INSTALLATION GUIDE - REMOTE ACCESS CONTROLLER RAC 4XT • PK3191_10_14
To power the motion detector, connect 
the +12V input of the motion detector to 
the red wire connecting the +DC OUT 
terminal on the power supply and the 12V 
input of the controller PCB (J16, pin 1), 
as shown in Figure 8 of Annex B. Then 
connect the GND input of the motion 
detector to the black wire connecting the 
-DC OUT terminal on the power supply 
and the GND input on the controller PCB 
(J16, pin 2). The use of wire connectors / 
caps is recommended to ensure reliable 
electrical connections.
NOTE:  If the Egress reader is not used on 
RAC 4XT, the motion detector can 
also be powered from J14, pin 3 (12 
V) and J14, pin 2 (GND).
5.   Remote Programming Interface (RPI)
   Refer to Annex B, Figure 10 for detailed 
wiring.
Run a 4-conductor cable from the RPI to 
terminal block J6 on the controller PCB. 
Connect as per Annex A, Table 3.
6.  Fire Alarm Panel
   Refer to Annex B, Figure 11 for detailed 
wiring.
Remove the jumper wire connected 
between pins 3 and 4 of connector J18 on 
the controller PCB and complete the fire 
panel installation as per manufacturer’s 
indications.
7. Tamper Switch to Premise Alarm 
 System
To wire the tamper switch to the premise 
alarm system disconnect the wires on 
controller PCB connector J7 pins 1 & 2, 
and run a 2-connector cable from the 
switch to the premise alarm system.
IMPORTANT:
The tamper alarm switch’s polarity is such 
that when the door is closed the switch 
itself is also in a closed state. Ensure that 
the wiring to the premise alarm system is 
done accordingly to prevent false alarms.
Step 8: Relay Expansion Board outputs 
wiring
Refer to Annex B, Figure 12 for sample wiring 
diagram.
The relay expansion board provides 8 relay 
contacts for wiring & control of relay-enabled 
peripherals, such as an elevator. The board 
only provides normally open or normally 
closed dry contacts, so no power is provided 
by the board for peripherals.
When a relay expansion board is connected, 
the controller PCB’s on-board single relay 
output is disabled and any wiring of external 
equipment must be done to the expansion 
board.
As wiring of relay-controlled equipment may 
vary between products please refer to the 
product manufacturer’s instruction booklet 
for proper instructions.
NOTE:  Refer to Annex A, table 4 for specific 
relay expansion board bypass 
switches.
-   If bypass switches are ‘ON’, the relays are 
bypassed and the green LED associated 
with that relay is turned OFF.
-   If bypass switches are ‘OFF’ the controller 
PCB can activate the relays. The 
associated LEDs turn OFF during relay 
activation.
NOTE:  When the power to the RAC 4XT is 
too low (power failure, low voltage in 
battery back-up) the controller PCB 
stops functioning and the relays on 
the controller PCB or the expansion 
board will return to their normal state. 
Any peripheral connected to the relays 
will then be either in a normally open 
(NO) or normally closed (NC) state, 
dependent on the wiring.
Elevator Controller Installation:
The most common application for a relay 
expansion board is to control an elevator. As 
the board contains 8 dry relay contacts, 8 
common areas can be controlled. The relay 
outputs are at the wiring input of each three 
terminal connector (NO, COM, NC) on the 
expansion PCB as well as being indicated on 
the label on the inside of the door. Several 
floors can be controlled by one relay (one 
common area).
