Wiring rules for access control system installation
Never lay access control system wires across the surface of the printed circuit board.
Wires should never be within 1 in. or 25 mm of any component on the printed circuit board.
Use shielded input wire.
Do not use the shield as the signal return wire.
Terminate the shield of the input wires at one end of the run only, preferably at the end where your controller is located.
Be careful when stripping wire not to drop small pieces of wire inside the cabinet.
Don’t run your input wiring in the same conduit with AC power. Don’t run your input wiring in the same conduit with your output wiring.
Grounding: To ensure proper operation of the controller, it must be connected to a good Earth ground. The Earth ground connector is located on the power supply input.
