Installation Planning
Ensure you check all of the equipment, power supply, wiring, clearances, and code compliance at the site before proceeding to
install the iSTAR Edge G2.
Equipment Check
Verify that all contents of the shipped boxes match the packing lists.
NOTE
The iSTAR Edge G2 hardware does not include mounting hardware for an installation. Mounting hardware depends upon the site and
must be approved by a structural engineer or other certified professional.
Site and Mounting Requirements
Ensure the mounting site has enough space to mount the enclosure, and can support the weight of the enclosure. For more
information on the iSTAR Edge G2 enclosure dimensions and weight see Enclosure Dimensions and Weight in theiSTAR
Edge G2 Overview on page 12.
• Ensure the site has been approved and all wiring complies with UL requirements and any other necessary codes.
• Ensure preliminary site work is complete.
• Ensure an appropriate power supply is accessible.
• Ensure the site is clean and free of dust or other contaminants.
Power Requirements
Ensure there is adequate power before installation by calculating the total power requirements of the iSTAR Edge G2 and its
related hardware. Add the total current power for all component in the system (modules, relays, optional modules, readers, and
wire resistance) to determine the total power requirement.
Table 6 on Page 18 displays the power requirements of the iSTAR Edge G2 components and attached boards.
Table 6:Components and Board Requirements
Component/Board Current Draw at 12VDC
iSTAR Edge G2 500mA at 12VDC with LCD- no load
200mA at 24VDC with LCD- no load
RM-4 Board 80 mA without LCD - no load
180 mA with LCD - no load
RM-4E Board 125 mA - no load
I/8 Board 125 mA - no load
R/8 Board 150 mA - no active relays
Add 20 mA per active relay
RM-4 boards have only been evaluated by UL with RM Series Readers.
RM-4E boards have only been evaluated by UL for use with the RM-DCM-2 enclosure.
