5 Orion as replacement unit for reader Orbit
When programming the Orion (within iProtect™) as a node type "Orbit (RS422)", the Orion
will be used as a substitute for the reader Orbit (1 and 2). There is no need to update the
iProtect™ software.
The UTP cabling, the connection between Network controller and Orion, needs to be
connected to PRT1 of the Orion.
The Orion supports Clock/Data- and Wiegand card readers, which is similar as the Orbit.

on de Orion. However, the specifications of the I/O are different and needs to be taken into
account.
Below is a installation example displayed. A combination of existing Orbits and new Orion’s is
also possible:
