Connecting a Cisco Output Module
Overview
The optional Cisco Output Module (Figure 5-1) is attached to a Cisco Physical Access Gateway or Cisco Reader Module to provide additional connections for up to 8 outputs, each of which can be configured as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
Figure 5-1 Cisco Output Module
The Cisco Output Module is connected to a Cisco Physical Access Gateway or Cisco Reader Module using a CAN connection to provide connections for additional output devices, as, as shown in Figure 5-2.

Power
|
Two-pin connector for Voltage In (VIN) and Ground (GND) to connect a 12 to 24 VDC external power source.
|

|
CAN interface
|
A 3-wire CAN bus is used to connect additional modules.
Note Modules are connected using the CAN1 interface. The CAN2 interface is not supported in this release.
|

|
CAN terminator
|
The CAN terminator switch is set to ON for the last device in a CAN wiring bus. This switch is set to set to OFF for all other devices in the CAN bus.

Output Connection
|
Eight Form C (5A @ 30V) relay outputs. Each output can be configured as either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO).
•C & NO connection: The relay is normally open. The circuit is closed when triggered.
•C & NC connection: The relay is normally closed. The circuit is opened when triggered.
Note Common (C) is always used, and either NC or NO is used to complete the connection.

PF
|
Power fail input: an unsupervised input that raises a "power fail" alarm when the circuit is open. Can be configured as an additional unsupervised port. An unsupervised input indicates only normal or alarm. The corresponding LED is red when circuit is open (when no input is connected).
|

|
TM
|
Tamper input: an unsupervised input that raises a "tamper" alarm when the circuit is open. Can be configured as an additional unsupervised port. An unsupervised input indicates only normal or alarm. The corresponding LED is red when circuit is open (when no input is connected).

Installing the Cisco Output Module
Install a Cisco Output Module is provide additional output connections for a Cisco Reader Module or Gateway
Before You Begin
Verify the following:
•Verify that the module has access to a power source. See Power Options and Requirements, page 1-10 for more information.
•Verify that you have the necessary mounting brackets or other hardware. See Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module, page 1-11.
Installation Procedure
To install the module, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Mount the module to a wall. See Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module, page 1-11 for more information.
Step 2 Connect the module to the DC power source:
a. Insert a two-pin connector plug into the DC power port (Figure 5-5)
b. Connect the Voltage In (VIN) and ground (GND) wires.
See Power Options and Requirements, page 1-10 for more information.

Step 3 Connect the module to the CAN bus:
a. Insert a three-pin connector plug into the CAN1 port, as shown in Figure 5-6.
b. Connect the CAN wires to the CAN bus, as shown in Figure 5-7
c. Turn the CAN terminator ON if the device is the last device in a CAN wiring bus.
Note The CAN terminator switch in included on the Reader, Input and Output modules only (the Gateway is always the first device in the CAN bus). Set the terminator switch to OFF for all other modules in the CAN bus.
Note The CAN2 interface is not supported in this release.
See Optional Expansion Modules, page 1-6 for more information.

Step 4 Connect output devices to the module:
a. Insert three-pin connector plugs into the output ports.
b. Connect the wires from the output devices:
–Common (C) is always used, and either NC or NO is used to complete the connection.
–If the relay is normally open, use the C & NO connections. The circuit is closed when triggered.
–If the relay is normally closed, use the C & NC connections. The circuit is opened when triggered.
Step 5 See the User Guide for Cisco Physical Access Manager for information to configure the module ports.
