1. Introduction
The remote controller gives remote control to different devices such as electronic strikes or
motor locks on common doors, e.g. vehicle barriers, health clubs, conference suites, staff
entrances and hotel garages. The term remote controller in this instruction refers either to
the remote controller in a stand-alone configuration, or to the remote controller with RS-485
gateway. Depending on configuration, the external devices to be controlled are connected to
the card reader or to the RS-485 gateway.
Furthermore, the term remote controller in this instruction is a general name which
refers to slim remote controller RFID, thick remote controller RFID and remote controller
mag/smart. If nothing else is stated, the information in this instruction is general for all
three remote controller types.
The remote controller gives

 green LED signal when a valid card is presented at the reader
 red LED signal when an unvalid card is presented at the reader
In certain situations yellow LED signals are given, e.g. if one or more user groups
are blocked from the remote controller. There are also sound signals; for detailed
information about different LED signals and sound signals, see Appendix D: Door
Unit LEDs and Sounds and what they mean in User Manual Visionline.
The remote controller must be mounted on a flat surface, either indoors or outdoors. If the
unit is located outdoors it should be mounted on a vertical surface under a covering roof.
If mounting under a roof is not possible, a rain cover must be used to protect the unit from
intense rain. Avoid mounting the unit where it might be exposed to prolonged direct sunlight.

2. All cables are properly fixed and located either onto the wall or in surface conduits.
3. No cables are pinched.
4. The cable hole in the wall is filled or sealed.
5. All external devices are functioning.
17 4821995-4
3. Electrical specification
 An external power supply of 24VDC regulated voltage is needed.
 To decide the required capacity of power supply/UPS, add the power consumption of:
- remote controller
- RS-485 gateway; if applicable
- all external connected equipment, e.g. electric door strike or motor lock; if applicable
- heating element; if applicable (see below)
 The maximum current consumption for the remote controller is

- if the heating element is not used: 600 mA
- if the heating element is used: 1,5 A continuously
Note: There is no separate connection of power to the heating element.
If a heating element is installed, the power capacity for external power supply/
UPS (uninterruptible power supply) must meet this additional power requirement;
and also other power requirements according to the bullet point above.
 The maximum current consumption for the RS-485 gateway is 200 mA continuously.
 The remote controller can in the online case be connected to an RS-485 gateway.
Note: The RS-485 gateway has got 8 relay outputs which are not in use.
 The electrical standard for the serial interface connecting the different modules is RS-485.
 If the distance between the reader and the RS-485 gateway is more than 20 m/
21,8 yds, the cable should be shielded. The shield should be connected to protective
ground at one end.
 If the heating element is not used, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality recommends a

maximum cable length of 500 m/546,8 yds for the TP cable between remote controller
and RS-485 gateway. If the cable length exceeds 100 m/109,3 yds, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality
recommends a power supply of 24VDC. See sections 3.6.1-3.6.3 for details about the
different configurations.
 If the heating element is used, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality recommends a maximum

cable length of 20 m/21,8 yds or 10 m/10,9 yds for the TP cable between remote controller
and RS-485 gateway. The maximum cable length depends on whether full power or half
power is used for the heating element according to Table 1. See sections 3.6.1-3.6.3
for details about the different configurations.
 Important: The maximum load is NOT the same for a relay output on the
RS-485 gateway as for a relay output on the interface board connector; see below.
Maximum load for each relay output on the RS-485 gateway:

30V AC/DC / 600mA peak
Maximum load for the relay output on the interface board connector:
0,5A @125VAC or 2A @30VDC resistive
18 4821995-4
3.1 Interface board connector on remote controller
On the remote controller, there is an interface board with the following connections:
1 Power Input +
2 Power Input - Internally connected to GND
3 A-RS485 For online configurations
4 B-RS485 For online configurations
5 GND
6 Relay: Normally Open
7 Relay: Common
8 Relay: Normally Closed
9 Door Switch
10 Exit Button
Table 1
Note: The relay for operating strikes etc is the relay inside the remote controller.
Note: On newer models of the slim remote controller RFID, the electronics looks
as in Figure 8. The different pins on the connector are however the same for
newer and older models of the slim remote controller RFID.

Figure 26: On the interface board on top back of the remote controller, there is a
10-terminal connector where connector 1 is on the left end and connector 10 is on
the right end.
3.2 Backup battery

The variants thick remote controller RFID and remote controller mag/smart are delivered
with a 9V alkaline backup battery. The backup battery is used in case of external power
failure for the reader only, to maintain the time and parameters that have been set.
For slim remote controller RFID, no backup battery is enclosed since there is no space
to mount a backup battery inside this variant. If a backup battery needs to be used on
a slim remote controller RFID, use 3 AAA batteries in a battery cassette and mount it
in an applicable way on the mounting plate of the slim remote controller.
3.3 UPS
If the system should operate also when the main power fails, the external power supply
must be connected to an UPS; uninterruptible power supply. There is no separate connection
of power to the heating element. If a heating element is installed, the power capacity for
external power supply/UPS must meet this additional power requirement. To decide the
required capacity of power supply/UPS, the power consumption of all external connected
equipment such as electronic strike and motor locks must also be added.

ASSA ABLOY Hospitality recommends a power supply of 24VDC. If the heating element is
used, ASSA ABLOY Hospitality recommends a maximum cable length of 20 m/21,8 yds or
10 m/10,9 yds for the TP cable depending on heating element configuration; see section 3.5
for further information.
Note: All cables in the configuration are TP cables specified as above, except for the cable
between RS-485 gateway and LAN which is of CAT5 type or higher.
Note: A green LED on the interface board of the remote controller indicates when
the power is on.
Important: Use the same external power supply for the RS-485 gateway and
the remote controller, i.e. connect as described in Figure 36. This is to make
sure that the ground is common for the RS-485 gateway and the remote controller.
Figure 36: Detailed connection when remote controller and RS-485 gateway are connected to an
external power supply; max one remote controller per RS-485 gateway. See section 3.6.1 for details
about terminals 5-10 on the remote controller. For more information about terminals 9 and 10,
also see section 3.7.
28 4821995-4
3.7 Connection of electronic locking device and power supply
When the door is unlocking, the relay switches on and contact between terminals 6 and 7
is established. Below are two different connection instructions, electric striking plate and
motorized lock. These connection instructions apply for electric striking plate/motorized
lock which have the function locked without power. If locked with power is used instead,
the conductor shall go to terminal number 8, instead of terminal 6 as shown in the
illustration below.
3.7.1 Electric door strike

A transient suppression diode shall be mounted in parallell directly on the connections
of the electric door strike. The diode is used for noise reduction. The diode supplied
with this unit is bi-directional which means that the polarity does not matter.
Maximum voltage when using this diode is 24VDC.
Figure 37: Wiring example with a single power supply for both remote controller
and an electric door strike (or other device) of type locked without power.
3.7.2 Motorized lock

Normally, no transient suppression diode is used.
3.7.3 Exit button

An exit button can be connected to the remote controller, so that when the button is pushed,
the remote controller performs an opening. If the door is in stand open mode, nothing will
happen when the button is pushed.
3.7.4 Exit remote controller

The exit button input can also be connected to another remote controller. The reason is to
require access also to leave the building.
3.7.5 Door switch

It is possible to connect a door switch to the remote controller. The door switch shall have
closed contacts when the door is closed.
Note: Door switch events are always logged.
29 4821995-4
4. Initiation and service functions
4.1 Preparing for initiation

When the remote controller has been mounted and connected according to
chapters 2 and 3, the following steps should be performed:
 Remote controllers are set up as doors in the Visionline software.

See section 4.1.1 for setup of a remote controller.
 If the RS-485 gateway is used, this requires that the online option
is set and that a device is set up; see User manual Online option.
 If the initiation of the remote controller should be performed with
service PC and Lock Service, see Quick reference guide Lock Service
for information on how to download data from the server to the service PC.
If the initiation of the remote controller should instead be performed with
card, an initiation card is issued in Visionline; see section 4.2.2 below.
4.1.1 Setting up a remote controller

1. Double click on Doors under the Lists tab in the navigation window.
2. Click Add to add a remote controller. The Door Details dialog is shown.
Figure 38
3. Choose the applicable Type of door.

4. Enter a Name for the remote controller.
5. If the door type is Guest Entrance or Foyer, enter at Room Interval
the interval of rooms which are assigned for the door.
6. At Area, choose what door area the door shall belong to; should there
not be a suitable one, make a new door area by clicking the
button.
7. At Time schedule, choose if applicable what time schedule the door shall belong to;
should there not be a suitable one, make a new time schedule
by clicking the
button.
8. If desired, enter a Description.
30 4821995-4
9. At Type of lock, choose ‘Wallox E’.
10. The Open time for the remote controller is by default 4 seconds but can
be changed (the open time can be 1-30 s).
11. Under the Advanced alternative in the left part of the Door Details dialog,
some parameters can be set if e.g. a door switch or exit button should be
used. See User manual Visionline (section about Doors) for further information.
12. Click New or Save (or Update, if an existing remote controller was modified).
The Options, Indication and Online alternatives in the left part of the Door Details
dialog are not applicable.
4.2 Initiating remote controller

The remote controller is initiated with a service PC with the software Lock Service, or with
an initiation card. For more information about the service PC and Lock Service, see Quick
reference guide Lock Service. The initiation can be performed either before or after the
system-ID is set. When a remote controller is initiated, parameters such as the calendar,
the date and time (if that is chosen), remote controller number, opening time, opening
mode and cancel list are transferred.
4.2.1 Initiation with Lock Service

For information about initiating the remote controller with the service PC and Lock Service,
see Quick reference guide Lock Service.
4.2.2 Initiation with initiation card
Figure 39
1. Double click on Initiation under the Cards tab in the Visionline navigation window.
2. Select a card holder by clicking the
button;
double click on a name or mark the name and click Select.
3. Choose the expiration time of the card (the default value is one day):
enter the number of days for which the card shall be valid, or mark the
button
next to the Expiration time field and mark a date in the calendar (or enter a
date manually). The chosen date will appear at Expiration time; the number
of days will change accordingly.
4. Mark the remote controller that you want to initiate; it will appear in the
text field Initialize door.
5. Choose one of the three date/time options and fill in the fields accordingly.
6. Click Make Card; insert a card in the encoder.
31 4821995-4
Initiating the remote controller with the initiation card:
1. Insert the card into the remote controller at the exact time and date that were chosen
when the initiation card was issued (if time and date are to be set), since that specific
time will be set in the remote controller. There is a ticking sound while the information
is being transferred to the remote controller.
2. Wait for the signal before pulling the card, or the operation will not be successful.
Note: An initiation will be stored as at least two events in the event list to prevent tampering
with the time in the remote controller; one event before the initiation and one event after,
and possibly some other events if the initiation causes the remote controller status to change.
Note: The initiation card can only be used once, to avoid that two remote controllers are given
the same identity.
4.3 Service functions
4.3.1 Read-out
It is possible to read out the access list from a remote controller – it is however not possible
to see which of the outputs that were opened. The remote controller can in configurations
where the RS-485 gateway relays are not used store 2000 events. For configurations where
the RS-485 gateway relays are used, the remote controller can store 100 events.
4.3.1.1 Read-out with Lock Service

For information about read-out with the service PC and the software Lock Service, see
Quick reference guide Lock Service.
4.3.1.2 Read-out with card
Issuing a Read-out card (or Read-out card advanced) in Visionline:

1. Double click on Read-out (or, if applicable, Read-out Advanced) under the
Cards tab in the navigation window.
2. Make the applicable choices/enter the applicable fields etc in the card dialog.
3. For cards of type Read-out Advanced, it is possible to read only new events,
i.e. events that have not been marked as read in the remote controller. In this
case, check Only new events. In order to read only new events, check Mark
events as read.
4. When all information has been entered, click Make Card. Insert a card in the encoder.
Making a read-out:
Insert the card in the remote controller to make a read-out; there is a ticking sound while the
information is being transferred to the card. Wait for the signal before pulling the card or the
operation will not be successful. One Read-out card can be used in several remote controllers.
When the card is full, a signal will alert the user.
Transferring the information to the PC for processing:

1. Click on the icon Read Events from Card (or, if applicable, Read Parameters from
Card) and insert the card in the encoder.
2. Click Read card to see the fetched events (or parameters). The events/parameters
can only be fetched from the card once, then they are erased from the card; they can
however be read out from the door unit again.
