As with all Sensor controllers, the IC500 and the IC500IP are based on microprocessors which are designed to
operate 24 hours a day. Like all our controllers, the IC500 range can be connected to various external ele-
ments such as card readers, electric locks, alarm detection devices, printers, computers, etc., but the installer
should be aware that this kind of system can be subjected to the following problems:
1- Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI). EMI can be present along the cables that
connect the controller to the external elements. Undesired voltage may result in
erratic behaviour, random power ups, or even in serious damage.
2- The Exterior Elements themselves. In cases where readers, door locks, alarms,
etc., have not been supplied/recommended by Sensor, erratic behaviour or com-
plete failure can sometimes result.
It is absolutely imperative that from the moment a Sensor controller is installed the individual responsible
for the installation adheres to the directives listed below. Should any of these directives not be adhered
to Sensor cannot assume responsibility for any problems that might be encountered.
1. The control unit must never be installed inside a high voltage electrical power box nor must it be placed in
close proximity to large transformers and/or high voltage/current source devices. Since the controller may
require maintenance it is also important to consider the accessibility of the unit.
2. The IC500 boards must be separately grounded so it is important to ascertain whether the installation site
can provide adequate grounding facilities.
3. It is essential to plug the mains power cable into a clean line (i.e. a line not being used by other pieces of
equipment) or into an independent line which has been specifically allocated to the controller.
4. The cover or case that contains the controller should be tightly screwed down or locked in place.
5. Never use the system cables guide to pass wires from another system such as using a conduit also used by
other cables.
