2.2. System wiring
Unless specified, all Smart Key devices require 12VDC (+/- 3V).
Figure 2a. System wiring
Smart Key Access Control System Installation Guide 7
2.3. Master controller wiring
Master controller is used to link up the system and computer. Either
USB or Ethernet can be used.
For the maximum length, please refer to table 2(b).
Master controller has 4 RS-485 I/O ports for connecting to Devices. A
device can be a DCU, a TA terminal, or a Smart Hub. That is one
master controller can be connect up to 4 DCU (or TA terminal) without
Smart Hub or connect up to 32 DCU (or TA terminal) with 4 Smart Hub.
Using twisted pair wire is recommended for better RS-485
transmission.
Master controller has one 12VDC output. The maximum output for
that power is 1.5A.
Note:
Connect the Backup battery to socket before use.
If connect Master controller to computer via Ethernet hub, please use straight cable.
If connect the Master Controller direct to computer via Ethernet without Ethernet hub,
please use crossover cable.
The Master Controller can be connect to computer either USB or Ethernet, do not connect
both of them.

2.4. DCU wiring
2.4.1. Door Control Unit
Install the DCU near the electronic door lock. Record
the serial number of the DCU because the PC software
SAM uses the serial number to identify the location of
the unit.
DCU has 3 RS-485 I/O ports. Two of which are used
to connect to IN-Card Reader and OUT-Card Reader.
The other port is to connect to the Master Controller
(or HUB).
DCU has one release button input for exit button. Use a dry contact manual switch and connect the two
terminals to the pins. DCU has a relay output for the Door lock. Normal Open (N.O.) and Normal Close
(N.C.) contacts are provided.
All +12V Powers and GNDs in DCU are internally connected. Usually connect a +12VDC power to the port
for Master Controller. Connect the RS-485 line to R+ and R-. Do not feed back the power and ground to
the master controller.
The Power LED will turn to red when power is on; and it will turn to green when the DCU has proper
communication with the master controller.
The Relay LED goes off when the relay is turned on.

2.4.2. Smart Hub
Smart Hub can expand a RS-485 port from the master controller to 8
RS-485 I/O ports to connect with DCUs or TA terminals.
The Power LED will turn to red when power is on; and it will turn to
green when the Smart Hub detected the Master controller.

3. Software Installation
3.1. Software overview
Smart Access Manager (SAM) is developed with last Microsoft .Net technology. It is based on
client-server modal so that SAM can be installed on multiple computers connected to the Microsoft SQL
server. For large scale modal, the Master controller is connected to SAM via Ethernet even VPN remote
site.
If you have your own SQL server, you can choose to connect it during the database setup. If you do not
have one, the installation disk provides the free license Microsoft SQL 2005 Express, and it can be installed
onto a standalone PC and run.
