STI adapter to be updated. For example, select micro address 1 to download to STI adapter 1. Selecting 9 will update all STI adapters in the network. The micro phone number and Version file field should be left blank. The HEX file name should correspond to the download file. The baud rate should be set to 4800.
Note: The STI being updated will not be operational for the entire downloading time; all other STI adapters will remain operational. If 9 is selected for the micro address, all STI adapters will be updated simultaneously, and all will be non-operational for the entire downloading time.

Micro/5 Installation Manual

Introduction
The Micro/5 Controller supports the 20 Digital Input board, the 16 Digital Output board, and the 16 Digital Output with Relays board. Although the Micro/5 enclosure holds up to seven boards, the specific number of DI and DO boards supported by the different host software systems varies. Reference the manual that came with your host system for further information on how many boards it supports.

20 DI board
Introduction
The 20 DI board provides 20 supervised digital input (alarm) points. Supervised DIs have end-of-line resistors on the contacts which enable the microcontroller to detect line shorts and breaks in addition to the open and closed contact conditions. Please note the following: Maximum distance allowed between the Micro/5 and the alarm input device is 1,000 feet. Recommended cable wire is 2-conductor, 22-AWG shielded, stranded. Each DI point is addressed differently depending on the host system you are using.

Device addressing
Picture Perfect
From one to four boards can be configured with DI points from 16 to 35. Picture Perfect addresses DIs by board number; therefore, the DI numbers are the same for each of the possible four DI boards.

Secure Perfect
From one to four boards can be configured with DI points from 1 to 20. Addressing of DI boards follows the format: mmmm-b-pp where mmmm represents the micro number to which this DI is associated, b represents the board number, and pp represents the point or device number. For example: 0001-1-01 = DI on micro 1, DI board 1, DI 1 0001-2-01 = DI on micro 1, DI board 2, DI 1

Setting the DIP switches

Set the DIP switches on the 20 DI board before installing it and wiring the alarm input devices.
Note: Switch SW1-8 on the 20 DI board must be set to OFF.

The following are the minimum required board revisions to use a 20 DI board (P/N 110072003) with the: Micro/5-PX or -PXN: 20 DI PCB board, Revision G or later. (The revision level appears on the back or noncomponent side of board.) Micro/5-PX or Micro/5-PXN CPU board, Revision E or later. (The revision level can be found on the underside of the circuit board in the lower right corner.)

Wiring the digital input devices

1. Follow the installation specifications for the device. Mount the device according to the manufacturers specifications. The alarm device (door contact) should have a dry contact which can have a normally open or normally closed type switch. A normally closed contact is in its normal position when it is closed. The opposite is true for a normally open contact. 2. Select the appropriate digital input for each alarm input device. 3. Ground the shields of the cable at the Micro/5 enclosure grounding studs. Float the shield (with tape or shrink tubing) at the DI device end to avoid electrical noise. 4. Install two end-of-line resistors (user supplied). We recommend high quality, 1,000 (1K) ohm, 1/4 watt, 1 to 5% tolerance end-of-line resistors. Install each resistor as close to the door status contact as possible.
CAUTION: The supervision capability will be impaired if the resistors are NOT wired immediately adjacent to the door status contact.

5. Insulate resistors with tape or heat shrink tubing. 6. Document how you wired the alarm input devices. Future expansion of the system and its maintenance depend upon accurate documentation.

16 DO and DOR boards

Introduction
There are two different DO boards available: the 16 DO and the 16 DOR. The 16 DO board provides 16 digital outputs rated at 0.04 amps @ 24 VDC maximum per output point. The 16 DOR board has 16 relay output points rated at 2 amps @ 40 VDC or 30 VAC maximum per output point. The first two relays on each J connector can be wired as normally open or normally closed. The last two relays on each J connector are factory set as normally open. Note the following: The maximum allowable distance from the Micro/5 16 DO board and the output device is 1,000 feet. Two-conductor, 22-AWG shielded, stranded wire is recommended for the 16 DO board. Two conductor 12- to 22-AWG shielded, stranded wire is recommended for the 16 DOR board depending on the cable distance, amperage (current draw), and voltage of the output device. Each DO point is addressed differently depending on the host software you are using.

Device addressing
Picture Perfect
From one to four boards can be configured with DO points from 16 to 31. Picture Perfect addresses DOs by board number; therefore, the DO numbers are the same for each of the possible four DO/DOR boards.

Secure Perfect
From one to four boards can be configured with DO points from 1 to 16. Addressing of DO boards follows the format: mmmm-b-pp where mmmm represents the micro number to which this DO is associated, b represents the board number, and pp represents the point or device number. For example: 0001-1-01 = DO on micro 1, DO board 1, DO 1 0001-2-01 = DO on micro 1, DO board 2, DO 1

Wiring digital output devices

1. Mount the digital output device according to the manufacturers specifications. 2. Complete the wiring. If the DO is used to energize a relay, install a diode in parallel with the relay coil to absorb transients when the relay is de-energized. A transient protection diode (user supplied) is necessary on the 16 DO board. 3. Connect a 5 to 24 VDC power supply to port J6. The voltage needed depends on the relay requirements of the DO points. Pins 1, 3, 5, and 7 on ports J2, J3, J4, and J5 get their DC voltage from pin 1 on J6.

Troubleshooting
This section provides information to help you diagnose and solve various problems that may arise while configuring or using your GE product and offers technical support contacts in case you need assistance. (See Contacting technical support on page 158.) Refer to the appropriate section: power: See Power problems on page 148. communications: See Communications problems on page 149. readers: See Reader problems on page 149. door strikes: See Door strike problems on page 151. PXNplus CPU board: See M5PXNplus problems on page 152.

Power problems
Problem: The Micro/5 does not power up correctly. Resolution: Verify that the +5V and +12V LEDs on the Power/Communications board are on. See Figure 2, Power/Communications board layout on page 16 If these LEDs are NOT on, do the following: 1. Use a voltmeter to check the power supply output. It should read 12 to 15 VDC. If there is no output, make sure the power supply is not on a switched outlet. Be sure the circuit breaker where the power supply is connected, is not tripped. 2. Be sure connector J6 is properly seated in the board. 3. Make sure the Power/Communications board is seated properly into the backplane and that no pins have been bent on J1, the 48-pin connector. 4. Remove the Power/Communications board and inspect the fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it.
CAUTION: Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating. Do not power the unit back on until you locate and correct the problem. Follow the steps below.

a. Make sure that the wiring connections from the power supply to the Power/Communications board are not reversed. If these connections are OK, go to step b. b. Disconnect connector J6 from the Power/Communications board. Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance between pins 3 and 4. If the resistance is less than 200 ohms, there is a short from power to ground. Isolate the fault by doing the following: Remove all boards from the backplane except the Power/Communications and CPU boards. Add each board while measuring the resistance on J6 pins 3 and 4. When the resistance falls below 200 ohms while a board is plugged in, isolate the board. Continue checking the remaining boards for other ground faults. Remove connectors one by one on the faulty boards until the fault condition disappears (resistance goes above 200 ohms). Trace out wiring on these connectors to find and correct the problem.

Communications problems
Problem: The unit is properly powered, but it does not communicate with the hosts upstream micro. Resolution: Check the Receive RX LED DS1 and Transmit TX LED DS2 on the Power/Communications board. If the Receive RX LED is flashing, do the following: 1. Look at the LEDs on the CPU board. If the LEDs indicate that the microcontroller is in maintenance mode, the application code was not downloaded to the CPU. See the section covering LED function under the appropriate board section in Chapter 4, The CPU Board on page 33 to determine if the microcontroller is in maintenance mode. 2. Check the Power/Communications switch settings for proper baud rate and local or dial-up settings. See DIP switch settings on page 17 If the Receive RX LED is NOT flashing, do the following: 1. Check the host configuration (refer to your related software installation manual). 2. Be sure that the cable on the back of the host is connected to the proper host port. 3. Check the wiring between the host and the micro. See Host computer wiring on page 20. If the Transmit TX LED is flashing, check the wiring between the host and the micro. See Host computer wiring on page 20.
