Configuring an EXP100 – old version – (rev .3xx range)
Initialization
• Do not apply power to the EXP100. Remove all copper and signal connections. Remove the
metal housing to expose the DIP switches.
• Turn DIP Switch 1 ON, all others OFF.
• Apply power to the EXP100.
• The STATUS indicator LED near the power connector should very quickly become solid green.
• If the STATUS indicator LED quickly becomes solid green, the unit is now initialized. Continue
to the Programming section below.
• If the STATUS indicator LED fails to quickly become solid green, repeat the steps above. If still
unsuccessful, consider the unit bad.
Programming
• Remove power from the EXP100.
• Turn all DIP switches OFF.
• Using DIP Switch 2, set each unit as an EXP100/C (Central unit) or as an EXP100/R (Remote unit).
• Turn DIP Switch 2 ON to make the unit an EXP100/C (Central unit).
• Leave DIP Switch 2 OFF to make the unit an EXP100/R (Remote unit).
• Using DIP Switches 6, 7, and 8, set the polling address of each pair of EXP100s using the table
below.
• If only one pair of EXP100s will be used, set the EXP100/C and the EXP100/R to polling address 1.
• If more than one pair of EXP100s will be used, set one pair of EXP100/C and EXP100/R to polling
address 1. Address the next pair using polling address 2 and continue sequentially as needed.
Number of EXP100 Pairs DIP Switch 6 DIP Switch 7 DIP Switch 8
Not used OFF OFF OFF
one pair of EXP100s – polling address 1 OFF OFF ON
two pairs of EXP100s – polling address 2 OFF ON OFF
three pairs of EXP100s – polling address 3 OFF ON ON
four pairs of EXP100s – polling address 4 ON OFF OFF
five pairs of EXP100s – polling address 5 ON OFF ON
six pairs of EXP100s – polling address 6 ON ON OFF
seven pairs of EXP100s – polling address 7 ON ON ON
• Apply power to the EXP100. The unit is now ready to use.
A common ground connection is critical for proper operation. At each remote location, a common
ground must exist between the reader(s), the FDW1000/R, and any EXP100/Rs. At the central loca-
tion, a common ground must exist between the panel, the FDW1000/C, and any EXP100/Cs.
