PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Prior to installing Openpath hardware, perform a customer site survey to determine
the following:
● How many entries need to be configured (e.g. doors, gates, and/or elevator
floors)
● Whether you’re using legacy wiring or new wiring
● What kind of electronic entry mechanisms, Request to Exit (REX) mechanisms,
and door contact sensors will be used and their power requirements. If your
locking hardware requires 24V, either use a Smart Hub with an included 24V
power supply or use a separate 24V supply.
● Whether you’re providing backup batteries for the ACUs. See SELECTING A
BACKUP BATTERY.
● Whether you’re supporting a legacy access control panel for mobile gateway.
See WIRING TO LEGACY PANELS.
