6 Step 3: Access Control Overview

Doc 6001536, Rev C

Step 3: Access Control Overview

Electronic access control has revolutionized the world of locksmiths and security. The safety in one’s

surroundings is essential. With electronic access control, where keys are replaced by electronic cards, a

person’s access to his/her place of employment/residence can be monitored and controlled. Strangers or

guests are limited in their access to a complex and workers or residents can feel safe in knowing that their

possessions and work environment are safe from those outside their office or home.

ACCESS CONTROL POINTS

An access control point is usually a door where a person’s access is controlled by time, duration and

privilege. Is this person allowed to enter this door? At what time(s) of the day and week is this person

allowed in or out? How long is this person allowed in through this door before s/he has to come out?

Each EMC can have (2) two access control points per panel, or (2) two doors. Additional units

added to the first then increase the number of doors one unit can control and monitor. With two

EMCs hooked together, one can monitor four doors; with three EMCs hooked together, one can

monitor six doors, and so on.

An access control environment can vary by the number of units in a system and the number of doors

that can be monitored. Likewise, the equipment or elements in an access control point may vary due

to the level of security needed or the kind of access allowed.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

On the system level, the EM3000 software runs the access control system by communicating

instructions from the computer through an RS-485 communications converter to the EMC.

The EMC uses card readers as the access control device to gain entry. Each EMC will manage two

readers and the accompanying door sense equipment. Door locks, usually door strikes or magnetic

locks, must be powered by a separate low voltage power supply other than that powering the EMC

and readers. There is often a door monitoring contact that is used to monitor if the door is closed or

open.

Other types of equipment that can be used include:

 A REX (Request To Exit) device: A push button that releases the door lock to allow one to

exit through the door.

 A PIR (Passive Infrared Detector): A detector that has the same function as a REX, but is

activated by body temperature. These are important if monitoring the door for alarm activity is

used. The REX equipment bypasses the alarm detection software for a period of time to allow

free exit. If the REX equipment is not used, and the door is being monitored for alarms, an

alarm will be generated every time someone leaves through the door.

Step 3: Access Control Overview 7

Doc 6001536, Rev C

Determining Your Needs

Start by deciding the kind of installation you need. Some sites require a tremendously enhanced level of

access control, coupled with a security staff. However, most systems require only a fraction of that

amount. Which kind of access control system do you need?

Start with a detailed description of what your system needs to accomplish. Every site will differ because of

the different objectives and requirements. Some examples are:

 A store needs to limit shoplifters from leaving through unauthorized exits and to maintain control of

the delivery areas, stock rooms, and the store when it’s closed.

 An office building needs to monitor when employees enter and leave departments, to inhibit

entrance by unauthorized people, and to control exits.

 An institution or hospital requires that individuals stay in certain areas and out of other ones during

normal operation, but then have the ability to exit the site in case of emergencies.

These are just a few examples. Know what each particular site will require and the level of control that will

be required.

Planning Your Site

A detailed plan of your site is probably the most important element of installing a system in a matter of

hours versus a matter of days. Before proceeding, be aware of the necessities and limitations of different

parts of the system.

8 Step 3: Access Control Overview

Doc 6001536, Rev C

SYSTEM SETUP REQUIREMENTS

In every case, an access control system will require the set up and placement of the following:

 EMC with its 12VDC Power Supply Board connected to a 110VAC junction box

 Personal Computer that monitors the access control system

 At the access control point, a Reader that determines access and a functional Electronic

Door Lock (with its own dedicated power supply) that allows access through the access point

Note: If your site must be fully functional during a power failure, door locks must have their

own battery back-up.

EMC

The proper placement of the EMC is the most

important decision in planning your installation.

Find a location that is dry, safe from large

temperature variations, and most importantly,

secure from the unexpected (e.g., vandalism).

The recommended installation locations are:

1. Telephone/ PBX rooms

2. Computer rooms

3. A wall near one of the Readers (protected

area)

4. Above a false ceiling

The EMC is rated for indoor installation only.

Figure 3: EMC

To keep your EMC working properly, place where:

 the temperature range is between 45-135 F (non-condensing).

 maximum distance from reader(s) to EMC is 500 feet.

 maximum cable distance from the PC (at the RS-485 converter) to the last EMC (if you are

using more than one) is 4,000 ft. If your installation absolutely requires a longer distance, use

an RS-485 repeater (such as B&B Electronics-485OP) to amplify the signal. Refer to the

repeater’s installation instructions for more information.

You should select an area that is the most convenient for cabling and future maintenance.

Step 3: Access Control Overview 9

Doc 6001536, Rev C

Readers

Readers should always be less than 500 feet

from the EMC.

Sentex recommends that you place your reader

between 36-48” (90cm-120cm) from the floor,

though installation should conform to the local, city,

county and state installation codes.

Figure 4: Reader Installation

Door Strike, Door Status Sensors, PIRs and REXs

Like the reader and the door lock, the door status

sensor and REX must be positioned within 500 feet of

EMC. The door sense is most often placed at the top of the

door in order to “sense” the position of the door (open,

closed, forced).

The PIR or the REX are placed on the opposite side of the

wall and allows people to exit the room or hall. The PIR is

used for automatic exit procedures or motion-detectors,

while the REX is used for manual exits.

SUPERVISED DOOR SENSE AND REX INPUTS

Sentex Systems recommends installing “supervised”

Door Sense and REX inputs. Supervised inputs allow

the system to monitor when Door Sense or REX wires

have been shorted or cut (see also Reading the Ten-

Segment LED Array on page 24).

 For installing supervised Door Sense and REX

inputs, refer to Figure 12 (page 16) and Figure

13 (page 17).

Doc 6001536, Rev C

Step 4: Installation of the EM3000 System

Before you begin, review the safety guidelines that follow. Installation of your system should take

approximately 1-3 hours per access control point (depending on your familiarity).

Grounding

The EM3000 contains parts that may be damaged by static discharge. A proper earth ground connection

will significantly reduce the chances of damage or improper operation.

Damage caused by static discharge is not covered by warranty.

To be effective, the ground connection must be

made by running 12 AWG shielded copper wire to a

good ground point (e.g., an electrical panel, a

metallic cold water pipe that runs into the earth, or

a grounding rod at least 10 feet in length that is

driven into the earth) within 12 feet of the unit.

Ground all shield/drain wires (except RS-485

cables) at the earth ground screw, located within

the EMC cabinet (see Figure 6). Ground

shield/drain wire of RS-485 cable at the PC (using

a case screw).

Even if you have a good earth ground, you should

try to discharge any static before handling the

circuit boards.

Ground all shield/drain wires

(except RS-485 cables) here

1536F23

Figure 6: Earth Ground Screw Location

Tips to Ground Yourself

1. Use a grounding strap.

2. Touch a metallic, cold water pipe that runs into the earth.

PROPERLY ROUTING THE CABLES

Do not route data and power cables in the same conduit. Cross-talk and transmission of electrical

noise may result. The EMC’s printed circuit boards will become damaged if the power cable grounds

to the data cable.
