This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference
to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated
in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause interference in which case the user, at his/her own expense, will be required
to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.
With the RS485 communication scheme, a keypad can be located as far as 4000 feet
from the controller, therefore shielded twisted pair cable with ground wire is required for
optimal operation. Additionally, larger gauge wire must be used the farther the device
is from the controller,
The system will not operate properly if the voltage is below 12VDC. Extreme
care should be taken when choosing a power supply voltage and current rating. Long
distance runs may require a remote power supply to be installed in line with an RB5
relay to ensure proper operation.
Do NOT run low voltage system wires in the same conduit as high voltage
wiring
Incorrect installation of electrical components can result in damage to
electronics as well as personal injury.
Cross-wiring the AC power with the DC power will damage the electronics.
Cross-Wiring the Power wires with the Data wires will damage the electronics
Cross-wiring the positive and negative on the DC part of the system will
damage the electronics.
Warning: The User should follow all installation, operation, and maintenance
instructions. The User is strongly advised to conduct product and systems tests at
least once each week. Changes in environmental conditions, electric or electronic
disruptions and tampering may cause the product to not perform as expected.
PTI Security Systems warrants its Product to the User. The User is responsible
for exercising all due prudence and taking necessary precautions for the safety and
protection of lives and property wherever PTI Security Systems products are installed.
PTI Security Systems does not authorize the use of its products in applications
affecting life safety.

Computer System Requirements
PTI recommends that installation and setup of any PTI Security Systems equipment is done by
a certified, licensed, qualified technician. PTI can recommend local dealers and installers, but
it is the customers’ responsibility to verify qualifications and negotiate any pricing or contracts
(unless PTI Security Systems has been specifically contracted in writing to do so on behalf of the
customer).
Computers running any PTI Security Systems hardware, software, or utilities must meet these
computer requirements. These requirements are intended as a minimum guideline for operating
our access control system and are subject to change without notice.
With any computer setup or configuration, some troubleshooting and adjustment of the
configuration may be required. This will differ with every computer setup depending on operating
system, software installed on it, quality of components, internet connection, modem connection,
or any other variable introduced into the setup.
Troubleshooting and configuration may include the purchase of additional equipment. Under
no circumstances is PTI Security Systems be responsible for any damages either incidental
or consequential based on these recommendations If a customer intends to add third party
peripherals to the system, they are responsible for ensuring that the products are compatible
with the access control system they have installed.
NOTE: If you are using any other software as well as StorLogix™, ensure that your computer
specifications exceed the combined total requirements for all of the software loaded on the
computer.
StorLogix™ Computer Requirements

Wire and Cable Specifications
The following wire specifications are recommended for installing PTI Security Systems' products.
Planning and installing the wiring of a site is a process that requires a high degree of technical
knowledge; we recommend that this be done by a trained professional.
PTI recommends that you purchase your wire from PTI Security Systems as our recommendations
are based on extensive experience with the Falcon XT. PTI verifies that, if installed correctly, the
wire will work with the security system.
AI Device Power & Data Wire Recommendation
(from Controller to AI Devices)
PTI Part # Belden
Wire Code Description
wwir1804s*9418 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded copper wire with overall
shield and common ground (PVC Insulation)
wwir1804spl 89418 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded copper wire with overall
shield and common ground (Plenum Insulation)
wwir1804sdb 9552 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded copper wire with overall
shield and common ground (Direct Burial)
* Denotes standard recommended wire.
• Never use wire smaller than 18 AWG for installing power to AI devices.
• Never use any unshielded wire for installing power and data to AI devices.
• Data wire length should never exceed 4000 feet in a single linear distance.
• Maximum length for power will vary significantly because of voltage drop due to current
draw, number of devices, splices, and other factors.
Using the wrong wire for an application can cause problems with voltage drop,
RF interference, and ground faults.
Always refer to local code prior to ordering the wire for your site,
as these requirements may be more stringent.
