The LNL-1320 Board

The LNL-1320 reader interface boards provide a solution to the host system integrator for interfacing to a TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), or 2-wire RS-485 device and door hardware. The LNL-1320 provides a tri-state LED control and buzzer control. Six (6) Form-C relay outputs may be used for strike control or alarm signaling. Eight (8) inputs are provided that may be used for monitoring the door contact, request to exit push button and alarm contacts. Input circuits can be configured as unsupervised or supervised.

The LNL-1320 communicates to the controller via a 2-wire RS-485.

See the following diagram for component location (some components shown are not present on the LNL-1320).

Supplying Power to the LNL-1320

The LNL-1320 accepts 12 to 24 VDC for power on TB7 (VIN and GND). Locate the power source as close to the LNL-1320 as possible. Make power connection with minimum of 18 AWG wires.

Observe POLARITY on VIN!

The VOUT terminal on TB7 is the same as VIN.

Communication Wiring (SIO Communication Port)

The LNL-1320 communicates to a Lenel intelligent controller (LNL-3300, for example) via a 2-wire RS-485 interface. The LNL-1320 allows for multi-drop communication on a bus of up to 4000 feet (1219 m). Use twisted pair (minimum 24 AWG) with drain wire and shield for communication. See Specifications section.

Install RS-485 termination jumper, J4, on the interface boards at each end of the communication line only.

Reader Wiring

Each reader port supports a reader with TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), or 2-wire RS-485 signaling. Power to the reader is selectable: 12 VDC (VIN must be greater than 20 VDC), or power is passed-through (PT) from the input voltage of the LNL-1320 (TB7-VIN), 300 mA maximum per reader port. Readers that require different voltage or have high current requirements must be powered separately. (Refer to the reader manufacturer specifications for cabling requirements.) In the 2-wire LED mode, the buzzer output is used to drive the second LED. Reader port configuration is set via the host software.

To fully utilize each reader port:

• TTL signaling requires a 6-conductor cable (18 AWG).
• RS-485 signaling requires two 2-conductor cables. Use one (1) cable for power (18 AWG) and one (1) cable for communication (24 AWG, with drain wire and shield).

Alarm Contact Wiring

There are eight (8) inputs that are typically used to monitor door position, request to exit, or alarm contacts. Input circuits can be configured as:

• Unsupervised alarm (2 states); reporting as an open or closed contact.

• Supervised alarm (6 states); reporting as an open or closed contact, open circuit, shorted circuit, grounded circuit , or foreign voltage.

These inputs are connected using the IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6, IN7, and IN8 inputs. The standard wiring configuration is as follows:

A supervised input circuit requires adding two (2) resistors with a value of 1k ohm, 1% to the circuit to facilitate proper reporting and should be located as close to the sensor as possible. Custom end of line (EOL) resistances may be configured via the host software.

The input circuit wiring configurations shown are supported but may not be typical.

Inputs for Cabinet Tamper/Power Fault

Input CT and input BA are used for monitoring cabinet tamper and power failure with normally closed contact. These two inputs are for contact closure monitoring only and do not use EOL resistor(s). If these inputs are not used, install a short piece of wire at the input to indicate a safe condition.

Output Relay Wiring

Six (6) Form-C contact relays are provided for controlling door strikes or other devices. Load switching can cause abnormal contact wear and premature contact failure. Switching of inductive loads (strike) also causes EMI (electromagnetic interference) which may interfere with normal operation of other equipment. To minimize premature contact failure and to increase system reliability, a contact protection circuit must be used. The following two (2) circuits are recommended. Locate the protection circuit as close to the load as possible (within 12 inches [30 cm]), as the effectiveness of the circuit will decrease if it is located farther away.

Use sufficiently large gauge of wires for the load current to avoid voltage loss.

Jumper and DIP Switch Usage

DIP Switches

Switches 1 to 5 select the device address. Switches 6 and 7 select the communication baud rate. Switch 8 enables encrypted communication. All other configuration settings are set via the host software.
