Warnings and Cautions

WARNING
Before installation, TURN OFF the external circuit breaker which supplies power to the
system.

Before connecting the device to the power supply, verify that the output voltage is within
specifications of the power supply.

Do not apply power to the system until after the installation has been completed.
Personal injury or death could occur, and the equipment could be damaged beyond
repair, if this precaution is not observed!

WARNING
Fire Safety and Liability Notice

Never connect card readers to any critical entry, exit door, barrier, elevator or gate
without providing an alternative exit in accordance with all fire and life safety codes
pertinent to the installation. These fire and safety codes vary from city to city and you
must get approval from local fire officials whenever using an electronic product to control
a door or other barrier. Use of egress buttons, for example, may be illegal in some cities.
In most applications, single action exit without prior knowledge of what to do is a life
safety requirement. Always make certain that any required approvals are obtained in
writing. DO NOT ACCEPT VERBAL APPROVALS, AS THEY ARE NOT VALID.

NexWatch never recommends using the PW-3000 or PW-5000 or related products for use
as a primary warning or monitoring system. Primary warning or monitoring systems should
always meet local fire and safety code requirements. The installer must also test the
system on a regular basis by instructing the end user in appropriate daily testing proce-
dures. Failure to test a system regularly could make installer liable for damages to the end
user if a problem occurs.

Description
The Output Board provides connections for 16 relay outputs. This board can be rack
mounted, in which case, only one edge is accessible for wiring. Mounting the board flat
increases the amount of available I/O slightly but also significantly decreases the number
of boards that can be mounted in one enclosure.

Starting at the bottom of the rack-mount side of the board, the first connector provides
power to the board. The next connector provides communication with the Controller
(PW5KxIC). Continuing up this edge, the next 6 connectors provide 12 relay output
connections.

When the board is mounted flat, four additional relay outputs and two dedicated alarm
inputs for cabinet tamper and power fault detection are available on the opposite edge of
the board.

All 16 form-C relay outputs are designed to handle dry-circuit signals. The two dedicated
inputs are non-supervised. Communication to the control panel is accomplished via an
RS-485 interface. This board requires 12 VDC input power.

When communication to the Controller is lost, this board maintains all previous output
settings at the time communication was lost.

FLASH Flash when there is activity on its Serial Port.

In addition to the status LEDs, there are 16 additional LEDs on board for relay status.
When any relay is energized or ON, its corresponding status LED turns ON also. The LED
remains ON for as long as the relay is energized. The assignment for each relay status
LED is shown in the following table.

RELAY# 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
LED D4 D6 D8 D10 D3 D5 D7 D9

Power
The Output board accepts 12 VDC with an operating range of 10 to 16 VDC and con-
sumes 275mA of current. Locate the power source as close to the board as possible.
Connect power with a minimum of 18AWG cables.

NOTE: POLARITY for 12 VDC power is important. Make sure the +12 VDC is
connected to the terminal labeled +12V and the return is connected to the terminal
labeled GND.

Communications
The Output board communicates to host controller through an RS-485 interface. The
interface allows for multi-drop communication of up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) total per
port. Use two twisted pair (minimum 24AWG) with shield (Belden 9842 or equiv.) for
communication. The default speed of this port is 38.4Kbps but it can be downgraded to
19.2Kbps or 9.6Kbps if line conditions or receiving equipment require it (see jumper and
DIP switch settings).

TD1117 rev1101
12 Installation Guide PW-5000 Output Module

For Wiring to an RS-485 port:

1. TR+ is the plus side of the transmit and receive differential signal

2. TR– is the negative side of the transmit and receive differential signal.

3. GND is the signal ground. The wiring for this signal is required and NOT optional.
This signal must NOT be connected to chassis GND.

4. Use 24 AWG low capacitance, two twisted-pair, shielded cable (Belden 9842 or
equiv.).

Common

Note: For N-485 Communication Connections, twist the blue pair together and use as the
common; use the orange pair as your data pair, observing polarity. Connect the external
drain shield to the appropriate earth ground on one end.

5. When daisy-chaining RS-485 ports together connect the TR+ wires from the up-
stream and downstream boards to the TR+ terminal and likewise, connect the TR–
wires from the upstream and downstream boards to the TR– terminal.

By factory default J1 is set open. If this board is the last board on the RS-485 bus,
install jumper J1 across both pins (closed). Closing J1 provides the bus termination
required.

Alarm Contact Wiring

Inputs TMP and PFL are typically used for monitoring cabinet tamper and power failure
respectively. These two inputs are not supervised and are not accessible when the board
is rack mounted. These inputs are used when this board is mounted remotely and cannot
take advantage of the tamper and power fail detect inputs on the Controller board. If these
inputs are not used, install a short piece of wire at the input to indicate safe condition.

Control Output Wiring

Sixteen form-C relay contacts are provided as general-purpose outputs. They are
configurable as standard (energize to activate) or fail-safe (de-energize to activate) by the
host software.

The energized or ON time of each relay can be configured using pulse control for single or
repeating pulses by the host software. The energized or ON time of a single pulse can be
extended up to 24 hours. For repeating pulses, the on/off time can be defined in 0.1
second increments and be repeated up to 255 times.

All 16 relays are rated for dry contact signal or load switching. While they are sized to
handle typical loads, load switching can cause abnormal contact wear and premature
contact failure. Switching of inductive loads (i.e., strikes) also causes EMI (electromag-
netic interference) which may interfere with normal operation of other equipment. To
minimize premature contact failure and to increase system reliability, a contact protec-
tion circuit is highly recommended. The following two circuits are suggested. Locate the
TD1117 rev1101
PW-5000 Output Module Installation Guide 13

protection circuit as close to the load as possible (within 12 inches [30cm]), as the
effectiveness of the circuit decreases as the distance from the load increases.

Relays 13 through 16 are general purpose relay outputs and are not available when the
board is rack mounted.

S-4 Power Source
2 C
3 NO LOAD

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

Mounting Options
This board can be mounted on-edge in the rack-mount enclosure provided by NexWatch or
ti can be mounted flat against any surface using standoffs under the mounting holes
provided in each of the four corners of this board.

When this board is rack-mounted, the connectors for tour general-purpose outputs and
two dedicated inputs are not accessible and should not be used.

The most likely reason for mounting a board flat is that it is being installed remotely to
be located near the door(s) being monitored. In this case, mount it in its own enclosure.
Use the two dedicated inputs to monitor cabinet tamper and power faults. The four
additional general-purpose outputs allow for the control of local horns or other equip-
ment.
