The PW7K1R1 is a reader interface designed to connect to various access control devices and door hardware, serving as a solution for OEM system integrators. It facilitates communication with TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F, or RS-485 devices. The interface also provides tri-stated LED control and buzzer control, enhancing user feedback and system status indication.
For door control, the PW7K1R1 includes two Form-C contact relay outputs. These relays can be used for strike control, allowing for the locking and unlocking of doors, or for alarm signaling in response to security events. The device also features two inputs, typically used for monitoring door contacts (to detect if a door is open or closed) and for connecting a request-to-exit push button. These input circuits offer flexibility, as they can be configured as either unsupervised or supervised, depending on the security requirements of the installation.
Communication with a main controller, such as a Honeywell Security intelligent controller (e.g., EP2500), is achieved via a 2-wire RS-485 interface. This half-duplex, multi-drop interface allows for robust and reliable communication over distances. The total cable length for this RS-485 communication is limited to 4,000 feet (1,219 meters). For optimal performance, shielded cable of 24 AWG with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms is specified for the 2-wire RS-485 interface. It is important to install a terminator jumper (J1) on the device at each end of the communication line to prevent signal reflections and ensure stable communication.
The PW7K1R1 requires a filtered power supply of 12 to 24 Vdc ± 10%. The maximum current draw for the device itself is 150 mA, in addition to any current drawn by the connected reader. The input power is passed through to the reader terminal strip, making it available for powering the reader. However, it's crucial to note that readers requiring different voltage requirements must be powered separately, and care must be taken to ensure the input voltage is within the reader's specified voltage range. The reader power output terminal (TB4-6, VO) is not current limited.
The device's configuration is managed through a set of DIP switches. Switches 1 to 5 are used to select the device address, allowing multiple PW7K1R1 units to operate on the same communication bus. Switches 6 and 7 are dedicated to selecting the communication baud rate, offering options such as 9,600 BPS, 19,200 BPS, 38,400 BPS, and 115,200 BPS. Switch 8 enables or disables encrypted communication, providing an additional layer of security when required. All other configuration settings are managed via the host software.
Status LEDs provide visual feedback on the device's operation. Upon power-up, all LEDs are initially off. During initialization, the D1 LED turns ON. After successful initialization, the D1 LED acts as a "Heartbeat and On-Line Status" indicator. For non-encrypted communication, it blinks at a 1-second rate (80% ON, 20% OFF). For encrypted communication, it blinks with a pattern of ".1 S ON,.1 S OFF,.1 S ON,.1 S OFF,.1 S ON,.1 S OFF,.1 sec ON,.3 S OFF". In case of an error, such as waiting for application firmware download, the D1 LED indicates this with a ".1 S ON,.1 S OFF" pattern. The D2 LED indicates SIO Communication Port Status, showing communication activity on the SIO communication port.
The PW7K1R1 is designed for use in low voltage, class 2 circuits only. It is not intended for, nor rated for operation in life-critical control applications. The manufacturer's liability is limited to the purchase price of the product.
