Before you start
This installation guide explains how to install and configure Avigilon Smart Hubs (ACUs), Smart Readers (Smart
Reader v2, Smart Keypad Reader, and Embedded USB Smart Reader), and Avigilon Pro series readers (Video
Reader Pro andVideo Intercom Reader Pro), as part of the Avigilon Alta access control system. This guide also
includes information about Core Series Smart Hubs.
Conducting site surveys
Before installing Avigilon hardware, conduct a customer site survey to determine the following:
l
The number of entriesthat need to be configured (for example, doors, gates, and elevator floors)
l
Whether you're using legacy wiring or new wiring
l
The electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms, and door contact sensors that will
be used and their power requirements.
If your locking hardware requires 24V, either use a Smart Hub with a 24V power supply or use a separate
24V supply.
l
Whether you're providing backup batteries for a Smart Hub. See Selecting a backup battery on page11.
l
Whether you're supporting a legacy access control panel for mobile gateway. See Wiring to legacy
panels and mobile gateway on page52.
