Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: 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.
Figure 5-2 Cisco Reader Module connected to the Cisco Physical Access Gateway
Physical Overview and Port Description
Each Cisco Output Module includes 10 ports for connecting additional output devices as shown in Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4.

|
Two-pin connector for Voltage In (VIN) and Ground (GND) to connect a 12 to 24 VDC external power source. |
||
|
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. |
||
|
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. |
||
|
Eight Form C (5A @ 30V) relay outputs. Each output can be configured as either Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO).

|
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). |
||
|
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
- Verify that the module has access to a power source. See the “Power Options and Requirements” section for more information.
- Verify that you have the necessary mounting brackets or other hardware. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section.
To install the module, perform the following procedure:
Step 1
Mount the module to a wall. See the “Mounting a Gateway or Optional Module” section 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 the “Power Options and Requirements” section for more information.
Figure 5-5 Power Connections for the Cisco Output Module
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 the “Optional Expansion Modules” section for more information.
Figure 5-6 CAN Connections: Input and Output Modules
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
Cisco Physical Access Manager User Guide
for information to configure the module ports.
