CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING THE
INSTALLATION
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
This chapter details how to plan a successful installation, recommended steps, and
explains the hardware and software components of typical setup scenarios.
2.1 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Planning the installation is the single most important aspect of a successful installation.
In general, you need to consider the access controller, the door locks, the devices, and
the need for a network. By the time you are ready to install the system, all of the details
presented in the list below should be known. Take a moment to go through them now
before starting your installation.
During the planning phase, you should determine:
What type of authentication is required for your application?
How many doors need to be secured?
What type of device will be on each door? Doors already inside a
secure area might not need the same type or level of security.
If multiple V-Series 4G devices require networking for template
distribution/management, then a dedicated PC is recommended to
administer the system, as well as an RS-485 to RS-232 converter, and
cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet.
Verify that the chosen access controller supports the Wiegand formats
supported by V-Station 4G devices.
Identify all wiring by the signal levels it is to carry. Use separate cables
and conduits for different signal groups to avoid cross talk. Plan to
separate them by these groups:
Power distribution: Wires carry power to devices, door strikes, etc.
Data communication: RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc.
Signal: Door contact, request-to-exit push button, alarm input, etc.
When planning device placement, determine the distance limitation of
each signal type and use repeaters if necessary.

2.1.4 CHOOSING THE INSTALL LOCATION
V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices are designed to mount on either a double-gang
electrical box or on any flat surface. Consult with local professionals regarding any
building and safety codes that might affect your installation. The correct mounting height
is shown below.
Factors to consider when determining the position of a device on the wall:
Proximity to other switch plates or fixtures (the device should ideally be
mounted in-line with other plates or fixtures)
Distance from the floor to the top of the device (L-1 Identity Solutions
recommends using a height between 48 and 54 inches).
The device should be mounted on the knob-side of the door
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act if in the United
States. Information about http://www.usdoj.gov.
Figure 2-1 Correct Mounting Height
2.1.5 PLAN DEVICE NETWORK
The 4G devices feature a built-in single-door relay that allows them to control a single
door lock. They can therefore function on their own or as part of a larger access control
system.
October 15 2009 – Installation Guide Draft – Edit Purposes Only Page 27
Installation Guide –April 2010
2010
System component selection is specific to each installation, but a minimum system
would consist of a finger-scan device mounted on or near an access point, an electric
lock, and cabling.
A more complex system might consist of devices at multiple access points (each with an
electric door lock), a multi-point controller, networking, and a PC to run the access
controller and SecureAdmin Server software.
See the diagram below for an example (non-Ethernet) system diagram.
Figure 2-2 Example RS-485 System Diagram
Installation of locks and access controllers should be completed according to their
respective manufacturers' specifications and in accordance with all local codes. Final
connections to the device are explained in more detail in Chapter 4.
To avoid externally generated transients, do not run any wires near utility AC power
wiring, lightning rod grounding wire, etc. Grounding equipment is required for ESD
protection and safety.
2.1.6 CHOOSE NETWORK TYPE
If your installation requires the use of network communications, then the choice of
cable, the cable run length, the network topology, and the termination of the network are
important aspects that must be considered. The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices
can be networked using RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet protocols.
The table below outlines relevant parameters of the RS-485, RS-232, and 100 baseT
Ethernet communication protocols.

2.1.6.1 RS-232
If your system has only one device, or a few devices (each only a short distance away
from the SecureAdmin PC) then RS-232 can be used, provided that each device can
have a dedicated RS-232 port.
With RS-232 at 9600 baud, a distance of 150 feet is possible with shielded cable, but at
56 Kbps, a maximum of only 20 feet is recommended.
2.1.6.2 RS-485
RS-485 has two distinct advantages over the more common RS-232. First, it allows you
to connect up to 31 4G devices to a PC with an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter
(available from L-1 Identity Solutions). Second, the RS-485 specification allows for
cable
run lengths up to 4000 feet (1200 meters) at modest baud rates.
An RS-485 network is required instead of RS-232 if:
Multiple devices must be connected together so that templates can be
distributed among the devices
The installation has only a single device, but it is over 150 feet (45
meters) from the host PC.
2.1.6.2.1 RS-485 CABLE SPECIFICATION
V-Station 4G devices provide a 2-wire, half-duplex RS-485 interface. The main cable
run should be low capacitance, twisted-pair cable, with approximately 120 -ohm
characteristic impedance. Category-5 rated communications cable is used in RS-485
networks and its characteristics are defined below. This is the recommended cabling for
October 15 2009 – Installation Guide Draft – Edit Purposes Only Page 29
Installation Guide –April 2010
2010
RS-485 communications. The cable connection includes a differential line (+ and -) and
a GND connection.
Table 2-2 Category 5 Cable Characteristics
Specification Recommendation
Capacitance (conductor to conductor)
<20 pF/ft.
Characteristic Impedance 100 - 120 ohms
Nominal DC resistance <100 ohms/1000 ft.
Wire gauge 24 AWG stranded
Conductors/Shielding >2 pair (shielding is recommended)
2.1.6.2.2 RS-485 CABLE LENGTHS
As outlined in the RS-485 specification, the total length of the communication cable
(adding up all of the segments of the run) should not exceed 1200 meters (4000 feet).
Although the RS-485 specification calls for a maximum cable length of 1200 meters and
provides a maximum baud rate well above that of the 4G device, a more conservative
system should be configured to no more than 1000 meters and run at a baud rate of
9600 bits per second. After the network is configured and is running in a stable manner,
the baud rate can be increased if faster network communications are desired.
Drops (down-leads, stubs, T-connections, etc.) to equipment are not recommended, but
if required, should not exceed one foot) and should use the same cable recommended
above. On a long stub, a signal that travels down the wire reflects to the main line after
hitting the input impedance of the device at the end. This impedance is high compared
with that of the cable and the net
effect is degradation of signal quality on the bus.
2.1.6.2.3 RS-485 NETWORK TOPOLOGY
Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a daisy chain configuration (See
Figure 2-3 below). Long stubs or drop downs and the star configuration should be
avoided because they create discontinuities and degrade signal quality. The star
configuration usually does not provide a clean signaling environment even if the cable
runs are all of equal length. The star configuration also presents a termination problem,
because terminating every endpoint overloads the driver. Terminating only two
endpoints solves the loading problem, but creates transmission line problems at the
unterminated ends. A true daisy chain configuration avoids these problems.

Installation Guide –April 2010
2010
NOTICE
The device on the end of the network should be
terminated with a 120 ohm resistor
.
Figure 2-3 Network Topologies Star and Daisy Chain Configurations
NOTICE
A Daisy configuration is recommended over a Star configuration..
2.1.6.3 ETHERNET
If your system is to be configured for use over Ethernet, the wiring will be slightly
different. Communication cables for Ethernet logically form a straight line bus but the
more devices on that bus, the less efficient the network becomes due to increased
collisions, and the weaker the signal will get over distance. Repeaters can be used to
boost the signal strength; however, a better solution is to place switches at intermediate
positions along the bus. The most common Ethernet topology in use today is the star
configuration with a hub or switch in the center.
2.1.6.4 WIRELESSNETWORK DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A wireless network of V-Station 4G offers several advantages over wired networks,
such as convenience, speed of installation, and less wiring. If you
are planning to design a wireless network, consider these points:
Wireless signal interference Metal masses such as HVAC ducts, fire doors, vents,
stairs, etc. disrupt wireless signals. Building and stairwell structures, as well as internal
October 15 2009 – Installation Guide Draft – Edit Purposes Only Page 31
Installation Guide –April 2010
2010
building walls, also impede wireless signals. Some electrical equipment, such as
microwaves, large-screen TVs, cordless telephones are also known to affect wireless
signals. Consider the proximity of devices to these objects.
Distance from access points How far a device is from the closest access point plays a
major factor in determining the stability and strength of the wireless signal.
Multiple Access Points "Repeaters" or multiple access points can solve signal strength
problems that may be caused by either distance or loss due to interference.
2.1.7 CHOOSE POWER SOURCE
V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices can be powered by several methods:
1 2V DC regulated adapter/bullet jack (4G Indoor only)
Power Over Internet (POE) through an inline PoE 802.3af power
injector
Power Over Internet (POE) through an inline PoE36U-1AT-R power
injector (4G Extreme with heater only)
2-pin mini connector with dedicated power source (4G Indoor only)
3-wire cable (4G Extreme).
Power sources should be:
Isolated from other equipment
Filtered
Protected by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or battery backup
Protected by a voltage suppression device if transient electrical surges
are an issue in the location.
When planning a system, know the power requirement of each device. If multiple
devices are to share a common power supply, exercise care to avoid excessive voltage
loss on the wires. Voltage loss can lead to communication problems when devices are
talking and/or listening on different ground references.
Voltage loss is directly proportional to wire resistance and the current the wire carries.
Always place the device as close as possible to the power supply and always select a
wire size appropriate for the load. V-Station 4G devices run on DC power between 12.5
and 24 VDC.
Power requirements for all V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G models are listed below.

Most power supplies on the market today provide good input and output isolation.
However, power supplies which do not provide isolation (or have high leakage
capacitance), coupled with accidental AC power line interchanges, present serious
ground fault problems for installers. With a ground fault, the signal reference between
subsystems may be 115 VAC apart. If these subsystems are interconnected, the large
potential difference can cause equipment damage or personal injury. L-1 Identity
Solutions recommends using a dedicated regulated DC power supply.
All factory-supplied power supply assemblies are either switching or regulated linear
supplies and are isolated for safety and to minimize ground loop problems.
