SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
The location of the tracker expansion board(s) is dependent on the application that it is being used. Tracker expansion boards
can be installed in selected card reader housings, or they can be installed in their own enclosure (enclosures are optional and
not included with the tracker expansion board). DoorKing has two enclosures available for this purpose. The small housing will
hold a single tracker expansion board and the large housing can hold up to four tracker expansion boards. In addition, the large
housing has convenience outlets to power up to four accessory transformers.
Selected models of proximity card readers are available with an enclosure that has ample room for a tracker expansion board to
be mounted inside the housing. This simplifies the installation of the card reader used with the tracker expansion board.
HARDwire Run: Up to 24 tracker expansion boards can be wired to EACH of the TWO communication
lines available (relay 2/wiegand 2 and relay 1/wiegand 1) at the access control system.
A second communication
line can be wired with the
same wiring limitations shown in examples if desired.

Example 1: 4000 ft total, ONLY one HARDwired communication line shown. 2 boards are connected to relay 2/wiegand 2.
Communication line to boards are
connected in parallel. Allows “teeing”
of communication cable for optimal
cable routing.
A second communication
line can be added with same
wiring limitations shown in
examples if desired.

Example 2: 4000 ft total, ONLY one HARDwired communication line shown. 8 boards are connected to relay 2/wiegand 2.
Communication line to boards are connected
in parallel. Allows “teeing” of communication
cable for optimal cable routing.
Relay/Wiegand Note:
Relay 2/wiegand 2 MUST be connected to tracker
expansion board addresses 3 thru 10.
Relay 1/wiegand 1 connects to tracker expansion board
addresses 11 thru 18 if that many boards are desired.
Zone addresses can be used if desired.
Zone addresses can be used if desired.
IMPORTANT: The maximum distance for a tracker expansion board HARDwire run is 4000 feet TOTAL (1 to 24 boards
can be in a HARDwire run). The farthest boards can be NO more than 2000 feet away from the access control system.
This access control equipment must be installed inside of a controlled, protected or
restricted area to comply with UL 294 certification. See page 1 for more information.
2.1 System Layout Examples
IMPORTANT Wireless communication maximum distances between the access control system and tracker expansion
boards will vary from the HARDwire run distances illustrated below. See the instruction sheets in the wireless kits and the
Layout and Start-Up Procedure for the correct distances between the hardware when using wireless communication.
